Year One Page #4

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?

any of you guys. I never did.

Unless anyone changes their mind.

Does anyone wanna come?

- We're good.

- Fine. Good. Bye-bye.

Don't... Nobody panic.

No! That's... That's...

Oh, it's not my house.

I see you.

Go away, Marlak.

- Really, animal noises?

- Badger.

This is just insulting.

It's time I killed you.

Fine. But then, tell me this:

Who's that behind you?

You think I'm gonna turn around?

I'm gonna gut you like a pig.

Nice whack on the head.

You should try hitting Eema that hard.

We can discuss that later.

We should run away.

Yes, yes, of course.

So you decided to come after all.

Was it the speech?

- It was the fire. I lost everything.

- Yeah.

I wish we didn't have to leave.

Probably never gonna see

Eema again.

That's not true. We'll go back.

Those hunters are idiots.

They're gonna forget the whole thing

in an hour.

Will you get real, man?

There's no going back, okay?

There's nothing to go back to.

It's just ashes.

Like it's hard to build

one of those huts.

It's just a pile of sticks and dung.

Well, you're a pile of sticks

and dung.

Well, you're a pile of sticks

and dung.

- I'm sorry, l...

- It's okay.

- I don't mean that, obviously.

- I know you're mad...

...but this is a great

opportunity for us.

They didn't appreciate you

back there.

You're the genius who thought up

drinking water from a gourd.

They were all drinking from their

hands.

Well, it just seems practical.

I mean, I don't know.

We have an incredible destiny.

You don't even know where we are.

We're lost.

Of course I know where we are.

It's a cougar.

Don't move a muscle.

- What do we do?

- Don't move your lips.

Rule number one:
Show no fear.

You're showing fear.

Much better. Very good.

- Now what?

- There's two opinions on this one.

Some say run,

others say stay perfectly still.

- Which one are you gonna do?

- I'm going to run!

You should put some maggots

on those scratches.

They look pretty deep.

They are very deep.

That's why they appear that way.

- You're still mad at me, aren't you?

- I wish I hadn't come.

Maybe you shouldn't have come...

...if you're gonna keep whining

about every little cougar...

...that attacks you.

Oh, what does this look like?

You making your own fire?

No, I'm making arrows.

We're gonna need them.

- You still coming?

- Yeah.

Yeah!

Yeah. You're my buddy. Yeah.

You're saying we're gonna walk...

...and eventually we're gonna get

to a spot where the world ends...

...and it's like... What is it?

What are we looking at?

First of all, why are you talking to me

in that tone like I'm an idiot?

This is general knowledge.

- I knew it!

- This is incredible.
