    DEEP SPACE NINE: "Far Beyond... " - REV. 12/10/97 - ACT THREE    34.
                           ACT THREE                            

	FADE IN:

39   INT. HARLEM COFFEE SHOP - DAY

	An even more tired and dejected Benny sits at the 
	counter, drinking a cup of coffee. Jimmy sits beside 
	him, casually spinning himself around on the stool. 
	Cassie refills Benny's cup.

					CASSIE 
			I'm sorry they didn't buy your 
			story, baby. Really I am.

					JIMMY
				(to Benny) 
			I told you you were wasting your 
			time.
				(shaking his head) 
			A colored captain... the only 
			reason they'll ever let us 
			space is if they need someone to 
			shine their shoes. Ain't that 
			right, Cassie?

					CASSIE 
			I don't know and to be honest, I 
			don't much care what happens a 
			hundred years from now. It's 
			today that matters.

					JIMMY 
			Well I got news for you... today 
			or a hundred years from now don't 
			make a bit of difference -- as far 
			as they're concerned, we'll always 
			be niggers.

					BENNY 
			Things are going to change. They 
			have to.

					JIMMY
				(not buying it for a 
				second) 
			You keep telling yourself that.

	Jimmy pushes himself off the stool and walks off.
