In The Outsiders, what does Randy reveal about why he won't fight in the rumble?

Once Randy gets Ponyboy aside, he tells him that Bob’s death had really shaken him up. He knew that Bob had gone too far and that maybe he deserved to get hurt but that he wasn’t a bad guy. He said that he’d just been looking for someone to stand up to him and set some limits but that no one would ever do it. So he just pushed harder and harder and ended up dead.


Randy tells Pony that he is just tired and sick of it all. He feels like there’s no real point to the fight and that it won’t change anything in the long run. Since he’d be marked as a wimp if he quit in the middle of the fight, he plans to just get all the money he can and run off somewhere.
