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
I...
1:12:00
If I had the money,
I would do it.

1:12:03
I don't march
to the regular drummer.

1:12:06
You would go through the pain
of having your ears surgically altered?

1:12:10
Yeah. I really would.
1:12:11
And it's not so much...
1:12:14
Yeah. I really would.
1:12:16
I like to be different,
1:12:19
and this is a unique way
of being different,

1:12:22
and it's a noninvasive,
1:12:24
nonharmful way
of being different.

1:12:27
And even if I have
pointed ears,

1:12:29
I can still function in the world
in whatever I do.

1:12:32
It just makes me
that much more different,

1:12:34
and I would think
in a positive way.

1:12:36
But I don't think I'll be out,
you know, getting it tomorrow.

1:12:39
I would hope
he couldn't find a doctor

1:12:41
who'd be willing
to do that, personally.

1:12:45
This is Computer.
1:12:47
This is-- Hi, Computer.
1:12:49
This is my dog.
1:12:51
All the stuff that Star Trek
predicted is all coming true.

1:12:54
The talking computers--
I mean, computers are better now

1:12:57
than they were
in the original series.

1:12:59
There are people that are intrigued by
the speculative technology on Star Trek.
