This is the second in a series of papers devoted to open string field theory in two dimensions. In this paper we aim to clarify the origin and the role of discrete physical states in the theory. To this end, we study interactions of discrete states and generic tachyons. In particular, we discuss at length four point amplitudes. We show that behavior of the correlation functions is governed by the number of generic tachyons involved and values of the kinematic invariants $s$, $t$ and $u$. Divergence of certain classes of correlators is shown to be the consequence of the fact certain kinematic invariants are non--positive integers in that case. Explicit examples are included. We check our results by standard conformal technique.
