Popeye comes to Geezil earlier and asks for food with vitamins. Castor is stumbling around in the background.

Popeye: "Bunch of carricks?
Geezil: "No. No."
Popeye: "You ain't got no carricks? What are those, prunes?"
Geezil: "Phooey on carrots. Take broccoli."
Popeye: "I am in the mood for carricks. I need me vitamins."

14.6 sec




08:00 / 09:34-09:59

The tax collector addresses Popeye some more, but then rather quickly disappears to go after some kids. Popeye takes more steps up and almost bumps into another guy.

Tax collector: "You're not up to no good, are you? 'Cause if you are, there's a 50-cent up to no good tax. Kids. Kids."
Popeye: "Cherubs there."
Tax collector: "Come here. Come back."
Popeye: "Hey, careful there. What blew him into town? The short arm of the law, huh?"

24.2 sec




08:43 / 10:45-10:56

Popeye staggers around grumbling some more before entering the house; "Scums, I'll find you!"
In the process, he also tears off a piece of the railing in between; "Don't make 'em like they used to."

Before Popeye goes up the stairs, you can see Olive standing at the top again.

The shot inside starts insignificantly earlier.

Olive is discussing something else with her mother.

Nana: "What are you looking for?"
Olive: "A glass."
Nana: "Here's a glass."
Olive: "That's a short, fat, ugly glass. I want a tall, pretty, slender glass."
Nana: "They're all broken."

By the way, sloppy editing on the EU DVD: Two frames of the shot of Olivia remained included here as well.

9.2 sec




13:09 / 15:56-15:58

A long shot starts a little earlier, and as it does, you can hear, "You owe me an apology."

2 sec




13:18 / 16:07-16:31

More discussion around the table.

Popeye: "That does look good there. Wish I had a plate, though."
Nana: "Four times engaged is three times much."
Olive: "He can't talk me out of anything. I'm not a child."
Castor: "I'll say you're not a child."
Olive: "Who says I'm not a child?"
Castor: "You said you're not a child, and I agreed with you."
Olive: "Who asked you to agree with me?"
Castor: "No one can stop me from agreeing with you if I want to."
Olive: "I can."
Cole: "Quarreling at my table. You both owe me an apology."
Castor: "Sorry, Pop."

That's also what Olive's indignant "What?" refers to, which is included again in the EU version afterwards.

Shortly after, a shot starts insignificantly earlier.

1.5 sec
.


13:37 / 16:52-17:08

Nana asks some more, "Have you, Cole?"
Castor: "I'd never let a girl break my engagement. I'd break her nose before she broke my engagement. And you better not try on me what you pulled on Bluto, because I'm no pushover."
Cole: "You owe your sister an apology."
Nana: "Will you stop fidgeting?"

Another bumbling cut, as Popeye's body position changes abruptly between cuts.

Popeye is left alone at the table and says, "Never good to be too full, I guess."

The follow up shot then begins earlier with Butch going after the drunk guy with a hat.

7.4 sec




23:08 / 27:20-27:38

Another baddie grabs another guy; "Do you apologize?"
The intimidated guy immediately says, "I apologize. Rosie, get my hat. I think it's time we leave. Gotta get back to the dairy--"
The baddie then grabs him and puts him on a stove. When the guy gets up from this shortly after with his butt in heat, he gets a nasty look. Submissively, the guy sits right back down on the stove and the others laugh.

Recut
25:46 or 25:49-25:52 / 31:06-31:17

...As well as a little longer. Recut to the people, then he says, "Well, better be on me way. Au reservoir."

However, the shot of the people (first screenshot) is inserted again shortly after in the EU version.

Original version 8.3 sec longer.




Recut / Alternative.
26:02-26:29 / 31:31-32:10

In the original version, the people are chattering away in confusion again. Then Popeye walks around outside and there you can see Bluto continuing to sort out flowers.
Olive then rolls up her stockings and the follow up shot of her also starts earlier than in the EU version.


In the EU version instead, another shot of Olive and Bluto now comes right closer to the door. On the one hand, here you see previously cut half-totals, then one that actually comes half a minute later. In between, also here the shot where Olive rolls up her stockings.


Original version 10.4 sec longer.



Alternative / Recut.
26:59-27:02 / 32:41-32:51

While the EU version reinserts the shot of the chattering people from the previous cut here, the original version shows Bluto walking up the stairs. This has already been shown shortened in the EU in the previous cut.

Original version 5.8 sec longer.
