That would be kind of neat. Woman: When we first started doing the Star Trek cruises, the fans came because they wanted to have quality time with the stars. Each fan has their picture taken with all of the stars and Star Trek guest celebrities around them. - Crosby: Tell me about the passport. - It looks like a U.S. passport, but obviously it says United Federation of Planets, and we filled it out. It's sort of a thing you pick up at the conventions. I went to Honduras and Belize, and they just stamped me in. In fact, I even have one... scary-- U.S. Immigration. February 7, 1994, they stamped me in. Man: Coming is Jimmy Doohan's-- Scotty's director's chair. My wife is flying in with that today, and-- And that will be for sale? Y es. That's for sale. Here's the sign. We have the sign, but we don't have the chair. - And that's worth what? - $375. - Wow. I don't know if it's worth that. We put a price on it. We hope it's worth that. I don't know. It's hard to put a price on something like that, though, really. It's probably worth a million dollars. Whatever you collect, you can usually find it at conventions. At a typical convention, you'll find a plethora of dealer tables selling a variety of Star Trek merchandise. Over here we have some gorgeous cardboard stand-ups. I really must pick up one of these. A nice collection of the various novels. And there is a set of the figures right there I just traded. Star Trek ship diagrams and blueprints, Star Trek- related bookmarks, Star Trek- related jewelry, and Star Trek uniform adornments, Star Trek software, plates, CDs, lithographs, calendars, phasers, a good deal of the model kits. I always love buying and building the model kits. I've just been putting the finishing touches on Voyager here. Of course, the Nacelles fold, as you see on the series. One little problem here is this is coming apart there. I don't think the Voyager is supposed to have saucer sep capability. I became a dealer because when I was younger, I read a few too many Conan books, and I started to get interested in swords and armor and learned how to make armor and got interested in weaponries. And then we went to gun shows, and we used to carry the armor on the table. Then in about 1991, they came out with the 25th anniversary Star Trek cards, and I got all excited and went down and bought a few too many boxes and broke them all for sets, and I got my sets, and then I had all these sets left over. So we took them to the gun show, and I put them next to the armor, and then all of them disappeared. And then they started asking me for one of these and one of those. And the armor started moving farther and farther off the edge of the table, and now it's on the floor, and these and those have taken over everything. I'm working now with a company that is doing cookie jars. They're 30th anniversary Star Trek cookie jars. I've collected 759 autographs in about 5 years-- of the Star Trek characters. This is going to be kind of like Christmas, ripping open all these packages and stuff. She just got me hooked on the cards. I've just become addicted. I told you, all you have to do is buy one pack. You just buy one pack, and you're automatically addicted. I've been in printing now for 11 years. I work in the bindery department. Woman: A lot of people do think she's strange, and they'll say, "What kind of person is she really?" And honestly, she's very well-educated and intelligent. She takes her job responsibilities very seriously. She's a good worker. But I think a lot of people think she's not very intelligent, whereas, really, she is. Man: Bobby is a little bit eccentric, but it's a good quality kind of eccentricity. The customers do think it's a little bit strange sometimes, but they get a kick out of it. Everyone's got their quirks, and we just work around and with those. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Бетховен 2 на английском - текст Вкус зелёного чая после риса на английском - текст Бетховен на английском - текст Вельд на английском - текст Война и мир на английском |
