					PABST 
			I have no choice, Benny. It's his 
			decision.

					BENNY 
			Well you can't fire me -- I quit. 
			To hell with Stone and to hell 
			with you.

					JULIUS 
			Try to stay calm.

	Herbert, Albert and Julius come up alongside Benny, 
	trying to get in between him and Pabst.

					BENNY
				(shouting) 
			I'm tired of being calm. Calm's 
			never gotten me a damn thing.

					PABST 
			I'm warning you, Benny -- if you 
			don't stop shouting, I'm calling 
			the cops.

					BENNY 
			Call them! Go ahead! They can't 
			do anything to me. Not anymore. 
			None of you can.

	Benny breaks away from Herbert and the others. 
	Everyone steps back, afraid of what he might do. Benny 
	stands in the middle of the room, the rage pouring out 
	of him. Tears of frustration roll down his face.

					BENNY 
			I'm a human being, dammit! You 
			can deny me all you want but you 
			can't deny Ben Sisko. He exists! 
			That space station -- those 
			people -- that future -- they 
			exist!
				(pointing to his head) 
			In here. And in the minds of 
			everyone of you who read it.

	WE PUSH IN CLOSER AND CLOSER until Benny's anguished 
	face fills the screen.
