That’s just the spirit I want to imbue them with! To walk into a jungle! I was right! I was right! I was right! bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156535174 2017-02-27 19:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156535174 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156536653 2017-02-27 19:24:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156536653 WILLY [with pity and resolve]: I’ll see him in the morning; I’ll have a nice talk with him. 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.] bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156537216 2017-02-27 19:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156537216 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156539137 2017-02-27 19:30:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156539137 WILLY [turning to Ben]: Business is bad, it’s murderous.

[To Biff] Coach’ll probably congratulate you on your initiative!BIFF: Oh, he keeps congratulating my initiative all the time, pop. WILLY: That’s because he likes you. If somebody else took that ball there’d be an uproar. So what’s the report, boys, what’s the report? bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156540378 2017-02-27 19:34:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156540378 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156540865 2017-02-27 19:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156540865 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156541384 2017-02-27 19:36:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156541384 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! bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156541713 2017-02-27 19:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156541713 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156542066 2017-02-27 19:38:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156542066 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156542639 2017-02-27 19:40:18 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156542639 BIFF [with enthusiasm]: Listen, why don’t you come out West with me? HAPPY: You and I, heh?BIFF: Sure, maybe we could buy a ranch. Raise cattle, use our muscles. Men built like we are should be working out in the open. bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156544928 2017-02-27 19:46:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156544928 HAPPY [enthralled]: That’s what I dream about Biff. Sometimes I wanna just rip my clothes off in the middle of the store and outbox that goddamned merchandise manager. I mean I can outbox, outlift and outrun anybody in that store, and I have to take orders from those petty, common sons of bitches till I can’t stand it anymore. bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156545650 2017-02-27 19:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156545650 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156546278 2017-02-27 19:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156546278 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. bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156548507 2017-02-27 19:56:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156548507 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156548800 2017-02-27 19:57:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156548800 LINDA: I’m—I’m ashamed to. How can I mention it to him? Every day I go down and take away that little rubber pipe. But when he comes home, I put it back where it was. How can I insult him that way? I don’t know what to do. I live from day to day boys. I tell you, I know every thought in his mind. It sounds so old-fashioned and silly, but I tell you he’s put his whole life into you and you’ve turned your backs on him. [She is bent over the chair, weeping, her head in her hands] Biff, I swear to God! Biff, his life is in your hands! bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156846387 2017-02-28 19:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156846387 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156847497 2017-02-28 19:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156847497 WILLY: There’s more people! 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? bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156847886 2017-02-28 19:43:36 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156847886 bell_jed91 https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156848313 2017-02-28 19:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bell_jed91/u8w8dn4me5us/wish/156848313 WILLY: You and Hap and I, and I’ll show you all the towns. America is full of beautiful towns and fine, upstanding people. And they know me, boys, they know me up and down New England. The finest people. And when I bring you fellas up, there’ll be open sesame for all of us, 'cause one thing, boys: I have friends. I can park my car in any street in New England, and the cops protect it like their own.
