A segunda prova vem do seguinte trecho do rascunho de produção do script , que tornou óbvio que Jeffrey não sabia do vírus. Claro, no filme real, esse diálogo é significativamente diferente. Mas depois de muita deliberação, eu acho que a revisão não tinha a intenção de mudar o papel de Jeffrey, mas apenas para tornar a revelação menos óbvia do que originalmente escrito aqui (e que seu comentário revisado "Tarde demais!" o que seu pai estava falando):
"Sequestrando a cena de Leland Goines" como está escrito no roteiro de produção do script :
LELAND: I took myself out of the loop! I don't have the code anymore. I don't have access to the virus. So, go ahead -- torture me, but you can't extract anything of use to yourself.
The ACTIVISTS are all exchanging puzzled looks.
JEFFREY: What...virus?
LELAND: She knew about it, Jeffrey. She knew you were going to try this.
JEFFREY: What virus are we talking about, Dad?
LELAND: You're insane, Jeffrey.
JEFFREY: You "develop" viruses and you're calling me insane? Typical. What does this virus attack? Don't tell me, you sick fuck, it doesn't matter. (to the others) Have I ever "developed" a virus? Do I put helpless animals in cages and measure their reactions to electrical stimuli? Do I inject radioactive substances into living creatures and examine their bowel movements? Wow! And I'm crazy!
LELAND: Please tell me, Jeffrey, what exactly are you going to do? I don't have to tell you I'm afraid.
JEFFREY: THIS IS A FUCKING EXPERIMENT! YOU'RE OUR HELPLESS LITTLE TEST ANIMAL, DADDY. GOT THAT? NOW -- WHAT FUCKING VIRUS HAVE YOU COME UP WITH, YOU DEMENTED FUCKING MANIAC?
