The answer is: it is about evolution.
Darwin himself characterized his seminal book, <em>On the origin of the species, </em>as “one long argument”. There is still debate as to what exactly did he mean by that characterization, but it is agreed upon that he evidently was referencing his theory of evolution based on common ancestry between species and natural selection as the process of differentiation between them, which, all in all, tells a story that took millions of years, or, in more poetic terms, it summarizes a very long argument.

This question refers to Chapter 17 of <em>The Catcher in the Rye</em>. In this story, Holden and Sally are a couple. However, it is clear that, although they share some sort of bond, the two are not deeply in love, and at times, do not even like each other. Nevertheless, Holden is eager to do something to change his life, and decides to ask Sally to run away with him.
Sally does not entertain this notion at all. However, she still listens to Holden's plan. He wants the two of them to run away immediately. He tells Sally that he has saved $180, and that, with that money, they can stay in the cabin camps for a while. Afterwards, he might get a job, they might get a house with a brook, or they might get married.
The plans are never particularly clear, and in the end, they do not amount to any concrete action.
