of the Star Trek characters.
:56:02
This is going to be
kind of like Christmas,

:56:04
ripping open
all these packages and stuff.

:56:07
She just got me
hooked on the cards.

:56:09
I've just become addicted.
:56:10
I told you, all you have to do
is buy one pack.

:56:13
You just buy one pack,
and you're automatically addicted.

:56:15
I've been in printing
now for 11 years.

:56:18
I work in the bindery department.
:56:21
Woman: A lot of people
do think she's strange,

:56:22
and they'll say, "What kind
of person is she really?"

:56:24
And honestly, she's very
well-educated and intelligent.

:56:28
She takes her job responsibilities
very seriously.

:56:31
She's a good worker.
:56:33
But I think a lot of people think
she's not very intelligent,

:56:37
whereas, really, she is.
:56:38
Man: Bobby is
a little bit eccentric,

:56:42
but it's a good quality
kind of eccentricity.

:56:45
The customers do think it's
a little bit strange sometimes,
but they get a kick out of it.

:56:48
Everyone's got their quirks,
:56:50
and we just
work around and with those.

:56:57
When I first came
into the shop,

:56:59
I was going around meeting everyone
and getting names,

:57:02
and I got to Bobby, and they said,
"This is the commander."

:57:06
Commander, do we have enough
of that 80-pound rich gloss
for Tippen's calendar?

:57:12
Going to be about 35. OK.
:57:13
Y eah.
:57:14
Thank you.
:57:15
Man: Commander.
:57:16
Y es? Which job is that?
:57:19
Woman: When she first came to work here
and I called her "girlfriend,"

:57:22
she made some comment that
she didn't really like that,

:57:24
and I said, "What would you
prefer I call you?"

:57:26
I said, "My rank is commander.
I'm a lieutenant commander."

:57:30
She said, "Oh! Commander.
That's what I'll call you."

:57:32
When I asked her why,
:57:34
she started telling me all about this
Star Trek that she was into big time,

:57:38
and she was commander
of some spaceship here locally.

:57:41
Crosby: Did she explain what
these things were that she was wearing?

:57:44
Woman: Y es,
but don't ask me what they are.

:57:45
One's a phaser,
and it beams her up,

:57:48
and the other's
something else.

:57:51
I've never gotten any negative
response from it,

:57:53
and some of our customers, especially
since the trial, I think recognize me,

:57:57
but they don't usually
say anything.

:57:59
Has it encouraged you
to watch Star Trek some more?
