When Liberty 5-3000 says, "You are not one of our brothers, Equality 7-2521, for we do not wish you to be," she suggests that Equality 7-2521 is different from the rest of their collective society and that they do not accept him as one of their own. The double meaning behind her statement lies in the fact that while Liberty 5-3000 may not wish Equality 7-2521 to be one of their brothers, she personally desires him to be more than just a brother. This implies a romantic or emotional connection that goes beyond the strictly regulated relationships allowed in their society.
