If we teach the Borg how
to modify their own nanoprobes,

:30:04
they'd have a blueprint to create
a weapon to fight the aliens.

:30:07
Cut!
:30:08
When I am asked to go
to a hospital,

:30:11
it's a specific boy,
:30:12
and he's not going to be there
:30:14
the next time I go
to that hospital,

:30:16
and it means a great deal to him
:30:18
that I be honest with him
:30:20
in that hour that we share
together, you know?

:30:22
That can change your life.
:30:24
There's a woman
who's almost totally paralyzed,

:30:27
and she was able
to just kind of

:30:29
with the help
of an interpreter say,

:30:31
"For the hour
that you are on"--

:30:34
meaning Star Trek is on--
:30:35
"l forget the body
that I am imprisoned in."

:30:40
I got a fan letter
from a young lady.

:30:48
It was a suicide note.
:30:51
So l, uh-- I called her.
:30:54
I said,
"Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan--

:30:58
Scotty of Star Trek."
:31:01
I said, "I'm doing
a convention in lndianapolis.

:31:04
I want to see you there."
:31:08
I saw her.
Boy, I'm telling you--blah.

:31:13
I couldn't believe what I saw.
:31:15
That was--
She was definitely suicidal.

:31:19
You know...
:31:20
somebody had to help her
somehow, you know,

:31:23
and obviously
she wasn't going

:31:25
to the right people,
you know.

:31:29
Anyhow, I said to her--
I said, "I'm doing a convention

:31:33
two weeks from now in St. Louis,
:31:36
and two weeks from then
in something," you know,

:31:40
and then eventually--
she also came to New York.

:31:43
She was able to afford
to go to these places

:31:47
and everything else, so, uh...
:31:49
And then that went on
for 2 or 3 years...

:31:54
maybe 18 times...
:31:56
and all I did was talk
positive things to her,
