Quotes
[first lines]
Alfred Hitchcock - Host: Quiet, please.
[Hitchcock bangs a gavel on a narrow desk which has a pitcher of water and glass on a tray on one side, and a row of books within bookends on the other]
Alfred Hitchcock - Host: Good evening, fellow necromaniacs. I'm glad so many of you could come. I should explain that the word has nothing to do with necking. I'm awfully sorry I haven't time to explain it now. You'll just have to look it up in the dictionary. As you know, we are not allowed to present our play unless we have a quorum. Tonight, we are concerned with those three little words: Who Done It. When our story opens, the more sordid details are safely out of the way. For the hero of tonight's Grand Guignol is already quite dead.
