Hi Brian,

That appears in Nabokov's introduction to the screenplay (page x in the Vintage edition):

"Long before, in Lugano, I had adumbrated the sequence at the Enchanted Hunters Hotel, but its exact mechanism now proved tremendously difficult to adjust so as to render by the transparent interplay of sound effects and trick shots both a humdrum morning and a crucial moment in the lives of a desperate pervert and a wretched child."

Regards,

James
