Eli5: What would happen if I pour water out of a bottle in a falling Elevator?

Question

What would happen? Would the water hit the roof of the elevator since the elevator is falling rapidly?

I thought about it when I put Eye Drops in an elevator.

Nah, it hit the floor. The elevator would need to be in free fall (or close to) for it to hit the roof.

You’re just not moving fast enough.
