• [afterword] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [Hitchcock is still in his golf outfit]  So much for the high price of low fidelity. I'm quite angry with my friend. He ruined my club and he didn't land anywhere near the hole. As a matter of fact, I can't even find him. Now I'll have to buy a ball. It's quite distressing. Why don't you join me in the locker room after we pass one of those sand traps that dot the fairways of television?

  [commercial break] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : I thought we'd never get out of that one. However, we seem to have completed the course in 30 minutes, which is par. Why don't you join us next week for another round? In the clubhouse of course. Good night.

• [introduction] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [Hitchcock is in a golf outfit complete with knickerbocker shorts and a cap, and holding a driver]  Good evening, and welcome to tee time. I'm taking up golf. I've learned to play by watching a demonstration on television. I'm convinced that it's very easy to make a hole in one, at least this one.

  [stands ready to swing his club; the camera pulls out to reveal that it is not a golf ball but a man lying down who looks a little like Hitchcock himself. Hitchcock the golfer bends down to adjust the head of the human 'ball'] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : In the demonstration, the golfer knocked a ball off his friend's head. I'm not using the ball. Being a beginner, I feel I'm entitled to a larger target. Perhaps you better look the other way. I know I shall.

  [Hitchcock grimaces and closes his eyes as he prepares to take a big swing]
