1) Go to the Special Features menu, page 1, and access the list of Deleted Scenes, Page 1. While looking at the first list of 8 of the 14 deleted scenes, manuever to highlight the [SPECIAL FEATURES] box at the bottom middle of the screen. Then push Left to highlight the Watermelon.

Quotes
In the main menu of the DVD, there are 3 jet cars at the top of the menu, move your cursor so that the middle on is highlighted and enter into the quotes section of the DVD.
What Might Have Been
Per the "Quotes" egg, move your cursor up to the middle of the three jet cars at the top of the screen. (This is not as obvious as it seems -- it takes a move *left* from the top menu item.) Now, move the cursor left or right -- a large "light" or "knob" at the upper left of the screen will turn green with the highlight. Hit OK/Enter/whatever your system uses, and see 36 or so pages of prototype DVD interfaces that could have been, but weren't
