== Summary ==
Charlie recalls his final, 90-minute meeting in New York City with his father, an alcoholic, who is unnamed. Charlie describes himself as a boy, but we do not get his exact age. The boy hopes to reconnect with his father because he has not seen him for three years, but he slowly comes to the realization of his father's obvious character flaws, which are centered on his poor treatment of service workers and his abuse of alcohol. Although the father orders one "Gibson Beefeater" for himself and one for his son at the restaurants, the reader is left to assume that the father drinks both because of the worsening of his speech and behavior. After four progressively more abusive exchanges with waiters and a fifth with a newspaper stand seller, the boy leaves his father with a curt goodbye, leaving the reader to assume he has decided never to meet his father again.
