Chapter 19

Holden goes to the Wicker Bar and starts thinking about Luce. He says that he always talks about sex and called people flits. All you have to do is mention someone and he would tell you if they were a flit or not. Luce is three years older than Holden and goes to Columbia University. When Luce arrives he said he could only stay a few minutes because he had a date. Holden started bugging Luce with questions about his sex life, he hated that. Luce kept asking Holden if this was going to be a typical Caufield conversation, because he wanted to have a nice relaxed conversation.Holden kept asking him who he was dating and he said a Chinese girl. then Holden asked him if she was better and Luce started getting mad again and asked Holden when he was going to grow up. He also told Luce that his sex life was lousy and he had to really like the girl in order to do anything with her. Luce said that Holden could go to his father who is a psychoanalyst and can read the patterns of your mind. Holden thinks about it and Luce says he has to go. Holden asks him if he can stay for one more drink because he is very lonely, but he says he has to go.

Holden is very messed up and it seems like he has been that way for a while. He is always asking everybody weird and personal questions that no normal person would ask anybody. His questions always seem to drive that person away from him, but he doesnt really seem to care.
