Ark II (TV Series)

The Drought (1976)

Terry Lester: Jonah

Quotes 

• Jonah : Ark II Log, Entry 76. This is the 42nd day of the drought, and still no sign of rain. Our present heading is in toward Grids 7 and 14 where the time capsule was supposedly buried. If the capsule does contain a cloud seeder, as recorded, there may be a chance that we can bring an end to this disastrous weather.

• Fagon : [to Jonah, who is blocking passage of the hijacked ARK]  Get out of the way, Captain.

  Jonah : Forget it, Fagon.

  Fagon : You best reconsider, Captain, seeing as how your precious crew is being held prisoner back there.

  Jonah : And you and your Flies are making a run for it?

  Fagon : No, I alone. Those scurrilous scalawags were foolish enough to go back and attempt to rescue.

  Jonah : Doesn't that bother you, Fagon?

  Fagon : Why should it? I have the ARK, I have the capsule, I have it all.

  Jonah : And no friends to share it with.

  Fagon : I don't need friends.

  Jonah : I don't believe that, Fagon. I have a feeling you're a lot more human than you pretend to be. And I don't think you can run out on all of us.

  Fagon : I can, and I will.

• Jonah : Ark II Log, Entry 77. We left Fagon and the Flies in Area 42, Sector 9. He taught us something. You can have everything in the world, but without anyone to share it with, you have nothing.

  Adam : Amen!

• Jonah : I'm sorry we had to destroy your belief in the rain god.

  Witch Doctor : You destroyed only our fears. From now on, we will save water and use it in the dry season. Then, we will irrigate our lands.
