Methuselah
- Noah: You know why I've come?
- Methuselah: Yes. Before he walked on, my father Enoch told me that one day, if man continued his ways, The Creator would annihilate this world.
- Noah: So what I saw is true? All life blotted out because what man has done? Can it not be averted?
- Methuselah: Noah, you must trust that He speaks in a way that you can understand. So you tell me. Can this destruction be averted?
- Noah: No.
- Methuselah: Oh.
- Noah: He sent me here. Why send me if there's nothing I can do to stop it?
- Methuselah: Well, perhaps He simply sends you here to share a cup of tea with an old man.
- Young Shem: I am Shem.
- Noah: My oldest.
- Methuselah: Come closer. Let me see you. You're a lucky boy. I think you must have your mother's looks, not your father's.
