(Kate returns.)
CLARA: I think there's three of them now.
[Woods, 1562]
KATE [OC]: There's a precedent for that.
BENTHAM: What is that?
WARRIOR: Oh, the pointing again. They're screwdrivers! What are you going to do, assemble a cabinet at them?
BENTHAM: That thing, what witchcraft is it?
DOCTOR: Ah, yes. Now that you mention it, that is witchcraft. Yes, yes, yes. Witchy witchcraft. Hello? Hello in there. Excuse me. Hello!
[Under Gallery]
DOCTOR [OC]: Am I talking to the wicked witch of the well?
KATE: He means you.
Isabella : Why am I the witch?
DOCTOR [OC]: Isabella?
Isabella : Hello?
[Woods, 1562 / Under Gallery]
DOCTOR: Isabella , hi, hello. Hello. Would you mind telling these prattling mortals to get themselves begone?
Isabella : What he said.
DOCTOR: Yes, tiny bit more colour.
Isabella : Right. Prattling mortals, off you pop, or I'll turn you all into frogs.
DOCTOR: Ooo, frogs. Nice. You heard her.
Isabella : Doctor, what's going on?
[Woods, 1562]
DOCTOR: It's a timey-wimey thing.
WARRIOR: Timey what? Timey-wimey?
DOCTOR 10: I've no idea where he picks that stuff up.
(Enter an Elizabeth. The soldiers fall to their knee.)
SOLDIERS: The Queen. The Queen.
ELIZABETH: You don't seem to be kneeling. How tremendously brave of you.
DOCTOR 10: Which one are you? What happened to the other one?
ELIZABETH: Indisposed. Long live the Queen.
SOLDIERS: Long live the Queen.
ELIZABETH: Arrest these men. Take them to the Tower.
DOCTOR 10: That is not the Queen of England, that's an alien duplicate.
DOCTOR: And you can take it from him, cos he's really checked.
DOCTOR 10: Oh, shut up.
DOCTOR: Venom sacs in the tongue.
DOCTOR 10: Seriously, stop it.
DOCTOR: No, hang on. The Tower.
[Under Gallery]
DOCTOR [OC]: Did you say the Tower? Ah, yes, brilliant. Love the Tower.
[Woods, 1562]
DOCTOR: Breakfast at eight, please. Will there be Wi-Fi?
WARRIOR: Are you capable of speaking without flapping your hands about?
DOCTOR: Yes. No. I demand to be incarcerated in the Tower immediately with my co-conspirators Sandshoes and Granddad.
WARRIOR: Granddad?
DOCTOR 10: They're not sandshoes.
WARRIOR: Yes, they are.
ELIZABETH: Silence. The Tower is not to be taken lightly.
[Under Gallery]
ELIZABETH [OC]: Very few emerge again.
KATE: Dear God, that man's clever. Come on.
CLARA: Where are we going?
KATE: My office, otherwise known as the Tower of London.
[Tower dungeons]
WARDER: Come on, you lot, get in there.
WARRIOR: Ow.
(The warder leaves, shutting the door behind him. The Doctor finds a piece of metal bar and starts scratching on a stone pillar.)
DOCTOR: Three of us in one cell? That's going to cause some nasty anomalies if we don't get out soon.
DOCTOR 10: What are you doing?
DOCTOR: Getting us out.
(The Warrior is using his sonic screwdriver on the wooden door.)
DOCTOR 10: The sonic won't work on that, it's too primitive.
DOCTOR: Shall we ask for a better quality of door so we can escape?
DOCTOR 10: Okay, so the Queen of England is now a Zygon. But never mind that. Why are we all together? Why are we all here? Well, me and Chinny, we were surprised, but you came looking for us. You knew it was going to happen. Who told you?
(Moment Rose is holding a finger to her lips.)
DOCTOR: Oi, Chinny?
DOCTOR 10: Yeah, you do have a chin.

(The stone dust is being analysed.)
OSGOOD: Marble, granite. A lot of different stone, but none of it from the fabric of the building. It's like somebody smashed up a lot of old statues. Are there any missing?
MCGILLOP: Don't think so. Why would anyone do that, anyway? I mean, I know we're meant to keep an open mind, but are we supposed to believe in creatures that can hide in oil paintings and have some sort of a grudge against statues? You all right?
(Osgood uses her inhaler.)
OSGOOD: We have to go, right now, this minute.
MCGILLOP: What's wrong?
OSGOOD: The things from the paintings. I know why they smashed the statues.
MCGILLOP: Why?
OSGOOD: Because they needed somewhere to hide.
(The nearby statues raise their dust sheets. Zygons! They attack McGillop first, and Osgood runs.)
