Mom!
Mom! Help me.
What is it?
I wasn't dreaming, Walt.
I didn't imagine it.
I heard him. I heard him. I heard him.
I heard Chris.
- I heard him!
- I know.
No. I wasn't imagining it, Walt.
No, I did. He's... He's...
- I heard him!
- Billie.
That's about as far as I can get you.
All right. Thank you.
- You left all your shit on my dash.
- Keep it.
Suit yourself.
Thanks again.
Hey, hold on a minute.
Here, take these.
They'll keep your feet dry.
If you make it out alive, give me a call.
My number's inside the boots.
Thanks.
Hello?
Is there anybody here?
Guess not!
Two years he walks the earth.
No phone, no pool, no pets,
no cigarettes.
Ultimate freedom.
An extremist. An aesthetic voyager
whose home is the road.
"Hey, listen, old man.
Now, don't psychoanalyze me, all right?
"Shut up.
I'm taking you out to where we're going."
"Where you going?"
"I told you. We're going nowhere!"
So now, after two rambling years
comes the final and greatest adventure.
The climactic battle to kill
the false being within
and victoriously conclude
the spiritual revolution.
No longer to be poisoned
by civilization, he flees,
and walks alone
upon the land to become
lost in the wild.
... hard work and manifold contributions
to our community during their time here,
we salute you and offer all of you
one more round of applause
and congratulations.
Nina Lynn Lockwynn.
Vanessa Denise Lowery.
Christopher Johnson McCandless.
Regina Victoria McNabb.
I see them standing at the formal gates
of their colleges.
I see my father strolling out
under the ochre sandstone arch,
the red tiles glinting like bent plates
of blood behind his head.
I see my mother
with a few light books at her hip,
standing at the pillar made of tiny
bricks with the wrought-iron gates
still open behind her,
its sword-tips black in the May air.
They are about to graduate.
They are about to get married.
They are kids. They are dumb.
All they know is they are innocent,
they would never hurt anybody.
I want to go up to them and say,
"Stop, don't do it.
"She's the wrong woman,
he's the wrong man.
"You are going to do things
you cannot imagine you would ever do.
"You are going to do bad things
to children.
"You are going to suffer
in ways you never heard of.
"You are going to want to die."
I want to go up to them there
in the late May sunlight and say it.
But I don't do it. I want to live.
I take them up like the male and female
paper dolls, and bang them together
at the hips like chips of flint, as if
to strike sparks from them. I say,
"Do what you are going to do
and I will tell about it."
Here they are, Walt. Okay?
Who wrote that?
Well, could have been either one of us,
couldn't it?
Why is he letting Carine drive his car?
There's a lot of great poems in here.
I have to speak to her about it.
Sit down.
Excuse me. I'm going to get my son.
He just graduated today
from Emory College.
I'll get it. I'll get it.
Chris, hi!
We've been waiting and waiting.
You scared me half to death
jumping up there on that stage like that.
- Hi, Dad.
- Congratulations, Son.
- This is a big step.
- Thank you, Dad.
All right.
You're not supposed to be driving
in Georgia.
Why? I have my permit.
'Cause it's against the law
for a learner's permit
to drive in another state
from one's home state. That's why.
I didn't know that. I thought that if I was
with a legal driver that it'd be okay.
Well, let's...
- Are they going to continue?
- No.
I guess everybody's celebrating today.
- They're going to stay in the bar, right?
- That's right.
My grades are good enough, I think,
to get into Harvard Law.
Chris, that's wonderful.
That is a big deal.
How much do you have left
in the college fund?
Exactly $24,500.68.
Well, that's specific.
I had to go to the bank
this morning, Mom.
Your mother and I will be glad
to contribute the balance for Harvard.
That's right.
I've got to figure out
what I'm going to do.
I've got a lot of things
to pack and organize here first.
Your father and I,
we want to make a present to you.
We want to get you out of that junker.
What junker?
That.
- We want to buy you a new car.
- That's right.
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?
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.
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.
- Okay.
- These things, things, things, things.
- Okay.
- Everything has to be difficult.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Maybe that's not what he means.
Maybe he just wants his old car.
It's not such a big deal.
Thank you. I just don't want anything.
Chris measured himself
and those around him
by a fiercely rigorous moral code.
Bye, Chris!
He risked what could have been
a relentlessly lonely path
but found company
in the characters of the books he loved
from writers like Tolstoy,
Jack London and Thoreau.
He could summon their words
to suit any occasion,
and he often would.
I forgot to ask what quote he'd have
picked for his graduation dinner,
but I had a good idea
of who the primary target would be.
It was inevitable
that Chris would break away.
And when he did, he would do it
with characteristic immoderation.
"It should not be denied that being
footloose has always exhilarated us.
"It is associated in our minds
with escape
"from history and oppression and law
and irksome obligations.
"Absolute freedom.
"And the road has always led west."
I need a name.
Toward the end of June,
Emory had mailed our parents
Chris' final grade report.
Almost all A's.
A in Apartheid in South African Society.
A- minus in Contemporary African
Politics and the Food Crisis in Africa.
And on it went. Clever boy, my brother.
But by the end of July,
we hadn't heard anything from him
and my parents
were becoming unsettled.
Chris had never had a phone,
so they decided to drive down
to Atlanta and surprise him.
When they arrived at the apartment,
there was a "For Rent" sign up
and the manager said that Chris
had moved out at the end of May.
Oh, yes. He left two months ago.
So when they got home,
I had to hand them all the letters that
they had sent Chris that summer,
which had been returned in a bundle.
Chris had arranged for the post office
to hold them until August 1st,
to buy himself some time.
Did you know about this?
He didn't say anything.
I understood what he was doing.
That he had spent four years
fulfilling the absurd and tedious duty
of graduating from college,
and now he was emancipated
from that world of abstraction,
false security, parents
and material excess,
the things that cut Chris off
from the truth of his existence.
Hey!
- Hey, man. Step around. Jump in.
- Okay, great.
We barely saw you there
underneath that crazy hat of yours.
This door's a little tricky.
There you go. Hop in.
That's Rainey.
- Hi, Rainey.
- Yeah, I'm Rainey.
- I'm Jan.
- Hi. I'm Alex.
Alex with the hat on.
- Yeah, I know. You said it, man.
- Yeah.
So you're a leather now.
I'm a leather?
Yeah, a leather tramp. That's what they
call the ones that hoof it, go on foot.
Technically we're rubber tramps.
Because we have a vehicle.
