dime a dozen . . . .
in this scene, biff finally confonts his farther about his lack of success and the fact that he was trying to commit suicide. willy of course denies that, he then tries to walk away but biff attacks him and makes him sit and listen. he then tells his father that he is nothing special that both willy and himself were a dime a dozen. willy denies this as well. he shouts that he is "willy loman", meaning he is an individual.
this scene is dramatically significant because it is here that the audiance sees that biff realizes that the dream he was working for was nothing. he realizes that his father has caused him to be a fool; filled his head with hot air.
i believe this is the point where both willy and biff come to a bit of an epiphany. biff realizes he is fighting for something worthless and willy realizes he has lost the respect of his son.
