You don't know them.

The following scene is not included in the finished movie.


======

The scene takes place on the day following Jake's emergency visit to Penny's cabin to treat her after her abortion.

Furthermore, the scene takes place after the family breakfast, where Jake said initially that the family would leave the resort early. Jake changed his mind about the early departure only because Lisa said she was planning to participate in the talent show.

======

In this scene, Baby is wearing the same outfit as she had worn on her way to breakfast.



======

At the scene's beginning, Baby is seen in a mirror. Females in the movie audience subconsciously identify with Baby by looking into a mirror and seeing Baby..

======

It's just those guys ....

It's just those Gentile guys.

======

They're bad, and they're mean ...

Since Jake thinks that Johnny is responsible for Penny's pregnancy and abortion, Jake has some reason to characterize Johnny as bad.

However, Jake has no valid reason to characterize Johnny as mean.

Jake characterizes Johnny as mean only because Johnny is a Gentile guy -- just like the mean Gentile guys who beat up Jake and Uncle Dave, just for being Jews, during their childhood.

======

In regard to characterizing Johnny, Jake is wrong and Baby is right.

Therefore, Baby feels morally justified in disobeying her father's ethnic prohibition. Later that very same day, she goes to Johnny's cabin and gets into bed with him sexually.

======

This scene's Jewish subtext was too strong and disturbing, and so the scene was cut from the movie.
