Was the Frank and Morton scene on the mountainside always in the movie?  It seems out of place.

Jill goes back to her home to look for the "Station" model, but Frank is already there (nighttime, I think).  Cut to Frank and Morton on the mountainside (daytime).  Cut to Harmonica and Cheyenne beginning to build the station, knowing that Jill is captured (daytime).  Cut to Jill and Frank in bed (nighttime).

The Frank/Morton scene is really good on its own, but doesn't work in its location.  Because then, why did Jill stick around for Frank to come back?
