Some people say that you can tell that you are good friends with someone when you just know what the other person needs and what they are feeling without talking.  That's what's going on here.


Ponyboy says this while they are at the movies and have met Cherry.  He is contrasting how he feels around her with how he and Johnny get along.  With Cherry, he feels like talking -- it's a different relationship than he has with Johnny.
