Quotes
[introduction]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is pacing around a small room with just a small bench in it] Good evening.
Echo: Good evening.
[Hitchcock looks up in annoyance]
Alfred Hitchcock: [whispering] Good evening.
[gestures to the camera to come closer, which it does]
Alfred Hitchcock: Certain parties have been objecting to my candid remarks. So, I'm doing tonight's show from this sealed chamber. It's as quiet as a tomb. Which is not surprising...
Echo: Good evening.
Alfred Hitchcock: ...since it was the only type of structure available to switch it out...
[stops in annoyance]
Echo: Certain parties have been objecting to my candid remarks. So, I am doing tonight's show from this sealed chamber.
[there is a slight pause and Hitchcock tries to speak again but the echo continues]
Echo: Which is not surprising.
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock in annoyance at the echo] Are you quite finished?... Here, in a moment, is tonight's play. It is entitled "Crackpot."
Echo: Are you quite finished?
[Hitchcock shrugs and sits down, defeated]
