Then came a big dramatic sequence with Spock, and Kirk/Janice attempts to get him to retract his statements and accept K/J as the real Kirk. Bill’s lines were something like: “Spock, Spock, come back to the Enterprise family, forget the madness that overcame all of us on Camus Two.”
Well, either he forgot his lines or that maniacal mind was at work again, because what came out was, “Spock, Spock, it’s always been you, you know it’s always been you. Say you love me, too.”
By the second “always,” Nimoy was sliding down the wall in hysterics and the cast and crew were whooping wildly. Bill turned a completely straight face to the crew and putting his finger under his chin made a polite, and for him, very feminine curtsy.
What a beautiful blooper that would have been, but I don’t think anyone thought about saving it. I know the camera was running, because the cameraman was folded over it laughing, and hadn’t the strength to turn it off. Darn.
