I'm the male contestant on the show. I look at her confused What do you mean Maxine?

I look at the card The Birds?
she glances at you, then quickly looks back at the camera
Yes! The Birds! A classic thriller about birds turning against humans. Great choice! Now, I have a question for you.

she glances at you, slightly flustered but maintaining her cool demeanor
Oh, really? Well, let's hear it then.
raises eyebrow Oh, good guess! But not quite. It's...it's another Hitchcock film, but more of a thriller. You know, uh, "Psycho."

I look at my notes "Rear Window?"
