"ONCE UPON A TIME,
THERE WAS A POOR WOODCUTTER
WHOSE NAME WAS--"
:56:16
THEY CAN'T HAVE
MY BOOKS. THEY'LL
NEVER TAKE THEM AWAY.
:56:19
MONTAG, I THINK
YOU SHOULD SEE THIS.
[ Montag ] YES, SIR.
:56:24
COME ON ! QUICKLY !
:56:27
THIS IS A REAL EYEFUL.
:56:32
AH, MONTAG.
I KNEW IT. I KNEW IT.
:56:36
OF COURSE, ALL THIS--
THE EXISTENCE OF A SECRET...
:56:39
LIBRARY WAS KNOWN
IN HIGH PLACES,
:56:42
BUT THERE WAS NO WAY
OF GETTING AT IT.
:56:45
ONLY ONCE BEFORE HAVE I SEEN
SO MANY BOOKS IN ONE PLACE.
:56:48
I WAS JUST
AN ORDINARY FIREMAN
AT THE TIME.
:56:52
I WASN'T EVEN QUALIFIED
TO USE THE FLAMETHROWER.
:56:57
IT'S ALL OURS, MONTAG.
:57:02
LISTEN TO ME, MONTAG.
:57:04
ONCE TO EACH FIREMAN,
AT LEAST ONCE IN HIS CAREER,
:57:07
HE JUST ITCHES
TO KNOW WHAT THESE
BOOKS ARE ALL ABOUT.
:57:09
HE JUST ACHES TO KNOW.
ISN'T THAT SO ?
:57:12
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, MONTAG,
THERE'S NOTHING THERE.
:57:16
THE BOOKS HAVE NOTHING
TO SAY !
:57:22
LOOK, THESE ARE ALL NOVELS.
:57:24
ALL ABOUT PEOPLE
THAT NEVER EXISTED.
:57:28
THE PEOPLE THAT READ THEM,
IT MAKES THEM UNHAPPY
WITH THEIR OWN LIVES,
:57:32
MAKES THEM WANT
TO LIVE IN OTHER WAYS
THAT CAN NEVER REALLY BE.
:57:39
[ Glass Shattering ]
WHAT'S HAPPENING ?
:57:41
THIS HOUSE IS CONDEMNED.
THEY SAID TO BURN THE BOOKS
HERE WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.
:57:44
BURNING THE HOUSE IS ONE THING.
BURNING THE BOOKS IS ANOTHER,
ISN'T IT ?
:57:47
IT'S NEVER ANY GOOD
BURNING EVERYTHING TOGETHER.
:57:50
COME ON, MONTAG.
ALL THIS PHILOSOPHY,
LET'S GET RID OF IT.
:57:55
IT'S EVEN WORSE
THAN THE NOVELS.
:57:58
THINKERS, PHILOSOPHERS,
ALL OF THEM SAYING EXACTLY
THE SAME THING:
