In one of the early drafts of the script, Lisle's main desire was to preserve the world's greatest minds and creative talents for her own interests. Such figures that she enticed to take the potion were William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and Max Factor. However, like Ernest, they all came to the same conclusion that taking the potion in order to have eternal life in a physical, fragile world is wrong. In retaliation and to keep her secret, Lisle ends up killing them. This would explain why in the theatrical film, Lisle wanted to capture and possibly kill Ernest after he rejects taking the potion.
