Long Goodbye

Rear Window

             It shows every kind of human behaviour - a real index of individual behaviour. The picture would have been very dull if we hadn't done that. What you see across the way is a group of little stories ...... that mirror a small universe.

Alfred Hitchcock

What Might Have Been

    Lost chances are as much a part of life as chances taken, and a story cannot dwell on what might have been.

All They Play

           Who likes the taste of being hurt. That makes you lower than the mice and the roaches. At least they try to save their skins, they get a normal outlook. But you, you're just a clown that ain't funny. And that's a sad picture, that's the saddest picture of all. Like on the outside it's the stupid crazy smile and inside it's a gloomy place where all they play is the blues.
