Man: I drove down
from Calgary today

1:10:05
to take a look
at the starship Enterprise,

1:10:08
The model that we have here
in Vulcan, Alberta.

1:10:12
I'm really impressed with
the beautiful job they've done on it,

1:10:15
and I think it's really great
that here in Canada,

1:10:18
the town of Vulcan has adopted
1:10:20
the Star Trek theme.
1:10:22
Man: We really enjoy
having people

1:10:24
from all over the world to talk with and
share with us their stories of Star Trek

1:10:29
and the things that
they've been involved with.

1:10:32
Woman: I'm visiting Vulcan today
because of the Star Trek convention.

1:10:35
Obviously,
it's a Vulcan community.

1:10:37
My heroes are Spock and Tuvok
and Spock's father.

1:10:41
Man: Some people have fake
or phony Spock ears,

1:10:44
but I have the real thing.
1:10:48
It's been a--as you can imagine,
30 years of amazing experiences,

1:10:55
one after another.
1:10:57
I was at a party once many years ago
that Paramount was giving,

1:11:01
a big promotional party
for a number of their movies,

1:11:03
and all of the stars of these various
films were there, and I was invited.

1:11:07
The place was packed with
people, and it was in New Y ork,

1:11:09
and I felt a pair of hands
on my shoulder.

1:11:12
And, um...somebody
whispered into my ear and said,

1:11:16
"l recognize you.
1:11:18
You had your ears fixed."
1:11:20
And it was John Wayne.
1:11:25
Everybody was doing ear jokes
in those days.

1:11:30
I got a kick out of that.
It was fun.

1:11:33
There is a great deal
of my personality

1:11:36
that is Mr. Spock.
1:11:38
I try to function on logic
and intelligence

1:11:41
and not get carried away
with emotion.

1:11:44
I do consider myself,
as I say, half Vulcan.

1:11:46
I did draw the line, though,
1:11:49
at having my ears
surgically altered to points.

1:11:52
It was just too expensive.
1:11:55
But I'll tell you
the real truth.

1:11:58
