So 45 minutes of work.
And he would work on my script on high anxiety with me.
And he said, well, don't leave out this and don't leave out that.
He said, what are you going to do about the birds?
I said, well, gee, at the moment I haven't included it.
And he said, well, why don't you have them attack you with their duty?
He said, it's going to be funny.
Thank you, Mr. Hitchcock.
So he gave me the birds and he gave me a couple of others.
He gave me one joke I couldn't use.
He's a very, very interesting writer.
Well, I couldn't use it because it wasn't part of his work.
And he saw the rough cut of high anxiety.
And he got up and wiggled by me.
I said, oh, my God, it's, ah, I'm ruined.
