What is this quote: "Johnny," Dally said in a pleading, high voice, using a tone I had never heard from him before, "Johnny, I ain't mad at you. I just don't want you to get hurt. You don't know what a few months in jail can do to you.

It is in the book, the outsiders by s.e hinton

In this quote, Dally, who Johnny perceived as being angry, is trying to make Johnny, who he sees as a brother, understand the consequences of his actions. Having spent time in jail, Dally understands what is at stake. He is trying to protect him.
