[Montag] Oh, no. Not yet. An officer has to -- I'm going to be promoted soon. [Clarisse] Even with my eyes closed, I could tell what you do for a job.
[Montag] Because of the smell of kerosene? [Clarisse] Huh.
[Montag] Quite a scent, isn't it? My wife doesn't like it very much. She says it lingers. I don't mind. I think of it as a ... perfume. [Clarisse] Perfume? [Montag] Yes, a perfume, like any other. [Clarisse] I don't think I've seen your wife. What's she like?
[Montag] She's rather like you, except her hair is long. [Clarisse] Rather like me? [Montag] Quite like you. [Clarisse] [Laughs] Tell me, that number you all wear, what's it mean? [Montag] Oh, Fahrenheit 451. [Clarisse] Why 451 rather than 813 or 121? [Montag] Fahrenheit 451 is the temperature at which book paper catches fire and starts to burn. |
