“Talked the nurse into it with Two-Bit’s switch” I notice that Dally used a switch blade to threaten the nurse into letting him go to join the rumble.If Dally didn’t care about his friends he wouldn’t have threatened the nurse and let his friends get hurt. Although he did threaten the nurse for his friends to show that they are really important to him as well as the rumble. This also shows that Two-Bit is a real greaser because he’s not scared of the violent cause that Dally could make with the switch blade
