plays according to the rules.”
“Yes, sir. I know it is. I know it.”
Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the
side where all the hot-shots are, then it’s a
game, all right—I’ll admit that. But if you get
on the other side, where there aren’t any hot-
shots, then what’s a game about it? Nothing.
No game.

clear mind thinking on it. But it’s the truth
even if it didn’t happen.

cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch
everybody if they start to go over the cliff
—I mean if they’re running and they

come out from somewhere and catch
them. That’s all I’d do all day. I’d just be
the catcher in the rye and all.

seen it
