     DEEP SPACE NINE: "Far Beyond... " - REV. 12/10/97 - ACT TWO     33.

37   ANGLE ON PABST

	as he grabs a new illustration of Roy's from the table. 
	This one depicts a family being sold a used rocketship 
	by a particularly oily alien salesman. He offers the 
	drawing to Benny.

					PABST 
			Here, write me a novella based on 
			this drawing and I'll print it in 
			next month's issue. Do a good job 
			and you might even get the cover.

					BENNY
				(holding up his 
				manuscript) 
			What about my story?

					PABST 
			The way I see it, you can either 
			burn it or you can put it in a 
			drawer for fifty years or however 
			long it takes the human race to 
			become colorblind.

					BENNY 
			But I want people to read it now.

					PABST 
			Fine. You want me to publish it? 
			Then make the captain white.

					BENNY
			But that's not what I wrote.

					PABST
				(a shrug)
			It's your call..

	Pabst turns and heads back to his office.

38   CLOSE ON BENNY

	as he contemplates these distasteful alternatives. And 
	on his expression of inner turmoil, we:

									FADE OUT.
