CUT TO:

MAXINE
                    Stay in him forever?

MAXINE
                            (moved)
                    That was incredible. You're brilliant!

CUT TO:

We see a photo of another infant, this one with a ribbon in
        her hair.

                                 LESTER ON FILM
                    Welcome, my fellow Malkovichians.
                    As you may already know, today a
                    baby was born into this sad world.

CUT TO:

                                 LESTER
                    You know I think it pays to leave
                    juice-making to the trained
                    professionals. You look terrible,
                    my dear.

CUT TO:

Malkovich begins undressing, and does a lewd bump and grind
        while looking mortified. Maxine giggles. Malkovich (Craig)
        laughs wildly.

Malkovich tenses up, then shakes his head in an awkward,
        puppet-like manner. When Malkovich speaks, it seems to be
        against him will.

                                 MALKOVICH
                    Come on in.

CUT TO:

LOTTE
                    Maxine! Listen:  It hasn't been me
                    in John the last three times. Craig's
                    had me locked up in the apartment. He
                    made me call you at gunpoint. It's
                    been him! Oh, God, it's been him!

LOTTE
                    Oh, Elijah, you are magnificent!

DISSOLVE TO:

CHIMP ONE (DUBBED VOICE)
                    Son, untie your mother and me!
                    Quickly! Before the great bald
                    chimp-men return.

SAFARI MAN
                    Well, there monkeys ain't going
                    nowhere. Let's get us a couple a
                    brews 'fore the boss comes back…

DISSOLVE TO:

Craig exits. Lotte fiddles with the ropes on her hands
        Elijah, slumped in the corner of the cage, blankly
        watches her moving hands. Suddenly his eyes narrow.
        Something is going on in his brain. We move slowly into
        his eyes.
