Quote #7

SONNY: When a guy picks a chick over his buddies, something gotta be wrong.

All the guys do is talk about chicks, but the other guys get jealous when one of them gets a girl and the others don't. It's almost like they're all high school students and have no idea what they actually want… Hmm…

Quote #8

KENICKIE: Well, I thought that you could maybe be my second at Thunder Road?

This is a nice moment in the friendship of Danny and Kenickie. The two recognize this and hug, but only for a second, because the masculine norms of the time forbid two men touching—unless one of them is grabbing the other one's scrotum in greeting. To maintain their image, the two men break away and comb their hair as if nothing happened.
