Back at the bookstore, Huck is having none of it. He's back in the big city, and he can't wait to get back to his parents and sister's house in Tong City. Huck tells his father and sister that he's just like them, and that they're going to have to pay for his food and shelter if he wants to stay in the city. He tells his sister that if he doesn't come home tonight, she'll know what his slap feels like.
