A scene from Into the Wild 2007
Billie

Your father and I, we want to make a present to you.

Walt

We want to get you out of that junker.

Chris

What junker?

Billie

[points at Chris' car]

That.

Walt

We want to buy you a new car.

Billie

That's right.

Chris

A new car? Why would I want a new car? Datsun runs great. Do you think I want some fancy boat? Are you worried what the neighbors might think?

Billie

Well, we weren't gonna get you a brand new Cadillac, Chris. We just want to get you a nice new car that's safe to drive. And you never know when that thing out there just might blow up.

Chris

Blow up! Blow up? Are you guys crazy? It's a great car. I don't need a new car. I don't want a new car. I don't want anything.

Billie

Okay.

Chris

These things, things, things, things.

Billie

Okay.

Walt

[to Billie]

Everything has to be difficult.

Chris

Thank you.

Walt

[sarcastically]

Thank you.

Billie

Maybe that's not what he means. Maybe he just wants his old car. It's not such a big deal.

Chris

Thank you. I just don't want anything.
