Closed to Liz Parker

The pronouncement comes in a flurry of words that leave his mouth so fast and wild that even Peter can't really remember what he said. There's only a few phrases he can remember with utter certainty: "Portal open", "space station", "you have to come and see this", but not much else.

And minutes later, they're standing in front of a screen playing a welcome video; it's clear that the neatly-dressed and pallid-skinned woman is reading off a teleprompter. Her voice is calm and soothing, and Peter himself is a little weirded out that he can understand it at all. Had someone slipped a babel fish into his ear overnight?

"I kinda wish that Ruby Rhod was in charge of announcements," he says, turning to Liz. He realizes a half-second later that he's not sure if The Fifth Element was out before or after 2001, or if Liz had even seen it. "Have you seen The Fifth Element?" he asks. "Mondoshawans, Leeloo, that really cool alien opera singer?"
