INDEPENDENCE DAY

EXT. DRY LAKE - DESERT - MINUTES LATER

Several army JEEPS race across the arid desert floor.  As they
WHIP past we see they are headed towards a gigantic BLACK
PLUME OF SMOKE in the distance.

ANGLE PLUME OF SMOKE

The Jeeps SKID to a halt.  Jasmine and Constance are the first
to leap off the Jeeps.

Steve and David walk towards us, cigars in their mouths.
Jasmine races over to him.

JASMINE
You scared the hell out of me.

STEVE
Yeah, but what an entrance!

JASMINE
Dick-weed.

STEVE
Butt-munch.

Constance comes running up to David, hugs him tightly.

CONSTANCE
Are you all right?

DAVID
Did it work?

CONSTANCE
You bet it did.

She hugs him.  They kiss.

ANGLE - STEVE AND JASMINE

Behind them Dylan, Patricia, the President and General Grey
come walking over.  The President and General Grey approach.

PRESIDENT
We're getting reports from all
over.  Their ships are going down!

As they begin to celebrate, they look up to the sky.

GROUP POV - BRILLIANT LIGHTS IN THE SKIES

The debris from the Mother Ship explosion enters the
atmosphere like thousands of SHOOTING STARS.  It's an
incredible sight.

The group stares happily at the show in the sky.  Steve takes
Dylan by the hand.

STEVE
Didn't I promise you fireworks?

Everyone stares in wonder at the beautiful lights.
