Montag starts reading "Dover Beach" to Mildred, Mrs. Phelps, and Mrs. Bowles
"What good is this, what'll you prove?""Scare hell out of them, that's what, scare the living daylights out!"
"`The Sea of Faith Was once, too, at the full, and round earth's shore Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled. But now I only hear Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar, Retreating, to the breath Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear And naked shingles of the world."'
Reactions from Mildred, Mrs. Phelps, Mrs. Bowles, and Faber
"Fool, Montag, fool, fool, oh God you silly fool..."
"Sh, sh," said Mildred. "You're all right, Clara, now, Clara, snap out of it!Clara, what's wrong?"
"I-I,", sobbed Mrs. Phelps, "don't know, don't know, I just don't know, ohoh..."
Montag wants to start a conversation with Mildred and the others so Montag turns off the parlor walls and proceeds to start a conversation with them.
Montag heads to the fire house and gives Beatty the book
"`Who are a little wise, the best fools be.'Welcome back, Montag. I hope you'll be staying, with us, now that yourfever is done and your sickness over. Sit in for a hand of poker?"
"Let's talk.""How're your children, Mrs. Phelps?"
"You know I haven't any! No one in his right mind, the Good Lord knows; would have children!"
"God, what a pulse! I've got you going, have I, Montag. Jesus God, yourpulse sounds like the day after the war. Everything but sirens and bells!Shall I talk some more? I like your look of panic. Swahili, Indian, EnglishLit., I speak them all. A kind of excellent dumb discourse, Willie!"
Mrs. Phelps spots Montag's books and insists on Montag reading the book to them. Mrs. Bowles however hates poetry and almost leaves the house. Faber is against the idea of Montag reading the book to them and tries to warn him.
Beatty plays with Montag saying quotes and phrases trying to get something out of Montag
Montag's head whirled sickeningly. He felt beaten unmercifully on brow,eyes, nose, lips, chin, on shoulders, on upflailing arms. He wanted to yell,"No! shut up, you're confusing things, stop it!"
After reading the poetry, Mrs. Phelps cries and Mrs. Bowles is angry at Montag for reading it. Mrs. Bowles thinks that books and poetry are terrible because of all the sadness. Faber is in Montag's ear disappointed in him.
Montag and Beatty and the other firemen head in the Beetle for the next assignment
I can't do it, he thought. How can I go at this new assignment, how can I goon burning things? I can't go in this place.
"You see? I knew it, that'swhat I wanted to prove! I knew it would happen! I've always said, poetryand tears, poetry and suicide and crying and awful feelings, poetry andsickness; all that mush! Now I've had it proved to me. You're nasty, Mr.Montag, you're nasty! "
"All right, Montag?""Something the matter, Montag?"
Montag decides to head to the fire house and finally gives a random book to Beatty instead of the book he found at the old woman's house. Beatty then tells Montag to join in poker.
Beatty says a couple of quotes and phrases in order to get the truth or something out of Montag. Faber is there helping Montag out trying to make sure the Montag doesn't do anything rash and to keep Montag calm.
Montag and Beatty are done with their talk and get in the beetle to head for the fireman's next assignment. Montag is however hesitant that he wants to continue with the job. However when they come to a stop they end up at Montag's house.
"Why," said Montag slowly, "we've stopped in front of my house."
