Most of the furnishings had been stolen from the Sears & Roebuck warehouse in Iowa City, Iowa. There was a color television set and a couch that could be converted into a bed. There were end tables with lamps and ashtrays on them by the couch. There was a home bar and two stools. There was a little pool table. There was wall-to-wall carpeting in federal gold, except in the kitchen and bathroom areas and over the iron manhole cover in the center of the floor. There were magazines arranged in a fan on the coffee table in front of the couch. There was a stereophonic phonograph. The phonograph worked. The television didn't. There was a picture of one cowboy shooting another one pasted to the television tube. So it goes. There were no wall in the dome, nor place for Billy to hide. The mint green bathroom fixtures were right out in the open. Billy got off his lounge chair now, went into the bathroom and took a leak. The crowd went wild.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kurt Vonnegut" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/kurt-vonnegut/billy-was-displayed-there-in-the-zoo-in-a-simulated-earthling-habitat/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/afc/kurt-vonnegut-41_quote_billy-was-displayed-there-in-the-zoo-in_250077.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/afc/kurt-vonnegut-41_quote_billy-was-displayed-there-in-the-zoo-in_250077.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/afc/kurt-vonnegut-41_quote_billy-was-displayed-there-in-the-zoo-in_250077.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Billy was displayed there in the zoo in a simulated Earthling habitat.
