| 0:40.8 | I'm John Champion. A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of meeting David C. Fine, the producer of Star Trek The Motion Picture, the Director's Edition. David worked with Director Robert Wise in order to bring to the public the final correct version of this film which was released on DVD in 2001. |

| 1:57.0 | Right there, right? |
| 2:01.0 | And for the sake of this, I am wearing the actual one right now. |
