    Since Holden only paid the hooker 5 dollars for her visit chapter 14 starts off with Maurice and Sunny coming back to his room asking for another 5 dollars. Because Holden is stuburn and wants to be a tough guy he refuses to give them the money. He tells them that Maurice told him it was only 5 dollars so he won't give them anymore money than he already has. Eventually Maurice gets impatient he smacks him and than Sunny takes the 5 dollars out of his wallet and they leave.

    Holden is in his hotel room and he thinks back to an incident with Allie just before his death. He remembers leaving out Allie from a BB gun game, which i still think he feels guilty about. He checks out of the hotel the next morning and makes a date with Sally Hayes, and leaves his bags in the Grand Central Station. He then forces two nuns to take his ten dollars as a charitable contribution which then he realizes he still has to pay for his date with Sally. He buys theater tickets for his date, to a play called "I Know My Love". Holden didn't seem to like the people at the play because he though they were full of themselves. Although Sally was flirting with another boy during admission, they still make it to go ice skating. The date did not end well with Holden leaving without her because she started to cry.

    Holden experiences yet another negative encounter when he is confronted by Maurice, who is Sunny's so-called pimp. He gets beat up when he refuses to pay the extra 5 dollars. Surviving on very little sleep, he looks to fill up his time in New York with the old friend Sally Hayes. This turns out to be disastrous for him as well as it ends with the two of them departing on bad terms. In these chapters as well as the ones before, he is always pretending to be older than his actual age. To me Holden seems to be thinking a lot about the people in his past and trying to reconnect to the world outside the Penceys.

    He makes plans with Sally Haynes within this section. And they do. After their date the two of them end on bad terms because of Holden being very harsh and cold towards Sally.

    In chapter 14, Holden gets beaten up by Maurice because Holden only payed Sunny, who is Maurice's prostitute, five dollars. When Holden met Maurice in the elevator, Maurice told Holden it was only five for a throw but now Maurice is changing it and saying he said ten not five and he made sure he got another five from Holden. I probably would have refused to give Maurice an extra five too, but if it came to the point where I was going to get beaten up, I'd just hand over the five bucks. Holden's very stubborn. The next morning, Holden called up Sally Hayes to see if she'd like to meet up with him. They ended up making plans to go see a movie at 2 and for her to meet him at the Biltmore. When he got off the phone, he checked out of his hotel, and took a cab to the Grand Central Station which was right by the Biltmore where he was meeting Sally. He put his bags into one of those boxes at the station then he went out for breakfast at a little sandwich bar. At breakfast he meets two nuns. After breakfast, Holden goes and buys pheobe a record and then he goes to the a movie with Sally.
