STAR TREK CREATOR CHALLENGE
Week 10 - Iconic Line or Moment
Far Beyond the Stars | DS9 6x13
[ID: Ten gifs from Star Trek Deep Space Nine featuring Benjamin Sisko as Benny Russell, a science fiction writer in the 1950s. He is clearly agitated as he speaks.
He says, “I am a human being, damn it. You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists! That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here. In my mind, I created it.
And every one of you know it. You read it. It’s here. You hear what I’m telling you? You can pulp a story, but you cannot destroy an idea.
Don’t you understand? That’s ancient knowledge. You cannot destroy an idea. That future, I created it, and it’s real! Don’t you understand? It is real! I created it, and it’s real! It’s real!”

Original Dialogue:
BENNY: You’re firing me?
PABST: I have no choice, Benny. It’s his decision.
BENNY: Well, you can’t fire me. I quit. To hell with you, and to hell with Stone.
JULIUS: Try to stay calm, Benny.
BENNY: No. I’m tired of being calm. Calm never gotten me a damn thing.
PABST: I’m warning you, Benny. If you don’t stop this I’m going to call the police.
BENNY: You go ahead! Call them! Call anybody you want. They can’t do anything to me. Not anymore. And nor can any of you. I am a human being, damn it. You can deny me all you want but you cannot deny Ben Sisko. He exists! That future, that space station, all those people, they exist in here. In my mind, I created it. And every one of you know it.

Original Dialogue:
BENNY: No, 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 coloured man.
PABST: Hey! This magazine belongs to Mister Stone. 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.
