    • Quotes
      • [afterword]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is still in his golf outfit] So much for the high price of low fidelity. I'm quite angry with my friend. He ruined my club and he didn't land anywhere near the hole. As a matter of fact, I can't even find him. Now I'll have to buy a ball. It's quite distressing. Why don't you join me in the locker room after we pass one of those sand traps that dot the fairways of television?
      • [commercial break]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: I thought we'd never get out of that one. However, we seem to have completed the course in 30 minutes, which is par. Why don't you join us next week for another round? In the clubhouse of course. Good night.
