LINDA:You shouldn't have criticised him,Willy,especially after he just got off the train.You mustn't lose your temper with him.

WILLY (worried and angered):There's such an undercurrent in him.He became a moody man.Did he apologize when I left this morning? LINDA:He was crestfallen,Willy.You know how he admires you. I think if he finds himself,then you'll both be happier and not fight any more. WILLY:How can he find himself on a farm?Is that a life?A farm- hand?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 dif- ferent jobs.But it's more than ten years now and he has yet to make thirty-five dollars a week!
