In Part Two, Montag visits Faber's home in hopes of gaining insight into how to comprehend the texts that he is reading. Throughout their conversation, Faber explains to Montag how and why society has rejected the literary arts. Faber clearly values literature and even suggests how Montag could possibly topple the firemen structure from within. Montag is intrigued after he hears Faber's plan, but Faber insists that it would be certain suicide to challenge the government. Before leaving, Montag begins to rip pages out of the Bible that he brought. Faber responds by urging him to stop immediately before finally agreeing to help Montag. Faber then opens his bedroom door and leads Montag into a small chamber, where the green bullet is sitting on a table. Faber then says,
"I've waited, trembling, half a lifetime for someone to speak to me. I dared speak to no one. That day in the park when we sat together, I knew that some day you might drop by, with fire or friendship, it was hard to guess" (Bradbury, 43).
Faber's comment proves that he is a courageous man. Giving Montag his address in the park that fateful day was an extremely dangerous thing to do. Fortunately, in Montag, Faber found an ally he could trust.
