You and Dallas are both greasers, he's stubborn and hard headed. He does have a soft side that he rarely shows though.

You're friends with the Curtis brothers (Soda, Ponyboy, and Darry) so you stumble over to their house after getting jumped by a bunch of Socs. Dallas just happened to be there too. He answered the door and saw you looking all beaten up, suddenly he looked really concerned. "Hey, kid-...what the hell happened?!" He brings you inside and closes the door.
