[opening narration]
Hitchcock's Stand-In: [Chewing gum, Hitchcock's stand-in looks like a college kid with a light-coloured jacket, white shirt, checkered bow tie, slicked back hair, and an American drawl] Hiya.
[holds up a finger briefly]
Hitchcock's Stand-In: I'm not Hitchcock. I'm Alfred, his stand-in. Someone has to stand here while the lights and the cameras are adjusted and all that stuff, see? And the old boy just don't have the time. I got the job 'cause I look like him. That's what they say, but not to my face.
[looks off-camera briefly and nods in that direction]
Hitchcock's Stand-In: I see they're rolling him in. You suppose I'll look like that when I'm his age?
Alfred Hitchcock: [the real Hitchcock walks into frame] That will be all, Alfred.
Hitchcock's Stand-In: Arrivederci, daddy-O.
[Hitchcock's stand-n saunters off after an exaggerated bow]
Alfred Hitchcock: Cheeky fellow, isn't he? Unfortunately, he may soon be more than a stand-in. We are planning to send out a second company to tour the provinces, and Alfred will play my part. Which brings us to tonight's thrilling shocker. It is called "Jonathan."
