Holden sits in his room and starts thinking about Allie again and how one time he would not let Allie come with him and his friend to go shoot their BB gun. He still feels bad for not letting Allie come with them. He finally gets in bed, he thinks about praying but he is not very religious so he decides not to. He hears a knock at his door and opens it to find Maurice the elvator guy and sunny standing there. Maurice says Holden still owes him five dollars, Holden said that he said it was only five dollars and he is not going to pay him the five dollars. Maurice gets mad and pins him up against the wall and Sunny takes the money out of his wallet. Holden starts to make insults at maurice and this makes maurice very mad and he punches him in the stomach and then leaves. Holden starts to imagine himself as a movie character that is taking his revenge on maurice after being shot in the stomach. He finally manages to go to sleep, but ony for a little while.
Holden imagines beating up people a lot when they do something that makes him angry. He does this because he knows he is not actually brave enough to do it in real life so he has to imagine he is.
