I noticed that, Rich, and I thought I noticed a couple of other lines that were different, though I've forgotten what they were right this minute. The last version shown on tv (with the added footage) had Webb's line shortened also. There seem to be differences in each of the versions I have, stereo video, THX video, and the ones copied from tv. Very odd, indeed.
You are right about how much clearer everything was on the big screen. The night scenes, in particular, really looked great. I could actually see Alice crawling up to Uncas in the Glade, and I could even hear her whimpering, which I cannot hear on any of my videos. Did you notice that you could see both Alice & Uncas lying together after their...*ahem*...UNTIMELY demises? I've never been able to make that out on video, either. All in all, it was absolutely wonderful to see it on the BIG screen! You really came through for us, Mighty Mohican Mentor!
