17. Hello.Copy !req
18. - Get out! Hurry!
- What? Who is that?Copy !req
19. - Get moving! For God's sake,
get out of there!Copy !req
20. Hello?Copy !req
21. Montag, here.Copy !req
22. Well... what sort
were these then, Montag?Copy !req
23. I didn't really look, sir.
A little bit of everything.Copy !req
24. - Novels, biographies, adventure stories.
- Oh, routine, eh?Copy !req
25. Why will they do it?
It's sheer perversity.Copy !req
26. - By the way...
- Pass it over.Copy !req
27. What does Montag do
with his day off duty?Copy !req
28. Not very much, sir.
Mow the lawn.Copy !req
29. And what if the law
forbids that?Copy !req
30. Just watch it grow, sir.Copy !req
31. Uh-huh.
Good.Copy !req
32. Good. Montag might be hearing
some exciting news in a day or two.Copy !req
33. Benedict won't be with us
very much longer...Copy !req
34. - and Montag's name
has been mentioned.
- Promotion, sir?Copy !req
35. I trust that the thought
makes Montag happy.Copy !req
36. I think we're neighbours.
I live near block 813.Copy !req
37. - Isn't that where you live?
- Yes, I do.Copy !req
38. Do you know we make the same trip
together almost every day?Copy !req
39. - Do we?
- Hmm.Copy !req
40. That's why
I thought to myself...Copy !req
41. well, we ought
to talk to each other.Copy !req
42. Do you mind?
Me talking, I mean.Copy !req
43. No, no, go ahead.
Talk.Copy !req
44. I can't promise to think
of anything to answer though.Copy !req
45. Don't worry about that.Copy !req
46. Once I get started,
nothing can stop me.Copy !req
47. My uncle says I am
a veritable well of words.Copy !req
48. Has this uncle of yours ever warned you
never to speak to strangers?Copy !req
49. No. He did say once if anyone
asked how old I was...Copy !req
50. to say I was 20 years old
and light in the head.Copy !req
51. - They always go together.
- "Light in the head"?Copy !req
52. Mmm.
Loopy. Crazy.Copy !req
53. Anyway,
you don't frighten me.Copy !req
54. - Why should I?
- No reason really.Copy !req
55. The uniform, I suppose.Copy !req
56. Most people are...
frightened...Copy !req
57. - frightened of firemen.
- This is my stop now.Copy !req
58. Mine too.Copy !req
59. - Are you an officer?
- Oh, no. Not yet.Copy !req
60. An officer has to-
I'm going to be promoted soon.Copy !req
61. Even with my eyes closed,
I could tell what you do for a job.Copy !req
62. - Because of the smell of kerosene?
- Huh.Copy !req
63. Quite a scent,
isn't it?Copy !req
64. My wife doesn't like it very much.
She says it lingers.Copy !req
65. I don't mind. I think of it
as a... perfume.Copy !req
66. - Perfume?
- Yes, a perfume, like any other.Copy !req
67. I don't think I've seen your wife.
What's she like?Copy !req
68. She's rather like you,
except her hair is long.Copy !req
69. - Rather like me?
- Quite like you.Copy !req
70. Tell me, that number
you all wear, what's it mean?Copy !req
71. Oh, Fahrenheit 451.Copy !req
72. Why 451 rather than
813 or 121?Copy !req
73. Fahrenheit 451
is the temperature at which...Copy !req
74. book paper catches fire
and starts to burn.Copy !req
75. I'd like to ask you something else,
only I don't really dare.Copy !req
76. Go ahead.Copy !req
77. Is it true...Copy !req
78. that a long time ago...Copy !req
79. - firemen used to put out fires
and not burn books?Copy !req
80. Really, your uncle is right.
You are light in the head.Copy !req
81. "Put fires out"?
Who told you that?Copy !req
82. - I don't know. Someone. But is it true?
- What a strange idea.Copy !req
83. - Houses have always been fireproof.
- Ours isn't.Copy !req
84. Well, then, it should be
condemned one of these days.Copy !req
85. It has to be destroyed,
and you will have to move...Copy !req
86. to a house
that is fireproof.Copy !req
87. Too bad.Copy !req
88. Tell me,
why do you burn books?Copy !req
89. What?Copy !req
90. Well, it's a job
like any other.Copy !req
91. Good work with lots
of variety.Copy !req
92. Monday, we burn Miller;
Tuesday, Tolstoy;
Wednesday, Walt Whitman;Copy !req
93. Friday, Faulkner;
and Saturday and Sunday,
Schopenhauer and Satre.Copy !req
94. "We burn them to ashes
and then burn the ashes."Copy !req
95. - That's our official motto.
- You don't like books then?Copy !req
96. - Do you like the rain?
- Yes, I adore it.Copy !req
97. Books are just
so much... rubbish.Copy !req
98. They have no interest.Copy !req
99. Then why do some people
still read them although
it's so dangerous?Copy !req
100. Precisely because
it is forbidden.Copy !req
101. Why is it forbidden?Copy !req
102. Because it makes
people unhappy.Copy !req
103. Do you really
believe that?Copy !req
104. Oh, yes. Books
disturb people.Copy !req
105. They make them
antisocial.Copy !req
106. Do you think
I'm antisocial?Copy !req
107. Why do you ask?Copy !req
108. Well...
I'm a teacher.Copy !req
109. Well, not quite.
I'm still on probation.Copy !req
110. This afternoon
the analyst called me in...Copy !req
111. and I don't think
I said the right things.Copy !req
112. I'm not at all happy
about my answers.Copy !req
113. That's probably why
I've been so rude to you.
Have I been annoying you?Copy !req
114. Oh, no,
not at all.Copy !req
115. In fact, I was questioned
this afternoon as well.Copy !req
116. I didn't do
too well either.Copy !req
117. This is where I live.Copy !req
118. You see?
This is my house.Copy !req
119. - One more question.
- Another one?Copy !req
120. - Just a tiny one.
- What is it?Copy !req
121. Do you ever read
the books you burn?Copy !req
122. Why should I? First,
I'm not interested.Copy !req
123. Second, I've better things to do.
Third, it is forbidden.Copy !req
124. Of course.Copy !req
125. - You happy?
- What?Copy !req
126. Of course I'm happy.Copy !req
127. so you can protect
yourself on the streets.Copy !req
128. The art of self-defence,
and of attack on occasions...Copy !req
129. may also come in handy
in the home, cousins.Copy !req
130. If you watch carefully,
you will see...Copy !req
131. how a woman can use a man's
superior weight to her own advantage.Copy !req
132. Did you see that?Copy !req
133. Now let's watch that
once again normally.Copy !req
134. And now
in slow motion.Copy !req
135. Watch it carefully
again, cousins.Copy !req
136. I'm going to be promoted.Copy !req
137. - As he starts to advance,
notice her position:
- Are you listening, Linda?Copy !req
138. Knees bent slightly
and toes turned slightly inwards.Copy !req
139. Oh, that's marvellous, Montag.Copy !req
140. There. Now you see how easily
she has disposed of her...Copy !req
141. The captain told me
while we were out on a call.Copy !req
142. What did you say?Copy !req
143. I'm talking
about my promotion.Copy !req
144. Does that mean an increase, dear?Copy !req
145. - How much?
- He didn't mention that.Copy !req
146. We could move to a larger house.
Would you like that?Copy !req
147. I'd rather have
a second wall-set put in.Copy !req
148. They say when you have
your second wall-screen...Copy !req
149. - it's like having
your family grow around you.Copy !req
150. Linda, how many of these pills
have you taken today?Copy !req
151. What's that?Copy !req
152. Oh, those. Help yourself.
I've got another bottle.Copy !req
153. - How many have you had?
- Oh, don't carry on
like that. Only a few.Copy !req
154. Anyway, tonight's special for me.Copy !req
155. I've got a part in The Family.Copy !req
156. - What?
- Our campaign against the enemies of the public peace...Copy !req
157. is gaining momentum.Copy !req
158. Today's figures for operations
in the urban area alone...Copy !req
159. account for the elimination
of the total...Copy !req
160. of 2,750 pounds
of conventional editions.Copy !req
161. Eight hundred and thirty-six
pounds of first editions...Copy !req
162. and 17 pounds of manuscripts
were also destroyed.Copy !req
163. Twenty-three antisocial
elements were detained,
pending re-education.Copy !req
164. Did you see that? Cousin Claudette's
got a bouffant tonight.Copy !req
165. - Who?
- Cousin Claudette.Copy !req
166. - Who is Cousin Claudette?
- The cousin announcer.
The one you don't like.Copy !req
167. I don't like
any of them.Copy !req
168. Why don't you get the kitchen
family fixed? You are awful.Copy !req
169. Quickly!
Quickly!Copy !req
170. They've written a play
with one part missing. That's me.Copy !req
171. When the people look at me,
then I have to speak.Copy !req
172. They ask me a question,
and I have to say what I think.Copy !req
173. - The play, it's beginning.
- And now, for cousins everywhere...Copy !req
174. Our Family Theatre.Copy !req
175. "Come Play With Us."Copy !req
176. Naturally, in what
you are about to see...Copy !req
177. any similarity with the truth
or with real life will be
purely coincidental.Copy !req
178. Do bear that in mind.Copy !req
179. So, will you
come play with us?Copy !req
180. You will? Good!
I thought you would.Copy !req
181. Charles, do you realize
what a dilemma this is?Copy !req
182. It's terribly difficult.
I don't see any way out of it.Copy !req
183. Come, come, Bernard.
Of course there's a way out.Copy !req
184. There are 13 of us
so far, right?Copy !req
185. You want to invite Edward,
which makes 14.Copy !req
186. But if somebody's ill,
then we should be back to 13 again.Copy !req
187. - Precisely. Then we must
invite more people.
- That's an idea.Copy !req
188. What about Lottie and James?
That'll make 16.Copy !req
189. Then if somebody's ill,
at least we won't be 13.Copy !req
190. But then there's
the problem of the rooms.Copy !req
191. Lottie has two little boys:
Freddie and little John.Copy !req
192. I don't see any problem
there at all.Copy !req
193. We can put the two children
in Helen's room.Copy !req
194. What do you think, Linda?Copy !req
195. - Go ahead. They're waiting for you.
- I think that...Copy !req
196. You see?
Linda agrees with me.Copy !req
197. Lottie's children must go in
with Helen's children.
Linda's absolutely right.Copy !req
198. Then there's the problem
of the seating, Charles.Copy !req
199. I think I've got something
worked out, though. Look.Copy !req
200. If we put Yvonne at the head
and Richard at her right...Copy !req
201. Oh, no, Bernard. Richard isn't
even speaking to Yvonne.Copy !req
202. - Oh?
- Because of Leslie.Copy !req
203. - Oh!
- Madeleine must be at the head.Copy !req
204. Besides, Madeleine is older
than Yvonne. She might even
be older than Jacqueline.Copy !req
205. I see no problem there. We put
Madeleine at the head of the table.Copy !req
206. It's Madeleine, isn't it, Linda?Copy !req
207. Absolutely.Copy !req
208. If Linda thinks
it's all right, it must be.Copy !req
209. - There's still the problem
about the rooms.
- What rooms are left?Copy !req
210. There's the pink room.
We could always put Lilian
in the pink room.Copy !req
211. - We can put Susan in the green room.
- Yes.Copy !req
212. - Where can we put Monica?
- Yes, what can we do with Monica?Copy !req
213. Do you have the answer, Linda?Copy !req
214. In the blue room?Copy !req
215. Linda, you're right.Copy !req
216. She's right.Copy !req
217. Linda, you're
absolutely fantastic.Copy !req
218. You saw it, didn't you?
I gave all the right answers.Copy !req
219. Wasn't it wonderful?
I could have been an actress.
Don't you think so?Copy !req
220. - Think what?
- That I could have been an actress.Copy !req
221. Oh, sure you could have
been an actress.Copy !req
222. I wonder whether Joyce
was watching. I do hope so.Copy !req
223. I must ring her tomorrow
and find out what she thought.Copy !req
224. - How did you get the part?
- The head of The Family
rang me up. Me!Copy !req
225. And said I was to be
in tonight's play.Copy !req
226. Linda, they must have phoned
every one of 200,000 Lindas
in the whole country.Copy !req
227. That's not true.Copy !req
228. I mean, even if it were true,
you didn't have to tell me.
That was very mean.Copy !req
229. So you're in for promotion,
Montag. Good luck.Copy !req
230. Thank you.Copy !req
231. Well, well, what's all this we hear,
Montag? Promotion, eh?Copy !req
232. It seems so.Copy !req
233. How do you feel about it? Happy?Copy !req
234. - The wife rather likes the idea.
- I suppose.Copy !req
235. - Hurry!Copy !req
236. Attention!Copy !req
237. That will do for today.
Go back to your desks.Copy !req
238. What's this? I told you two
I did not want to see you
sitting next to each other.Copy !req
239. Didn't I make it clear enough
the first time? Yes, you!Copy !req
240. You know what I mean.
Come and sit here.Copy !req
241. Let us review
yesterday's lesson.Copy !req
242. We studied how to detect
books hidden during the actual
construction of a house.Copy !req
243. This is somewhat rare
because it's very costly;Copy !req
244. for its floors,
for its ceilings.Copy !req
245. We also studied concealment
inside furniture.Copy !req
246. Trainee firemen
Stoneman and Black are to report
to Captain's office immediately.Copy !req
247. I repeat, trainee firemen
Stoneman and Black...Copy !req
248. are to report to the captain's
office immediately.Copy !req
249. We were discussing
concealment inside furniture.Copy !req
250. The most prevalent form
being the false icebox
or the fake television set.Copy !req
251. What occasionally presents
problems are books hidden
in small quantities...Copy !req
252. in everyday objects.Copy !req
253. When one is looking for a book,
the most common area
is to look for it...Copy !req
254. in a rectangular object,
like a cigar box or a chocolate box...Copy !req
255. or any other object
in similar shape.Copy !req
256. I demonstrate how even
a cylindrical object can be used.Copy !req
257. Montag will report
to the captain's office.Copy !req
258. Here, you.
Hand me a pile of books.Copy !req
259. While I'm gone, give each
of the trainees a book.Copy !req
260. Each of you will hide his book
somewhere in this classroom.Copy !req
261. When I return, I will give you
a demonstration how to search.Copy !req
262. To learn how to find,
one must first know how to hide.Copy !req
263. - What shall I say?
- We met by accident.Copy !req
264. - That's no good.
- What do you want to say?Copy !req
265. - We planned it?
- It was your idea.Copy !req
266. - You're the one who thought of it.
- Shut up!Copy !req
267. If we don't tell him
the same story, we're... Listen...Copy !req
268. let's play this by ear.Copy !req
269. - Montag, this will take
about five minutes.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
270. What time is it?Copy !req
271. Uh... 10:00, sir.Copy !req
272. Get out! This is the last time!Copy !req
273. Get out!Copy !req
274. - Like gymnastics, Montag?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
275. - And what about hockey?
Do you like hockey?
- Yes, I do, sir.Copy !req
276. - And golf?
- Golf. Very much, sir.Copy !req
277. - Hmm? And football?
- Wonderful, sir.Copy !req
278. Billiards?
Basketball?Copy !req
279. Oh, they're all
very fine sports, sir.Copy !req
280. Then increase the dosage.
More sports for everyone, hmm?Copy !req
281. Strengthen the group spirit.
Organize the fun. Hmm?Copy !req
282. Just keep them busy,
and you keep them happy.
That's what matters.Copy !req
283. Hmm?
Am I right?Copy !req
284. Absolutely, sir.Copy !req
285. Well, shall we talk a little
about this promotion of yours?Copy !req
286. You have mentioned
the possibility to your wife?Copy !req
287. - Yes, sir.
- And her reaction?Copy !req
288. She thought we might be able
to have a second wall-screen.Copy !req
289. Oh, you only have
the one wall converted. I see.Copy !req
290. These matters of promotion
are much more important
to a married man, aren't they?Copy !req
291. I guess so, sir.Copy !req
292. Montag... you have
no children, I believe.Copy !req
293. No, sir.
We have no children.Copy !req
294. Well, then, a commission
seems in order.Copy !req
295. I can't see any reason offhand
why it shouldn't go through.Copy !req
296. You understand, of course...Copy !req
297. with the new amendment
to the law, we must expect
to be worked really very hard.Copy !req
298. Very hard, indeed...Copy !req
299. until we can arrange
for new volunteers to be drafted.Copy !req
300. Yes, sir, I heard the men
talking about it.Copy !req
301. How long have you been with us?Copy !req
302. For six years, sir.
Yes, for six years.Copy !req
303. No, no, no, for five years, sir.
For five years.Copy !req
304. Montag has one quality
I appreciate greatly.Copy !req
305. He says very little.Copy !req
306. Have you seen
my personal medallion?Copy !req
307. It's a remarkable likeness.Copy !req
308. You must remind me to let you
have one sometime.Copy !req
309. Now, let's get back
to this promotion of yours.Copy !req
310. I've been looking
through your file.Copy !req
311. There are only six back views.
We need 12 of them, you know.Copy !req
312. Two sets of six.Copy !req
313. Remember that, Montag.Copy !req
314. Linda?Copy !req
315. Linda!Copy !req
316. Hospital listening.Copy !req
317. - Yes, it's about my wife. She-
- Name and address.Copy !req
318. Uh... Montag.
Block 813.Copy !req
319. - 813?
- Uh, just a moment.Copy !req
320. - Hello? I just came home from work,
- Yes.Copy !req
321. - And I found her
on the floor unconscious.
- Does she take pills?Copy !req
322. - Of course! Yesterday, she-
- Just a moment.Copy !req
323. - I'll connect you
with poisoning section.
- Yes.Copy !req
324. - Poisoning listening.
- It's about my wife. She-Copy !req
325. - Name and address.
- Uh, Montag. Block 813.Copy !req
326. - What kind of pills?
- Oh... uh, just a moment.Copy !req
327. - Hello?
- Yes?Copy !req
328. They are red.
Oh, and red number two.Copy !req
329. Oh, it's a stimulant.
It's harmless.Copy !req
330. She's probably taken
the wrong kind of sedative
on top of that.Copy !req
331. Oh, just a moment.Copy !req
332. - Hello?
- Yes, listening.Copy !req
333. Oh, yes, they are
golden number eight.Copy !req
334. Right. Stay close to her.
The ambulance is on its way.Copy !req
335. - Four minutes.
- What should I do in the meantime?Copy !req
336. Nothing.Copy !req
337. Where is the doctor?Copy !req
338. - What doctor?
- The doctor to take care of my wife.Copy !req
339. No doctors on these jobs.
We do all the blood jobs, me and him.Copy !req
340. - No, it's here, please.
- That's right, us. Who did you expect?Copy !req
341. Cases like that...
We handle 50 a day like her.Copy !req
342. That's right.
She won't be the last tonight,
not by a long shot. No, sir.Copy !req
343. Don't you worry, sir.
We'll give her a pump out
and fill her up with new blood.Copy !req
344. In 20 minutes, she'll be
as good as new. Just you relax.Copy !req
345. This isn't pretty
to look at.Copy !req
346. You need a strong stomach.
You better wait out there.Copy !req
347. You just leave it all to us.
We'll call you as soon as she's done.Copy !req
348. This regulator is not
as regular as it was.Copy !req
349. Come here
with that thing.Copy !req
350. First,
get the stockings off.Copy !req
351. Never mind that.
Put the dress on that chair.Copy !req
352. All right, sir,
you can come in now.Copy !req
353. She's fresh as a daisy,
good as gold.Copy !req
354. - She's still unconscious.
- I wouldn't say that, sir.Copy !req
355. You've got it wrong.
She's asleep.Copy !req
356. Never mind about her.
You get to bed.Copy !req
357. By tomorrow,
it'll all be forgotten.Copy !req
358. She'll be completely well by tomorrow?Copy !req
359. Better than that. Take my word for it,
she'll be on top of the world.Copy !req
360. - She'll have an appetite
for all sorts of things.Copy !req
361. That's right. She'll be starving.
You'll find out.Copy !req
362. My, I'm hungry.Copy !req
363. How do you feel?Copy !req
364. Hungry.
Really hungry.Copy !req
365. - I'm absolutely starving.
I could eat a horse.
- Do you remember last night?Copy !req
366. - Yes, what a sleep. I slept like a log.
- Listen...Copy !req
367. - when I came home last night, you were-
- I'm absolutely famished.Copy !req
368. Let me talk, Linda,
will you?Copy !req
369. Oh...
of course, darling.Copy !req
370. Talk all you like
if it makes you happy.Copy !req
371. Go on then.
What about last night?Copy !req
372. Nothing.
I can't remember.Copy !req
373. It doesn't matter anyway.Copy !req
374. Look.Copy !req
375. I've bought you a present
to celebrate your-Copy !req
376. Oh, I forget what.
Never mind.Copy !req
377. Do you like it?
Isn't it lovely?Copy !req
378. - Do you like it?
- Yes, I do. Very much.Copy !req
379. Isn't it smart?
It's the very latest.Copy !req
380. Everyone's
using them now.Copy !req
381. Can I throw
your old one away?Copy !req
382. Linda.Copy !req
383. Linda.Copy !req
384. I've something
to tell you.Copy !req
385. Are you listening,
Linda?Copy !req
386. What are you doing?Copy !req
387. Linda?Copy !req
388. Hey!Copy !req
389. Do you ever
read the books you burn?Copy !req
390. Hey, you, come here.
Come here.Copy !req
391. Here. What's all this?
What is it? Eh?Copy !req
392. Hey!Copy !req
393. Come on.
Come on. Come on.Copy !req
394. All right.
Hold him.Copy !req
395. But some boys still boycott
the barber shops.Copy !req
396. Here you see a mop-up squad
at work on one of these messy
know-it-alls.Copy !req
397. It all goes to show
law enforcement can be fun.Copy !req
398. How come the door
is not working?Copy !req
399. You're just in time.
Dinner is nearly ready.Copy !req
400. - Montag, what are you doing?
- I'm coming.Copy !req
401. "The Personal History
of David Copperfield...Copy !req

417. "It was remarked that the clock
began to strike...Copy !req
418. and I began to cry,
simultaneously."Copy !req
419. Simultaneously.Copy !req
420. Just a moment.Copy !req
421. Go on.Copy !req
422. Come on.Copy !req
423. Aha.Copy !req
424. Ah-ah.Copy !req
425. - Oh! Everything all right?
- Yes, everything's all right.Copy !req
426. That's what they always say,
so it must be... all right.Copy !req
427. It certainly doesn't look
that way. What's wrong?Copy !req
428. Oh, everything.Copy !req
429. It would take
too long to-Copy !req
430. Sometimes I can't stand it
any more. I'd just like to-Copy !req
431. All right, let's go
somewhere quiet then.Copy !req
432. - Won't you be late?
- No, I have plenty of time.
Let's go over here.Copy !req
433. I saw you the other day,
when we were going out on a call.Copy !req
434. I was
on the fire engine.Copy !req
435. You know, it's funny.
It reminded me of something.Copy !req
436. A girl who used to wait...Copy !req
437. for a soldier...Copy !req
438. by a barrack gate.Copy !req
439. - What's happened?
- You remember the analyst,
how worried I was?Copy !req
440. - Mm-hmm.
- I was right to be worried.
I've been dismissed.Copy !req
441. Why? What reason
did they give?Copy !req
442. None at all.
Just an official call.Copy !req
443. Services no longer required.Copy !req
444. I'm never to go
to the school any more.Copy !req
445. They must give you a reason.
Make them tell you why.
Go to the school and ask.Copy !req
446. I can't do that.Copy !req
447. Anyway, who knows
what they may have said
about me to the children.Copy !req
448. Strange. I wonder what you said
that made the analyst...Copy !req
449. Don't you have any idea?
Something you said or did?Copy !req
450. I never did get on well with the staff.
They disapprove of me.Copy !req
451. I don't always stick
to the timetable and...Copy !req
452. we have fun in my classes,
and they don't like that.Copy !req
453. There was another teacher,
the one I replaced.Copy !req
454. The same thing happened to her.
They didn't like her either.Copy !req
455. - Now she's in some
awful kind of trouble.
- Then it wasn't the analyst.Copy !req
456. It was the staff that
wanted to get rid of you
because you are different.Copy !req
457. Look at that fellow
over there.Copy !req
458. - What's he doing?
- That's the information box.Copy !req
459. - He can't make up his mind.
- What's he want to find out?Copy !req
460. He doesn't want
to find out anything.
He knows someone who has books.Copy !req
461. So he got hold of that person's
picture and number...Copy !req
462. and is going to drop it
into that box.Copy !req
463. - But he's an informer!
- No, he's an informant. Look at him.Copy !req
464. Like someone circling
around a woman.Copy !req
465. - He's putting something in his mouth.
- It's a stimulant...Copy !req
466. to work up his nerve.Copy !req
467. He wants to make sure
no one can see him.Copy !req
468. Look at him.Copy !req
469. He's walking away.Copy !req
470. You see? He couldn't
go through with it.Copy !req
471. Don't worry, he'll be back.
Here he comes.Copy !req
472. Good Lord, make up your mind.Copy !req
473. - There. What a relief.
- Now he's got rid of
his noisy neighbour...Copy !req
474. or his brother-in-law
who has got a better job
or even his mother.Copy !req
475. Why not?
It's time to work.Copy !req
476. Please, go back to the school
and try to find out.Copy !req
477. No, I can't do that.Copy !req
478. You must find an excuse
to go back there.Copy !req
479. Suppose I ought to go
and clear out my locker.Copy !req
480. That's all right.
Uh, I have to hurry. Good luck.Copy !req
481. I'm not going.
You must come with me.Copy !req
482. But I can't.
I have to go to work.Copy !req
483. I'll take care of that.Copy !req
484. Come on.
Leave it to me.Copy !req
485. The Rodier Firehouse.Copy !req
486. Extension one, miss.Copy !req
487. Rodier Firehouse listening.Copy !req
488. - Can I speak to-
- Who's calling?Copy !req
489. - I'm speaking for Montag.
- Yes?Copy !req
490. - Can I speak to the captain?
- One moment.Copy !req
491. - Captain listening.
- This is Linda Montag.Copy !req
492. - Montag's wife?
- Yes.Copy !req
493. - What can I do for you?
- My husband asked me to tell you...Copy !req
494. he's been taken ill
and can't leave his bed.Copy !req
495. - Nothing serious, I hope.
- No, he should be up by this evening.Copy !req
496. - Very well, madam.
Thank you for informing me.
- Thank you.Copy !req
497. Montag's wife. He's not too well.
He's staying in bed.Copy !req
498. Montag?Copy !req
499. Mmm.Copy !req
500. Is he? I see.Copy !req
501. Well, Fabian,
that'll do for now.Copy !req
502. Until the meeting.Copy !req
503. Okay.Copy !req
504. Nine thirteens are
a hundred and seventeen.Copy !req
505. Nine fourteens are
a hundred and twenty-six.Copy !req
506. Nine fifteens are
a hundred and thirty-five.Copy !req
507. Nine sixteens are
a hundred and forty-four.Copy !req
508. Nine seventeens are
a hundred and fifty-three.Copy !req
509. - That's Robert.
- Nine eighteens are
a hundred and sixty-two.Copy !req
510. Nine nineteens are
a hundred and seventy-one.Copy !req
511. Robert.Copy !req
512. Nine thirteens are
a hundred and seventeen.Copy !req
513. - It may be my uniform.
- Yes, yes, that's what frightened him!Copy !req
514. - It must have been your uniform.
- Go ahead. I'll wait here.Copy !req
515. - Nine fifteens are
a hundred and thirty-five.
- All right.Copy !req
516. One twelve is twelve.
Two twelves is twenty-four.Copy !req
517. Three twelves is thirty-six.
Four twelves is forty-eight.Copy !req
518. Five twelves is sixty.Copy !req
519. - Six twelves is seventy-two.
Seven twelves is eighty-four.Copy !req
520. Eight twelves
is ninety-six.Copy !req
521. Nine twelves
is a hundred and eight.Copy !req
522. Ten twelves
is a hundred and twenty.Copy !req
523. Eleven twelves
is a hundred and thirty-two.Copy !req
524. Twelve twelves...Copy !req
525. I'm going
to be promoted.Copy !req
526. They'll listen
to me then.Copy !req
527. - I'll go and see your
principal myself. Come.Copy !req
528. - Why?
- What?Copy !req
529. How did it come about?Copy !req
530. What made it begin?Copy !req
531. What made you want to do-Copy !req
532. How could someone like you
be doing this kind of work?Copy !req
533. I know everyone says that.
But you!Copy !req
534. You're not like them.Copy !req
535. When I say something to you,
you look at me.Copy !req
536. Why did you
choose this job?Copy !req
537. For you it doesn't seem
to make any sense.Copy !req
538. Do you remember what
you asked me the other day?Copy !req
539. - If I ever read the books
I burn? Remember?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
540. Last night I read one.Copy !req
541. "Because I'd be ashamed of myself."Copy !req
542. Ashamed of myself.Copy !req
543. "It was a little
after half past 11:00."Copy !req
544. - What are you doing, Linda?
- I found these things in the house.Copy !req
545. I don't want these things.
They frighten me.Copy !req
546. You spend your whole life
in front of that "family" on the wall.Copy !req
547. These books
are my family.Copy !req
548. When did we first meet?
And where?Copy !req
549. - What?
- When did we meet for the first time?Copy !req
550. I don't know.Copy !req
551. Let me think.Copy !req
552. No, I really
can't remember.Copy !req
553. Oh, that's rather sad.
Don't you think? I do.Copy !req
554. I think it's very sad.Copy !req
555. Behind each of these
books, there's a man.Copy !req
556. That's what interests me. So leave
them alone and go back to bed.Copy !req
557. - I can't sleep.
- You have your pills, haven't you?Copy !req
558. "Any of certain large, powerful...Copy !req
559. "thick-skinned
perissodactyl mammals...Copy !req
560. "of the family...Copy !req
561. Rhinocerotidae."Copy !req
562. - Well, look who's here.
- What about it?Copy !req
563. - I thought you were on sick leave.
- Sick leave?Copy !req
564. - Who gave you that idea?
- I don't remember.
I must have got it wrong.Copy !req
565. Hurry up.Copy !req
566. Montag, you've
forgotten your helmet.Copy !req
567. What's this, Montag?
Something wrong between
you and the pole?Copy !req
568. Oh, Mummy, look!Copy !req
569. Firemen. Mummy,
there's going to be a fire.Copy !req
570. "Play the man,
Master Ridley.Copy !req
571. "We shall this day light such
a candle, by God's grace...Copy !req
572. as I trust shall
never be put out."Copy !req
573. The police haven't done their job
very well. Who is this woman?Copy !req
574. - What is she doing here?
- Well, she's certainly
worth looking at anyway.Copy !req
575. Police arrested the family
this morning, sir.
She must have been out.Copy !req
576. - Where are the books?
- If you didn't know that,
you wouldn't be here.Copy !req
577. Upstairs. Montag,
you stay here.Copy !req
578. Hey! You two, in there!Copy !req
579. In there. Go on.Copy !req
580. Down there! Throw them all down!Copy !req
581. Break it open! That's it.Copy !req
582. This way! Come on!Copy !req
583. Down there!
Throw them all down!Copy !req
584. All the books! All of them!
This way! Come on!Copy !req
585. "Once upon a time, there was
a poor woodcutter whose name was-"Copy !req
586. They can't have my books.
They'll never take them away.Copy !req
587. - Montag, I think you should see this.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
588. Come on! Quickly!Copy !req
589. This is a real eyeful.Copy !req
590. Ah, Montag.
I knew it. I knew it.Copy !req
591. Of course, all this-
The existence of a secret...Copy !req
592. library was known
in high places...Copy !req
593. but there was no way
of getting at it.Copy !req
594. Only once before have I seen
so many books in one place.Copy !req
595. I was just an ordinary fireman
at the time.Copy !req
596. I wasn't even qualified
to use the flamethrower.Copy !req
597. It's all ours, Montag.Copy !req
598. Listen to me, Montag.Copy !req
599. Once to each fireman,
at least once in his career...Copy !req
600. he just itches to know
what these books are all about.Copy !req
601. He just aches to know.
Isn't that so?Copy !req
602. Take my word for it, Montag,
there's nothing there.Copy !req
603. The books have nothing
to say!Copy !req
604. Look, these are all novels.Copy !req
605. All about people
that never existed.Copy !req
606. The people that read them,
it makes them unhappy
with their own lives...Copy !req
607. makes them want
to live in other ways
that can never really be.Copy !req
608. What's happening?Copy !req
609. This house is condemned.
They said to burn the books
here with everything else.Copy !req
610. Burning the house is one thing.
Burning the books is another, isn't it?Copy !req
611. It's never any good
burning everything together.Copy !req
612. Come on, Montag. All this philosophy,
let's get rid of it.Copy !req
613. It's even worse
than the novels.Copy !req
614. Thinkers, philosophers, all of them
saying exactly the same thing:Copy !req
615. "Only I am right.
The others are all idiots."Copy !req
616. One century, they tell you
man's destiny is predetermined.Copy !req
617. The next, they say that
he has freedom of choice.Copy !req
618. It's just a matter
of fashion, that's all. Philosophy.Copy !req
619. Just like short dresses this year,
long dresses next year.Copy !req
620. Look. All stories of the dead.
Biography that's called.Copy !req
621. And autobiography.Copy !req
622. My Life. My Diary.
My Memoirs.Copy !req
623. My Intimate Memoirs.Copy !req
624. Of course, when they started out,
it was just the urge to write.Copy !req
625. Then after the second or
third book, all they wanted
was to satisfy their own vanity...Copy !req
626. to stand out from the crowd,
to be different...Copy !req
627. to be able to look down
on all the others.Copy !req
628. Ah, Critic's Prize.
This is a good one.Copy !req
629. Of course, he had the critics
on his side. Lucky fellow.Copy !req
630. Just tell me this, Montag,
at a guess...Copy !req
631. how many literary awards
were made in this country,
on an average each year?Copy !req
632. Five, ten, forty? Hmm?
No less than 1,200.Copy !req
633. Anybody that put pen to paper
was bound to win some prize someday.Copy !req
634. Ah, Robinson Crusoe.
The negroes didn't like that
because of his man, Friday.Copy !req
635. And Nietzsche. Ah, Nietzsche.
The Jews didn't like Nietzsche.Copy !req
636. Now, here's a book
about lung cancer.Copy !req
637. All the cigarette smokers got
into a panic, so for everybody's
peace of mind, we burn it.Copy !req
638. Ah, now this one
must be very profound.
The Ethics of Aristotle.Copy !req
639. Now anybody that read that
must believe he's a cut above
anybody that hadn't.Copy !req
640. You see, it's no good, Montag.
We've all got to be alike.Copy !req
641. The only way to be happy is
for everyone to be made equal.Copy !req
642. So, we must burn the books,
Montag.Copy !req
643. - All the books.
- Sir.Copy !req
644. - Yes, what's the matter?
- Trouble with the old lady downstairs.Copy !req
645. She won't leave.
She won't leave her books, she says.Copy !req
646. She won't leave her books,
won't she? Won't she?Copy !req
647. Come on now, madam.
We're gonna burn the house.Copy !req
648. - No.
- What do you want? Martyrdom?Copy !req
649. - I want to die as I've lived.
- Oh, you must have read that in there.Copy !req
650. I'm not going to ask you again.
Are you going?Copy !req
651. These books were alive.
They spoke to me.Copy !req
652. Go ahead.Copy !req
653. All right, that's enough.
Come on, madam, you've got ten seconds.Copy !req
654. Fabian, ten count.Copy !req
655. One.Copy !req
656. Two. Three.Copy !req
657. Four. Five.Copy !req
658. Six. Seven.Copy !req
659. Eight.Copy !req
660. - Nine.
- Nine elevens are ninety-nine.Copy !req
661. Nine twelves
are a hundred and eight.Copy !req
662. - Nine thirteens are a hundred and seventeen.
- - She can't stay here.Copy !req
663. - She refuses to leave. Look out.
- She must be forced to leave.Copy !req
664. Back there! Open up!Copy !req
665. Everybody, outside!Copy !req
666. Come on,
you too, Montag!Copy !req
667. Montag!
Get out of there!Copy !req
668. Montag!
Come on, this way!Copy !req
669. Montag!Copy !req
670. Finally, do remember to tolerate
your friends' friends...Copy !req
671. however alien and peculiar
they may seem to you.Copy !req
672. - Don't despise minorities.
- Doesn't Cousin Midge's
face look swollen?Copy !req
673. - That's because she's pregnant.
- Is that why?Copy !req
674. I think it's irresponsible
to have children.Copy !req
675. Somebody's got
to have children, Jackie.
They can't let the race die out.Copy !req
676. Babies grow up to look like you.
That must be fun.Copy !req
677. - Strangle violence. Suppress prejudice.
- Here's Montag.Copy !req
678. Be tolerant today.Copy !req
679. Being just pretty
is not enough.Copy !req
680. The wife who uses translusives
knows better than that.Copy !req
681. Try some today, but watch out
for your friends' husbands.Copy !req
682. They'll be around you
like flies.Copy !req
683. No one will ever notice
that your chairs don't match...Copy !req
684. and you'll be
as popular as ever.Copy !req
685. Would you excuse me?Copy !req
686. Yes, I like her hair
like this.Copy !req
687. Come on, Montag, be good now.Copy !req
688. Come on over and sit with us.
You haven't seen Jackie
and Doris and Helen for ages.Copy !req
689. - It's very rude, you know.
- Leave me alone.Copy !req
690. Aren't you well?Copy !req
691. All right,
but it's very naughty.Copy !req
692. are being reclassified.Copy !req
693. Two cells of antisocials
were located earlier today...Copy !req
694. in the western
metropolitan area.Copy !req
695. The police have declined
to comment so far.Copy !req
696. Meanwhile, the "Report Those
Who Threaten You" campaign...Copy !req
697. - met with particular success today...
- When an old woman, cousins...Copy !req
698. chose to be burned
with her books rather than
being separated from them.Copy !req
699. If that's a joke,
it's not in very good taste.Copy !req
700. - You would like to think
that, wouldn't you?
- Don't be silly, Montag.Copy !req
701. Things like that
don't happen.Copy !req
702. You mean, you don't
want to hear about it. I saw it!Copy !req
703. - My husband says-
- Oh, your husband! You don't
even know where he is!Copy !req
704. - Montag!
- Of course I know.Copy !req
705. - He's been called on reserve
for some field training.
- Or to fight a little war.Copy !req
706. - You never know, do you?
- Why do you call it that?Copy !req
707. Even if he was,
what about it?Copy !req
708. He's not allowed to call me
until it's all over.Copy !req
709. - It'll only be about a week or two.
- He'll be all right.Copy !req
710. The point about wars is,
if you want to call them that...Copy !req
711. - it's only other women's
husbands who get killed.
- That's true.Copy !req
712. I never knew anyone
who got killed in a-Copy !req
713. Not anyone whose husband
died like that.Copy !req
714. Getting run over,
jumping out of a window, yes.Copy !req
715. Like Gloria's husband
a few nights ago.Copy !req
716. But never
that other way.Copy !req
717. Anyway, that's life,
isn't it?Copy !req
718. That's what you call it.Copy !req
719. You're nothing
but zombies, all of you.Copy !req
720. Just like those husbands of yours
you don't even know any more.Copy !req
721. You're not living,
you're just killing time!Copy !req
722. - Well, I think it's time to go.
- Yes, I-Copy !req
723. Thank you.
It was a lovely afternoon.Copy !req
724. - Really fun.
- Yes.
- Sit down!Copy !req
725. - Come on, sit down.
It'll only take a minute.
- Whatever is that?Copy !req
726. - Darling.
- It's not a book?Copy !req
727. That's what it is.
It's a novel.Copy !req
728. Oh, it's a book! Oh, you mustn't!
It's against the law!Copy !req
729. - Quiet. Sit down and listen.
- Since Montag really insists.Copy !req
730. But when he's through,
I hope we can do as we please.Copy !req
731. "There can be no
disparity in marriage...Copy !req
732. "like unsuitability
of mind and purpose.Copy !req
733. "I had endeavoured
to adapt Dora to myself
and found it impracticable.Copy !req
734. "It remained for me to adapt
myself to Dora, to share with
her what I could and be happy.Copy !req
735. "It made my second year
much happier than my first...Copy !req
736. "and, what was better still,
made Dora's life all sunshine.Copy !req
737. "But as that year wore on,
Dora was not strong.Copy !req
738. "I had hoped that lighter hands
than mine would help
to mould her character...Copy !req
739. "and that a baby's smile
upon her breast might change
my child-wife to a woman.Copy !req
740. "It was not to be.
My pretty Dora.Copy !req
741. "We thought she would be
running about as she used
to do in a few days.Copy !req
742. "But they said wait
a few days more, and then
wait a few days more...Copy !req
743. "and still she neither
ran nor walked.Copy !req
744. "I began to carry her
downstairs every morning
and upstairs every night.Copy !req
745. "But sometimes when
I took her up, I felt that
she was lighter in my arms.Copy !req
746. "A dead, blank feeling
came upon me...Copy !req
747. "as if I were approaching
some frozen region...Copy !req
748. "yet unseen
that numbed my life.Copy !req
749. "I avoided direct recognition
of this feeling by any name,
over any communing with myself.Copy !req
750. - "Until one night when it was
very strong upon me...Copy !req
751. "And my aunt had left her
with her parting cry...Copy !req
752. "'Oh, goodbye,
little blossom.,Copy !req
753. "I sat down at my desk,
alone, and tried to think.Copy !req
754. "Oh, what a fatal name it was.Copy !req
755. "And how the blossom...Copy !req
756. withered in its bloom
up in the tree."Copy !req
757. I knew that's what would happen.
It's what I've always said.Copy !req
758. Life isn't like novels,
novels and tears, novels and suicide.Copy !req
759. Novels are sick.
That was sheer cruelty, Montag.Copy !req
760. - You, re a cruel man.
- All those words; idiotic words.Copy !req
761. Evil words
that hurt people.Copy !req
762. Isn't there enough
trouble as it is?Copy !req
763. - Why disturb people
with that sort of filth?
- Poor Doris.Copy !req
764. Bye, Linda. We were having
such a nice party.Copy !req
765. - Such a shame.
- I can't bear to know those feelings.Copy !req
766. I'd forgotten
all about those things.Copy !req
767. Oh, I'm sorry, Doris.Copy !req
768. They won't come back.
I'll be all alone.Copy !req
769. I won't be popular any more.Copy !req
770. They won't use me
in The Family any more.Copy !req
771. And you made Doris cry!Copy !req
772. She cried because
it is true.Copy !req
773. What are you going to do now?
Haven't you done enough harm?Copy !req
774. Leave me alone, Linda.
I've got reading to do. Quite a lot.Copy !req
775. - What's the matter with you?
Aren't you well?
- It's nothing.Copy !req
776. I've got to read.Copy !req
777. I've got to catch up with
the remembrance of the past!Copy !req
778. Right. You four,
over to the house!Copy !req
779. Take out the line.Copy !req
780. - This is it. Hurry. Go on!
- But what about you, Uncle?Copy !req
781. Don't worry. Get going!Copy !req
782. All right. Take your time.Copy !req
783. - I'm coming.
- Open up! Come on!
We know there's someone in there!Copy !req
784. Please, wait a minute.
I'm coming.Copy !req
785. - Come on! Open up!
- All right! I'm coming!Copy !req
786. Come on, come on.Copy !req
787. - Now, watch it.
- You watch it.Copy !req
788. - What is this?
- I'm moving this chair.Copy !req
789. I'm fed up with it
in the middle of the room.Copy !req
790. And this one...
I'm going to put...Copy !req
791. over here.Copy !req
792. There. And I'm going
to change those curtains.Copy !req
793. I've never liked them.
I'm gonna get new ones.Copy !req
794. And I'm gonna change
the laundry basket. I've decided-Copy !req
795. You're right. The chair's
much better over there.Copy !req
796. You know, you're not well. You were
tossing and turning all night.Copy !req
797. You kept me awake.
You ought to stay home today.Copy !req
798. No, no, I'm going
to the firehouse. I must.Copy !req
799. Because I don't know
if I'm going there tomorrow
or any other day.Copy !req
800. - But what about your promotion?
- My promotion?Copy !req
801. That was before.Copy !req
802. Montag.Copy !req
803. Look, last night...
you were talking in your sleep.Copy !req
804. I don't know what.
I didn't understand.Copy !req
805. And I don't understand.
What's making you like this?
What's going on in your head?Copy !req
806. I don't know,
and I don't want to know.Copy !req
807. But one thing I do want.
I want you to get rid of those books.Copy !req
808. - Take them away, Montag. Please.
- I will. I promise.Copy !req
809. - I'll do it myself if you like.
- No, I'll do it... after I've read them.Copy !req
810. No, now.
Do it right now, Montag.Copy !req
811. I'll leave you.Copy !req
812. I can't live
with those.Copy !req
813. You've got
to make a choice.Copy !req
814. Answer me, Montag.Copy !req
815. How can I answer, Linda?Copy !req
816. I just don't know.Copy !req
817. Excuse me. Do you know the girl
who lives here with her uncle? Clarisse.Copy !req
818. - They came for them.
- Who?Copy !req
819. - To take them away.
- The police?Copy !req
820. Not the police?
The firemen?Copy !req
821. They came to take them away.
They do that now, don't they?Copy !req
822. Only to question them.
They let them come back.Copy !req
823. You can't tell, can you?Copy !req
824. They weren't like us.
They were special.Copy !req
825. You see over there?Copy !req
826. And there.Copy !req
827. And there too.
Do you see?Copy !req
828. Now look at their house.Copy !req
829. There's nothing.Copy !req
830. Here, you! Come here!
What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
831. - Sir-
- Look! How often
must I talk to you about this?Copy !req
832. I talked to you about it
in the office the other day, didn't I?Copy !req
833. Why can't you do what you're told?
Eh? Why can't you?Copy !req
834. Look! Look at you!
Look!Copy !req
835. Did I tell you to-
Haven't you got a head?Copy !req
836. - Is the captain in?
- He just stepped out.Copy !req
837. - Didn't you pass him?
- No.Copy !req
838. Captain.Copy !req
839. Yeah?Copy !req
840. The people who were
arrested last night, sir.Copy !req
841. It's about time.Copy !req
842. - How long have you been with us?
- Three years, sir.Copy !req
843. Yes, you're a good man.Copy !req
844. Remind me to give you one
of my personal medallions.Copy !req
845. The likeness is remarkable.
You'll see.Copy !req
846. I, uh-
You, uh-Copy !req
847. I already
have one, sir.Copy !req
848. Oh, so it was you, was it?
How did you get in?Copy !req
849. I needed some information
about some arrests that
were made last night.Copy !req
850. I wanted to see
some identifications.Copy !req
851. Ah! So Montag's handling
the arrests now, is he?Copy !req
852. Oh, no, sir,
not at all.Copy !req
853. Last night, you said.
But the identifications
wouldn't be there.Copy !req
854. Not yet. In fact,
they've just been handed to me.Copy !req
855. Let's see now.Copy !req
856. Let's see if they're
amongst this lot.Copy !req
857. - Oh, they're the ones!
- I see.Copy !req
858. A little young
for him... I'd say.Copy !req
859. He's her uncle.Copy !req
860. - Friends of yours?
- Oh, no, sir. I know them slightly.Copy !req
861. - They live nearby.
- Ah.Copy !req
862. - And you'd like their house, is that it?
- Yes, sir, that's it.Copy !req
863. Well, the house will have
to be requisitioned...Copy !req
864. but you can't move in until
the niece has been arrested too.Copy !req
865. Oh, she-
She's still at large then?Copy !req
866. For the moment, yes.Copy !req
867. Look at the identification.
It hasn't been stamped yet.Copy !req
868. It's just a matter
of a day or two.Copy !req
869. We'll get you
your house. Hmm?Copy !req
870. How did you get in?Copy !req
871. Oh, now,
what's all this about?Copy !req
872. Hmm? Still shaky?Copy !req
873. You shouldn't have come in.Copy !req
874. Look at you.
You look like death.Copy !req
875. Some fresh air,
that's what you need.Copy !req
876. A nice bit of fresh air
will put you right again.Copy !req
877. Incidentally, if you see
that niece wandering about
this part of the world...Copy !req
878. you might let us know.Copy !req
879. It might expedite
the matter of the house.Copy !req
880. Of course, sir.Copy !req
881. - Clarisse, I must talk to you.
- Not here.Copy !req
882. - What happened?
- Uncle was arrested.Copy !req
883. I got away.Copy !req
884. But how did it happen?Copy !req
885. They came last night.
We were all asleep. Come on.Copy !req
886. Look, I have to get home.
It's terribly important.Copy !req
887. Uncle woke me up
and told me to get away.Copy !req
888. I escaped through the skylight
over the roof.Copy !req
889. This is the last place
you should have come to.Copy !req
890. I know, but there's
something I must find.Copy !req
891. Look, please stay with me.
I'm frightened.Copy !req
892. All right,
I'll stay with you.Copy !req
893. - It must be here somewhere.
- What must be here?Copy !req
894. Something.
Something I have to find.Copy !req
895. - Find and destroy.
- Let me look.Copy !req
896. - You wouldn't know where
to start looking.
- It was my job.Copy !req
897. - How big?
- About this big.Copy !req
898. - Papers.
- Oh.Copy !req
899. It's no use.Copy !req
900. - We'll find it. Don't you worry.
- It's a list of addresses.Copy !req
901. Friends of my uncle;
who they are and where they're hiding.Copy !req
902. We'll find it.Copy !req
903. What are you doing?Copy !req
904. - We must destroy these.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
905. I always wanted
to tell you...Copy !req
906. our meeting
in the monorail was no accident.Copy !req
907. I noticed you,
and I followed you.Copy !req
908. I thought
you could help us.Copy !req
909. I knew it when
that old woman killed herself.Copy !req
910. - I realized there was
a connection between you.
- Yes.Copy !req
911. - She was afraid she'd talk
and give us away.
- Yes.Copy !req
912. And I-Copy !req
913. This morning, what do I do?
I get into a little bit of trouble...Copy !req
914. and I faint
like a silly little girl.Copy !req
915. I can't be a fireman any more.
What is that over there?Copy !req
916. That? That's a rocking chair.
People used to sit...Copy !req
917. outside their houses
on warm evenings and rock
backwards and forwards.Copy !req
918. - Oh, really?
- Talking to anyone passing by.Copy !req
919. Just talking. We'll have
to go away from here.Copy !req
920. I know a place.Copy !req
921. My uncle told me
what to do if ever he was-
If ever he was taken.Copy !req
922. You follow the river upstream
'til you come to the old
steam railway line.Copy !req
923. Then you go on and you go on until
you get to where the Book people live.Copy !req
924. - The good people?
- No, Book. The Book people.Copy !req
925. - You've not heard of them?
- No.Copy !req
926. People who vanished. Some were
arrested and managed to escape.Copy !req
927. Others were released.
Some didn't wait to be arrested.
They just hid themselves away.Copy !req
928. Up in the farm country;
the woods and the hills.
They live there in little groups.Copy !req
929. The law can't touch them.
They live quite peaceably
and do nothing that's forbidden.Copy !req
930. Though, if they came into the city,
they might not last long.Copy !req
931. But how can you
call them Book people...Copy !req
932. if they don't do anything
against the law?Copy !req
933. They are books.
Each one, men and women...Copy !req
934. everyone, commits a book
they've chosen to memory,
and they become the books.Copy !req
935. Of course, every now and then,
someone gets stopped, arrested.Copy !req
936. Which is why
they live so cautiously.Copy !req
937. Because the secret they carry is
the most precious secret in the world.Copy !req
938. With them, all human knowledge
would pass away.Copy !req
939. - You must come with me.
- Oh, no, not yet.Copy !req
940. Uh, it is too soon for me.
I was still burning books.Copy !req
941. Yes, in time, perhaps.Copy !req
942. But now everything in my life
has suddenly changed.Copy !req
943. I must stay in the city.
I have a plan.Copy !req
944. I will hide a book in every
fireman's house and then denounce him.Copy !req
945. The system will eat itself.Copy !req
946. We must burn the pyromaniacs out.Copy !req
947. Now we have to go.Copy !req
948. Separately.Copy !req
949. You to your Book people
and me to strip this off.Copy !req
950. We shall see each
other again.Copy !req
951. No, we shan't.
Why pretend we shall?Copy !req
952. You are right.
We shan't.Copy !req
953. Fit and well again? Good, excellent.
Come on, hurry, no time to lose.Copy !req
954. I'm sorry, sir.
I was on my way to tell you...Copy !req
955. I shan't be staying
with the force, sir.Copy !req
956. Shan't be? But this isn't
how things are done, Montag.Copy !req
957. - Not on the eve of promotion.
- I shan't be coming in tomorrow.Copy !req
958. Tomorrow's another day.
Today you're under my command.Copy !req
959. Montag, I'm asking you,
as one man to another.Copy !req
960. Please. Please!Copy !req
961. You can't let me down
like this in front of the men,
not in front of the others.Copy !req
962. Just this one last call.
Then you can do as you like.Copy !req
963. Montag.Copy !req
964. This is my house!Copy !req
965. Mm-hmm, that's right.Copy !req
966. - Linda!
- I couldn't bear it.Copy !req
967. I just couldn't bear it
any more.Copy !req
968. Well, now, Montag knows
exactly what we're looking for.Copy !req
969. I think we can
leave it to him.Copy !req
970. To know how to find,
one must first know how
to hide. Isn't that so?Copy !req
971. I like a man who knows his work.
You men, just check the rest
of the house.Copy !req
972. Everything ready, Fabian?
Come on, hurry it up.Copy !req
973. Come on,
bring us the sparkler.Copy !req
974. As this is Montag's home,
I think, perhaps, he should
do the honours.Copy !req
975. What are you doing in there!
Have you gone mad?Copy !req
976. Come on, get back in there!
Just the books! The books!Copy !req
977. What do you think you're doing?
There's no need for that!Copy !req
978. I said the books, Montag!Copy !req
979. That's good.
That's what I like to see.Copy !req
980. Sweet reason.
Novels aren't life.Copy !req
981. What did Montag hope
to get out of all this print?Copy !req
982. Happiness? What a poor idiot
you must have been.Copy !req
983. This gibberish is enough
to drive a man mad.Copy !req
984. Thought you could learn
from these how to walk
on the waters, did you?Copy !req
985. Montag must learn
to think a little.Copy !req
986. Consider how all these writings, all
these recipes for happiness disagree.Copy !req
987. Now let this heap of contradictions
burn itself out.Copy !req
988. You know it's we who,
at this moment, are working
for man's happiness.Copy !req
989. Look, isn't that lovely?
The pages...Copy !req
990. like flower petals or butterflies,
luminous and black.Copy !req
991. Who can explain the fascination of fire?
What draws us to it?Copy !req
992. Whether we're young or old.Copy !req
993. Nothing to say?
That's the spirit.Copy !req
994. - That's real wisdom.
- He still has one.Copy !req
995. What have you got there?
Is this your special book?Copy !req
996. It's got to be burned with
the others, and you're under arrest.Copy !req
997. Montag.Copy !req
998. Get out of there!Copy !req
999. Everybody,
out of here quick! He's gone mad!Copy !req
1000. Right now! Go!Copy !req
1001. Watch for a man running
through the streets.Copy !req
1002. Repeating.
Calling all citizens.Copy !req
1003. Wanted for murder: Montag.Copy !req
1004. Fireman.Copy !req
1005. The criminal is alone
and on foot.Copy !req
1006. Let each one stand
at his front door.Copy !req
1007. Look and listen.Copy !req
1008. Watch for a man running
through the streets.Copy !req
1009. Repeating.
Calling all citizens.Copy !req
1010. Wanted for murder: Montag.Copy !req
1011. Fireman.Copy !req
1012. The criminal is alone
and on foot.Copy !req
1013. Let each one stand
at his front door.Copy !req
1014. Look and listen.Copy !req
1015. - I am, uh-
- Yes, we know who you are.Copy !req
1016. You're the man
of the hour. Come.Copy !req
1017. - Come and witness your own capture.
- My capture?Copy !req
1018. That's right.
Our beautiful cousin is being...Copy !req
1019. particularly
entertaining today.Copy !req
1020. You'll see.Copy !req
1021. Oh, I beg your pardon.Copy !req
1022. I am The Journal
of Henri Brilard by Stendhal.Copy !req
1023. Montag is still at large,
but time is running out fast.Copy !req
1024. Ah, there it is.Copy !req
1025. The Aerial Patrol
has sighted the wanted man.Copy !req
1026. They can't keep the viewers
waiting much longer.Copy !req
1027. The show must go on.
They'll find somebody.Copy !req
1028. Anybody will do to provide them
with their climax.Copy !req
1029. - There he is.
- You can see him clearly now.Copy !req
1030. There is Montag,
running headlong into the trap...Copy !req
1031. scurrying about
like a frightened rat.Copy !req
1032. Just look at him, cousins.Copy !req
1033. It's all over, cousins. Montag is dead.Copy !req
1034. A crime against society
has been avenged.Copy !req
1035. They never showed
the man's face properly.
It was too far away, of course.Copy !req
1036. Even your friends are bound
to believe you're dead.Copy !req
1037. Here. You may as well
shed your old skin.Copy !req
1038. "The moon was shining sulkily...Copy !req
1039. "Because she thought the sun...Copy !req
1040. "Had got no business to be there...Copy !req
1041. "After the day was done.Copy !req
1042. 'It's very rude of him, 'she said."Copy !req
1043. Are you interested
in Plato's Republic?Copy !req
1044. - Uh-
- Well, I am Plato's Republic.Copy !req
1045. - I'll recite myself for you
whenever you like.
- Thank you very much.Copy !req
1046. Now here's Wuthering Heights
by Emily Bronte.Copy !req
1047. And here's The Corsair
by Byron.Copy !req
1048. She used to be married
to a chief of police.Copy !req
1049. Now that skinny fellow
is Alice In Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.Copy !req
1050. Where's Alice Through
the Looking-Glass today?
She should be somewhere about.Copy !req
1051. There's Pilgrim's Progress
by John Bunyan.Copy !req
1052. He ate his book
so they couldn't burn it.Copy !req
1053. Waiting For Godot
by Samuel Beckett.Copy !req
1054. Oh, you see the little blonde
coming towards us? Watch her blush.Copy !req
1055. I'm Jean-Paul Sartre's
The Jewish Question.
Delighted to meet you.Copy !req
1056. I'm The Martian Chronicles
by Ray Bradbury.Copy !req
1057. - Allow me to introduce-
- Oh. May I?Copy !req
1058. - The Pickwick Papers, Charles Dickens.
- Oh, Charles Dickens.Copy !req
1059. Once I read a book
he wrote:Copy !req
1060. - David Copperfield.
- We have a David Copperfield
amongst us.Copy !req
1061. He's with another group
in the south.Copy !req
1062. - I am The Prince by Machiavelli.
- Oh.Copy !req
1063. As you see, you can't
judge a book by its cover.Copy !req
1064. I am Jane Austen's
Pride and Prejudice.Copy !req
1065. Both of you the same book?Copy !req
1066. - My brother is volume one.
- My brother is volume two.Copy !req
1067. It's a great pleasure
to meet you.Copy !req
1068. We call the first one Pride.Copy !req
1069. The other one's Prejudice.
I don't think they like it much.Copy !req
1070. Here, we're only 50 or so,
but there are many, many more
scattered around.Copy !req
1071. In abandoned railway yards,
wandering the roads.Copy !req
1072. Tramps outwardly,
but, inwardly, libraries.Copy !req
1073. Oh, it wasn't planned.Copy !req
1074. It just so happened that a man here
and a man there loved some book.Copy !req
1075. And rather than lose it,
he learned it.Copy !req
1076. And we came together.Copy !req
1077. We're a minority of undesirables
crying out in the wilderness.Copy !req
1078. But it won't always be so.Copy !req
1079. One day we shall be called on, one
by one, to recite what we've learned.Copy !req
1080. And then books
will be printed again.Copy !req
1081. And when the next
age of darkness comes...Copy !req
1082. those who come after us
will do again as we have done.Copy !req
1083. - I have one with me.
- Yes?Copy !req
1084. What is it?
Let me see.Copy !req
1085. "Tales of Mystery And Imagination
by Edgar Allen Poe."Copy !req
1086. - Learn it quickly,
so that we can burn it.
- You burn it?Copy !req
1087. We have to, so that no one
can take them away from us.Copy !req
1088. Yes, we burn the books.Copy !req
1089. But we keep them up here
where nobody can find them.Copy !req
1090. As a matter of fact, we've just burned
The Memoirs of Saint Simon.Copy !req
1091. You see, Montag, that man over there
hasn't much longer to live.Copy !req
1092. He's The Weir of Hermiston
by Robert Louis Stevenson.
The boy is his nephew.Copy !req
1093. He's now reciting himself,
so the boy can become the book.Copy !req
1094. "'I will be very quiet,' replied Archie.
And I will be boldly frank.Copy !req
1095. I do not love my father. I wonder
sometimes if I do not hate him."Copy !req
1096. "'I will be very quiet,' replied Archie.
And I will be boldly frank.Copy !req
1097. I do not love my father. I wonder
sometimes if I do not hate him."Copy !req
1098. "There's my shame,
perhaps my sin.Copy !req
1099. At least, and in the sight
of God, not my fault."Copy !req
1100. "There's my shame,
perhaps my sin.Copy !req
1101. At least, and in the sight
of God, not my fault."Copy !req
1102. "How was I to love him? 'Copy !req
1103. "He has never spoken to me,
never smiled upon me.Copy !req
1104. I do not think
he ever touched me."Copy !req
1105. "How was I to love him? He has never
spoken to me, never smiled upon me.Copy !req
1106. And I do not think
he ever touched me."Copy !req
1107. "He was more afraid of death
than of anything else."Copy !req
1108. "And he died
as he thought he would...Copy !req
1109. while the first snows
of winter fell."Copy !req
1110. "He was more afraid of death
than of anything else."Copy !req
1111. - "And he died..."
- "And he died while the first..."Copy !req
1112. - "He died as he thought-"
- "And he died as he thought-"Copy !req
1113. - "As he thought he would."
- "As he thought he would...Copy !req
1114. while the first snows
of winter fell."Copy !req
1115. "'I will be very quiet,' replied Archie.
And I will be boldly frank.Copy !req
1116. "I do not love my father. I wonder
sometimes if I do not hate him.Copy !req
1117. "There's my shame,
perhaps my sin.Copy !req
1118. "At least, and in the sight

1119. "How was I to love him? He has never

1122. "And he died as he
thought he would...Copy !req
1123. while the first snows
of winter fell."Copy !req
1124. "I'm going to relate
a tale full of horror."Copy !req
1125. - "I would gladly suppress it,
were it not a chronicle."Copy !req
1126. "Now, how much there is
to tell..."Copy !req
