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

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!

Wait, Shem! Look!

It's a hedgehog!

Hello, little hedgehog!

Right there!
