"Nothing we can do... not for Dally or Johnny or Tim Shepard or any of us..."
Who is Ponyboy. He meant that there is nothing one can do to help Dally or Johnny or Tim Shepard from the situations that they are in, they are all true greasers and all of this will not change, cannot be changed. However, in the end, Ponyboy does see hope in changing things for future generations, hopefully by writing the book.
