I had occasion to watch “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” S2E36, “Father and Son” last night and missed the last line.

From my TV guide app: “Sam Saunders (Charles Davis) is caught between a father who refuses to give him any more money, and a girlfriend who won’t marry him unless he’s in the chips.”

The story involves a ne’er-do-well son who makes some money by turning in his father’s friend who is wanted by the police, for a reward.

The thing is, I missed the last several seconds of dialog due to an unrelated loud crash from my kitchen.

At the very end, the father says something to the son. Does anybody know what he said?

It might be weeks before MeTV re-runs this episode again and I’ll most-likely miss it then so if anyone has a sterling memory and can help me out I’d appreciate it.

Wow, talk about a quick response. I admit I never thought about searching for a transcript.

Thank you both.
