Quotes
[introduction - Hitchcock is sitting at a desk]
Self - Host: Good evening. I thought you might be interested in seeing one of the world's first television tubes.
[close-up of ship in a bottle]
Self - Host: In those days, everything was in glorious color. Repairs were unheard of and the tube never wore out. But, of course, we've managed to improve those details. A few of you may consider staring at this a rather limited form of entertainment, but our ancestors found this bottle quite exciting. But, of course, they were the ones who had emptied it. And now, ladies and gentlemen, our play.
