DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Muse" - REV. 02/22/96 - ACT ONE 10. 9 CONTINUED: (4) LWAXANA Thank you, Odo. You don't know what this means to me. ODO (more to himself) No... but I know what it means to me... She pulls back, looks at him questioningly, and he musters a reassuring smile... off Odo's features as he contemplates what he's in for... 9A EXT. SPACE - DEEP SPACE NINE (OPTICAL) Re-establishing. 10 INT. REPLIMAT where Jake is sitting at a table having a glass of juice and working on a new story with a PADD and stylus. 11 NEW ANGLE to reveal Onaya watching him from out on the Promenade. She studies Jake for a moment before starting toward the Replimat. Jake is so intent on his PADD he doesn't notice her pass, get a CUP from the replicator, and take a seat near his. She watches him work for a beat, then finally speaks to him. Her voice is alluring, full of mystery... ONAYA You're a writer... He looks up at the sound of her voice and his face brightens when he realizes it's her. ONAYA I could see it in your eyes... they were somewhere else. A place you were... inventing. Jake is a bit embarrassed by her attention, but mostly, he's intrigued by her. JAKE I'm working on a story... She looks at him, smiles.
