Harris' execution is specifically remembered for his choice of final words (recorded by Warden Daniel Vasquez): "You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everybody dances with the grim reaper." It was the subject of a 1995 Dutch documentary film, ''Procedure 769'', witness to an execution. This is a misquote of a line used in the 1991 film ''Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey'': "You might be a king or a little street sweeper but sooner or later you dance with the reaper."
