I was watching the workprint and release version side by side again last night...

Something weird -- I noticed that the scene where Zig-Zag and Tack pass each other on the stairs, ("We'll see who wins at the end of the day") is not only horribly mangled by being squished into fullscreen (sigh), but...

I'd thought this was my imagination. It isn't. On the Miramax dvd, Zig-Zag clearly says "I'm taking *the* balls and leaving!", but in the workprint, he clearly says "I'm taking *my* balls and leaving."

Why...was this changed? Was it really worth the trouble? Is the most obvious joke really not the comparison to a "I'm taking my toys and going home!" sort of statement?

Even more interesting, on the Miramax dvd, if you listen closely to the echo while Zig-Zag is speaking, his echo still says "my".

Can anyone shed some light on this weird thing?
