: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?
:58:03
Actually, yes.
I seldom ever watch Star Trek.
:58:05
Only because you want
to understand what I'm talking about.
:58:07
Yeah. Some of it.
:58:09
And I'm really not a Star Trek fan,
but I get into it
:58:12
because she's into it.
:58:14
In my favorite fan letter,
I received--
:58:17
I opened it up, and there was
a marijuana cigarette
:58:21
glued to a piece of cardboard
:58:23
and a photo of a very
delightful-looking young girl.
:58:28
And she said, "You have
turned me on so many times,
:58:34
I thought I would return
the favor."
:58:41
I kept that one.
:58:43
I've saved some pretty great stuff
the fans have sent me.
:58:48
These are ink drawings--
:58:49
Chekov, Captain Picard,
:58:51
Saavik, Dr. Crusher.
:58:53
A woman named Jean Kluge,
:58:55
she drew me in a kind of
Davy Crockett motif.
:58:58
This is from Blowing Rock,
North Carolina.
