In 'The Death of a Salesman,' Biff and Happy are talking about women and their dissatisfaction with their lives. Biff hates working for someone else, and Happy is stuck in his position until the person above him either dies or retires. Both dream about buying a ranch and working together.

Happy won't go out to the West with Biff because he wanted to be with his parents and Biff wanted to leave because Willy was annoying him with getting a job and having a life. Either son won't get married and settle down because they haven't started a business and they don't have enough money to settle alone.
Happy says that Oliver will help Biff because he believes that Oliver, a businessman in New York, will offer Biff a job due to his sales skills and charisma. Happy thinks that Biff can leverage his past connection with Oliver to secure employment, despite Biff's current uncertainties and struggles.
Biff and Happy, characters from Arthur Miller's play "Death of a Salesman," both objectify women and view them as objects of desire rather than as equals. They often use women to boost their own egos and satisfy their physical needs, without considering the women's feelings or desires. Their attitudes reflect a lack of respect for women and contribute to the overall portrayal of toxic masculinity in the play.
Happy doesn't go west with Biff because he is still deeply invested in his job and the pursuit of success in the city. He is caught up in the dream of achieving his own version of the American Dream, which contrasts with Biff's desire to escape and find a more authentic life. Happy also feels a sense of loyalty to his father's expectations and the illusion of success that their family has built, making it difficult for him to abandon that path.
In Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," Happy won't go out West with Biff because he is still tied to his father's dreams and the illusion of success that his father, Willy, represents. He feels a sense of obligation to stay and pursue the business opportunities in New York, despite their futility. Biff, on the other hand, refuses to stay in New York because he recognizes the emptiness of his father's ambitions and wants to break free from the oppressive expectations placed upon him. He seeks a more authentic life, which he believes can be found away from the shadow of Willy's dreams.
