You never know when
you're gonna need it.

:32:03
(Kazanjian) We've always known that
Hitchcock's dialogue is very witty.

:32:06
Whether it be on the set
or in development,

:32:09
I could see him create dialogue, whether
it be with the writer or himself,

:32:13
and how he would change dialogue.
:32:15
He was very witty, very clever,
:32:17
and some of the sexual
innuendoes in the film,

:32:20
I must tell you,
went right over my head.

:32:23
You're not going to have to worry
about my performance tonight.

:32:26
As a matter of fact,
on this very evening,

:32:29
you're going to see
a standing ovation.

:32:32
Tonight, when I get home,
we will, uh...

:32:37
Right. Very nice. Plot our strategy.
:32:40
But it's true, if you listen to that film,
:32:43
see it once or twice,
there are many lines of dialogue

:32:48
which are very sexual.
:32:51
I'm sick and tired of having you
have me by the crystal balls.

:32:54
- Fix me another one of these.
- You already got one.

:32:58
- We only got two hours to get there.
- I'll eat in the car.

:33:01
Hitchcock used food
a great deal in this movie.

:33:04
Like the hamburger scene
and the wig in the refrigerator.

:33:08
I think part of that, again,
was because he

:33:11
considered himself
a great gourmet.

:33:13
I do know that he was
very punctual about eating.

:33:17
If his food wasn't there at 12:00,
:33:19
he'd ask W here's our food?"
"It's on its way, Mr Hitchcock."

:33:29
I'd like to think that Hitchcock
was somewhat of a religious person.

:33:34
From time to time, he would
talk to me about religion,

:33:37
but he liked to poke fun
at religion a little bit.

:33:43
And you'll see that in Family Plot
:33:45
with the scene with the priest
and the children in the diner

:33:48
and the kidnapping
of the priest in the church

:33:51
in front of a full audience that
doesn't do too much about it.

:33:54
- You think he's sick?
- The original title was Deceit.

:33:58
And I believe Ernie Lehman
gave that title,
