A quote from the book would be, when Montag was standing in the hall for a long time waiting for a response from Mildred; he asked “Do you want to go out tonight for a dinner?”, but she was too busy “reading her script in the TV parlor room”, and takes a while to answer his question. People in this society are unhappy; they just do not realize it. Sometimes they have trouble...
