That’s what’s ruining this country! The competition is maddening! Smell the stink from that apartment house! And the one on the other side… How can they whip cheese? (Act 1) widenmaierryland https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156543377 2017-02-27 19:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156543377 BIFF: Why? You’re making money, aren’t you? HAPPY [moving about with energy, expressiveness]: All I can do now is wait for the merchandise manager to die. And suppose I get to be merchandise manager? He’s a good friend of mine, and he just built a terrific estate on Long Island. And he lived there about two months and sold it, and now he’s building another one. He can’t enjoy it once it’s finished. And I know that’s just what I’d do. I don’t know what the hell I’m workin’ for. Sometimes I sit in my apartment—all alone. And I think of the rent I’m paying. And it’s crazy. But then, it’s what I always wanted. My own apartment, a car, plenty of women, and still, goddamnit, I’m lonely.

Talk to them again. There’s no reason why you can’t work in New York. WILLY: They don’t need me in New York. I’m the New England man. I’m vital in New England. (Act 1) widenmaierryland https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156544145 2017-02-27 19:44:06 UTC https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156544145 WILLY: How can he find himself on a farm? Is that a life? A farmhand? In the beginning, when he was young, I thought, well, a young man, it’s good for him to tramp around, take a lot of different jobs. But it’s more than ten years now and he has yet to make thirty-five dollars a week! LINDA: He’s finding himself, Willy. WILLY: Not finding yourself at the age of thirty-four is a disgrace! (Act 1) widenmaierryland https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156544335 2017-02-27 19:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156544335 LINDA: We should’ve bought the land next door. WILLY: The street is lined with cars. There’s not a breath of fresh air in the neighborhood. The grass don’t grow anymore, you can’t raise a carrot in the backyard. They should’ve had a law against apartment houses. Remember those two beautiful elm trees out there? When I and Biff hung the swing between them? LINDA: Yeah, like being a million miles from the city.

Please tell about Dad. I want my boys to hear. I want them to know the kind of stock they spring from. All I remember is a man with a big beard, and I was in Mamma’s lap, sitting around a fire, and some kind of high music.

I’ll get him a job selling. He could be big in no time. My God! Remember how they used to follow him around in high school? When he smiled at one of them their faces lit up. When he walked down the street… [He loses himself in reminiscences.] (Act 1) widenmaierryland https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156545844 2017-02-27 19:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156545844 HAPPY: I bet he’d back you. 'Cause he thought highly of you, Biff. I mean, they all do. You’re well liked, Biff. That’s why I say to come back here, and we both have the apartment. And I’m tellin’ you, Biff, any babe you want… (Act 1) widenmaierryland https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156546100 2017-02-27 19:49:05 UTC https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156546100 widenmaierryland https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156546414 LINDA: He’ll find his way.

 WILLY: Sure. Certain men just don’t get started till later in life. Like Thomas Edison, I think. Or B.F. Goodrich. One of them was deaf. [He starts for the bedroom doorway.] I’ll put my money on Biff. (Act 1)]]> 2017-02-27 19:50:00 UTC https://padlet.com/widenmaierryland/b663m2bshiyg/wish/156546414 WILLY: Don’t say? Tell you a secret, boys. Don’t breathe it to a soul. Someday I’ll have my own business, and I’ll never have to leave home any more. HAPPY: Like Uncle Charley, heh? WILLY: Bigger than Uncle Charley! Because Charley is not liked. He’s liked, but he’s not—well liked.
