"Far Beyond the Stars" Line-by-Line!

[Alienesse]

BENNY: I suppose I'm sleeping late that day, too.

 

[LeadHead]

Pabst: It's nothing personal Benny, but as far as our readers are concerned, Benny Russell is as white as they are. Lets just keep it that way.

 

[Alienesse]

HERBERT: Oh yes, if the world's not ready for a woman writer, imagine what would happen if it learned about a Negro with a typewriter. Run for the hills! It's the end of civilization.

 

[Enterprise1981]

BENNY: What about W E B du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright? Did you ever heard of Native Son?

 

[Alienesse]

PABST: That's literature for liberals and intellectuals. The average reader's not going to spend his hard earned cash on stories written by Negroes.

 

[Brian]

HERBERT: Would someone please shoot me and put me out of my misery?

 

[Enterprise1981]

JULIUS: How I long for a gun.

 

[Alienesse]

PABST: I'm sorry, Benny. I wish things were different, but they're not.

 

[Enterprise1981]

BENNY: Wishing never changed a damn thing.

 

[LeadHead]

Pabst: Come on, Benny. It's just a photo!

 

[Enterprise1981]

BENNY: I'll try to remember that.

 

[Alienesse]

HERBERT: You're a dog.

 

[LeadHead]

Pabst: All right, enough standing around. Get back to work.

As Benny comes out of the Arthur Trill building, 1290 somewhere, the breeze takes the picture of DS9 down the street where someone steps on it. Benny reaches down for it.

RYAN: (Mark Alaimo) Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What's the hurry?

 

[Enterprise1981]

BENNY: That's my drawing.

 

[LeadHead]

Ryan: Is that so?

 

[Enterprise1981]

MULKAHEY: (Jeffrey Coombs) Nice suit. Where'd you get it?

 

[Alienesse]

BENNY: I bought it. Can I have my drawing back?

 

[Enterprise1981]

RYAN: Hey boy, I'd watch that tone of voice if I were you.

 

[Alienesse]

MULKAHEY: What are you doing around here?
