Agreed, but without showing it, it would be extremely confusing to the audience. After watching the extended scene, it would have been really bad if they left that all in. Plus the scene is funny with the eddie van halen tape, and also uses the contents of Doc’s luggage with the hair dryer for another gag.

This is how the scene was in the final cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHZctSnNrsw
And then there’s a follow-up scene the next day, where George tells “Calvin Klein” about the encounter.
Having George retell it worked way better than showing it directly, IMO.
