:24:00
Yeah. It's different
to come to work.
:24:01
You don't know what's
going to be around.
:24:04
They bring something different
in all the time.
:24:06
Every morning you come in,
you wonder, "Well, what's
going to be on these walls
:24:09
that wasn't here before?"
:24:10
The uniform
I wouldn't do at first.
:24:12
I told them no.
That wasn't possible for me.
:24:16
Crosby: And you just--
How long did you hold out?
:24:18
Uh, about--
Almost a year.
:24:20
Almost a year before I was--
I was the last one to put it on.
:24:23
What made you finally turn the corner?
:24:25
He told me I had to.
:24:27
[Laughter]
:24:28
She cried a few times.
:24:30
He told me I had to.
:24:31
We actually dress up
like this at home,
:24:33
and we take turns being different
characters, and it helps our, um...
:24:36
- Relationship. Yeah.
- Yeah, it does.
:24:38
-Always going out with different people.
-Crosby: Really?
:24:40
Yeah. I haven't done you yet
because I'm not tall enough,
:24:42
so he usually puts a wig on.
:24:44
He has to portray you.
:24:46
And then I have to
be Data or Quark.
:24:47
Yeah, Quark.
Sometimes Quark.
:24:51
Crosby: And how do
the patients respond?
:24:53
Most of them like it.
:24:55
I think the Star Trek theme
in the dentist's office is great.
:24:58
It takes your mind off
where you really are.
:24:59
It's not like any other
dentist office I've ever been in,
:25:02
that's for sure.
:25:03
Denis: Most people,
even if they don't like Star Trek,
:25:07
Iike the idea of it.
:25:09
I've only had one person
who didn't like the idea,
:25:13
but he wasn't happy about his bill
in the first place, so...
:25:17
Denis: Good afternoon, Preston.
How you doing?
:25:18
Hey, Denis. How are you?
:25:19
Good to see you.
Come on back.
:25:20
Let's go ahead
and get you going here.
:25:22
Go ahead
and take a look here.
:25:25
Number two, occlusal lingual.
:25:29
Number 3 crown.

Denis, Voice-Over:
Shelley and I started in another office
at about the same time,
:25:35
and Shelley started
as the front-desk receptionist.
:25:38
After about a while,
she liked dentistry so much,
:25:40
she decided she wanted
to maybe assist,
:25:42
so I brought her back,
and I taught her to assist,
:25:45
and, uh...we worked
very well together,
:25:48
so we decided to make it
a bond for life,
:25:51
and we're together now forever.
:25:53
I'm dressed as a NASA astronaut
:25:56
that was actually killed
:25:58
that they investigated
the death of
