    • Quotes
      • [first lines]
      • [opens with Hitchcock taking things out of a trunk, such as a panda bear and an empty hot water bottle]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: Now, that's not it. I'm trying to locate a lost article. The only difficulty is, I can't remember what I lost.
      • [pulls out a noose]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: No, this isn't it. I don't know why I keep it. I don't think it's any good anymore, it's been used.
      • [pulls out a gun]
      • Alfred Hitchcock: This is for the man who has everything. It's to enable you to take some of it away from him. By the way, this may take all evening, so while I'm looking here, why don't you look over there.
