& Peggy: Fox is offering you The Diary of Anne Frank for the third time.
Hitchcock: The audience would spend the entire picture... waiting for Miss Frank to discover the corpse I’d hidden in the attic.
& Peggy: MGM wants you for the Шan Fleming book Casino Royale, with Cary Grant. Definitely your style.
Hitchcock: Doesn’t she know I just made that movie? It was called North by Northwest. And style, my dear, is mere self-plagiarism.
& Hitchcock: I just want you to read this little bit here. It takes place in the motel bathroom.
Alma: „Mary started to scream. And then the curtains parted farther... and a hand appeared, holding a butcher’s knife. It was the knife that, a moment later, cut off her scream... and her head.” Charming. Doris Day should do it as a musical. That is nothing but low-budget, horror movie claptrap.
Hitchcock: But what if someone really good made a horror picture?
& Lew: I’ve seen happier faces on a school bus going over a cliff.
Hitchcock: But they can’t stop looking, can they?
& Hitchcock: Audiences want to be shocked, Barney. They want something different, and this is it.
Barney: Every time you want to do something different... like The Wrong Man or Vertigo... someone loses money.
Hitchcock: So, we should stop trying to give them something new?
& Lew: How much do you think you can make this picture for?
Hitchcock: $800,000, give or take.
Ω Even if it was _those_ $$...
& Hitchcock: You know, the only thing worse than a visit to the dentist... is a visit to the censor.
& Geoffrey Shurlock: The code will absolutely not permit you to show a knife penetrating a woman’s flesh.
Hitchcock: I assure you, Geoffrey... my murders are always models of taste and discretion.
Shurlock: Is there any improper suggestion of nudity... in this murder scene in the shower?
Hitchcock: She won’t be nude, she’ll be wearing a shower cap.
Shurlock: We might accept a shot from outside the bathroom window... of Marion in silhouette, above the shoulders... provided that the glass is frosted.
Hitchcock: Thank you.
Shurlock: And... this scene with a toilet.
Hitchcock: Well, it is completely necessary to show the toilet... because Marion Crane attempts to flush evidence down it. Remnants of which are later discovered by her sister. These remnants, you understand, are clues to her vanishing.
Shurlock: No American movie has ever found it necessary to show a toilet... let alone to flush one.
Hitchcock: Well, perhaps we ought to shoot the film in France. Use a bidet instead.
Shurlock: Mister Hitchcock... if this office denies you a seal... and we’re certainly heading in that direction... your movie will not be released in a single theater in this country. Will you be making jokes then?
& Hitchcock: Am I making a terrible mistake? What if it’s another Vertigo?
& Stefano: I want to thank you once again for this opportunity, Mister Hitchcock.
Hitchcock: You may call me Hitch, hold the „cock.”
& Hitchcock: All right, come on, you two. Let’s get started. I wanted to talk about Marion’s arrival at the Bates Motel.
Ω Coming soon.
& Hitchcock: Why do they do it, I wonder? Why do they always betray me?
& Alma: You may not be the easiest man to live with... but you do know how to cut a picture better than anyone else.
Hitchcock: Except for you.
& — What do you think?
Peggy: I think I’ll never have a shower again.
& Hitchcock: I have a modest proposal to make. If you’re willing to leave the shower sequence as it is... I will reshoot the opening love scene to your exact specifications. In fact, I would welcome your personal supervision on the set.
Shurlock: To my specifications?!
Hitchcock: Well, of course, my dear fellow. If only audiences could fully comprehend... how tirelessly you work to help us entertain them... while protecting them from filth and indecency, well...
& Hitchcock: You know, Alma... I will never be able to find a Hitchcock blonde... as beautiful as you.
Alma: I’ve waited 30 years to hear you say that.
Hitchcock: And that, my dear, is why they call me... The Master of Suspense.
