- I want to stay here. You can stop counting.
- One, Two. ... Three. Four. ... Five. Six...
- Guy Reads With His Wife (Mildred)
- 'It is computed that eleven thousand persons have at several times suffered death rather than submit to break their eggs at the smaller end. '
- What does it mean? It doesn't mean anything! The Captain was right!
- Guy Montag encounters a strange teenage girl named Clarisse McClellan, with whom he walks and talks for a week before she vanishes. She tells him that firemen used to put out flames rather than set them in order to burn contraband. He later learns that she died.
- Guy Seeks Help From Faber
- Montag's crew, led by Captain Beatty, attend to a call to a woman's house. The old woman chooses to burn with her books in order to protest the practice of book burning. This obviously has a detrimental effect on Montag, as he calls in sick the following morning, overcome with guilt and shame. It is also here in the novel when Guy Montag steals one book from the woman's vast collection.
- Montag Reads A Poem To Mildred's Friends
- Montag admits to Mildred that he has a small collection of books. He invites her to join him in reading. Montag dives in and begins reading his collection of approximately twenty books. He is confused and overwhelmed by the significance of the passages he reads. Mildred argues that books aren't people, and that her family is far superior. Montag begins to piece together details; he recognizes how awful his society is and that literature may help.
- Guy Montag Gets Caught
- Montag calls Faber, a retired English professor, Faber, whom he met in a park, where they discussed poetry and the meaning of things. However, he refuses to speak to Montag over the phone so Montag pays him a visit. Montag convinces Faber to help him frame firemen as readers, and Faber agrees to assist Montag to comprehend books. Faber gives Montag a two-way earpiece called a green bullet, so he may listen to Montag's interactions and read to him. This shows Montag's progress in becoming a moral rebel.
- Fiddling with my electronics, radio transmission, has been my hobby. My cowardice is such a passion, complementing the revolutionary spirit that lives in its shadow, I was forced to design this.
- When Montag arrives home he interrupts Mildred and her friends' TV show as he unplugs the TV and starts a conversation with them about the coming war which later transitions to death, children, and politics. Montag's frustration intensifies, and begins to read an excerpt called Dover Beach (which makes Mrs. Phelps begin to cry), in an attempt to enlighten these women about the awful truth of their society.
- ... Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor lightNor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight, Where ignorant armies clash by night.
- When Montag returns to work with Faber listening in, he gives Beatty a book, and he nonchalantly tosses it into the incinerator. Then, Beatty begins describing a dream where he and Montag debate about books. Beatty finishes his rant, and Faber attempts to console Montag, but the alarm interrupts. The men attend to the call, with Captain Beatty driving, and they stop in front of Montag's home. Slowly, Montag acknowledges this and he seems to be in disbelief.
- Beatty was watching his face. 'Something the matter, Montag?' 'Why,' said Montag slowly, 'we've stopped in front of my house.'
