BOYS BOYS!  Let's behave now.  I saw the theatre version of the movie 4
times, (read the book after th first time) saw it on video tape once, and
had it confirmed with several friends who saw it more times than I did that
references to Peter being Scotty's nephew were not in the movie -- at least
not the ones I saw.

May I suggest that the person who insists that it was (I'll go under the
assumption HE wasn't drugs) might have been fortunate to go to a movie
theatre that showed a different cutting?
