The Fifth Element

Loc Rhod slips along the wall with a sigh. He gives Cornelius a knowing smile.

LOC RHOD

This guy is a killer with the babes. I knew it from the moment I laid eyes on him.

Cornelius and Loc Rhod burst out laughing. Korben and Leeloo keep on kissing.

INT. LABORATORY

We are in the Nucleological Laboratory that gave birth to Leeloo in the beginning of our story. The President enters the lab followed by a group of officials in ceremonial dress.

MUNRO

Mr. President, let me introduce you to Professor Mactilburgh, who runs the center.

MACTILBURGH

It's an honor to receive you. Mr. President.

PRESIDENT

(beaming)

Yes... Well? Where are our two heroes?

MACTILBURGH

They were so tired from their ordeal that we put them in the reactor this morning...

PRESIDENT

I have 19 more meetings after this one Professor...

PROFESSOR

Of course... Let me see if they're revived.

AIDE

We go live in one minute, Mr. President.

Mactilburgh goes to the reactor and opens a small slot which allows him to see what is going on under the blue shield.

Leeloo and Korben are naked, arms wrapped around each other, kissing and probably engaged in hoppi hoppa. Mactilburgh looks troubled.

MACTILBURGH

I... uh... they need five more minutes, Mr. President.

The President, pressed for time, looks over to his aide who in struggling with a phone call.

AIDE

No ma'am... I tried... No ma'am...

PRESIDENT

Who is it?

AIDE

Some woman... claims she's Korben's mother...

PRESIDENT

Give it here...

The President takes the phone and goes to the window.

PRESIDENT

Mrs. Dallas, this in the President. On behalf of the entire Federation, I would like to thank...

MOTHER (V.O.)

Don't pull that crap with me, Finger... I'd recognize that trash can voice of yours in a dark alley during a rain storm. You tell that worthless no account son of mine he should plotz for the way he's ignored his mother... when I think of all I sacrificed for him...

EXT. NEW YORK

Outside the lab we see the President through the window, holding the phone away from his ear.

PAN slowly across Manhattan.

Credits Roll as two full rising silver moons ascend in the dark blue sky.
