[Clarisse] I think we're neighbors. I live near block 813. Isn't that where you live? [Montag] Yes, I do. [Clarisse] Do you know we make the same trip together almost every day? [Montag] Do we? [Clarisse] Hmm. That's why I thought to myself, well, we ought to talk to each other. Do you mind? Me talking, I mean. [Montag] No, no, go ahead. Talk. I can't promise to think of anything to answer though. [Clarisse] [Laughs] Don't you worry about that. Once I get started, nothing can stop me. My uncle says I am a veritable well of words. [Montag] Hasn't this uncle of yours ever warned you never to speak to strangers? [Clarisse] No. He did say once if anyone asked how old I was to say I was 20 years old and light in the head. They always go together. [Montag] "Light in the head"? [Clarisse] Mmm. Loopy. Crazy. Anyway, you don't frighten me. [Montag] Why should I? [Clarisse] No reason really. The uniform, I suppose. [Monorail hisses] [Clarisse] Most people are ... frightened, frightened of firemen. [Montag] This is my stop now. [Clarisse] Mine too. Are you an officer? |
