TEXT: PLANET OF THE SPIDERS BY: ROBERT SLOMAN PART SIX 5:35pm - 6:00pm [SCENE_BREAK] 1: INT. LAMASERY. ABBOT'S ROOM (K'ANPO Rinponche, the abbot of the lamasery, sits in an armchair, his hands folded deep in mediation. His room is comfortably furnished in a mixture of styles - classical English furniture for the most part but with Tibetan hangings on the walls in the place of the usually expected paintings, country prints and their like. The abbot is an elderly man with a white beard. Like CHO-JE, he is dressed in brown and red Tibetan robes. He seems oblivious to the events taking place in the building around him.)

DOCTOR: Yes, yes, Sarah - all in good time. (TOMMY knocks on the door.) [SCENE_BREAK] 3: INT. LAMASERY. ABBOT'S ROOM (Inside, the abbot opens his eyes and gives an order in a voice that is as gentle as his face.) K'ANPO: Come in. (The three enter and the DOCTOR shuts the door behind them.) TOMMY: This is the Doctor, K'anpo. K'ANPO: I know. You are welcome. TOMMY: My friend, Sarah Jane Smith. K'ANPO: It is kind of you to come and visit an old man. (The DOCTOR steps forward, places his palms together and bows. He then speaks several words of Tibetan.) K'ANPO: You speak Tibetan? DOCTOR: A little, sir, yes. SARAH: (Smiling.) What did you just say? DOCTOR: I apologised to the Rinpoche for not bringing him a cotton scarf. K'
