  • Holden crossing the narrative threshold as he slips out of Pencey Prep night, shouting "Sleep tight, ya morons!" on the way out.
  • The end, when Holden realizes that he can't hold onto the freedom of childhood forever, and that he has to let Phoebe grow up, regardless of the inevitable onset of 'Phoniness'. Doubles as a Heartwarming Moment.
  • The Precision F-Strike in the final chapter, which still manages to be properly shocking even in an era where profanity in entertainment is far more accepted.
