Quotes 

• Justine : They call you Tom?

  Holden : It's my slave name.

• Holden : You know, sometimes I think to myself: At least it can't get any worse. But it can! It can get worse! As long as you can say you hit rock bottom, you haven't.

• Justine : Whatcha readin'?

  Holden : Catcher in the Rye... I'm named after it.

  Justine : What's your name?

  [Holden stares at her blankly] 

  Justine : Catcher?

• Holden : [in a letter to Justine]  Dear Justine, because of you I will be quitting the Retail Rodeo. The last two days have been the most God awful of my life. I've not been able to get rid of you in my head. I've never wanted anything so bad and I have wanted many things. I'd given up long ago on being gotten by someone else, and then you came along. The idea that I could be gotten because of circumstantial never get got is the worst feeling I've ever felt and I have felt many bad feelings. I'm sorry I can never see you again, Justine. Forgive me for being so weak, but that is who I am. Goodbye. Holden Worther. If, for some reason, you could change your mind and wanna be with me body and soul, meet me after work. I will be waiting for you at 5pm outside Chunky Cheese. If you are not there at five you will never see me again in your lifetime.

• Justine : [sniffling]  I can't do it.

  Holden : We'll be back here before you know it.

  Justine : I don't wanna... I don't wanna go.

  Holden : Justine

  [Justine turns to look at Holden] 

  Holden : I'm yours I'm all yours

  [she kisses Holden passionately and they put there arms around each other] 

• Justine : Holden - calm down! Alright?

  Holden : I can't calm down! Easy if I was a hooker like you then I'd calm down all over town!

• Justine : What are we doing here?

  Holden : Makin' one outta two.

• Holden : You're a hooker, you hooker.

• Holden : If I could only get my hands on some money. If someone could just tell me the answer. I gotta do! But I don't ever do anything 'cos I end up thinking about it instead. I gotta do! But do what?

• Holden : I'm staring to think... That you don't get me.

  Justine : MAYBE I *don't* get you.

  Holden : YOU DO. YOU DO GET ME, YOU JUST DON'T WANNA GET ME BECAUSE I AM TOO INTENSIFIED FOR YOU.
