- [a flashing rock appears, making beeping sounds]
- Leonard Nimoy: Yes, I can understand you. I'm Leonard Nimoy.
- Leonard Nimoy: At first glance, this player--
- [the rock flashes and beeps disapprovingly]
- Leonard Nimoy: Excuse me. *Magnavision*...gives the appearance of a highly stylized record player. However I notice the absence of a stylus, or needle.
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: An optical laser scanner?
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: And Magnavision was the first consumer product in our galaxy to use it? Now that is an entirely new dimension in entertainment.
- Leonard Nimoy: Well, inside this small area, a low power laser beam projects, moving from the inside out. The opposite movement of a record player.
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: And LaserVision discs are played from the underside. Interesting. The encoded information on this disc is read by a laser beam. Mmm. That means that the picture and sound quality must be far superior to video tape reproduction.
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: I understand. If nothing touches the disc surface, there is virtually no wear out factor, and therefore it will play equally well time after time.
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: Obviously scratches won't affect this coated surface, and normal wear and tear should have no bearing on the quality.
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: [attempting to flex the videodisc he is holding] It *does* seem well constructed. Uniquely so.
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: Yes, I would be *extremely* interested in exploring Magnavision's extraordinary capabilities. May we start?
- [the rock flashes and beeps]
- Leonard Nimoy: Thank you.
