When I was a young man like you. Son, I held a woman too. Held her in my naked hands. When I was a young man. Now you know how it feels. Women are as slick as eels. Woman, quicker than the asp. Always slipping from your grasp
Take it from a man no longer young. If you want to hold a woman, son. Hang a chain around her throat. Made of many carat gold. Shackle her from wrist to wrist. With sterling silver bracelets. Fill her pockets full of stones. Precious ones, diamonds. Bind her with a golden band. Take it from an old man

see the thing is it's really hard to have an onscreen narrator in a movie the way you have an onstage narrator in theatre so of course it makes sense to cut it and have the narration be done by the main character's voice as an overlay. perfectly normal and reasonable decision unless by doing that you have to cut every instance of the onstage narrator affecting the plot itself and therefore completely cut the emotional core of the story.
