They couldn't keep Death out, but while she was in she had to act like a lady.

About This Quote

The line from the movie “The Fifth Element” that was used as a skit just before the cast of the movie got their hands on the Holy Grail. In the movie, the cast of heroes is trying to get a hold of the Holy Grail. When they find it, they have one minute to do whatever they want with it before Death arrives and claims them. As this holy relic passes from hand to hand, each of the characters is given a chance to make their mark on the world.

The last person to hold onto it for at least one minute is granted immortality. Everyone else has to die.
