DEEP SPACE NINE: "The Visitor" - REV. 08/22/95 TEASER 5.
2 CONTINUED: (5)
MELANIE (Cont'd)
I'd finally found someone whose
writing I really admired, and he'd
only published two books.
Jake smiles wryly.
OLD JAKE
Not much to show for a life's
work, is it? I'm going to get us
some tea.
MELANIE
I savored those stories, read them
slowly, one each day. And when I
was finished, I wished I hadn't
read them at all.
Jake looks at her quizzically. Melanie realizes how
that must have sounded and quickly explains herself.
MELANIE
So that I could read them again...
like it was the first time.
Jake smiles, nods that he understands. As he sits down
with the tray...
OLD JAKE
There's only one "first time" for
everything, isn't there?
(considers)
And only one last time, too. You
think about that when you get to
be my age. That today might be
the last time you... sit in a
favorite chair... watch the rain
fall... enjoy a cup of tea.
Melanie looks at him, then cautiously asks the question
that brought her here.
MELANIE
(softly)
Can I ask you something... ?
He nods that she go ahead...
MELANIE
Why did you stop writing?
He looks at her for a moment.
