Alfred Hitchcock: Self - Host

Quotes 

• [introduction] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [digging in a cemetery lot next to a sign that says "CEMETERY LOTS Come In And Browse"]  Oh, good evening, friends, Romans and countrymen. I've just unearthed some items which may be of vast archaeological importance.

  [takes out the following items] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : Two fig leaves. And a half-eaten apple. Tonight's play is not about fig leaves, but it does have a scene in a garden. It is called "The Rose Garden." And it's concerned with two elderly sisters in a magnolia-scented house in Louisiana.

• [afterword] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [Hitchcock is standing with a spade over his shoulder]  So much for the literary set. And now we must interrupt our program while we prepare the next play for production. I shall see you then. Good night.
