Manufacturers offer me a hundred-dollar bill now and then to throw an order their way. You know how honest I am, but it’s like this girl, see. I hate myself for it. Because I don’t want the girl, and still, I take it and – I love it!
– Arthur Miller
Death of a Salesman, Act 1. As Happy chats to brother Biff in their old bedroom in their parents’ house, he brags about taking bribes from manufacturers. Even though it could be a career ending move for him, he is proud of his opportunistic and immoral behavior. A womanizer, he likens his selfish ways in the workplace to taking advantage of available women for his sexual gratification.
