Biff telling his son about Willy.
Well son, your grandpa was a complicated man. He was a man with a lot of pride, and he worked hard all his life to try to give me and your Uncle Happy the best. Growing up he was gone a lot, he was a traveling salesman you see, so he wasn't home very much. When he was home though, he was always talking about how proud he was of us. We would help him and Mom out with chores, and he seemed to always like that. As he got older though, it was harder and harder to be around him. I don't know where he went so wrong. I guess I shouldn't bother you with all that, but what's important is that he was a proud man, and he loved what he did. Have I ever told you how proud of you I am? I hope you know that, Grandpa seemed to forget how proud he was of me as he got older. I hope I never put you through what I went through. I still loved him though. He was my pop, just like I'm your pop. You will do good in life, I can tell. No get going on that Chevy, remember how I showed you?
It's sort of sweet that the activity of kids "simonizing" the car carries on to the next generation :)
