	Establishing.

16   INT. MAGAZINE OFFICE

	The brain center of Incredible Tales -- a fairly 
	successful science fiction magazine of the time. The 
	walls are lined with blown-up covers of past issues. 
	A series of small cubbyhole offices line the room, with 
	a larger, glass-enclosed office in the back. This 
	belongs to the magazine's editor, Douglas Pabst. In 
	the center of the room is a round table where the 
	writers gather, get their assignments and basically 
	shoot the breeze. At the moment, there are three 
	people at the table:

	JULIUS and KAY EATON (Bashir and Kira without her 
	Bajoran nose and earring), a husband and wife writing 
	team, are seated drinking coffee. Julius is a refined, 
	elegantly dressed Englishman wearing an ascot, a 
	cigarette holder clutched in his hand. His wife, Kay, 
	sits perched on a table. She's a no-nonsense 
	attractive woman, with a cutting sense of humor.

	Also present is HERBERT ROSSOFF (Quark without makeup), 
	as opinionated and feisty a gent that ever set pen to 
	paper. He's also the best writer of the group and he 
	knows it.

	CLOSE ON Julius and Kay at the table. Kay is carefully 
	spooning in two tablespoons of a granulated mixture 
	into a glass pitcher of water. She stirs the mixture 
	and the water turns a tannish brown.

					KAY 
			Voila. A pitcher of plain water 
			instantly becomes a pitcher of ice 
			tea.

					JULIUS 
				(impressed) 
			Incredible.
