Matt Smania final

George: Hello Loman Brothers. How’re you both feeling today?

Biff: Well hello to you George Milton.

Happy: Hello George. It has been a few weeks since our father died but things are looking up.

George: That’s good to hear. How is your family doing financially without your father’s income?

Biff: I’ve been trying to get a job for weeks, but without my high school diploma I can’t get a job like my father wanted.

Happy: I still have my job but I haven’t gotten a raise or promotion in years. Luckily the old man’s insurance was enough to last us for a while. The house is paid off too.

George: Ah, well Biff why don’t you move out west like me and work on the land?

Biff: I would George, but I just steal my way out of every job I have. Plus it was my father’s dream to have me be somebody and be well liked in this city, not do manual-labor. I can’t let him down now.

Happy: Yah me and Biff gotta stay in the city and use the insurance money dad sacrificed himself for.

George: Oh Your father must have had big dreams for you boys. Me and my friend Lennie had some dreams not to long ago.

Happy: How did that work out for your George?

George: Well we was doing good. You see, we wanted to save up our money and buy some land just for ourselves. We went to a ranch and met an old man interested in our idea, wantin’ to stay with us if he gave us most of the money we’d need.

Biff: Well did your American dream come true.

George: No my friend Lennie got into some trouble and I had to cut ties with him. I thought me and him were gunna get there together.

Happy: Oh so did sharing that dream with him help you?

George: Yeah I’d say that we kept each other focused on the dream. I think that without Lennie I would’ve given up on that dream very long ago. Why do ya ask?

Biff: Well my father had dreams for us but he pushed us the wrong way.

Happy: My dad pushed Biff to become a football star but never emphasized grades.

Biff: Then I failed math and never graduated. I had scholarships ready but I failed.

George: Well what kind of dreams did you have when u were playing football.

Biff: Well I was feeling good, but when I realized what my dad was doing behind my mothers back I stopped believing in him and his dreams for me.

Happy: Me and biff don't believe in dreams now, we just work with what we have. Do you still believe in the American dream.

George:Even though mine has not completed, Lennie taught me that the dream cannot be found. He taught me that the dream cannot be reached but it gives you a destination. At the same time tho you only set that dream is for the road to the destination.

Biff: So you're saying that its more important to have the dream than it is to reach it?

George: Yah. well I have to go to the next farm.

Happy: Ok George thanks for the advice. Good bye.

Biff: Bye George
