FAHRENHEIT 451 -- ILLUSTRATED SCREENPLAY & SCREENCAP GALLERY

[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?
