On the way to the room, he talks about the appearance of the room, when he arrives he sits down in his chair, suddenly Ackley, his roommate opposite, comes in and asks him to get him some scissors, to cut his nails. While Holden looks for the scissors, Stradlater's tennis racket falls on top of his head and Ackley laughs. While he is cutting his nails, Ackley begins to speak badly of Stradlater, Holden's roommate, and when he hears his comments, he is offended and defends his partner.

While they are talking about Stradlater, Stradlater appears and asks Holden to leave a jacket of his because he has to go on a date.

When Stradlater enters, he and Ackley greet each other very falsely and Ackley leaves the room because he does not like Stradlater.

In the place Holden sits alone in the same place where he was sitting with his brother, and suddenly a friend of his brother DB recognizes him, Lillian the friend of his brother introduces him to his appointment, and Holden considers him a very manly man. And to not stay with them because he considers them too exaggerated, he decided to lie to them saying that he was about to leave, and he leaves.

When he finishes he goes to breakfast at a bar, and he sits near two nuns, and they make him feel guilty because he has had too much breakfast, and they only have coffee with toast. The three have a conversation and in the end Holden is the one who pays the breakfasts and gives them money.

Holden, meanwhile, goes to the Radio City Music Hall and watches the Rockettes and other acts. In one act he thinks that Jesus must be vomiting, for such stupidity they were doing for him. In the movies, he sees a war movie according to him bad and there he gets angry because a mother does not want to take his son to the bathroom and also gets excited about the movie. In the end he goes to the Wicker Bar to be with Carl Luce.

Mr. Antolini listens to Holden when he speaks but, when he speaks, Holden does not pay much attention because he keeps yawning, and they decide to finish speaking in the morning. When waking up Holden wakes up in Panic, by the acts of the teacher and for that reason it lies to him saying that it is necessary to go to collect his suitcases of the station. In the corridor, towards the exit of the house Mr. Antolini tells him that he can return, a fact that frightens, makes Trend and perspire Holden, he leaves in a hurry.

Holden and the professor began to talk about life, Holden's studies and how his parents would take another expulsion. When the conversation ended, Spencer read Holden's essay on the Egyptians. Holden did not want the professor to read it, so he sat down and said mentally: “I had to sit there and listen to that crap”.

And Holden finally left.

Holden, remembering his brother, began to remember moments and what was really missed. 

He tells us that Jane is not very pretty, but she likes it a lot.

One afternoon, while playing the ladies, the stepfather asked if there was a cigarette in the house but she started crying. Holden to comfort her began kissing her face but never in her mouth.

Holden when he imagined Jane with Stradlater got up and went in a taxi to "Ernie".

Then there was a knock at the door, it was Sunny and Maurice who came to collect their debt. Holden does not want to pay, Sunny takes the money and Holden begins to cry, at that moment Maurice hits him in the stomach. When they left, Holden imagined his revenge for the girls and also imagined Jane healing his wounds. In the end, he falls asleep.

He decides to go find his sister to give him the album. Once in the park they tell him that he is in the museum of the Indians, but when he arrives he leaves.
