[afterword - Hitchcock is still near the motion picture screen]
Alfred Hitchcock : And now, for the information of you youngsters who were slashing the upholstery and tearing out the seats during the denouement, I would like to tidy up one of the story's loose ends - Phyllis Chaundry. She was arrested as an accessory and she and her husband Jack both went to prison. An inspiring example of togetherness. And now, as a means of clearing the theater without calling the police, here is another commercial from the land of television, after which I shall roll back.
[commercial break]
Alfred Hitchcock : I'm sure you will be interested in knowing that the soundtracks of the three commercials seen tonight are available in the album "Music to Cook Three-Minute Eggs By". The album is available in all speeds, including reverse as well as in fi, both high and low. Next week, we shall have a completely new attraction as well as new seats and fresh popcorn. Good night.

[introduction - Hitchcock is standing by a motion picture screen]
Alfred Hitchcock : Good evening. I can tell by the rude noises you are making that you are impatient to see our film. However, there will be a slight delay. Is there a barber in the house? If there is, will he please report to the projection booth? Our projectionist seems to have caught his mustache in a sprocket. Of course, it could've been worse. The popcorn machine might have broken down. As you know, our theater spares no expense to make you television addicts feel at home. Our movies are the oldest that money can buy. And tonight, as a special attraction, we shall present some television commercials. I knew you'd like that. They will be injected at various points during our picture to keep you from getting too engrossed in the story. I understand they're very good at relieving tensions and furnishing comic relief. And now, if you will quiet down, we shall begin our program.
