- Huh
- That was a really pretty dance, that dance they just did.
- Ladies and Gentlemen, said the ballerina, reading the bulletin. She must have been extraordinarily beautiful, because the mask she wore was hideous. And it was easy to see that she was the strongest and most graceful of all dancers, for her handicap bags were as big as those worn by two-hundred pound men.
- Harrison Bergeron, age fourteen, she said in a grackle squawk, has just escaped from jail, where he was held on suspicion of plotting to overthrow the government. He is a genius and an athlete, is under-handicapped, and should be regarded as extremely dangerous.
- It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with a double-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were dead before they hit the floor.
- You can say that again.
- Gee - I could tell that one was a doozy.
- In his story Harrison Bergeron, Kurt Vonnegut makes the point that the world will never be equal no matter how much everyone tries. He establishes this by demonstrating how Harrison Bergeron changed back to himself after escaping jail and how he made others change back to who they are in the process as well. This shows that people are all equal and that it isn't one's appearance or abilities that distinguish them. Vonnegut uses this to ridicule those who believe that everybody should change who they are in order to be equal to or make others feel equal to everyone else.
