Alfred Hitchcock credited as playing...
Self - Host
- [afterword]
- Self - Host: I think the lesson that story teaches is if you want a job done properly, do it yourself. Naturally, Jocelyn and the burglar were caught. Personally, I don't see anything shocking about a person being paid to commit murder. I do it every week. But now I must do some more experimenting, which will take exactly, I think, one minute.
- [throws a paper airplane that, within moments, hits him as we go to commercial]
- Self - Host: Persons less tolerant than I might refer to that commercial as a "hard sell". However, the "sell" I think of in connection with that is a padded one. I believe I have at last designed the perfect flying machine.
- [shows a drawing of a bird]
- Self - Host: As you see, it has its production problems. It still has some bugs in it and the workers on our assembly line are going to look rather odd sitting on all those eggs, but I'm optimistic. Now I wish to thank all of you for your indulgence. Next week, I shall be back with more of the same. Until then, good night.
- [introduction - Hitchcock is at work on designing something]
- Self - Host: Good evening, fellow creatures. I've, uh, been working as an aeronautical engineer. I'm developing safety devices.
- [an airplane is heard overhead before crashing and exploding]
- Self - Host: Well, it was better than the last time. For a moment, I thought I was out of a job. Tonight's drama is called "The Right Price". For those purists who like to see the connection between my part of the program and the story, here it is.
