TO HAVE A SECOND WALL-SCREEN.

OH, YOU ONLY HAVE

THE ONE WALL CONVERTED. I SEE.

THESE MATTERS OF PROMOTION

ARE MUCH MORE IMPORTAN TO A MARRIED MAN, AREN'T THEY ?

I GUESS SO, SIR.

MONTAG... YOU HAVE

NO CHILDREN, I BELIEVE.

NO, SIR.

WE HAVE NO CHILDREN.

WELL, THEN, A COMMISSION

SEEMS IN ORDER.

I CAN'T SEE ANY REASON OFFHAND

WHY IT SHOULDN'T GO THROUGH.

YOU UNDERSTAND, OF COURSE,

WITH THE NEW AMENDMEN TO THE LAW, WE MUST EXPEC TO BE WORKED REALLY VERY HARD.

VERY HARD, INDEED,

UNTIL WE CAN ARRANGE

FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS

TO BE DRAFTED.

YES, SIR, I HEARD THE MEN

TALKING ABOUT IT.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH US ?

FOR SIX YEARS, SIR.

YES, FOR SIX YEARS.

NO, NO, NO,

FOR FIVE YEARS, SIR.

FOR FIVE YEARS.

MONTAG HAS ONE QUALITY

I APPRECIATE GREATLY.

HE SAYS VERY LITTLE.

HAVE YOU SEEN:

MY PERSONAL MEDALLION ?

IT'S A REMARKABLE LIKENESS.

YOU MUST REMIND ME TO LET YOU

HAVE ONE SOMETIME.

NOW, LET'S GET BACK

TO THIS PROMOTION OF YOURS.

I'VE BEEN LOOKING

THROUGH YOUR FILE.

THERE ARE ONLY SIX BACK VIEWS.

WE NEED 12 OF THEM, YOU KNOW.

TWO SETS OF SIX.

REMEMBER THAT, MONTAG.

[ High-pitched Tone ]

[ Tone Continues ]

[ Tone Continues ]

LINDA ?

UH... MONTAG.

BLOCK 813.

813 ?

UH, JUST A MOMENT.

[ Tone Continues ]

[ Tone Stops ]

HELLO ?

I JUST CAME HOME FROM WORK,

YES.

AND I FOUND HER:

ON THE FLOOR UNCONSCIOUS.

DOES SHE TAKE PILLS ?

OF COURSE !

YESTERDAY, SHE--

JUST A MOMENT.

I'LL CONNECT YOU

WITH POISONING SECTION.

YES.

[ Man ]

POISONING LISTENING.

IT'S ABOUT MY WIFE. SHE--

NAME AND ADDRESS.

UH, MONTAG.

BLOCK 813.

WHAT KIND OF PILLS ?

OH...

UH, JUST A MOMENT.

HELLO ?

YES ?

THEY ARE RED.

OH, AND RED NUMBER TWO.

OH, IT'S A STIMULANT.

IT'S HARMLESS.

SHE'S PROBABLY TAKEN

THE WRONG KIND OF SEDATIVE

ON TOP OF THAT.

OH, JUST A MOMENT.

HELLO ?

YES, LISTENING.

OH, YES, THEY ARE

GOLDEN NUMBER EIGHT.

RIGHT. STAY CLOSE TO HER.

THE AMBULANCE IS ON ITS WAY.

FOUR MINUTES.

WHAT SHOULD I DO

IN THE MEANTIME ?

NOTHING.

WHERE IS THE DOCTOR ?

WHAT DOCTOR ?

THE DOCTOR THA TOOK CARE OF MY WIFE.

NO DOCTORS ON THESE JOBS.

WE DO ALL THE BLOOD JOBS,

ME AND HIM.

NO, IT'S HERE, PLEASE.

THAT'S RIGHT, US.

WHO DID YOU EXPECT ?

CASES LIKE THAT--

WE HANDLE 50 A DAY

LIKE HER.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE WON'T BE THE LAST TONIGHT,

NOT BY A LONG SHOT. NO, SIR.

DON'T YOU WORRY, SIR.

WE'LL GIVE HER A PUMP OU AND FILL HER UP WITH NEW BLOOD.

IN 20 MINUTES,

SHE'LL BE AS GOOD AS NEW.

JUST YOU RELAX.

THIS ISN'T PRETTY

TO LOOK AT.

YOU NEED A STRONG STOMACH.

YOU BETTER WAIT OUT THERE.

YOU JUST LEAVE IT ALL TO US.

WE'LL CALL YOU AS SOON

AS SHE'S DONE.

THIS REGULATOR IS NO AS REGULAR AS IT WAS.

COME HERE:

WITH THAT THING.

FIRST,

GET THE STOCKINGS OFF.

[ Man Chuckling ]

NEVER MIND THAT.

PUT THE DRESS ON THAT CHAIR.

ALL RIGHT, SIR,

YOU CAN COME IN NOW.

SHE'S FRESH AS A DAISY,

GOOD AS GOLD.

SHE'S STILL UNCONSCIOUS.

I WOULDN' SAY THAT, SIR.

YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG.

SHE'S ASLEEP.

NEVER MIND ABOUT HER.

YOUGET TO BED.

BY TOMORROW,

IT'LL ALL BE FORGOTTEN.

[ Montag ]

SHE'LL BE COMPLETELY WELL

BY TOMORROW ?

BETTER THAN THAT.

TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,

SHE'LL BE ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

SHE'LL HAVE AN APPETITE

FOR ALL SORTS OF THINGS.

[ Chuckling ]

THAT'S RIGHT.

SHE'LL BE STARVING.

YOU'LL FIND OUT.

[ Water Running ]

[ Water Continues ]

MY, I'M HUNGRY.

HOW DO YOU FEEL ?

HUNGRY.

REALLY HUNGRY.

I'M ABSOLUTELY STARVING.

I COULD EAT A HORSE.

DO YOU REMEMBER LAST NIGHT ?

YES, WHAT A SLEEP.

I SLEPT LIKE A LOG.

LISTEN...

WHEN I CAME HOME LAST NIGHT,

YOU WERE--

I'M ABSOLUTELY FAMISHED.

LET ME TALK, LINDA,

WILL YOU ?

OH...

OF COURSE, DARLING.

TALK ALL YOU LIKE

IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

GO ON THEN.

WHAT ABOUT LAST NIGHT ?

NOTHING.

I CAN'T REMEMBER.

IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYWAY.

LOOK.

I'VE BOUGHT YOU A PRESEN TO CELEBRATE YOUR--

OH, I FORGET WHAT.

NEVER MIND.

DO YOU LIKE IT ?

ISN'T IT LOVELY ?

DO YOU LIKE IT ?

YES, I DO.

VERY MUCH.

ISN'T IT SMART ?

IT'S THE VERY LATEST.

EVERYONE'S

USING THEM NOW.

CAN I THROW:

YOUR OLD ONE AWAY ?

[ Montag ]

LINDA.

LINDA.

I'VE SOMETHING

TO TELL YOU.

ARE YOU LISTENING,

LINDA ?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?

LINDA ?

[ Thinking ]

DO YOU EVER READ

THE BOOKS YOU BURN ?

HEY, YOU, COME HERE.

BUT SOME BOYS STILL BOYCOT THE BARBERSHOPS.

HERE YOU SEE A MOP-UP SQUAD

AT WORK ON ONE OF THESE MESSY

KNOW-IT-ALLS.

IT ALL GOES TO SHOW

LAW ENFORCEMENT CAN BE FUN.

[ Laughing ]

[ Doorbell Buzzing ]

HOW COME THE DOOR

IS NOT WORKING ?

YOU'RE JUST IN TIME.

DINNER IS NEARLY READY.

MONTAG, WHA ARE YOU DOING ?

I'M COMING.

[ Sighs ]

OH !

A GIRL WHO USED TO WAIT...

FOR A SOLDIER...

BY A BARRACK GATE.

- WHAT'S HAPPENED ?

- YOU REMEMBER THE ANALYST,

HOW WORRIED I WAS ?

MM-HMM.

I WAS RIGHT TO BE WORRIED.

I'VE BEEN DISMISSED.

WHY ? WHAT REASON

DID THEY GIVE ?

NONE AT ALL.

JUST AN OFFICIAL CALL.

SERVICES NO LONGER REQUIRED.

I'M NEVER TO GO

TO THE SCHOOL ANYMORE.

THEY MUST GIVE YOU A REASON.

MAKE THEM TELL YOU WHY.

GO TO THE SCHOOL AND ASK.

I CAN'T DO THAT.

ANYWAY, WHO KNOWS

WHAT THEY MAY HAVE SAID

ABOUT ME TO THE CHILDREN.

STRANGE.

I WONDER WHAT YOU SAID

I DON'T ALWAYS STICK
