[introduction]
Alfred Hitchcock: [Hitchcock is putting up a display of glasses and bottles of alcohol on an office desk] Good evening, fellow revellers. Tonight, we are indulging in an old city tradition. It is the event that turned a mild-mannered white-collar worker into a four-armed beast of prey.
[shows off the display]
Alfred Hitchcock: The office party. However, we had this room designed especially for the party
[looks back briefly]
Alfred Hitchcock: by the girls in the office. It has no corners. I am in charge of the entertainment which all should enjoy. After most of the hors d'oeuvres have been eaten, we're going to throw a company director to the lions. I realize it isn't much, but the lions are a great deal cheaper than the string quartet we had last year. They don't drink as much either. And now, for the party.
