Writing Her Hope

“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.

So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”

I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.

I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.

And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.

Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”

That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

“Look, I know you think we should call it, but I don’t want to give up on this, even if we don’t know what this is. I want to uncall it. Please can we uncall it? Before you say no… Don’t say no.”

“I want you … Jackson. I want you.  I haven’t been fair to you, I know, and I’ve - I’ve really hurt you. When that bus exploded, and I thought you were gone, I - ..”

JACKSON: You’re getting married.
APRIL: Unless you can give me a reason not to.
