Alfred Hitchcock: Self - Host

Quotes 

• [afterword] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [Hitchcock has a partially eaten apple in his hand]  Unfortunately, he wasn't. Sam was one of those person for whom all things seem to work out well. No matter what happens to him, he always manages to land on his head. That's all for tonight. Next time, we plan a similar foray into your parlor. I hope you'll be home. Good night.

  [Resumes eating apple] 

• [introduction] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : [carrying an oversized bow and arrow]  Good evening. Have you, um, seen a small boy with an apple on his head? I know he's around here somewhere, but my eyes aren't what they used to be. Oh, oh, there he is.

  [shoots the arrow off-screen] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : I missed again.

  [chucks bow away] 

  Alfred Hitchcock : I think I'd better quit. I even missed the boy that time. Tonight, the flickering shadows on our magic lantern screen tell a story of life in the big city. It is called, "Father and Son."
