Crazy part from the Dylan Tichenor interview about deleted stuff:
"TICHENOR: This is the fireside chat. This scene was originally many times this length. A lot more dialogue. Sections about his children and the baby-mamas, etc. About Alma’s desire to be a wife… a lot… minutes. But, ultimately, and from the beginning really, it was rhythmically obviously too long, but also way too many things in it. In paring down the film we took out most of this scene, so it plays as part of the falling-in-love date and not as its own chapter"
Im glad that stuff isnt in the movie. It kind of complicates things a bit too much although it's not unrealistic for the times.
