[introduction]

Narrator:

Chief Detective:
Take your hat off. Name: Hitchcock comma Alfred. Height: five foot six. Weight: prisoner refuses to make a statement. Here's his record. 1940, picked up on "Suspicion." 1942, "Spellbound." 1944, "Notorious." 1955, "Rear Window." 1956, "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Anything to say, Hitchcock?

Alfred Hitchcock:
Well, sir, I admit it ain't a good record. But I'm trying to do better.

Chief Detective:
Better? You call this latest charge "doing better"? Appearing on television!

Alfred Hitchcock:
I'm sorry, sir. But my family was hungry.

Chief Detective:
Now, take him away.

Alfred Hitchcock:
Wait a minute, sir. You've got the wrong man. Don't you want to see a sample of me work?

Chief Detective:
Okay, here's what we found on him when we picked him up.
