Quotes
[afterword]
Alfred Hitchcock: So much for the strange case of Henry Dole. For the next minute, I intend to step over to the stockade and interrogate our prisoners, after which I'll bounce back.
[commercial break, after which Hitchcock is surrounded by the 'Martians']
Alfred Hitchcock: I wish to state categorically that all the statements made previously were facetious, that no invasion from Mars has taken place and that the attractive costumes you see on these lovely Earthlings are the final step in a gradual evolution toward the ultimate in beauty. I shall be back...
[glances to one of the Martians]
Alfred Hitchcock: I shall be back next week with another story. Until then, good night.
