& — What do you want?
Noah: Justice.
& Naameh: Rest. Perhaps He will finally make things right...
& Methuselah: Did He not send you here to drink a cup of tea with an old man? The medicine always tastes bad...
& Noah: Fire consumes all. Water cleanses. It separates the foul from the pure. The wicked from the innocent. And that which sinks from that which rises. He destroys all, but only to start again.
Methuselah: You sure?
Noah: Yes. The storm cannot be stopped. But it can be survived.
& Noah: A great flood is coming. The waters of the heavens will meet the waters of the earth. We build a vessel to survive the storm. We build an ark.
& Ham: Father? All the birds are two. You have Mother, Shem has Ila. But what of me? What of Japheth? Who is there for us?
Noah: Did you see how He made the forest to give us wood for the ark? How He sent the birds? So, hasn’t He sent everything we need?
& Ila: What do you think it’ll be like?
Noah: I’ve imagined it. Seeing that much death... I’m not sure there are words.
Ila: The end of everything.
Noah: The beginning. The beginning of everything.
& Noah: The wickedness is not just in them. It’s in all of us. I saw it.
Naameh: No! Noah... There’s goodness in us. Look at our boys. Shem’s loyalty. Japheth’s kindness. Ham’s integrity. Hmm? Good men. They’d be good fathers.
Noah: Shem is blinded by desire. Ham is covetous. And Japheth lives only to please. I am no better. And you?.. Is there anything you would not do, good or bad, for those three boys? We would both choose to kill in order to protect our children.
Naameh: Yes.
Noah: We’re no different. We were weak and we were selfish to think we could set ourselves apart. We will work, complete the task, and then we’ll die. The same as everyone else.
& Naameh: They are children! They are our children, Noah! Have you no mercy?
Noah: The time for mercy has passed. Now our punishment begins.
& Noah: You are angry. You judge me. Let me tell you a story... The first story my father told me, and the first story that I told each of you.
In the beginning, there was nothing. Nothing but the silence of an infinite darkness. But the breath of The Creator fluttered against the face of the void, whispering, “Let there be light.” And light was. And it was good. The first day. And then the formless light began to take on substance and shape. A second day. And our world was born. Our beautiful, fragile home. And a great, warming light nurtured its days. And a lesser light ruled the nights. And there was evening. And morning. Another day. And the waters of the world gathered together, and in their midst emerged dry land. Another day passed. And the ground put forth the growing things. A thick blanket of green stretching across all Creation. And the waters, too, teemed with life. Great creatures of the deep that are no more. Vast multitudes of fish, some of which may still swim beneath these seas. And soon the sky was streaming with birds. And there was evening. And there was morning. A fifth day. Now the whole world was full of living beings. Everything that creeps, everything that crawls, and every beast that walks upon the ground. And it was good. It was all good. There was light and air and water and soil, all clean and unspoiled. There were plants and fish and fowl and beast, each after their own kind. All part of the greater whole. All in their place. And all was in balance. It was paradise. A jewel in The Creator’s palm.
Then The Creator made Man. And by his side, Woman. Father and mother of us all. He gave them a choice. Follow the temptation of darkness or hold on to the blessing of light. But they ate from the forbidden fruit. Their innocence was extinguished. And so for the ten generations since Adam, sin has walked within us. Brother against brother. Nation against nation. Man against Creation. We murdered each other. We broke the world. We did this. Man did this. Everything that was beautiful, everything that was good, we shattered. Now, it begins again.
Air, water, earth, plant, fish, bird and beast. Paradise returns. But this time, this time there will be no men. If we were to enter the Garden again, it would only be to destroy it once more. No. The Creator has judged us. Mankind must end.
& Tubal-cain: When The Creator finished making the sky,the ground, the sea, and this beast, He wasn’t satisfied. He needed something greater. Something to take dominion over it and subdue it. Mmm. So He made us in His image. Us. This is your world, Ham. Seize it.
& Tubal-cain: A man isn’t ruled by the heavens. A man is ruled by his will. So I ask you, are you a man?.... Good. Because if you’re a man, you can kill.
& Shem: How could you? I thought you were good! I thought that’s why He chose you.
Noah: He chose me because He knew I would complete the task, nothing more, son.
& Tubal-cain: Now you are a man!
