NoA cited the entire exchange as being objectionable. As Crockford explains:
What was Nintendo's problem with the dialogue? Was it the brutal exposition of parental neglect in the disintegration of an American family?

That was never our intention, so we changed Ed's speech to "He hasn't slept in 5 years," which helps to explain why Dr. Fred is never seen in his bedroom.
