This is another example of Mamet's short and strong dialogue. But this scene also evokes Mamet's recurrent theme of man's powerlessness over his own destiny. Levene enters the scene exuberantly and confident, announcing his successful transaction. But he arrives in his office in the middle of a robbery investigation that causes the salesmen to turn against each other, clouding over his happy announcement. At the conclusion of Glengarry Glen Ross, Levene's clients turn out to be fakes, and his successful transaction just another fluke. Despite the strong, macho-man dialogue, not one of Mamet's characters really has control of their lives.
