DEEP SPACE NINE: "Far Beyond... " - REV. 12/10/97 - ACT FIVE    54.

					BENNY
				(his anger rising) 
			You still haven't said what he 
			didn't like. The artwork? The 
			layout? Exactly what "high 
			standards" is he talking about?

					KAY 
			Take it easy, Benny.

	Benny ignores the warning. He's focused on Pabst. All 
	the frustrations, all the indignities he's suffered 
	come boiling to the surface.

					BENNY 
			It's about my story, isn't it? 
			That's what this is all about. 
			He didn't want to publish my 
			story -- and we all know why. 
			Because my hero is a colored man.

					PABST 
			Hey -- Mister Stone owns this 
			magazine. If he doesn't want to 
			publish this month -- we don't 
			publish this month. End of story.

					BENNY 
			That doesn't make it right and you 
			know it.

					PABST 
			Don't tell me what I know. 
			Besides, it's not about what's 
			right -- it's about what is.

	Pabst takes a deep breath, he's not done handing out 
	the bad news.

					PABST 
			I'm afraid I have some more bad 
			news, Benny. Mister Stone has 
			decided your services are no 
			longer required here.

	That only fuels Benny's anger.

					BENNY 
			You're firing me?
