Self - Host: [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]
Self - Host:
“…the office party. However, we had this room designed especially for the party…”
[looks back briefly]
Self - Host:
“…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.” [pours
himself a drink]— Alfred Hitchcock Presents,
Season 3, Episode 15, “Together,” original air date Jan. 12, 1958,
teleplay by Robert C. Dennis, based on the story by Alec Coppel, directed by Robert
Altman
