A new flood is foretold and nothing can be done to prevent it; in three days, the waters will wipe out the world. The Dalai Lama appears on television and pleads with everybody to become a Buddhist; that way, at least they will have another life. The Pope goes on television with a similar message, asking everyone to accept Jesus so that they will find salvation in heaven. The Chief Rabbi of Israel takes a slightly different approach: "We have three days to learn to live under water."
