The story which you will see tonight, is the kind of story that you will tell to your grandchild like legends from the past. You know this family, but it's been a while since we saw them around the city, what have they became ? How do they live after the suicide of Willy ? Did Happy get married ? Is Biff is still working on a farm in the middle of the west ? That is the questions ! Today is 24 march 1954, the sun is bright over the big apple, the winter came to an end, central park was greener than ever, and the hudson was like the sky during the summer days. Along the coast, around long island, a couple of years ago, a big house took place and was built with a big garden in front of the ocean, and when you come in front of this house, there is written, Kevinson...

Linda was in the backyard she seem older, she got white hairs, she bacame very thin, suddenly, she heard the phone ringing, she ran to the house.

Linda: Hello ther ?

Biff: Hi Linda ! This is Biff how are you doing ?

Linda: Oh my gosh ! Biff ! Is that you ? It's been while since I heard your voice, I am doing well, I am now living in Long Island with a wonderful guy, his name is Bob-jason !

Biff: Wait what ? You are living in Long-island ?! Sweet Jesus ! This is unbelievable ! Who is this guy ? Bob-jason, right ? Happy didn't told everything since we fight at the funeral, it was five years ago or somethin' The time is out of control.

Linda: Yes I know, this is very sad my dear, well Happy came in New-York after the death of you father, he stayed there for a couple of months, I don't know exactly what he was doing there, but he looked better, then he moved to Washington with Bernard, a big deal he said, remember Bernard ? Well now he is the governor of Massachusetts, and he took Billy under his wing, and now Billy is the Mayor of Boston ! Can you believe it ? He got elected 6 months ago, with the help of Bernard of course ! He is very respected up there, Bernard invited me two years ago to his hous in DC, big, big house. Your father won't believe it if he were ther, and there I met Bob-jason, he was Bernard's mentor and he is a lawyer at the supreme court. But enough dear, I want to know, how are you doing ? And where are you ? Are you still Colorado in this farm ?

Biff (with a bit of hesitation) Hum, yes but things weren't that great for me for the last five years, I started to drink, and you know, I changed, I worked on different farms, but I didn't did anything special I even joined the army but that was bullshit, now I think I will go to New-York for vacation maybe next month, this is why I called, I wanted to know if Happy was okay if I could stay for a cople of days in your house.

Linda: Oh my dear, this is very sad, but of course you can come here, Happy and Bob-jason will be here tonight for the weekend, I am sure that he forget you, don't worry. But you know he tried to called you for months, he had plans for you, he could help you dear.

Biff: What ?!

Linda: Yes dear.

Biff: I guess I was too upset to talk to him, my gosh, what an idiot !

Linda: Don't worry sweetheart, can you come here this week-end ?

Biff: I don't have enough money to get a train ticket that fast, Linda.

Linda: Oh don't worry dear, we will pay you a ticket for a flight to New-York with the TWA, Bob-Jason know some people there. I gotta go ! I'll send you your ticket by tomorrow, bye dear !

Biff: Thank you...

Biff didn't know what to think, he sent his adress to Linda, it was about 40 minutes out of Denver, the adress was 14654 Montview Blvd Aurora, Colorado 8011, next morning he received his plane ticket, to New-York City la guardia airport, aboard an Lockheed L-1049 Super Constellation, in first class with the TWA. He didn't believed it was his ticket, maybe someone made a mistake, but no, it was his name it was the ticket of Biff Loman. The flight was for the afternoon, around five thirty, he went to the airport, he looked at the airport like he discovered a new world, the flight was about four hours, he arrived over New-York in the middle of the night with thousands of lights over the city, the city changed a lot in five years, he landed and when he went out of the airport he saw a big car with an old driver with a pancart which says, Biff Loman. He walked to him and asked him who he was. The driver just respond that he was send by Linda Kevinson, the driver opened the door and Biff went in with hesitation, but he quickly fall asleep, rocked by the road and by the city lights. The trip was about forty three miles to the house of Linda and Bob-jason, after a hour of road, he woke up, and when he opened his eyes he was in the front of the big house of Linda, he walked out of the car like a child after a long night of dreams. Linda, Bob-Jason and Happy were waiting for him in front of the house.

Linda: There you are dear ! How was your trip ?

Biff: It was very interesting, I never thought I will fly one day, about that, I will pay the ticket next month.

Bon-Jason: Don't worry about that, kid ! All the pleasure is for us, Linda and Happy talked a lot to me about you. But let's get into this house, geez, it's freezing here!

Happy: Bob, it's only 62℉, you kidding !

Bob-Jason: I'll tell you, better t be in Florida at this time of the year !

Happy: Jesus... Anyway we have a guest, Biff ? How long it has been since we saw each other ?
