Willy is upset because Biff wants to be a farmer and not a salesman which would be a better career because he believes it would lead to financial stability and that Biff is not living up to his full potential.
Be a salesman like me. Farming is for schmucks! It doesn't pay the bills. How are you going to raise a family?
Farming makes me happy, I’m not you. It brings me joy and inspires me.
Biff feels that his father is overbearing and unreasonable, but is starting to realize Willy is well intentioned and only wants the best for his son.
STOP PUSHING ME! I don’t have your expertise and personality to be a competent traveling salesman.
Son I believe in you, you need to believe in yourself too! We all have to start somewhere.
Biff recognizes in order to gain his fathers approval and respect, he needs to give the salesman job a chance, although he still has an internal struggle if this is the right decision.
Your support means everything to me and I know I need to earn a living. How bout this, I'll ask Bill Oliver for funds to start my company in sporting sales.
You’re finally seeing what I see, the true American dream. I am so proud.
