- Kenneth Tynan - Host: We're hoping it will be a good afternoon.
- Elaine Dundy - Host: Today is a bullfight day and that can be one of the most exciting days in the world - especially if there's good weather. Bullfighting needs the sun.
- Kenneth Tynan - Host: In a few minutes, we'll be joining Orson Welles at the bullring here but, until we do that, I thought we should give you some idea of the spectacle you're going to see. To start with, it's the only spectacle on Earth in which a completely wild animal appears outside a cage - and I do mean a completely wild animal. The Spanish bull is a distinct biological species. It's as different from our bulls as an armored car is from a wheelbarrow.
- Elaine Dundy - Host: It's a wonderful thing - you can read all kinds of significant things into a bullfight. Some people say that the bull is the symbol of man being tormented to death by the deceitful matador who is the symbol of "woman" and Picasso in many of his bullfight sketches has drawn the matador as a woman. Of course, other people say it's the other way around.
- Kenneth Tynan - Host: You see, a lot of things have to happen before the chap and the bull encounter each other in the bullring. I think we'll start with the hero.
- Elaine Dundy - Host: And the hero is the bull. Once when a matador had a very bad fight and been hissed and booed out of the ring, has asked, "Now who was right? You or the crowd?" And he replied, "The bull."
