Holden, Ackley and Mal go and see a movie in town eventhough Holden hates movies. But then instead they get something eat and play some games and go back to the prep school. After they get back Ackley and Holden go back to Holden's room and Ackley starts to tell him about this girl that he had sex with the summer before. Then he starts to work on his english paper. Then he starts to think about his brother Allie and how he still is hurt that he died years before this, and how he really misses him and he starts to describe him. After he writes his paper Stradlater comes back to their room and reads his paper, and tells Holden that he has nothing to do with what the assignment was so Holden rips it up and is very angry at Stradlater. Holden trys to talk to Stradlater about his date with Jane. But when Stradlater doesn't want to tell him anything about it Holden attacks Stradlater and then he pins him down to the floor and makes him calm down. Then when Holden doesn't calm down Stradlater punches him in the nose and he leaves cause he thinks he's going to get into trouble. Then Holden goes into Ackley's room and tries to talk to him. And Holden tries to fall asleep and he can't all he is thinking about is Jane and Stradlater and he can't believe Jane. After this, he wakes up Ackley and he tries to discuss about how he wants to join a monistary, but he wonders if you can do that even if your not Catholic. Holden leaves Ackley's room because he thinks he's being phony. So he decides he will leave for New York a couple of days early. Once he leaves Pencey, he walks all the way to the train station to go to New York. Once he gets on the train the mother of Ernest Morrow sits next to him and starts to tell her things about how her son is amazing at school and he's popular. When she asks his name he lies and tells her his name is a janitors name and he's going to New York for a brain tumor operation. Day 3 ** Summarizer ** In the begining of chapter nine Holden gets off of the train at Penn Station and has an urge to call someone. He spends about twenty minutes trying to decide who to call, he neds up not calling anybody. Instead he gets a cab to go to his hotel. On the way there he asks the cab driver if he knows where the ducks go in the lagoon near Central Park South during the winter; the cab driver thinks he is crazy. He gets to his room of his hotel and realizes that its a pretty run down place. Also a lot of crumby people are staying in it. He looks out his window to see the view but his veiw is the other side of the hotel. As he is looking outside he sees this man in another window that is trying on female clothes. He also sees in another window a man and a women squirting water on each other. He then explains that sometimes crumby stuff turns him on, which he tells us he doesn't like. After Holden is done watching the other members of the hotel he still feels like calling someone. He really wants to call his sister Phoebe because he doesn't mind talking to her but he thinks it's too late. Also he parents would pick up the phone and wonder why he isn't at Pencey Prep. He also still wants to call Jane at her school but realizes they aren't allowed phone calls. He was going to tell them that it was her uncle and her aunt just died, but decided he had to be in the mood to lie like that and he wasn't. He remembers this guy that he met once at a party that gave him this number of a stripper. He called her up and she got mad at him for waking her up in the middle of the night. Holden then asked her to go out for a cocktail but she denied him saying it was the middle of the night and she had to wake up early tomorrow. After being denied Holden decided to go down the the Lavendar room. He got a table right next to these three ladies. He kept on staring at them even though he thought they were ugly. He asked them to dance and ended up dancing with each of them. He realized they were completely stupid and all they wanted to do was look for movie stars. They eventually told him that they had to go to bed because they were getting up early the next morning to see the first show at Radio City. Shortly after the three ladies left so did Holden. He went out to the lobby and just sat in a chair thinking about Jane. He told us that him and Jane were just really close friends but nothing more. The only thing they ever did was held hands and he kissed her on the face once. He said he was really attracted to her though. And thinking about her and Stradlater together really killed him. Once he got bored of sitting in the lobby he left to go to Ernie's club. His brother and him went to this club when they were younger. On the way there he asked the cab driver if he knows where the ducks at the lagoon go during winter. The cab driver gets really annoyed with Holden and tells him it's like the fish that live there, they just get frozen in the ice. Holden tried to let the subject go since the cab driver was getting worked up about it but the cab driver kept bringing it up. He got a crappy table next to complete "morons" and just sat there listening to their conversations. One of his brother's friends recongized him and told him to come sit with her and her boyfriend. But Holden didn't like this friend of his brothers so told her he was just leaving to go meet someone. Since he lied and told her that he actually had to leave the club; which made him pretty mad.

He insisted that she not do that, she got mad at that and asked him why he told the elevator operator that he wanted a girl if he wasn't going to do anything. He then payed her the 5 dollars he thought he owed her and she argued with him that it was 10. Holden was sure of it that the guy in the elevator said 5 dollars, and 15 til noon. she eventually took the 5 with a grudge and left. He was just sitting in his hotel room when he heard a knock on the door, he was immediately scared and knew just who it was. He went to open the door and he was right, it was the elevator operator and Sunny demanding the 5 dollars he owed them.

The elevator operator barged in the room and punched him in the stomach while sunny went to his wallet and took the 5 dollars.
