Self - Host
- [afterword - Hitchcock has a ticking package]
- Self - Host: I shall see you in a moment. I have orders to get this package to the addressee with all possible speed.
- [listens]
- Self - Host: Yes, I haven't much time.
- [commercial]
- Self - Host: Well, I delivered my package.
- [an explosion is heard]
- Self - Host: It's a shame I didn't give it to the right person, but there wasn't time. The important thing is that someone got it. After all, the mail must go through. That's all for tonight's delivery. Next week, I shall have some more. Until then, good night.
- [introduction - Hitchcock is dressed as a mailman]
- Self - Host: Good evening, Mr. and Mrs., um...
- [looks at mail]
- Self - Host: 'Occupant'. Tonight's story is called "Strange Miracle" and I consider it first-class. Before I'm permitted to deliver it, however, there's a certain gentleman with another message, which I can only say is in a class by itself. I have attempted to dissuade him, but neither snow nor rain nor any amount of acrimony can stay this eager courier.
- [looks off-camera]
- Self - Host: Here he comes now.
