Script of the scene in Independance day after the fight in the grand canyon.

1. EXT. TOP OF CANYON - CONTINUOUS
Rolling end over end, the Attacker is banged up BADLY as it
finally comes to a stop.
Not far away, Steve has a quick, hard, landing. Rolling over,
Steve quickly pops the buckles on the chute and frees himself.
He stands and looks around. Spotting the beat up and
incapacitated alien Attacker, Steve gets an angry resolved look.
He marches over to the fallen alien Attacker. He scans it quickly,
spots a type of door that has been knocked ajar.
With all his might, Steve YANKS the door OPEN.
AN ALIEN
For the first time we get a quick glance at these aliens, an odd
hybrid creature with fluctuating skeletal structure.
The reason we only get a quick glance is because the moment
it turns woozily towards us, Steve rears back and SLUGS HIM IN
THE FACE, knocking the alien totally unconscious.
His anger finally subsiding, exhaustion taking over, Steve
stands over the craft, slowly withdrawing the prized Victory
Dance cigar. He lights it and takes a long angry puff.
STEVE
Now that's a close encounter.
