At first, Palmer does not tell Beans which house is Dorothy's because he wants to defend her. Palmer is confused and does not know why the gang picks on Dorothy as much as they do. He expresses the hope now that he is one of them, he will understand why they call her Fishface and pick on her. Although he does not participate in the prank on Dorothy's house, he runs away with the gang because he wants to be included by them. This is the first time, he thinks, that he is running with the gang.
