Catcher: Responding to a Quote

Respond to the following quote.  What is Holden talking about in this quote?  What does it reveal about him as a character and about larger themes or ideas in the book so far?

"I said no, there wouldn't be marvelous places to go after I went to college and all.  Open your ears.  It'd be entirely different.  We'd have to go downstairs in elevators with suitcases and stuff.  We'd haev to phone up everybody and tell'em goodbye and send'em postcards from hotels and all" (133).
