Alfred Hitchcock: That, my dear, is why they call me the Master of Suspense.
Alfred Hitchcock: You may call me Hitch. Hold the Cock.
Alfred Hitchcock: My contract guarantees me final cut on all of my pictures.
Barney Balaban: It also states that Paramount doesn't have to release anything that might cause the studio embarrassment!
