Get out of here, both of you, and don’t come back! I don’t want you tormenting him any more. Go on now, get your things together! (To Biff.) You can sleep in his apartment. (She starts to pick up the flowers and stops herself.) Pick up this stuff, I’m not your maid any more. Pick it up, you bum, you!
– Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman, Act 2. Family relations reach a new low at the Loman household when Linda orders her sons out of the house. She is angry and hurt that Biff and Happy took their father to a restaurant for dinner the previous night but left him to run off with two girls. Linda the peacemaker abandons her normally calm and cheerful disposition to express outrage and even call Biff a bum.
