The first half of the play was strictly focused on the robbery that occured. The second act and half of the book is focused on looking into the robbery. The whole play is really focused on men arguing and making sales for the better of the company. The arguing and anger that is present is really intense though and I don't exactly enjoy reading it. I feel like Roma is just looking for fights and doesn't care to get along with anyone in his office. One quote I felt that had a lot of importance to the play was said by Roma, "I swear it's not a world of men it's not a world of men, Machine it's a world of clock watchers, bureaucrats, officeholders what it is, it's a fucked up world there's no adventure to it. (Pause.) Dying breed. Yes it is. (Pause.) We are the members of a dying breed." This quote means that the "men" of the play are a dying breed because no one is doing meaningful things like those salesmen. He feels that the people in high positions aren't doing anything especially when he refers to clockwatchers and and officeholders in the same sentence.
