She doesn't try to defend Bob's actions, but she laments the fact that he is dead. Pony asks her whether she is going to visit Johnny in the hospital, but she says that she just can't because Johnny had killed her boyfriend. She speaks to both Pony and Two-Bit and assures them that the Socs are going to follow the rules - no weapons. He accuses Pony of being a chicken, but Pony defends himself and says that it isn't about being chicken, it is about the awful feeling that something bad is going to happen at the rumble.Ĭherry Valance is at the vacant lot when the boys go by. He tries to convey it to Two-Bit, but Two-Bit doesn't want to understand. Ponyboy has a bad feeling about the rumble. Ponyboy begs him not to tell Darry that he is ill and assures him that as soon as he takes a handful of aspirins he'll be fine and ready to rumble. Pony has almost fallen asleep when Two-Bit returns, and Two-Bit questions his health. Two-Bit leaves Pony at the bus stop while he goes into the gas station for cigarettes. The boys leave Dally and decide to take the bus home. He asks Two-Bit for his black-handled switchblade and, upon receiving it, places it under his pillow. He is his old self, and resents the fact that he will not be able to take part in the rumble that night. Pony and Two-Bit also visit Dally, who is still in the hospital. For once." He passes out after this incident, and it is evident that he is experiencing a great deal of pain. Johnny's mother shows up to visit him, but Johnny refuses to see her: "Tell her to leave me alone.

He tells them that 16 years is not enough living and that it is just not fair. Johnny knows that his condition is not good, and he is afraid of dying.

#TWO BITS SWITCHBLADE PATCH#
(Note the mouse patch I used and the mouse on his shirt in the pics below) I really try to get as close as I can with these.When Two-Bit and Ponyboy arrive at the hospital, the nurses won't let them see Johnny.
#TWO BITS SWITCHBLADE SERIAL#
The Autograph is certified authentic ( 4x 6 index card ) and slabbed in plastic with a serial # I added the engraved brass plaque and mouse to add a little to it.

The best was the hospital scene where you can see his skills with it.Īnyway this is my knife and case for anybody that might enjoy seeing it. The first close up of his knife was in a fight scene where outnumbered by Soc's walking with the Soc's girlfriends he breaks a budweiser bottle on the fence, throws it to his buddy (glass bottle weapon)
#TWO BITS SWITCHBLADE MOVIE#
The movie gave several advertisement references to Budweiser Beer and pinned the Bud crown on Two Bit as theres a few scenes with him drinking Bud. Two Bits character was a joker that wore sleeveless Mickey Mouse shirts and was a big fan of Mickey and his character was similar to the vintage mouse. This knife was intended for a case with an autograph from Emilio Estivez. Since I have a small Autographs collection I started enjoying building movie display cases of my favorites with props of my own as a hobbie. This was one of the hardest knives for me to locate. They are unbeleivably rare now and bali collectors want a mint for one.

The model offered 4 different blade types (as well as a damascus for each) and Two Bits had the Weehawk blade, and "hidden pin" look. It's a Pre Benchmade "BALI SONG" brand butterfly knife I heard was made in the USA in the 70's. Many people refer his knife to this day as "Two Bits switchblade" Emilio Estevez was a natural with flipping it open with some real style and at first I thought it was a switchblade (I was 11) The first scene in a movie I ever saw a butterfly knife in was The Outsiders.
