Alfred Hitchcock credited as playing...
Self - Host
- [intermission]
- Self - Host: We have not come to the end of our play. There is much more, but we thought it wise to stop here in order to ease tensions and break stations.
- [introduction - Hitchcock is sitting at a drum set and puts on a wig]
- Self - Host: If you see three young men with electric guitars, please send them back. They seem to have wandered off. They can't be far, however, for they are still plugged in, all evident to the contrary.
- [takes off wig]
- Self - Host: I'm convinced that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. For example, this set of drums was made by a tribe of Aborigines, a people completely uncivilized, yet they built every one of these lovely instruments out of human skin. Of course, when it came to drum sticks, they were rather unoriginal.
- [holds up pair of bones]
- Self - Host: They make these out of plastic, which we supply them at a modest profit. Unfortunately, we keep running out of salesmen. This evening's program is not completely musical. We also bring you a play. It concerns violence and revenge in a small mountain town. The time - one minute from now.
- [afterword - Hitchcock holds up his wig]
- Self - Host: By the way, I know the secret of these wigs. They are actually earmuffs so you don't have to listen to your own music. Next week, we shall be back with another story. And perhaps by then, my three companions will have returned. Until then, good night.
