Dale Denton is the main protagonist in the movie Pineapple Express.
Summary[]
Dale Denton, by day, has a job in which he 'serves' people their court order and he dates a high school student named Angie Anderson. By night, contrarily, he is a hard-core stoner who witnesses a murder with corrupt police involvement. While trying to get away he panics and throws his "pineapple express" roach which is so rare and potent that it's traced back to his weed-dealer, Saul. Together, he and Saul run away from the evil criminals while creating a bond; they become BFFFs (Best F***in Friends Forever).
Back at Saul's apartment, Dale learns Ted is a local drug lord and could trace the roach as only Red and Saul have the Pineapple Express strain. Dale and Saul decide they must flee the city. They attempt to hide in the woods where Dale's car battery dies. Dale and Saul visit Red, who after a fight, reveals that Ted knows who they are and intends to kill them. Budlofsky and Matheson torture Red for information and both shoot him in the abdomen. Believing his high-schooler girlfriend Angie to be in danger, he and Saul travel to her home where they are removed at gunpoint by her father. Budlofsky and Matheson arrive at the house but Dale and Saul depart before they can be captured and Angie's family goes to a hotel.
Dale and Saul then sell Pineapple Express to raise bus fare but Dale is arrested by police officer Bobbra. Dale tells Bobbra that he witnessed Brazier and Ted murder a man. Bobbra has long been suspicious of Brazier's corruption and says she will investigate; Saul, thinking he is rescuing Dale, hijacks the police car. Brazier hears on police radio of Dale's arrest and pursues Dale and Saul in a high-speed chase but they escape. After Dale and Saul argue and split up, Saul is kidnapped and is held in Ted's lair. Dale breaks up with Angie over the phone after she talks about marriage. Dale then enlists an injured Red to help to rescue Saul but Red backs out at the last minute and Dale is captured. While Dale and Saul are waiting to be killed, they reconcile their friendship and plan an escape.
Personality[]
Dale is foul-mouthed, yet good-natured, and always trying to keep the mood light. He is neither man nor boy but “dude,” just trying to have a good time. He has no plans to stop smoking weed anytime soon: “Weed makes everything better!” But he is not without ambition. A frequent caller to the local radio station, Dale dreams of one day being a radio personality himself.
