Well, Bill Oliver – very big sporting-goods man – he wants Biff very badly. Called him in from the West. Long distance, carte blanche, special deliveries. Your friends have their own private tennis court?
– Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman, Act 2. Willy tries to impress Bernard, when he asks what kind of big deal Biff is working on. Instead of telling it like it is, Willy fabricates a story about Biff being such a success that Bill Oliver wants to go into business with him.
