Quotes
[introduction - Hitchcock is surrounded by various road signs]
Self - Host: Good evening, fellow motorists. The road signs became so dense that I had to abandon my automobile and proceed on foot. I do hope the time never comes when billboards will obscure this lovely scenery. Actually, I believe these are seedling signs. This is where the Highway Department grows them. You are probably more familiar with the wild variety that springs up along the roadside. Tonight's play has a connection, however tenuous, with the foregoing. In it, you will see an automobile. The play is called "Dead Weight" and will begin after this one-minute detour.
