Above sequence, which is not in the book, has the effect of visually underscoring the conflict and 

further delineating Mark's and Daniel's own bitter history,

Other sequences memorable from the book are re-created with mixed success, including Bridget's arrival at a "Tarts and Vicars" party 

in full [Playboy] bunny regalia, (有時用作單數) 王位(或官階) 標誌王權禮服

[mortified] to discover the party theme had been changed, and an infamous scene that finds Bridget trying to scurry [up] a fire pole.
