 * Holden sits around and drinks and waits for the two French women to come out and sing. Instead, this new woman named Valencia comes out.
 * Holden, getting "drunk as hell," gives her the eye, which she ignores
 * By 1am, Holden is really drunk. So he starts pretending that he's got a bullet in his guts and is doing an amazing of job concealing that fact from the rest of the world.
 * Blind drunk, he ends up in a phone booth and gives Sally Hayes a call.
 * Her grandma picks up.
 * Somehow or another, Sally does end up the phone. Holden tells her he'll come over and trim her Christmas tree, rambles on about how the mob got him, and hangs up. Or rather, gets hung up on.
 * Holden ends up in the men's room. He dunks his head and then just sits shivering by the window.
 * The piano player comes into the bathroom. Holden tries to get him to deliver a message to her, but once again gets a "What are you, twelve?" sort of response.
 * He's one of those annoying, handsome guys like Stradlater, who combs his hair a bunch in the mirror and then just leaves you alone in the bathroom.
 * Crying and depressed, Holden heads for the hat-check room to get his coat and Little Shirley Beans record. He chats with the hat-check girl and tries to make a date with her even though she's old enough to be his mother.
 * He shows her his red hunting hat, and she makes him wear it outside
 * Back outside, he decides to go check out the lagoon and see if the ducks are there.
 * And then—he drops the Little Shirley Beans record. It breaks into "about fifty pieces." He picks them up and puts them back into his pocket, almost crying.
 * In the pitch black dark of the late night/early morning, Holden finds his way through the park to the lagoon. No ducks.
 * So he sits down on a bench and shivers. Maybe he'll get pneumonia and die, he thinks
 * Holden imagines his funeral and how all his aunts would come, like they did for Allie's funeral.
 * He wasn't allowed to go, since he was still in the hospital for his hand, but D.B. told him one aunt kept saying how peaceful Allie looked.
 * Mostly, he'd feel sorry for his mother, who isn't even over Allie's death yet.
 * If he does die, he hopes they just chuck him in a river.
 * Holden doesn't like visiting Allie's grave; he doesn't think his brother should be there surrounded by all those dead guys.
 * The worst, he says, was when he was visiting the grave and it started to rain. They could all run for their cars or umbrellas, but Allie couldn't.
 * To get his mind off the subject, Holden counts his money. It's a little more than three bucks. He skips the change across the water where it isn't frozen.

Holden stays at the bar until one a.m., "getting drunk as a bastard." He decides to call Jane, but changes his mind and calls Sally Hayes instead, waking first her grandmother and then her. She tells him to go home. Instead, he goes into the bar's bathroom and dunks his head in a sinkful of water. In the bathroom he sees the bar's piano-player, who also tells him to go home. At the coat-check, Holden can't find his claim stub, but the woman gives him back his coat and Phoebe's record anyway, and tells him to go home. He goes into Central Park to see if the ducks are gone for the winter yet, but on the way he drops Phoebe's record and it shatters. Not finding any ducks at the little lake, he lies down on a bench, and he worries that he'll get pneumonia (his hair is still wet, and it is December). He wonders what his funeral might be like, drawing on what he heard of his brother Allie's. Holden himself was not there because he was still in the hospital with his broken hand from breaking the garage windows that night.=====

Holden says he doesn't go with his parents anymore when they visit Allie's grave. He sadly thinks of Allie's grave getting rained on, with Allie unable to do anything about it. Holden counts his money, and finds he has less than five dollars left. He thinks about how Phoebe would act if he died, then decides he's going to sneak home and see her. The cold has made him feel sober and awake, and he walks briskly home.=====

Chapter 20 Notes, Ryan McDonnell

After Luce Leaves, Holden stays at the bar and gets very drunk. He goes to the phone call and makes an incoherent late-night call to Sally Hayes, which angers both her and her grandmother. He attempts to make a date with the lounge singer, a woman named Valencia, which fails, and then attempts to make a date with the hat check girl. He walks to the duck pond in Central Park, and while in journey, he breaks the record he bought for Phoebe. His hair begins to freeze because he splashed water on his face back at the bar. While at the pond, he worries that he might catch Pneumonia, and he imagines his funeral. He tells us that he missed Allie’s funeral, and that while going to Allie’s grave at another time, they put flowers on his grave, which disturbed him. Holden then decides that he wants to talk to Phoebe, and since he is running low on money, he decides to sneak home, which will allow him to speak to Phoebe, and leave unnoticed by his parents. He leaves Central Park, and makes his way home.

 Courtney Neal p.8 Holden gets drunk and is looking for the attention of random people he sees at the Whiskey bar. He tries to buy Valencia a drink after she sings at her show, but the headwaiter never relays the message. Then, initially looking to call Jane, Holden calls Sally Hayes. He bothers her grandmother and Sally tells Holden to go home. He goes back over to the bar and asks Valencia's piano player if he needs a manager. He also tells Holden to go home. On his way out, Holden asks the checkout woman for a date. She gives him his coat and tells him she's old enough to be his mother. Holden leaves and is hit by cold weather. He drops and breaks the "Little Shirley Beans" record he bought for Phoebe. Holden finds the pond in Central Park without ducks and sits on a bench in the light. He is so cold that he has thoughts of dying from pneumonia. This leads him to the thought of Allie's death. Holden couldn't go to the funeral, because he was in the hospital for his hand. He mentions feeling disturbed putting flowers on Allie's grave. Holden gets up, skips his remaining money in the unfrozen areas of the lake and heads back home to see Phoebe.

Kylie Brown P.4 Holden calls Sally Hayes after getting very drunk. Despite him calling at such a late hour, Sally is understanding and says he can call her the next day. She also tells him to go home and sleep. Then, Holden befriends the piano man. After a bit of conversation, the piano player also tells Holden to go home. Holden then moves onto the hatcheck girl and asks for a date. She also tells him to go home. Despite receiving the same advice multiple times, Holden ignores this advice and goes to central park. There he looks for the ducks. He accidentally breaks Phoebe's Little Shirley Beans record that he bought her. Holden finds the pong and sits on the bench. He reminisces about Allie and his funereal. This part was very emotional, but Holden avoids that because he doesn't realize his depressed feelings and doesn't know how to cope with them. Then, he goes home to see Phoebe.
