Johnny's parents.....

"I think I like it better when the old man's hittin' me." Johnny sighed. "At least then I know he knows who I am. I walk in that house, and nobody says anything. I walk out, and nobody says anything. I stay away all night, and nobody notices. At least you got Soda. I ain't got nobody."

Darry...

"It ain't the same as having your own folks care about you," Johnny said simply.
"It just ain't the same."
