Year One Page #10

Synopsis: Zed, a prehistoric would-be hunter, eats from a tree of forbidden fruit and is banished from his tribe, accompanied by Oh, a shy gatherer. On their travels, they meet Cain and Abel on a fateful day, stop Abraham from killing Isaac, become slaves, and reach the city of Sodom where their tribe is now enslaved. Zed and Oh are determined to rescue the women they love, Maya and Eema. Standing in their way is Sodom's high priest and the omnipresent Cain. Zed tries to form an alliance with Princess Innana, which may backfire. Can an inept hunter and a smart but slender and diffident gatherer become heroes and make a difference?

Strangers shake hands.

Get that thing out of here.

- I'm gonna miss you, little guy.

- I'm gonna miss you more.

Just trying to sniff you.

I wanna remember your scent.

That's probably the urine in my hair.

I can't let them see me cry.

They respect me too much.

Me too. On three.

One, two, three, break.

Well, may the gods smile on you.

See you around.

Whatever. Later.

- Oh?

- What?

I want you to have babies

with my sister.

- Try and stop me.

- All right, man.

- Zed, may the gods smile on you.

- You said that.

- May they. Yeah.

- Thank you, though.

All right come on, folks. We're heading

out now because I say so, all right?

What's the deal? Come on, Lindsey.

Come on, everyone's looking.

Please. Go. Good.

To the north!

You know that that's west.

I was just checking to see

if you knew.

To the west!

I'm already glad you're here.

One, two, three, foreskin!

Invoke your blessing

and do your will.

What's the f***ing line? What is it?

It was a game.

It was a game of chance...

...and he hit his head

and he killed himself.

If anything, it was a suicide.

Okay.

I let one go.

In honor of the chosen one,

as my first official act as your queen...

...l'm going to go back

and say the line again.

- Let's go back. Do you wanna try it?

- Yeah.

You just want it all.

You want to taste it all

and know it all and feel it all.

And suck it all in and blow it all out

your backside, don't you?

Sorry.

It's like the Great Turtle coming out

of the sea, you know?

It's like with the earth on its back,

you understand?

I'm an oilman.

You're cursed, Zed, and if you don't

leave here we're all gonna be cursed.

And it drank up the ocean,

then pooped out the mountains...

...and the first man

fell from the stars.

This is... I don't... This doesn't make

a lot of sense, guys.

Can I talk to Harold?

Is that...?

What's that?

What's that?

A strange Gorgon from another time!

I weep for the suffering

of my people.

We're getting boned...

...by the planes, the trains,

and the what, huh?

Zed?

- Oh, that's great.

- Zed? It's constricting me.

Can I show you this new kiss

I been thinking about?

- Yeah.

- It's called a tongue kiss.

- It's strange. Yeah. Okay.

- Still perfecting it, yeah.

- It's fine.

- All right.

What?

And camera reloading!
