Honestly sounds like you've got him figured out pretty well.
You grow up in the way Dallas did and you've almost got no other choice. Far as I know, he had to figure out how to fend for himself when he was still just a little kid.
[Poor Johnny. He hasn't been around the barge long enough to realize that none of these new people are actually new...He thinks that you're really here, Darry, and seeing you brings a mist over his eyes.]

It ain't that Dallas is a bad kid. He's just got some things he needs to work out. He grew up too quick.

Why was he forced to grow up so quickly?

It's good to see you t-too, Darry...
Real good...
What makes you think...you can't stay? How else'd you be here? I didn't even know you could leave...

I'd sure love to stay, Johnny, but you've gotta remember that Ponyboy and Sodapop have still gotta have someone lookin' after them.
