1:00:01
Two times I made him laugh out loud,
so we had to do it over.
1:00:04
That was one scene, and the other
scene was I threw in a line
1:00:07
when we're going down
the mountain in the car.
1:00:09
The car is going off the road,
we have no brakes.
1:00:12
The guy's tried to kill us
by screwing our brakes up,
1:00:14
and she's climbing all over me,
and I threw in that line,
1:00:17
-"God, I gotta get off this road."
- (Horn Blaring)
1:00:19
- I gotta get off this road.
- And he just laughed out loud.
1:00:26
(Black) He must have known
I was sort of, like, good with English.
1:00:28
He was always testing me.
He said to me,
1:00:32
(Imitating Hitchcock) "Your work today
was very perspicacious, Miss Black."
1:00:38
"Oh, perspicacious.
Doesn't that mean 'keenly perceptive'?"
1:00:42
"I was being keenly perceptive today?"
1:00:44
"Is that what you mean, Mr Hitchcock?"
1:00:46
(Imitating Hitchcock) "Yes!
You were keenly perceptive today."
1:00:50
"Your work was keenly perceptive."
1:00:52
Alfred Hitchcock, obviously, had
always appeared in his own pictures,
1:00:56
and one of the first things
one would ask is,
1:00:59
Where are you going to want
to appear?"
1:01:01
And Mr Hitchcock
never gave me the answer,
1:01:04
and he really didn't know.
1:01:06
And we talked about many places,
and I suggested many places,
1:01:09
and he always vetoed them.
1:01:11
(Dern) He says, "I'm thinking
of not making an appearance."
1:01:15
I said, "A w, God. I think
you got to make an appearance."
1:01:18
He said, W ell, how about
that I do but I don't?"
1:01:24
And he said, "How about I don't appear,
but my image appears?"
1:01:30
"So, how would you do that?"
He said, W atch this."
1:01:33
(Typewriter Clacking, Dinging)
1:01:35
No, there is no death certificate here
for Edward Shoebridge.
1:01:38
Only Harry J Shoebridge
and Sadie L Shoebridge.
1:01:42
(Kazanjian) It wasn't till we were
long in the picture
1:01:45
that he came up with the idea of using
his silhouette behind the office door.
1:01:49
And he said,
"I'll be talking to a woman there."
1:01:53
And I put Ellen Sway in there.
1:01:55
It was my role to pick that person,
so I put Ellen Sway,
1:01:59
who was a dear old extra.
