Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Benny & Joon (1993)?

There were two scenes which were in the original script and filmed, but were cut from the final version of the film. One scene had the Kamp Komfort manager (
Brian Doyle-Murray
) dress up in a moose costume and sneak into Clark and Ellens tent to scare them (which explains the "wildlife fun" the manager mentioned as they checked in). That scene was cut because it made the sequence run too long, so it was re-written to have Dinky sneak into the tent instead. The second scene originally written/filmed but cut was a scene featuring the two Indians (the same ones who see Clark wandering aimlessly through the desert and say "What an asshole.") as well as a camel rider, who find Ellen and the rest of the family and rescue them. That scene was cut because according to Director
Harold Ramis
