I'm almost entirely certain that most of Ben's long speech does not appear
in the film, because it would be terribly conspicuous piece of narrative
exposition, much of it irrelevant to the story at hand, since we don't need it
to understand what's going on.
Actually, I'm very pleased to learn about the omitted verbosity, because it
speaks well either of the editor or Alec Guiness for having the sense not to
include extraneous dialogue.
