The first unit in a sequence.constantly ridiculed by Johnny and Frankie for being spineless. Johnny's father, Sonny Truelove (Bruce Willis), supplies his son with the marijuana from which he makes a fortune selling.

Jake Mazursky (Ben Foster), one of Johnny's friends and part-time distributors, is shown interrupting dinner to ask his father for money to pay a drug debt ($1200). After Jake is denied by his father and stepmother, his 15-year-old half-brother Zach (Anton Yelchin) asks to come along with him, which Jake doesn't allow. Later, at one of his many parties, Johnny meets Jake. When Jake tells Johnny that he has failed to collect a drug debt for him, they fight over the money. The fight culminates in Johnny pulling a pistol on Jake and kicking him out of his house after Mazursky gets the upper hand in the brawl. Jake decides to continue the fight by salting an insurance fraud set up by Johnny and a mutual friend, costing Truelove $30,000. In retaliation, Johnny calls Mazursky's boss, claiming to be Jake's parole officer, and tells the boss that Mazursky has been getting in trouble breaking into houses and using speed. As a result Mazursky loses his job and only other means of income. As an ex-con, Jake's chances of finding another job are slim, and he becomes furious with Johnny. Jake and several armed friends therefore break into and trash Johnny's house and steal his television. Although armed, Johnny does not confront them, but hides until they leave.

    Johnny’s parents abuse him verbally and physically, and he usually chooses to stay away from his home. He clarifies the theme of family love in the story because his family is the opposite of it. Ponyboy says, “If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would have never known what love and affection are.” I chose this quote because it describes how much Johnny needs the gang. This quote identifies Johnny as a character whose life has been changed because of his peers and how they have helped him.…

    Jake lacks many things in life such as loving parents and a loving girlfriend but he mainly lacks attention and being careful throughout life. He never thinks twice about his actions but if it means keeping his freedom and not getting in trouble then he’ll do whatever it takes. Even if it means hurting someone around him for his own gain and then going on in life as if nothing ever happened being the same low-life that he is. Even though Jake thinks about what he does and what he is going to do, it is never in a positive way and it seems like somebody always gets hurt. He thinks about changing his life but the fact of keeping his freedom blinds him into doing deceitful things to keep it that way and never really changes. In the story, the inciting incident is when Jake rear-ends an innocent bystander while wanting to hurry through traffic but fate collides and the event spills out and eventually Jake is stopped on the side of the road thinking of what just happened. He is quick to admire what little damage he caused to his car “‘It didn’t even scratch my paint’, Jake told her in that way of his” (44), and admire the beauty…

Finn then jumps off the roof and lands crotch first on a fence, causing Jake to spit out Finn. BMO comes outside and hits Jake one last time before the screen goes black and the scene goes to Finn playing BMO on the couch. Jake has a red lower body as he limps onto the couch to lie down. As Jake recovers, he chastises Finn while Finn tells him pain is easy to take. Jake challenges this by shrinking down, hopping into Finn's body and taking control of it to wear him like a suit until he admits that pain isn't fun.
