As Willy roots around in the kitchen, he is dimly lit while the apartments in the background fade away and the whole house is covered with leaves.
Flute music plays softly and sweetly.
He's no longer mumbling. His voice is loud like he's conversing with someone. Willy tells Biff and Hap that they did a good job polishing the Chevy. Young Biff and Hap walk onstage from the direction Willy was looking, and they ask for the surprise Willy had promised, which turns out to be a punching bag so they could improve their timing. Happy keeps asking if Willy has noticed that he's lost weight.
