Quotes3

  • [intermission]
  • Self - Host: We are about to pass the halfway point. Time will be allowed if you need to change your tires and gas up. I must warn you about this, however.
  • [points to 'RADAR ZONE' sign]
  • Self - Host: This area is well policed. Do not attempt to leave your living room or to change channels. Any attempt to defect will be dealt with harshly.
  • [break]
  • Self - Host: Radar is a marvelous device. During the station break, an elderly gentleman in Peru, Indiana attempted to go to the kitchen for a jelly sandwich and was detected at once. He has been given a long sentence of hard labor. To be precise, he must watch the following commercial.
  • [afterword]
  • Self - Host: This is the ideal sports car for me. It lends an air of dash and zip, yet with perfect safety, since I'm only permitted to drive it on the sidewalk. We have arrived at the finish line of tonight's show. Next week, I shall drive back with another story. Now, a scene from next week's commercials.
  • [introduction - Hitchcock is beside a miniature car]
  • Self - Host: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to "The Alfred Hitchcock Hour". This is my new sports car. I'm quite proud of it. However, I wish I also had one for the other foot. I did consider entering this in the Grand Prix, but decided not to. I'm sure I would have won the Booby Prix. However, we must be getting on with tonight's show. I receive a great many inquiries from viewers who wonder why I permit commercials on our show. Frankly, I feel that television commercials are ideally suited to this type of program. This next one, for example, is most appropriate. It's deadly.
