Plot
Montag and Mildred were reading in the afternoon, as they were reading the mechanical hound starts to sniff the door witch scares Mildred.
Montag starts to read but then realizes he's not understanding the books so he decides to call Faber who is a University Professor that Montag caught reading at the park about a year ago. Montag calls and asks if there are any Bibles, Shakespeare, or Plato are left in the country.
Faber says that people need quality information, the leisure to digest it, and the freedom to act on what they learn.
Montag suggests planting books in the firemen's homes to show people that the profession is wasted and watch the firehouse burn. But Faber decides this is unnecessary because no one reads books. Faber says they just need to wait and see because the coming war will eventually mean the death of the TV families. Montag concludes that they could use that as a chance to bring books back.
Montag reaches for the bible and without think to intimidate Faber into helping him Montag rips pages out of the bible one by one. When Faber agrees he reveals that he has a friend at the printing office that can help. Montag also asked for help with Beatty so Faber gives him a two way radio that fits in Montag's ear.
