Als die Kuss-Szene im Director's Cut abgeblendet wird, sieht man nur im Director's Cut, wie James im Bett liegt und aus seinem Schlaf erwacht. Er blickt zu Mirandas Seite, die aber leer ist. Als er nach ihr ruft, aber keine Antwort bekommt, steigt er aus dem Bett heraus, zieht sich etwas über und läuft aus dem Bild. Die Kuss-Szene ist in der Kinofassung dafür etwas länger (allerdings nur verschwommen zu sehen).

Furthermore, he asks her whether she knows why they fly together. Miranda wants to know why and James tells her that is because they are friends. Miranda says that she counted eleven. James answers that that is one plus one and that two was the number of love. When he asks her whether Miranda knew that, she says that she had never heard of that before.
