Quotes
[introduction - Hitchcock has horseshoeing equipment and a horse in the background]
Self - Host: Good evening, fellow villagers. I've been promised a chestnut tree, but it hasn't been delivered yet. The job came as a result of my answering an ad. Sure I've got it here somewhere.
[searches his pockets]
Self - Host: Let's see. Oh, here we are.
[takes out ad and reads it]
Self - Host: "Wanted: Man with large and sinewy hands. The muscles of his brawny arms strong as iron bands. Hair must be crisp, black and long. His face must be quite tan. No salary guaranteed. He earns what air he can." I found the job very interesting and not difficult at all. This case, for example.
[gestures to horse]
