TEXT: DOCTOR WHO AND THE SILURIANS BY: MALCOLM HULKE 5:15pm - 5:40pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1. INT. QUINN'S COTTAGE. NIGHT (The DOCTOR waves his hand directly in front of QUINN's eyes. There is no reaction. The DOCTOR leans over QUINN's chest to listen for a pulse which evidently is not there. QUINN is clearly dead. The DOCTOR closes QUINN's sightless eyes, and discovers his hand is clutching something. He gently prises the small metallic device from his hand, and holds it up for inspection. He triggers the device, and to his little surprise it begins emitting the descending three note call to attention. (In the next room, the Silurian hears the signal and instinctively flexes his three-clawed hand. After a moment the DOCTOR notices something moving in his peripheral vision, and spins around to see the reptilian biped slowly marching into the living room towards him. The DOCTOR is quite taken aback and stares in surprise at the Silurian's headcrest, and the prominent three eyes...) DOCTOR: Hello! Are you a Silurian? (The DOCTOR offers the Silurian a friendly hand shake, confronting him with an immediate problem of whether to engage in this custom with either of his claws.) DOCTOR: Look. Do you understand me? (The Silurian nods in assent.) DOCTOR: Well what do your people want? How can we help you. How many are there of you? Tell us what we can do! (The Silurian hears the sound of a car passing by, and immediately suspicious, thrusts the DOCTOR aside, escape at the fore of his mind. The Silurian flees the cottage with a smashing of timber and glass and the DOCTOR is forced to shout after him:) DOCTOR: No wait! Wait! Wait! Unless you Silurians tell us what you want, the humans will destroy you! [SCENE_BREAK] 2. INT. RESEARCH CENTRE, S
