    The other thing about it now is they cut the scene in every version of the film that establishes Ace is using his “powers” for good: when he pretends to be a trainer of dolphins to head off the reporters. Without that scene, he’s just an asshole the whole film.

    Ace Ventura: Heinz Getwellvet. I am trainer of dolphins. You want to talk to de dolphin, you talk to me.

    Reporter #1: What happened to the regular trainer?

    Ace Ventura: Vat happened to him? Vat happened to me? Seven years I am wit Siegfried.

    [he holds up only four fingers]

    Ace Ventura: Ve are making de dolphins disappear, und den Roy is coming wit ze tiger und ze shtuffing in de pants und den I’m gone.

    Reporter #2: [skeptically] Where is Snowflake?

    Ace Ventura: Why do you care about Snowflake? Do you know him? Does he call you at home?

    [shouts]

    Ace Ventura: Do you have a dorsal fin? To train ze dolphin you must zink like ze dolphin! You must be getting inside ze dolphin’s head. I am saying to Snowflake, “Akay!.. Akay Akay Akay?” und he is saying “AKay Akay!” und he is up on ze tail “Eeeeeeeeee!” und you can quote him!

    [Ace spits]
