Evening Confrontation with Parents and Gang

Alex wakes up late and has a tense dinner with his parents. His father expresses concern about his nighttime activities, but Alex dismisses him. He then meets his droogs, who have come to his flatblock. Georgie challenges Alex's leadership, proposing a more ambitious robbery. Alex asserts his dominance by cutting Georgie's hand with his britva and slashing Dim's wrist. The gang is subdued, and Georgie reveals his plan to rob the house of a wealthy old woman in Oldtown. Alex agrees to lead the robbery, but the power struggle within the gang is unresolved. This scene marks the beginning of the end for Alex's leadership, as his droogs' resentment grows.
