Who can say why they made the decisions they did? But the filmmakers regularly cherry-picked bits and pieces of the original dialogue and repurposed them without maintaining their context or meaning. Whether that is because they didn't understand or just wanted some pithy-sounding phrases is really something we can only speculate upon, isn't it?
