  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    don’t say »Gee«. »Gee« is a boy’s word. A man walking

    in for fifteen thousand dollars does not say »Gee!«
  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    Don’t be so modest. You always started too low. Walk in

    with a big laugh. Don’t look worried. Start off with a couple of

    your good stones to lighten things up. It’s not what you say,

    it’s how you say it — because personality always wins the day.

    HAPPY (grabbing Biff, shouts): Wait a minute! I got an idea. I got

    a feasible idea. Come here, Biff, let’s talk this over now, let’s

    talk some sense here. When I was down in Florida last time, I

    thought of a great idea to sell sporting goods. It just came back

    to me. You and I, Biff — we have a line, the Loman Line. We

    train a couple of weeks, and put on a couple of exhibitions, see?

    WILLY: That’s an idea!

    HAPPY: Wait! We form two basketball teams, see? Two waterpolo

    teams. We play each other. It’s a million dollars’ worth of

    publicity. Two brothers, see? The Loman Brothers. Displays in

    the Royal Palms — all the hotels. And banners over the ring

    and the basketball court: »Loman Brothers«. Baby, we could

    sell sporting goods!

    And the beauty of it is, Biff, it wouldn’t be like a business.

    We’d be out playin’ ball again...
  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    Million-dollar...

    HAPPY: And you wouldn’t get fed up with it, Biff. It’d be the family

    again. There’d be the old honor, and comradeship, and if

    you wanted to go off for a swim or somethin’ — well, you’d do

    it! Without some smart cooky gettin’ up ahead of you!

    DA: Hap, Hap.

    BIFF: I don’t care what they think! They’ve laughed at Dad for

    years, and you know why? Because we don’t belong in this

    nuthouse of a city! We should be mixing cement on some open

    plain or — or carpenters. A carpenter is allowed to whistle!
  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    WILLY: Go back to the West! Be a carpenter, a cowboy, enjoy

    yourself!
  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    I tell you he put his

    whole life into you and you’ve turned your backs on him.
  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    HAPPY: Sure you will. The trouble with you in business was you

    never tried to please people.

    BIFF: I know, I...

    HAPPY: Like when you worked for Harrison’s. Bob Harrison said

    you were tops, and then you go and do some damn fool thing

    like whistling whole songs in the elevator like a comedian.

    BIFF (against Happy): So what? I like to whistle sometimes
  • Elena Puzikovahas quoted5 years ago
    tell you something that I hate so say, Biff, but in the

    business world some of them think you’re crazy.
