Quotes
[introduction]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is standing with his back to the camera, pulling dollar bills off the leaves of a life-sized bush-like tree] I'll be with you in a moment.
[turns to the audience to reveal a stack of bills in his hand]
Alfred Hitchcock: I suppose you're as surprised as I was to see a money tree like this. The ones I've seen have always been much taller.
[turns back to the tree and pulls off another bill]
Alfred Hitchcock: Oh!
[looks briefly at the bill]
Alfred Hitchcock: I've smudged that one. The ink wasn't dry yet. Last year, my entire crop was wiped out by grasshoppers.
[camera moves in]
Alfred Hitchcock: I finally tried insect spray, but by that time, the grasshoppers were so rich, they could afford gas masks.
[starts putting the money inside his jacket]
Alfred Hitchcock: Actually, I have no regard for money. Aside from its purchasing power, it's completely useless as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, the leading characters in tonight's play do not share my detachment. You shall see what befell them in a moment.
