We've decided that your birthday present will be a car, said Marion.Danny was touched. But the thing I can't figure out is, why would I need a new car?You can't very well gate a girl to the movies, Danny, Leslie replied.I think you're overlooking the biggest point here, said Danny. I don't need a CAR so I can date. I need a GIRL.

In "The Lost Gate," Marion reveals to Danny that for his birthday, they are getting him a car, which he finds touching. However, Danny questions the necessity of the gift, suggesting that it does not address his true desire. His friends, particularly Leslie, argue that having a car would help him take a girl out on dates.

Despite their reasoning, Danny emphasizes that his priority is not a car, but rather he longs for a relationship. He expresses that he's looking for a connection with a girl, indicating that the car won't solve his underlying desire for companionship. This highlights his yearning for meaningful interactions rather than material possessions.
