After he left the skating rink Holden went and got something to eat. Then he thought about calling Jane again and asking her to go dancing. he had never taken her dancing before, but he saw her one time and said she was a good dancer. Then he started talking about a guy she dated one time and how he had all muscle and no brains. When he asked her why she liked him she said he wasnt a show off he had an inferiority complex. Holden said all girls will say that if they like the guy. He called Jane , but she didnt answer, so he called a guy from one of his old schools, he said he could meet him at 10 for drinks. It was a long time until 10 so he went and saw a movie. He said it was so horrible he could hardly stop watching it. It was about a guy in the war that lost his memory. Holden said he could never be in the army, he would rather be shot first.Then he said if there is another war he would volunteer to sit on top of the atomic bomb.
Holden is starting to talk about killing himself often. It seems like he has no reason to live. He hates everyone and everything and thinks they are all phonies.
