Quotes2

  • [introduction - Hitchcock is in front of a conveyor belt]
  • Self - Host: Good evening. We decided to utilize assembly line methods in the making of our shows. Mine is the last operation. You will notice one of our productions coming along now.
  • [picks up items off table]
  • Self - Host: A sprinkle or so of saccharine. A little pruning. A... One, two commercials, three commercials. I -- here's another one.
  • [sprinkles saccharine]
  • Self - Host: I can see this is going to keep me quite busy. In the meantime, suppose you look at one of the finished products.
  • [afterword]
  • Self - Host: I would like to make it clear that the appearance of a suicide on our program in no way constitutes an endorsement of this as a solution to life's problems. There are many better means to get out of a difficult situation. Money, for example. And now I shall return in a moment.
  • [commercial]
  • Self - Host: That is all for tonight.
  • [uses items on table]
  • Self - Host: I wonder if we could leave out commercials now and then.
  • [conveyor belt stops]
  • Self - Host: Big Brother never sleeps.
  • [conveyor belt resumes]
  • Self - Host: Good night.
