:49:00
from the film project
that I'm working on,
:49:02
and it should be noted that this is
only a prototypical version,
:49:06
and, uh...
:49:08
The collar on the completed
version will be--
:49:12
come to about here,
but it's--
:49:14
She kind of cut short
the collar a bit,
:49:17
and it will have
shoulder pads,
:49:19
and it will be all wool.
:49:21
This has some wool components
and some polyester components,
:49:24
and overall I think
the first version looks nice.
:49:26
I've got a friend of mine
that does custom tailoring,
:49:29
so he does
all my uniforms for me.
:49:31
I have a dress uniform.
:49:32
I've got just, like,
a couple of the regular T-shirt tops
:49:35
and things like that,
and this is one of the jumpsuits.
:49:38
This is normal attire for me.
:49:40
We don't feel like we look
any different than anyone else anymore,
:49:43
because we've been
doing it for so long.
:49:46
In fact, sometimes after work I'll
be leaving and I'll have my uniform on.
:49:50
People will be staring
at me, and I'm like,
:49:52
"What are they staring at me for?"
To me, it's just natural.
:49:55
Man: I go out a lot of times
in the uniform,
:49:59
and I find it
a pretty positive thing.
:50:01
Sometimes I'll get people that--
they'll give me a smile,
:50:04
they'll say something or give me
a Star Trek Vulcan salute.
:50:07
I've never had a negative
experience, and I enjoy it.
:50:10
On a couple of occasions,
I've had people ask me
:50:13
something about, "Well, how long
are you going to do this?"
:50:16
Or "Why do you do all this?
Don't you have a life for real?"
:50:19
And this is part
of my life for real.
:50:21
Hi, Steve.
:50:22
How you doing?
:50:24
All right.
How are you today?
:50:25
- All right.
- Good.
:50:26
As long as I'm able to do it,
I'm going to do it.
:50:29
Doesn't hurt anybody,
makes a lot of people feel good,
:50:33
and I think that's
sort of the point of things.
:50:36
Gabriel: I'm going inside now
to some of my favorite stores
:50:39
to search for new
Star Trek memorabilia,
:50:41
hard-to-get action figures,
and the like.
:50:43
You know, I spend around
maybe 300-400 bucks a year
:50:47
on Star Trek merchandise,
but if I could, I'd spend
:50:50
a lot more--
about--way over 1,000.
:50:52
The reality is Star Trek fans
:50:54
devote more time,
energy, and finance
:50:56
to their object of affection
:50:58
than any other group
of people in the world.
