He'll cause trouble for you!" Beaumont then says something like "Oh, I'm not afraid of him" and Silver replies "Well, I'm not easily frightened, sir...you should know that. But what you're planning is dangerous!" And Beaumont answers "Don't you suppose I know that Silver?"The Roan version cuts out the middle of that dialog, so that it ends up something like: Silver: "I wish you'd keep away from...that man, sir. He'll........" [JUMP CUT]Then it continues with Silver saying: "But what you're planning is dangerous!", and Beaumont replying "Don't you suppose I know that Silver?"All the part about "I'm not afraid of hiim" and "I'm not easily frightened...you should know that" is gone.However, I have some very inferior VHS tapes of the movie that have that dialog intact (but then, often instead cut part of the dialog when Beaumont goes down to meet Madeline & Neil), and/or the shot of Madeline in her underwear getting ready for her wedding.No one version seems to have all 3 of these parts intact.But other than that, the Roan version is superior...sound could definitely be cleaned up a bit but.....
