The Fifth Element (Le Cinquième Élément)

Boy: Ha! Ha!

Come, come!

Please! Please! Please!

Aziz. Aziz.

Aziz, light!

Aziz, light.

We start again.

"When the three planets are in eclipse, the black hole, like a door, is opened.

Evil comes...

Spreading terror and chaos."

See the snake, Billy? The ultimate evil.

- Make sure you get the snake. - Yes, I've got your snakes.

I got all the snakes.

So when is this snake act supposed to occur?

Huh? Well, if this is the five...

And this is the one...

Every 5000 years.

So I've got some time, then.

Ah, you bring them water.

Good boy. I will take it to them.

Go with god. Be safe from evil.

Pacoli: You see here these different peoples, or symbols of people...

Gathering together the four elements of life: Water, fire, earth, air...

Around a fifth one.

A fifth...

Element.

Forgive me, lord.

They already know too much.

Ah, father.

- Yes, how are you today? - Well, Billy. You have some glasses?

- Of course. - Father, I'm so glad to see you.

It's the most extraordinary thing.

I mean, look, it's the greatest find in history.

Yes. You must be parched.

Huh? Oh, yes, yes. I'm sorry.

I mean, it's like a battle plan.

Here, the good. Here, the evil.

And here, a weapon against evil.

I'm going to be famous.

Then... then let us... Let us toast to your fame.

Oh, yes. To fame.

Salute.

You can't drink a toast with water. Billy, in my sack, the grappa.

This I don't understand. But this...

This could be something...

Prehistoric.

Maybe. I don't know.

But wait.

Here. Here.

Boy: Look, look.

They're here.

Pacoli: This man...

This perfect being.

I know this is the key. I know it.

This divine light they talk about.

What is divine light?

Aziz, light!

Much better. Thank you, Aziz.

My lord.

Father, this is the most unbelievable thing I have ever seen.

Don't you think...?

Are you German?

Lord, I know he was about to discover everything.

But there is no worry. I was there in time.

Mondoshawan: Priest, you and those before you...

Have served us well.

But war is coming.

Stones not safe on earth anymore.

Is really amazing.

The fifth element.

Take the stones.

My lord...

If you take the weapon, we will be defenseless when evil returns.

In 300 years, when evil returns...

So shall we.

Oh, professor.

Professor.

Don't move!

I have a gun! Priest: Billy.

Please, understand. They are our friends.

Fflends?

Father, they've killed the professor! They're monsters!

I'll explain everything. Billy.

- You're with them? - Billy, look at me.

Look at me. I am your friend.

- No, father. - Billy, look at me!

Please, put the gun down.

Billy, no!

Hurry! The wall is closing!

Mondoshawan: Here is your mission now:

Pass your knowledge to the next priest as it was passed on to you.

I will do as you command, but, please, hurry, you still have time.

Mondoshawan: Time not important.

Only life important.

I will fulfill my mission!

You can count on me!

I will pass the knowledge until your return!

Man 1: Deploy inter-ship stabilizers.

Man 2: Power capacitors, check. Man 3: Base modulation nominal.

- Anything yet? - No, sir.

- Not even a temperature? - The thermo-analyzers have jammed.

One of them shows a million degrees, the others minus 5000.

Let's see it.

It's taking shape.

Send out a probe.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen, the president of the federated territories.

On air with general staedert in 30 seconds.

Oh, I saved this seat for you, father.

- President on the line, sir. - We're in position, Mr. President.

I have to address the supreme council in 10 minutes. Just the facts, general.

There are no results from the chemical and molecular analysis as yet.

All the calibers are overshot.

We 're initiating a thermonucleatic imaging.

So, what you're saying is, you don't know what this is.

Not yet, sir. All we know is, it just keeps getting bigger.

Recommendation?

My philosophy, Mr. President, is shoot first and ask questions later.

I don't like uninvited guests.

- All right, then, staedert... - Cornelius: Mr. President?

Yes?

Computer: Priest vito Cornelius, expert of astrophenomenon.

I have a different theory to offer you, sir.

You have 20 seconds.

Imagine for a moment that this...

Thing is not anything that can be identified...

Because it prefers not to be.

Wherever there is life, it brings death...

- Because it is evil. Absolute evil. - One more reason to shoot first.

Evil begets evil, Mr. President.

Shooting will only make it stronger.

Probe will obtain its objective in five seconds.

Growth rate is at 27 percent.

Your theory is interesting, but we don't have time to go into that now.

Time is of no importance, Mr. President. Only life is important.

You're right. That's exactly what we're gonna do.

We're gonna protect the life of some 200 billion of my fellow citizens.

General, you may fire when ready.

Up-front loading of a 120-zr missile. Marker lights on the objective.

Its structure has just solidified on the surface.

I think it's anticipating the attack. Anticipation denotes intelligence.

The most terrible intelligence imaginable, Mr. President.

The ship is in combat formation. Missiles are loaded, Mr. President.

Staedert. Staedert: Yes, sir.

- I have a doubt. - I don't, Mr. President.

What happened? Staedert, can you hear me?

Staedert? What happened, staedert?

- Did you destroy it? - I'm about to, sir.

The planet has increased in diameter by 200 percent.

It's moving towards the ship.

What...? What do we have that's bigger than 240?

Nothing, sir.

Staedert, do you hear me? Get out of there.

I don't want an incident. Do you hear me, staedert?

Get out of there. Can you hear me, staedert?

Do you understand? Listen.

This is the president. That's an order.

Do you understand me? Do you hear me?

Get out of there! Answer me!

Computer: Four a day.

I'm trying.

Computer: To quit is my goal.

Hey, hey, hey!

I'm up.

All right, I'm up.

Yeah. Yeah. Yes?

Man: Hey, dog brain, finger here.

- Hi, sweetie. - I love you too, major...

But you haven't called me that since basic training.

- I was talking to the cat. - Oh, yeah, I forgot...

You still prefer your cat to the real thing.

Korben: At least the cat comes back.

You still pining for that two-timing slut? There are a million women out there.

I don't want a million women. I just want one.

The perfect one.

- It don't exist, major. - Yeah, I know. Ugh.

- What? - Just found a picture of you.

- Oh, how do ilook? - Like shit.

Must be an old picture.

Listen, you gotta bring me your hack for a six-month overhaul.

- Negative. - Asap.

I don't need one.

Hey, you forgetting who sat next to you for 1000 missions? I know how you drive.

Finger, I drive a cab now, not a space fighter.

Okay, so tell me. How many points you got left on your license?

Major, how many points?

- At least 50. - Heh-heh.

Know what? You gotta learn how to lie better.

See you tonight.

Female voice: Welcome to paradise.

Man: Welcome to fhloston paradise.

It's Ruby rhod, your main man, and I will tell you live at 5...

The name of the winner of the super-green gemini croquette contest!

The winner will go with me for two days to fhloston paradise.

So tune in to radio cosmos.

Don't watch it all day, sweetie. It'll rot your brain.

For a perfect world.

- Give me the cash. - Been here long?

Yeah, long enough. Come on, give me the cash.

Is that a z-140? Alleviated titanium.

- Neurocharged assault model. - Yeah. Yeah.
