A scene from Fahrenheit 451 1966
Guy Montag

Well then it wasn't the analyst. It was the staff that wanted to get rid of you because you are different. Look at that fellow over there.

Clarisse

What's he doing?

Guy Montag

That's the information box. He can't make up his mind.

Clarisse

What's he want to find out?

Guy Montag

He doesn't want to find out anything. He knows someone who has books. So he got hold of the person's picture and number, and is going to drop it into that box.

Clarisse

But he's an informer!

Guy Montag

No, he's an informant. Look at him. Like someone circling around a woman.

Clarisse

He's putting something in his mouth.

Guy Montag

It's a stimulant to work up his nerve.
