The Mayor's speech

In the movie the Mayor and his wife walk up the red carpet and to the ribbon. In the TV-version there's something in between:
The Mayor greets the announcer and takes place behind the microphone.

* Mayor: Thank you, thank you. I thank you my friends. This is a memorable night for our great city. The eyes of the world are upon us, as we dedicate a building, lofty enough to match the ideals by which we try to live.
Applause.
Bigelow taps Duncan. Duncan takes the scissors and gives them to Patty.
* Duncan: I want you to present the mayor these scissors, will you ?
And when the mayor walks up to the ribbon, indeed we see Patty presenting him the scissors.
