[afterword]
Self - Host : This concludes our entertainment for this evening. You'll be pleased to know that I've solved my barbecue problem. It involves burning down a barn each time you want roast lamb.

[introduction - Hitchcock is sitting outdoors next to a pot over a fire]
Self - Host : Good evening, aficionados of outdoor cooking. I'm quite thrilled with my new barbecue. It was rather inexpensive, but of course, I didn't take any of the extras. I eschewed the heat indicator and temperature control, the motor-driven spit, the glass-covered rotisserie, the stainless steel side table, the built-in blower, the warming oven, the utensil rack and the asbestos gloves. I did buy the firestarter, however.

Self - Host : I understand one rubs these together. For buying the lighter, I received free a restaurant credit card.
[puts down the sticks]
Self - Host : I expect to have no trouble acquiring charcoal since I have a fellow barbecuer who makes it out of beef steaks.
