"For all the complaining I've done thus far, it's nothing compared to the complaining I'm about to do," warns Lem Dobbs before discussing the cut scene where Ann-Margret plays Valentine's ex-wife, who delivers a monologue of a tirade against Valentine. Dobbs understands why Steven Soderbergh cut it. Evidently nothing was right about it. Dobbs mentions how the "movie Gods" were against the production of that scene, but he feels it was a very important scene to the overall film, that she served as the "audience identification" character. He also liked how it was Valentine retreating to the past to get away from someone who is coming after him for something he did in the past. Soderbergh felt it grounded the movie to a halt. "But that was your direction of it," responds Dobbs. "Uh, no. I don't think so," says Soderbergh. "I directed the hell out of it."
