There was another scene we ended up cutting. It was a fantasy scene that we staged at Madison Square Garden with the then Knicks, like Bill Bradley and Earl Monroe. We had the Knicks playing against five great philosophers. One was Kierkegaard, I remember. One was Nietzsche. Kierkegaard was a hunchback, so the actor who played him was either a hunchback or we made him one. And the thing that we were showing was the awkwardness of those great thinkers in real life and how graceless the cerebral act is compared to the beauty of physical acts.
