LINDER: Well, now we’ve been having a fine conversation. I hope you’ll hear me all the way through.
WALTER (tightly): Go ahead, man.
LINDER: You see- in the face of all the things I have said, we are prepared to make your family a very generous offer. . .
BENEATHA: Thirty pieces and not a coin less!
WALTER: Yeah?
LINDER (putting on his glasses and drawing a from out of the briefcase): Our association is prepared, through the collective effort of our people, to buy the house from you at a financial gain to your family.
RUTH: Lord have mercy, ain’t this the living gall!
WALTER: All right, you through?
This scene presents two conflicts and worries for the Youngers and their future.

Mr. Lindner’s comments do not intimidate the members of the Younger family. Rather, they seem to expect the conflict.
