The Last Flight of Noah's Ark Page #6

Synopsis: When Noah Dugan agrees to fly missionary Bernadette Lafleur and her cargo of animals to a remote island, its only because he is on the run from a couple of bookies. What neither of them know is that two of Miss Lafleur's young students have stowed away with the animals & Miss Lafleur's transistor radio has interfered with the plane's instruments and they're all now miles off course. After a forced landing on a remote island, Dugan, Bernadette, Bobby and Julie discover that they are not alone. Together with two Japanese soldiers who have been stranded on the island since WWII, they must turn the plane into a seaworthy boat if they are ever to make it home. When Bobby and Julie insist that they cannot leave the animals behind, the converted plane truly becomes a second Noah's Ark

knew how to catch fish.

The Japanese invented fishing, kid.

lf they can't catch them, nobody can.

- l bet l can.

- Sure...

Sure. What are you gonna do,

talk them into taking the bait?

Now, you look. Me and Frankie used to

catch a lot of fish back at the orphanage.

l'm not in the mood

for a kid story right now.

l may be a kid

but that doesn't mean l'm stupid.

Bobby, that's enough.

Captain Dugan just can't...

Bernie, he's right.

Let's hear him out.

Well, you see, there was a stream

where we used to catch catfish.

You see, what we'd do is hang a lantern

over the side of our rowboat at night.

And then, you see, the fish would swim up

to the lantern to see what it was.

So, why couldn't we

fix up some kind of light here?

Bobby, you're a genius.

We've got the biggest lanterns you could

want. Come on, kid, let's go fishing.

(motor)

OK!

- OK!

- OK!

- OK.

- Right.

Not bad, eh?

Very nice, nice.

- Look, Miss Lafleur.

- l know. lt's like our private aquarium.

Come. Let's tell the others to start fishing.

There's a lot.

- Can't l stay and watch?

- You can watch later. Come on.

- The more lines out, the better.

- All right.

(she hums Frre Jacques)

(stops humming)

(she screams)

Julie?

Julie?

Julie!

Take it easy, Julie. What's the matter?

Out there. l saw a shark.

- Why, Julie, it's all right.

- He came at me.

Yes, yes, but it's all right now. OK, OK.

Commander say, shark reason no fish.

Then we gotta get rid of the shark.

- Ah, dangerous at night.

- Well, it's now or no more fish.

- Are you with me?

- l'm with you.

(speaks Japanese)

OK.

OK, we catch.

(speaks Japanese)

That's all we have left.

Well, we can't help it, Bernie.

We gotta use it.

Cast thy bread upon the waters

for thou shalt find it after many days.

- Dugan.

- Ecclesiastes.

Stick around, Bernadette,

l'm full of surprises.

Tell the kids to stay below,

it could get rough.

- All right.

- (speaks Japanese)

- Put it in.

- (speaks Japanese)

Shark! Shark!

Come on! Come on! Get the rope!

(they speak Japanese)

(Dugan) Hold on. Tie it down.

Hold on. Hold on.

Be careful. Just hold on. Keep holding.

(Dugan) Hold on.

Just keep holding on with all your might.

Keep pulling on it. Pull!

- What happened? l thought you had him.

- Hey, you, get off of there, just get off!

Bobby!

- Mr. Dugan!

- No, Dugan! No, no! No, Dugan!

- (Cleveland) No, don't jump.

- (Bobby) Mr. Dugan!

(Cleveland) Come back, Dugan!

- (splutters)

- Don't worry. Come on. Let's get out.

Please, God, help him.

The shark! The shark, Dugan!

Dugan, come back! Hurry! Hurry!

Come on, Dugan! Hurry! Hurry!

Hurry! Come on, come on, Dugan! Hurry!

(Julie) Bobby! Bobby!

You OK?

l... l was wrong about you, Mr. Dugan.

- l'm sorry.

- You're sorry, huh?

When the hell are you gonna get it through

that skull of yours to do what you're told?

You nearly got yourself killed.

You nearly got me killed.

Cleveland, take him downstairs

and get him changed.

Right, OK. Here we go.

That was a very good shot.

Drink, drink.

ls hot.

ls good for you.

Julie. Cleveland.

Could you leave us alone

just for a minute, please?

(speaks Japanese)

Well, how are you feeling?

l'm OK.

l'm sorry

l had to come down on you so hard.

But you were right.

lt was a dumb thing to do.

l won't ever do anything like it again.

Well, everybody does a dumb thing

every once in a while.

Friends?

Friends.

Well, we're on our way again.

What's the matter?

Come on, what's up?

lt's funny. We're floating around

in the middle of nowhere

and this morning it hit me, it's all my faul

- Oh, Bernie!

- lt's my fault.

l dream up this idea

of making farmers out of Makuaranas.

l bet they're quite happy as they are.

l force my society into letting me go.

l convince you and Stoney

to fly me in a plane

that no sensible person should get into.

l put a spell on the compass. lf it weren't

for me, those children wouldn't be here.

What have l been doing?

Listen, Bernie, you kept those kids going

when they had no reason to.

You kept me going, too.

- Are we gonna make it?

- You bet we are.

Petey's out there right now, flying his little

heart out. lf he hasn't already reached land.

And l'm sure they sent word

when we didn't get to your island.

Planes are probably

looking for us right now.

And we're not far from shipping lanes.

A freighter could come.

l love you.

l love you too.

Big wind.

- We'd better take the sail in.

- Mm-hm.

(speaks Japanese)

Will it be a bad storm, Miss Lafleur?

l'm afraid it will be, Julie.

(speaks Japanese)

(speaks Japanese)

(clunking)

(Brutus snorts)

(speaks Japanese)

(crack)

Hurry up. Come on, Hiro.

Come on. Whoa.

lt's over!

We made it.

We made it.

For somebody past her prime, you are

just amazing, old lady, just amazing.

lt'd take more than a storm to sink you.

Dugan! Dugan!

Oh, you come quickly.

He fall down. Very bad.

l think he dying.

Easy, Brutus...

(Brutus groans)

He... He is gonna be OK.

lsn't he, Miss Lafleur?

Bobby, he isn't.

He is gonna be OK. You'll see.

Mr. Dugan?

He is gonna be OK. Please.

No!

lt has to be done, Bobby. You don't wanna

see Brutus go on suffering like this?

No, stay back. Stay away from him.

What would your dad want you to do now,

Bobby?

l never knew my dad. He left me at

the orphanage and then he went away.

They didn't care.

Well, that was then and this is now and

there are people here who do care, Bobby.

- Like who?

- All of us care. We care about Brutus too.

Stay back! Stay away from him!

No!

No!

(speaks Japanese)

(speaks Japanese)

Goodbye, Brutus.

(ship's horn)

Dugan...

- (cheering)

- Now hear this. Now hear this.

All hands fore and aft.

l don't believe it.

Believe, Dugan. Believe.

(man) Do you. Noah. take this woman

to be your lawfully wedded wife.

to have and to hold... ?

If I were a star

A tiny star

You'd be ma starlight

Half of me is me

The other half of me is you

If I were a bird

A tiny bird

You'd be my wings

For only half of me is me

The other half of me is you

Reaching out

And touching hands

Is way of sharing

Sharing

Having faith and caring

Will always see us through

If I were a tree

You'd be my roots

Oh. we'd grow together

Half of me is me

The other half is you
