					BENNY 
			You hear what I'm telling you? 
			You can pulp the story but you 
			can't destroy the idea. That 
			future is real -- I made it real! 
				(louder) 
			You hear me -- it's real! 
				(still louder) 
			It's real! It's real!

	The last "real" becomes a sustained HOWL.

70   EXT. NEW YORK STREET - DAY

	A crowd has gathered around an ambulance waiting at 
	the steps of the office building, its back doors 
	hanging open. After a beat, TWO AMBULANCE ORDERLIES 
	emerge from the building pulling a gurney. Strapped 
	to the gurney is a semi-comatose Benny. Albert, Kay, 
	Julius, Herbert, Darlene, and Pabst follow the gurney 
	to the ambulance.

	Benny is placed into the ambulance, and the doors are 
	shut behind him.

71   INT./EXT. AMBULANCE - DAY

	Benny lies on the gurney as a hand comes to rest on his 
	arm. Benny looks up to see the Preacher sitting beside 
	him, offering a comforting smile.

					PREACHER 
			Rest easy, Brother Benny.

72   ON BENNY

	as his eyes open. He's dressed in Sisko's uniform.

					PREACHER 
			You've walked in the path of the 
			Prophets. There is no greater 
			glory.

	Benny looks down at himself, sees the uniform, then 
	looks back up at the Preacher.

					BENNY
			Tell me, please. Who am I?
