Willy (to Charley): A man who cannot handle tools is not a man. You're disgusting.
Biff (to Happy): ...Maybe I oughta get married. Maybe I oughta get stuck into something. Maybe that's my trouble. I'm like a boy. I'm not married, I'm not in business, I just - I'm like a boy...
Ben: ...William, when I walked into the jungle, I was seventeen. When I walked out I was twenty-one. And by God, I was rich!
