"i keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. thousands of little kids, and nobody's around-nobody big i mean- except me. and i'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. what i have to do, i have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff--i mean if they are running and they don't know where they're going i have to come out from somewhere and catch them. that's all i'd do all day. i'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. i know it's crazy but that is the only thing i'd really like to be."
