Adrian Lyne also heavily rewrote the scene involving the biblical Jacob's ladder at the end of the film. Writer Bruce Joel Rubin had written the scene to involve a massive staircase ascending into the clouds, with crowds of people lining it, towering columns, and huge gates at the summit. Again however, Lyne felt that such an image could come across as preposterous (he refers to Rubin's original conception as the Liberace scene on the DVD commentary track). As such, Lyne rewrote the scene to involve simply the staircase in Jacob's house, basing this on the principle that heaven is wherever you were happiest.
