It's Noah who stopped the rain from falling. And it's Noah who sent the animals!

Where's the rain?

Where is it?

It's not wet. It burns like fire.

It's burning me. ( cheering )

It's burning. Why me? It burns!

It's burning me. What's wrong with ya? ( laughing )

Lord. We're to take only Miriam, Ruth, and Esther. No one else. That sounds good.

( screaming )

Father!

( screaming continues )

Now. Get the girls. Hurry. Come on.

Save me! Oh, God! ( coughs )

Follow him.

I'm not going without my mother. I'd like to, but Father says

Damn your father and damn you. We're leaving now.

Take her, Ham. I'm not going.

Hurry. Hurry! What happened?

What happened to you? Shem! No!

Help me. ( groans ) Ruth. Ruth!

We destroy one species. What about the ones who live off them?

They're destroyed, too. And on and on. Everything has a purpose.

Whoa, uh. Sh-- ( groaning ) Shemi?

I wonder why God doesn't make another earth with people, if He doesn't like this one.

If we had fur like the animals, instead of skin, we wouldn't have to wear clothes.

Kill him. Kill him now!

Finish him off!

I'm always being cheated out of what's mine.

And this one I could win.

Attack. Attack.

Yes! Yes!

Yay!

What is it you want? Noah! It's Lot. Your old friend Lot!

He has gone to the dogs. Did Naamah say I've gone bad?

She's right. I've come a long way since Sodom. It's all been downhill and I've loved

Why? So when they ask me what I did in the Great flood, I can

Fire.

Fire!

Fire, brothers!

The army of the Lord is on our side! Lord? Lord?

Is there no one left but us, Lord? No one?

On your own. You'll just have to get through it somehow. Without Me.

Tell me you can see something in this fog. Can't we steer around it?

We could if we had any steering. But to have any steering, you need a rudder,

I hate the silence.

Over the last few weeks, I've had a terrible thought. I have hundreds.

I think maybe we're going around in circles.

Well, how could you know that? Everything looks the same. So, where are we?

What about these?

If we see them again, we'll know we're going around in circles.

Hey!

Look! See what you made me do? You could have fallen.

Look! There. There! Straight ahead!

Noah? Noah? Look, we've reached land.

It's so beautiful.

It's paradise.

That was a nasty trick, fooling us like that.

Perhaps it was some kind of joke.

Nobody laughed.

It was terrible today, thinking we'd reached land. Oh, my back. It's all this

The young ones took it badly. You should've cheered them up. Cheered them up? How?

There. There. There. What? What is it? Look, there.

Who threw my bottles overboard?

We did, Father. Weeks ago.

Thanks to your idiocy, we're going around in circles! In circles!

What're you doing?

What we should've done in the beginning! Making a rudder.

I'm gonna use the door and fix it to this pole. We'll help.

We're not going round in circles for the rest of our lives!

No rudder!

Hey, hey, hey! ( cheering )

They're so happy to see you up and well, my dear. Oh, I missed you all, too.

Lord has decided to spare us. He isn't going to destroy us after all.

Well, you seem to have taken it quite calmly. As if you expected it all along.

Not a thing.

But is there land? If there is, we'll find it.

You like me for something, then. You always sound so

What is that?

We must give Him thanks. Come. Ham.

Run. Run! Get back!

Get back! Get back! Go, go, go!

We've landed.

We've landed! We've landed!

Hello! ( voice echoing )

Hello!

The Lord says, "Go forth and multiply."

Ham, you have something to tell us?

They want to leave.

It's not that we don't love you. We do.

But it's time to fly the nest. It's only natural.

They're young. It's an adventure.

Noah?

I was just thinking of all that happened, Lord. Yes?

Some of it can be told in words. Others in silence only.

Perhaps I went too far.

I am one, eternal, perfect. But I can be wrong.

Don't ask Me to explain, Noah.

I saw humanity destroyed and I know that is not the way. I need man as much as man needs

So there has to be a covenant between us, one with another.

I will not raise My hand. Even if the earth is given over to the wicked?

I will keep silent. And not destroy. Thank you, Lord.

Mankind is more than capable of destroying itself, Noah. It doesn't need any help from Me.
