The story so far Everything you need before watching 中文 EN
The party is still roaring when Tom starts hunting for Daisy downstairs. Upstairs she tells Gatsby she wants to run away; he refuses—that would not be respectable—and says it is time to tell Tom. A phone call finds Nick: they are having a row, supposedly about the future. Gatsby is pulled away to a business dispute, Daisy waits, and Tom, already suspicious, decides he will make a point of finding out who this host really is.
