This quote is significant because we finally find out Johnny's condition.

"Our front door is always unlocked in case one of the boys is hacked off at his parents and needs a place to lay over and cool off."

This is noteworthy because it reveals more of Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy's character: They keep their door unlocked in case anyone needs to stay the night.

This shows how people tend to judge a book by its cover, assuming that they know everything about a person when really they don't.

"'I said I don't want to see her.' His voice was rising. 'She's probably come to tell me about all the trouble I'm causing her and about how glad her and the old man'll be when I'm dead. Well, tell her to leave me alone. For once'--his voice broke--'for once just leave me alone.'"
