09:15-09:21 / 09:28-12:48

The theatrical version only has a longer shot of Joan here on the psychotherapist's last comment. Then it's right on with the women's panel's discussion of witches at the cocktail party.

In the Extended, there is an immediate soft fade from the same shot of Joan to a few more scenes of her in everyday life. Joan walks through the supermarket and picks up something at the dry cleaners. At the car wash, she sits paralyzed in the car.

At home, a conversation with daughter Nikki ensues. She wants to know more about her brother, who died before Nikki was born. Joan is a bit annoyed by this, as she would have discussed this with her before. Nikki apologizes and Joan wants to know why she is even interested in this right now. Nikki just presses the issue a bit.

Jack then comes in and interrupts the conversation. He immediately complains that Joan closed the garage door. Shortly after, he says goodbye again and makes the snide comment to Nikki that she should try to stay a virgin tonight.

At last you can see the scenes of the cocktail party earlier.

Extended 194.2 sec (= 3:14 min) longer



18:47 / 22:14-22:50

Joan looks around the room of the tarot lady (Marion) for a longer time. She turns over first cards and comments that courage, willpower and determination would be strong. Then, for Shirley, "the dark, evil woman" is revealed and comments that she would probably have done some harm to another woman with dark hair.

36.3 sec

20:31 / 24:34-24:47

Shirley digs in again on the meaning of the card, as she can't place the queen. Marion suggests that she might just be wrong.

13.2 sec

21:35 / 25:51-28:18

The shot of Joan, which already seems rather choppy in the theatrical version, is longer. Marion mentions some more that other people would have already been helped in dealing with a poltergeist or prophetic dreams.

There follows another long conversation of Shirley and Joan during the car ride back. Joan is critical of the visit, saying that being a witch would probably be all the rage for housewives now. They also talk about sex without love and Joan now says that there might have been something to the card reading. She asks Shirley if she is really convinced that her husband Larry is faithful. Shirley says that she would have thought about David's wife and admits after Joan's surprise that she once felt something for a David.

When Joan asks what Shirley wants to drink, the theatrical version immediately fades to a shot of Shirley emptying her glass.

In the Extended, Joan is seen doing this for a bit longer and Gregg then prepares the women some martini. The neighborhood help is discussed critically. A small discussion breaks out about the encounter with Marion and what it would be like for Joan to become a witch. Shirley brings up that this is probably about a certain thrill. Gregg provokes the girls a bit: Some women just wouldn't be able to face the fact that they would eventually "turn to dust." He then calms the waters a bit and Shirley asks him to refill Martini.

Extended 190.9 sec (= 3:11 min) longer
