‘Whenever you got a party, Mr Loman, you tell me and I’ll put you back here’
Stanley - he is treating Happy as Willy described being treated as a well-liked salesman, representing Happy’s continuation of the delusion
‘Big cattle man, my brother, so treat him right’
Happy - he is lying, as Biff is unsuccessful and only works on a farm
‘Strudel’s comin’
Happy - misogynistic way to refer to women, and objectifies them - shows similar attitudes to women as Willy
‘I sell champagne, and I’d like you to try my brand. Bring her a champagne, Stanley’
Happy - he is being pretentious and is lying, which reflects Willy
‘Didn’t remember who I was or anything’
Biff - he realises the lies he was fed and the false sense of pride he had
‘I realised what a ridiculous lie my whole life has been’
Biff - he is realising the true nature of his situation like Willy does, but it is not too late and he can still get what he wants out of life
‘Hap, I took his fountain pen’
Biff - we see him stealing again, as he did with the basket balls, demonstrating how imbued Willy’s attitudes are in Biff. However, here he is showing remorse, which could suggest a break from the tragic cycle
‘Say you got a lunch date with Oliver tomorrow’
happy - he is a lot like Willy in the sense that he is in denial and wants to lie about everything
‘Birnbaum flunked him!’
Bernard - the intrusion of reality into the delusion and the catalyst that sends Biff’s life spiralling downwards
