Later in the evening, Willy remembers a happier time when his sons were teenagers, remembering Biff going out to a football match and cleaning his car. They make grand plans to set up a business together. Happy claims he is successful in his retail job in New York, whereas Biff, who works in the west as a farmhand, feels his life is getting nowhere. The Loman brothers Linda's two sons, Biff and Happy, have come home. Seeing that her husband is no longer able to travel, Linda suggests that Willy ask his boss, Howard, to let him work in the office in New York rather than travel. His devoted wife Linda worries about him, fearing he has crashed his car. In the opening scene, he returns late at night, from a failed business trip. Willy Loman is a travelling salesman, nearing retirement.
