The Outsiders

The Last Words:

Johnny: “Stay gold.”This quote is a just telling Pony boy to not turn into a heartless person like dally and not to drop out like Soda pop did.This part of the book supports what I'm saying."I have good grades  and a high IQ and everything."That shows how  Johnny wants Pony to stay so he doesn't become a drop out like Soda and into a heartless like dally and or a brainless person and he knew that Pony would listen to him now being at last moments and those where his last words.
