"Are you happy?" she said. "Am I what?" he cried. But she was gone- running in the moonlight. Her front door shut gently."
This is the conversation that plants the original seed of doubt in Montag's mind that the society he lives in is correct. Clarisse asks him if he is happy, and her simple question results in hours of Montag pondering his life. From this, he comes to the conclusion that he is not happy, and every event following throughout the book is a result of this question.
