• [afterword] 

  Self - Host : This concludes our entertainment for this evening. You'll be pleased to know that I've solved my barbecue problem. It involves burning down a barn each time you want roast lamb. It's even better on those occasions when I can get my guests into the barn, too. Next time, I shall return with another story. Until then, good night.

• [introduction - Hitchcock is sitting outdoors next to a pot over a fire] 

  Self - Host : Good evening, aficionados of outdoor cooking. I'm quite thrilled with my new barbecue. It was rather inexpensive, but of course, I didn't take any of the extras. I eschewed the heat indicator and temperature control, the motor-driven spit, the glass-covered rotisserie, the stainless steel side table, the built-in blower, the warming oven, the utensil rack and the asbestos gloves. I did buy the firestarter, however.

  [picks up two sticks] 

  Self - Host : I understand one rubs these together. For buying the lighter, I received free a restaurant credit card.

  [puts down the sticks] 

  Self - Host : I expect to have no trouble acquiring charcoal since I have a fellow barbecuer who makes it out of beef steaks.

  [picks up barbecue hat] 

  Self - Host : I was given

  [picks up apron]
