1. Captain Beatty tells Montag that firemen are the “happiness boys” and that they are custodians of “our piece of mind.”
This part of the story was when Montag was having doubts about his job and if he was doing the right thing by being a fireman. That is why Captain Beatty came to his house to clear things up for him and convince him that their job helps others in a great way. Beatty tells Montag that the greatest thing anyone could ever get out of life is happiness. Therefore, a job of a fireman is to make everyone happy. Beatty said, "Colored people don't like Little Black Sambo. Burn it. White people don't feel good about Uncle Tom's Cabin. Burn it." Basically, captain beatty just wanted guy to burn all his books.
