SIDE 1

JAPHETH

Shem! If you lay a hand on her, I'll kill you.

HAM

Did you know about this?

JAPHETH

I mean it.

APHRA

He did!

AYSHA

He knew!

NOAH

Japheth, is this true?

SHEM

What does it matter? Get her off the ark.

(SHEM moves to YONAH and grabs her.)

JAPHETH

I warned you.

(JAPHETH runs towards SHEM, but before he can get anywhere near him, NOAH steps into his path, the staff of Adam in his hand.)

NOAH

Japheth!

JAPHETH

Get out of my way, old man.

NOAH

Never!

APHRA

What is it?

AYSHA

A snake!

SHEM

Stand back, everyone. I'll get an axe.

(A HEDGEHOG appears at the other side of the stage.)

HAM

Wait, Shem! Look!

SHEM

What?

APHRA

It's a hedgehog!

AYSHA

Hello, little hedgehog!

MAMA

I haven't seen one of those for...

AYSHA

Another snake!

APHRA

Where?

AYSHA

Right there!

HAM

Another hedgehog, Papa!

MAMA

Look!

( THE RETURN OF THE ANIMALS begins.)

NOAH

It's happening. It's actually happening! Snakes... hedgehogs...
