Sisko/Benny Dialogue in the "Incredible tales Magazine" office (before the breakdown):
- -Who's winning?
- -... the matches? I gave them to you.
- The latest Galaxy
- I'll think of something.
- I suppose I'm sleeping late that day, too.
- What about James Baldwin, Richard Wright, Zora Neal Hurston, Langston Hughes? Ever heard of Native Son?
- Wishing never changed a damn thing.
- I'll try to remember that
- I did. Surprised?
- Why not?
- What's wrong with that?
- Easy.
- But I want people to read it now.
- But that's not what I wrote.
- What about my story?
- Lately, I've been asking myself the same question.
- What's that?
- I think it's better than chalk on the sidewalk...
- I'm okay.
- A novel -- congratulations! Robots?
- He can't do that!
- And what's that supposed to mean?
- You still haven't said what he didn't like. The artwork? The layout? Exactly what "high standards" is he talking about?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.
- That doesn't make it right and you know it.
- You're firing me?
- That's my drawing.
- I work here.
- In there.
- It's a drawing of a space station. See -- it's not worth anything, except to me.
- What happened?
- (re: Jimmy) I know him -
- Is that why you shot him? For breaking into a car?
- A crowbar?Is it here?
