  • [introduction - Hitchcock is standing by a record player which he activates]
  • Alfred Hitchcock: [on the record player] Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you will excuse the use of this mechanical device, but I have a mild case of laryngitis and I don't wish to strain my voice. Tonight's story is en...
  • [the record keeps repeating "Tonight's story is en..." until Hitchcock moves the needle]
  • Alfred Hitchcock: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you will excuse this broken record, but it was improperly handled. Tonight's play is called "Listen, Listen".
  • [the record keeps repeating "Listen, Listen" until Hitchcock moves the needle again]
  • Alfred Hitchcock: But "Listen, Listen" really is the name of the story.

  • [commercial break, after which Hitchcock silently gestures that he's lost his voice, but hopes to regain it by next week's program]
