'He gets up, looks in the loo, there is blood.'

"We sense history might have been different had Napoleon not had a very bad attack of piles on the day of Waterloo," Scott explained, referencing the Battle of Waterloo.

"So I had him at Waterloo... sitting on the loo, and it's pouring with rain outside, and he does his business. He gets up, looks in the loo, there is blood. Then he does the day in battle, sweating and in agony with the piles." Scott continued: "David [Scarpa, the screenwriter] said, 'Isn't this rather undignified?' I said, 'Maybe, but it's accurate.' But we took it out of the movie because it became too distracting."
