The badly edited kitchen scene jump to the neighbor's house. I know some have mentioned it was because of the "I hate pizza hut line" but I think there was actually a much larger sequence here that taken out because Spielberg thought the danger was revealed too soon and ruined the tree scene coming up. Would have loved to see this scene though.

DIANE You can't believe the feeling.

STEVE What's the gag? There a magnet back there? He looks behind the door in the dining room. Nothing. Steve just stands for a long moment in hapless silence, then...

STEVE I hate Pizza Hut! Where's supper? I don' t understand, Diane. What the hell's going on around here? Steve sidesteps the chalk marks, removing himself from the active area.

DIANE I figured I'd never explain it to you. So I showed you instead, but don't ask me how or what. Just help me figure out what to do. STEVE You mean there's no gimmick? DIANE Not from inside the house. Maybe Tuthill got himself a super remote from the Radio Shack.

Carol Anne adjusts her helmet and sits inside her launch circle. Diane and Steve are having the discussion across the room and aren't aware of her.

STEVE Maybe the shakeup and this thing...relate.

DIANE No beep

CAROL ANNE Daddy, look at me!! They turn but it's too late. Carol Anne shoots across the room faster than before, and with no one to catch her.

ANGLE-KITCHEN WALL

At a sickening speed her helmet smashes into the wall. Diane SCREAMS Steve runs over. An eight-inch hole in the wall and the cracked plastic on the helmet testify to the force of impact. Carol Anne is dazed but unhurt.

CAROL ANNE You promised pizza.
