Alfred Hitchcock: Self - Host

Quotes 

• [afterword] 

  Self - Host : By the way, I wouldn't worry about that female hitchhiker if I were you. That was John Charles Wentworth, the gentleman who later authored a book - "I Was a Girl for the FBI." There was another announcement I was to make, but I can't remember. Give me one minute and perhaps I can.

  Self - Host : I now remember the announcement I wanted to make. We should return next week at the same time. Until then, good night.

• [introduction] 

  Self - Host : Good evening. We have here one of the latest and most improved parking meters. The old type merely indicated a violation and, unless a policeman happened by, the driver could get off scot-free. This meter assures us that the violator will be punished. Needless to say even if the automobile is hauled away, it can easily be identified. And so can the driver if he is within range. The advantages are not all on the side of the law, however. For this device also will blow away any parking ticket left on your windshield. And now I see our sponsor is parked in a one-minute zone, following which we shall have tonight's story.
