[Benny's apartment]
(A small neat place, with an upright piano and plenty of books. There's even a phases of the moon picture on the wall. Benny gets a bottle of milk from the fridge then settles down at his typewriter. He types 'Captain Benjamin Sisko sat looking out the window'. Benny looks up raises the blind and sees Sisko reflected in his own window. He rubs his eyes and he's gone, then he carries on typing.)

BENNY: How about scrambling those eggs today?
CASSIE: That's great, baby. I got some good news, too. I talked to Mrs Jackson last night and she's serious about retiring in the next couple of years. I asked her about selling this place to us and she said that she would be willing.
CASSIE: And how much money have you earned doing that?
BENNY: I've only been working at it for a few years.
CASSIE: A few years? More like fifteen, if you count all those stories you wrote in the Navy.
