- Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts.
- And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear.
- They were burdened with sash weights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in.
- If I was Diana Moon Glampers, said Hazel, I'd have chimes on Sunday-just chimes. Kind of in honor of religion.
- I could think, if it was just chimes, said George.
- he wore a tremendous pair of earphones, and spectacles with thick wavy lenses. The spectacles were intended to make him not only half blind, but to give him whanging headaches besides.
- Scrap metal was hung all over him...And to offset his good looks, the H-G men required that he wear at all times a red rubber ball for a nose, keep his eyebrows shaved off, and cover his even white teeth with black caps at snaggletooth random.
- It was then that Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, came into the studio with adouble-barreled ten-gauge shotgun. She fired twice, and the Emperor and the Empress were deadbefore they hit the floor.
- And then, neutraling gravity with love and pure will, they remained suspended in air inches below the ceiling, and they kissed each other for a long, long time.
- Vonnegut uses this to ridicule the idea of equality. The idea that everyone is created equal is rather absurd. Rather than pushing people to do greater, we want those who are better in some way to do less. A society full of equality would be a stagnant society. There have to be groups of people who are better than others at specific things. Society talks about wanting equality for everyone but how realistic is it when everyone is not created the same? The only way to have 100% equality would be to live in world full of programmable robots.
