    • Quotes
      • [afterword]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is now holding an apple in both hands] Thus, as it so often happens, a life is ruined. A promising career is nipped in the bud.
      • [emphasises point with hand]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: All because of one mistake made in the heat of the moment. There's a lesson here for all you good folk. Just one mistake. If Warren had only killed his wife first, he would've gotten away with it. I'm sure you're wondering what happened to the grenade. A little gray-haired old lady came by selling apples, and I managed to slip the grenade into her basket. By now, she should be selling applesauce. She very kindly gave me this. However, I just don't feel hungry.
      • [tosses apple off-screen; it explodes, and Hitchcock is startled]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: How shocking. She gave me a grenade disguised as an apple. It's getting so you can't trust anyone these days. At any rate, we shall be back another time to explore further the dark alleyways of human behavior. Until then, good night.
