Tall Guy mentions the eyebrow thing. That's funny - I can also raise the left one, but not the right.
Yeah, me too.
Phew!

It's gratifying to see I got the dialogue so right from memory. It's been too long since I last read it; I thought I'd be farther off than that.
The last couple of days, the line about "speaking it with an accent" has been bouncing around in my mind, as if I'd heard it somewhere before. I finally just Googled it. Turns out it's from an anecdote Nimoy himself used to tell. Perhaps I read it in "I Am Not Spock" or some old interview. Here's how he told it to writer Robert Kaiser in Penthouse magazine in 1979 . . .
Penthouse: Your "Star Trek" movie has the advantage of a ready-made cult, right?
Leonard Nimoy: Oh yes. We still have a cult. A few months ago I was walking down a street in Cleveland and a very pretty girl gave me the Vulcan salute. "Yes", I said, "but can you do it with your left hand?" She tried it -- and failed. The she shrugged and said: "Well, I speak it with an accent."
Seems like the DC comics artist was a real fan.

I can do the salute very easily with either hand, probably because I considered it important as a little kid.
I also have complete individual control over my eyebrows, due to extensive childhood practice. Between Spock and The Six Million Dollar Man, it struck me as absolutely vital to have my eyebrows on an independent suspension system.
