The Alfred Hitchcock Hour

Mrs. Maxwell:
My daddy's Bessie makes the best molasses cookies I ever tasted.

Sam Kirby:
I like Covington better than Slidell, for fishing, but it is more expensive.

Sam Kirby:
One thousand dollars a month will be enough, to start.

Minnie Briggs:
[to Grace Renford] You're in love with a ghost.

Himself - Host:
That is the end of tonight's story. We would like to show you more, but we seem to be running out of characters.

Dr. Jane Waterleigh:
Suppose that in ridding society of a pest it has gotten along with for centuries, you also destroyed society.

Dr. Perrigan:
Sort of throwing the baby out with the bath water, hmm?

Dr. Jane Waterleigh:
Or the operation was successful, but the patient died.

Dr. Dan Dana:
How do you find something when you don't even know what it is you're looking for?

Dr. Oliver:
Pasteur did.

Sgt. Boyle:
I don't want some stranger calling my house, telling my wife her husband is in the morgue naked.

Huntziger:
[about a juvenile delinquent who hadn't gone home in a few days] Not knowing WHERE Little Gordie is probably makes Little Gordie WHAT he is.

Harold:
We're moving in a region of horror.

Harold:
[warning Daphne about the killer] But it's you he wants!

Sister Lydia:
I want you to see what faith and prayer will do.

Mary Crawford:
My great-grandfather, my grandfather, my father worked their entire lives to save that money, and now it is gone in one afternoon.

Mary Crawford:
Home again, home again, jiggity jig.

George:
Two whole days. Count them. Two.

James Bellington:
Is a visit to a public servant now considered a criminal offense?

James Bellington:
I'm not here to argue the merits of my visit.

Thomas Grindley:
[the Commissioner of Parks & Recreation, on death threats made against him] Perhaps it's some disgruntled volleyball player.

James Bellington:
You know, if I do say so myself, my imitation's better than the original.

Himself - Host:
I understand that the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made music has never equaled the purity of sound achieved by the pig.

Alice Pemberton:
Why doesn't anyone like to enjoy life except me?

Sally Benner:
The guidebook says Shelley once walked here.

Woman:
Who?

Himself - Host:
Richard was not only guilty of simple bigamy. In his case, it was more like trigonometry. He is now in a well-known federal prison. You see, the law took the position that he must be punished... as though having four wives were not punishment enough.
