That scene isn't in the Uncut version or the Director's Cut, but it is in the very shortest theatrical version. I find that strange and funny all at the same time.

I wonder why it didn't make the longer versions? Someone referred to it in another forum I was at a while back and I had no idea what they were talking about - kept looking for it in both of the versions I have and was mystified. Thought I must be missing some background dialogue that just wasn't subtitled. I've never seen the original, shorter theatrical release so now my confusion is, er, less confusing.
