Star Trek Adventure

Gene Roddenberry:
Hello and welcome to Universal Studios' Star Trek Adventure, courtesy of Paramount Pictures. I'm Gene Roddenberry and some of you may know me as the creator of Star Trek. The episode you're about to see is a first. It's the first time guest stars have ever played the roles of the Captain of the Enterprise and the Vulcan science officer. We'll now give you a peek at the rehearsal session that went on between our guest stars and their two directors, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy.

William Shatner:
Emotion is the key. You must let the audience know that you are the Captain of the ship.

Leonard Nimoy:
The trick is to remove all traces of emotion from your performance. A Vulcan's actions are dictated by pure logic. And remember...

William Shatner:
The Captain is the most important role in the story.

Leonard Nimoy:
The Vulcan is the most important role in the story.

Leonard Nimoy:
The Captain?

William Shatner:
The Vulcan? Come on, Leonard, it's the Captain that makes things happen. It's his story!

Leonard Nimoy:
Bill, get serious. The audience watches the Vulcan!

Dr. McCoy:
Medical log, stardate 8707.2. Dr. McCoy reporting. The crew of the Enterprise is busy readying itself for an ordeal that I'm sure will prove to be trying: a Starfleet training mission. Below us on Earth, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock are attending a conference at Federation headquarters, which makes them unable to help supervise the new graduates. But at least I'm not alone in this endeavor. Uhura, Chekov, Sulu and Scotty are aboard too, and you couldn't ask for better instructors than that.

Scott:
Welcome aboard the Enterprise! Graduates, you are expected on the bridge!

Dr. McCoy:
Now that the new "Captain" and his fellow graduates are on the bridge, I can feel my nervous stomach acting up. I have to keep reminding myself that this is only a training mission.
