the scene you're referring to is near the end of Act I, and it is not a flashback-- Happy has just come up with his 'brilliant' idea to sell sporting goods (they'll form opposing teams and play against one another... despite not actually having a product to SELL).
Willy is so excited about the prospect of the boys finally being bigger than Bernard and Charley, and he feels important because he can offer them advice on business, believing himself to be such a big shot.
Linda's interjections are bulldozed, as you say, and I think the other aspect of it is that he finally feels important and he can actually offer advice to which Biff will listen.
Powerfully sad scene... I bet Dennehy was every bit as amazing as everyone says. |
