Quotes2

  • [afterword]
  • Self - Host: The moral of this story is that fishing is poor in the state penitentiary, a fact which Gladys, Floyd and Nyla subsequently learned. And now for another moral, after which you shall find me still on the job.
  • [commercial, after which Hitchcock is sweeping up papers]
  • Self - Host: If you think watching a commercial is tiring, you should try cleaning up afterwards.
  • [continues cleaning as he shoos away the audience]
  • [introduction - Hitchcock is next to sanitation equipment]
  • Self - Host: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This tableau is designed to make it clear that when the television industry decides to clean house, it means just that. I must say the job is more difficult than I imagined what with all those westerns. I'm sure that, like me, you feel there is too much violence on television. Naturally, my first step has been to request our sponsor omit his commercials. Thus far, he is adamant. And I can only suggest that if there are any sensitive young children in the room, that you make sure they turn their heads during the next minute.
