They went to town and ate dinner but ended up not seeing a movie so they got back to the dorm early. Holten decided to then write the paper for his roomate and tried to think of something to write about. He then wrote about his brother, who died, and his baseball glove. His roomate then came home and complained that it was about a glove so Holten tore it up.

 * My Title for the Section:**
 * Summary:** This section starts off with Holden walking home from the club he was at which is 41 blocks away from his hotel. He tells the reader that the reason he is walking is because he doesn't want to ride in another taxicab. When he reaches his hotel the elevator guy offers him a hooker, he accepts this gracious offer in his time of need for female companionship. As the prostitute came into his room Holden describes how she was rude and from reading the dialogue it is obvious that neither of them really want to do what she was there for. Obviously a 16-17 year old girl doesn't want to let other men use her body for their pleasure and Holden seems like he just wants to talk with her. Holden starts a conversation and then goes into lying about a fake operation he had, probably just to make himself seem interesting. After she leaves, Holden starts talking outloud to himself but in his mind he was talking to his little brother Allie. This is an obvious clue that Holden is still and always will be depressed about his little brother dying. The following morning big ol' pimpy Maurice came to his door with the little hooker Sunny demanding that he pays another 5 dollars for the service. Holden refused and points out that Maurice clearly said 5 dollars but he denied it, unless he was just too stupid to remember. Sunny took 5 dollars out of Holden's wallet while Maurice had him up against the door. Then Holden started getting really upset and insulted Maurice to the point where he punched Holden in the stomach and left. Holden can't do anything to him because hes laying on the floor gasping for breath. After he takes a bath he goes into bed and falls asleep, when he wakes up he once again "feels like" calling Jane but isn't in the mood. Which doesn't make any sense to me. Instead, he calls up a friend of his named Sally and schedules a date to go see a movie. She accepts. When Holden gets to the station he puts his junk in a lockbox and goes to get breakfast when two nuns come in with cheap suitcases . Then Holden goes off on a ridiculous rant about how he hates people with cheap suitcases. Holden starts talking to them and offers them 10 dollars for whatever churches do with contribution money, after awhile they finally accept it and constantly thank him. After talking for awhile they leave and Holden reflects on how he should've given them more money but he needs it for his date with Sally.

 * Summary: It starts off with Holden in a bar thinking about his friend Luce. Luce is older than him and is currently at Columbia University. As he is sitting in the bar he thinks about all the discussions they had while they were at school together. He orders some rum and coke and waits for his arrival. He says that Luce always knew everything about everyone and he was very smart. Once he was done talking though everyone had to go back to their own rooms and not continue the conversation because he wanted to be the smartest. Luce then arrived at the bar and they ordered more drinks. Holen keeps asking Luce about sex and girls and Luce gets mad because he does not want to talk about his personal things. He also thinks that Holden is immature and needs to grow up. Holden then finds out that Luce has moved on to an older Chinese woman because they are better in the East. Luce's dad is a psychoanalyst and tells Holden maybe he should arrange a meeting with him. Holden then asks if he has ever gotten a psychoanalysis from his dad and Luce starts acting weird and then leaves the bar. Holden then stays at the bar and gets drunk because he felt like it. He tries to have a drink with the singer but the waiter did not give her the message. He then leaves and goes to call Jane. When he gets to the phonebooth he does not feel like calling her anymore and calls up Sally instead. Sally's grandmother answers the phone and then Sally wakes up and goes on. She tells him to go home and sleep since he is drunk. He then goes to get his coat but lost his ticket. The lady was nice and still gave him his stuff and he tried to arrange a date but she turned him down nicely. He then walked to central park to try to see what the ducks were doing. He starts crying and drops the record for phoebe and gets more upset. His hair was wet and starts to freeze in the cold weather and then he starts to worry that he is going to get sick and die. Before he died he decided that he should go see phoebe one last time. He thinks about his funeral and how it would be and who would show up which led him to thinking about Allie's death again. He then leaves the park on his way to his house. Holden takes the elevator up to the floor and lucky for him it was a new elevator boy. He told him that he was going to a different apartment and that he had a bad leg and the boy believed him. He then sneaks into the house but Phoebe is not in her home. He then finds her asleep in D.B.'s room and watches her sleep and looks at her school work a little. He then wakes her up and she is very excited to see him and starts telling him all kinds of stories. She told him about her school play and bullies and everything else that was going on. She then realizes Holden is early and that he got kicked out of school and starts stating that their parents are going to kill him. The chapter ends with Holden leaving the room to get some cigarettes.**
