That line, "sometimes. What I think is, you're supposed to leave" is the
last line of page 184 in my copy of Catcher. It's part of chapter 24, when
Holden is talking to Mr Antolini about "Digression!" The whole of both
sentences reads "I mean you can't help it sometimes. What I think is, you're
supposed to leave somebody alone if he's at least being interesting and he's
getting all excited about something."
The REALLY weird thing is, I have a "watermark" in my copy of Catcher too,
except mine reads "So long, and thanks for all the fish!"

Shandy,
good guess on the "watermark" thing. Does anyone know where/if in Catcher
the below text appears?
"sometimes. What I think is, you're supposed leave"
If you find it, thanks!
