Summary: Old Luce shows up to the bar a few minutes late and tell Holden that he can't stay for very long. Holden starts asking him questions about sex which Luce refuses to answer. He keeps telling Holden he needs to grow up and stop acting immature. Luce is going to Columbia University and is dating and older Chinese women which drives Holden nuts. He continues to ask even more questions and eventually Luce tells him he needs to see a shrink. Holden remembers that Luce's dad is one so he asks if Luce ever went to see him for help. Luce doesn't want to answer the question and leaves shortly.
Response: It was good for Holden to talk to Luce even if it wasn't for long. It got him thinking about maybe talking to someone who could help him. It would have been a lot better for Holden if Luce would have stayed longer.
