Blind Obedience/Return of the Animals
JAPHETH
Yonah’s been with us all our lives. You love her, too.
NOAH
We have no choice.
JAPHETH
There’s always a choice.
NOAH
We must do as Father commands.
Japheth!
Shem. Ham. Go after him. Don’t let him get too far.
MAMA
Papa, maybe if you asked God…
NOAH
His will is clear. I don’t want to discuss it anymore.
SHEM
He’s still here, Papa.
HAM
He’s just up on the boat.
NOAH
Good. I didn’t think he was that crazy…
APHRA
What is it?
AYSHA
A snake!
SHEM
It’s a rattlesnake. Stand back, everyone. I’ll get an ax.
HAM
Look out, Shem!
SHEM
What?
HAM
Stay still!
APHRA
It’s a turtle!
HAM
Hello, little turtle.
MAMA
I haven’t seen one of those for…
SHEM
Stay clear, all of you.
NOAH
Shem, don’t! Put down the ax.
SHEM
But, Papa…
NOAH
Do as I say.
Ham, see if you can find another turtle over there.
HAM
Yes, Papa.
NOAH
Everyone!
AYSHA
Another rattlesnake!
APHRA
Where?
AYSHA
Right here!
HAM
Another turtle, Papa!
MAMA
Look!
NOAH
It’s happening. Praise God, it’s happening.
MAMA
Aphra, hand me the leftover salad.
NOAH
Where’s my list? Where’s my list?
Turtles… rattlesnakes… rabbits…
MAMA
Hares.
NOAH
Hares, rabbits…
HAM
Anteaters! Mama, your favorite!
SHEM
Anyone sees any ants, save a pair for the ark!
