Alfred Hitchcock Presents

Present company excepted.

Good evening, fellow clock watchers, and welcome to Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

I shall never again lease an apartment on the strength of an advertisement.

This one red quarters for rent for very

slim gentleman who loves animals, the animals of that infernal bird you just

heard, and then idiotic mouse that runs up the pendulum every now and then.

You know, the nursery rhyme that goes when the clock struck one.

Unfortunately, I'm the one it strikes, but enough of my problems.

Now, as is customary on this program,

we shall have a word or two from a dear friend.

Listen.

Good evening.

You have something

I was wondering if you take a look at this.

I dropped it on the floor yesterday.

Let me see.

Had a Cristoff, a Ginuwine Krishna.

This is a very rare watch, my friend.

I haven't seen what in many years, not since I left the old country.

Oh, my uncle left it to me.

It had been in his family for years.

Uh.

Yeah, yeah, I can reverse this,

I think will not be easy, and we'll have to make the parts myself.

I watched my friend beautiful instrument.

Well, see, I noticed some interesting cracks here.

Did you bring them from your yard when the war started?

They could not save my masterpieces. By how?

No matter how.

You do not know they were.

No, it means clockwork figures.

You know, mechanical chess players,

little jewel, the birds that fly and sing when you bring them up.

Soldiers that march and sound the trumpets.

You make things like that from all over Europe.

They came to me with commissions in Bonn.

There is a church steeple.

When Towers strikes,

angels appear on the belfry and Brazde golden saw of five hours of Egypt.

I created those angels

and now I am over here.

I earn my bread preparing.

Keith Partridge,

can you fix my watch, Mr. Clark?

You're certainly can,

but it will take time if I am to see it.

Strange, isn't it, that it takes time to save time?

Time is the great mystery.

I thought you were alone.

What is it, Lisa?

Dinner is ready.

Oh, you see, my friend, dying is the great mystery.

I had no idea it was so late.

Would you join us for dinner?

I really shouldn't.

Oh, please.

We have plenty.

That's very kind of you. Go.

It's good.

I'd like to hear some more about your work.

Yeah, well, I have a few pieces in back which might interest you.

I'm interested, Mr.

Klein.

I'm interested very much,

Lisa.

Please,

thank you.

Bruce Mumu,

you

look

closely watched the Ross.

That's marvelous.

I don't see how you do it.

Oh, it's a child's toy.

I have done far more important things in my day.

That is true.

Grandfather has made clocks for royalty for kings.

He has a drawer full of medals.

Oh, Liebchen, Liebchen is wrong.

I cut my finger on a knife.

Oh, let me bandage it for you.

It's just a scratch. Show me.

Yeah.

There it is, fixed now.

Yeah, you can fix everything that your grandfather

is skilled hand should be able to repair anything.

You should have been a doctor, Mr. Klein.

Strange you say.

So, when I was a young man, my father wanted me to be a surgeon.

Why didn't you?

Oh, human bodies full of laws, very imperfect by the clockwork.

A good chronometer.

That is perfection.

You mean because it doesn't bleed when it gets it's minute hand like I did?

Oh, holy shit.

I wasn't talking about you.

You as a one human being was never disappointed me.

She is my finest creation, please, what will Mr.

Russell think, such a foolish dog?

No, I don't find it foolish at all.

I should be going.

Thank you for a wonderful evening. Pleasure.

Pleasure.

I will repair your Christ, not my friend.

You come back on Friday.

It should be ready Friday. I'll be fine.

Yeah.

I'll see you there,Mr.

Ross.

Well, I'll see him to the door.

Yeah, visit.

Oh, I see you again, of course, on Friday.

You know, that's not what I meant.

I was talking about just the two of us

here, you.

The old man

was certainly wrong in asking for a date.

Is there

something you don't know?

You don't understand?

She wants to protect me from what?

Surely he can't object to your going out with me.

Lisa.

You see,

he can't bear to see me out of his sight, so he's jealous, I can see that

you don't see Lisa.

Please go now.

All right.

I'm going to see you again.

You and I are going to see a lot of each other.

Lisa.

Lisa.

Well, where do we go from here, lady?

Who said anything about leaving, huh?

Oh.

Yes, leaving Alice, we won't have any tears when we

we're not going to make a big scene out of this.

Just try to cheer him up after I'm gone, won't you?

Good bye.

Bye.

Oh.

But,

Lisa,

something happened this afternoon at the office,

you didn't get fired.

Who may

best engineer in the firm?

No, I got promoted.

I'm being transferred to Seattle.

You're going away. We are going away.

Donna.

But, Dana, the two of us,

you and I,

Mr. and Mrs.

Dane Ross.
