Za and Mother in “An Unearthly Child”

My father made fire.

They killed him for it. It is better that we live as we have always done.

He showed me how to sharpen the stones and trap the bear and the tiger. He should have shown me this, too.

So that everyone would bow to you as they did to him?

Tell me what my father did to make fire.

I never saw him make it. That is all I know.

Out of my sight, old woman. You should have died with him.

Za will never make fire.

Put on more of the dead fire. (Hur adds ash, and Za rubs the bone between his hands again.)
