(Dicken sneezes)"Sorry." He states.
The Doctor leans forward and studies the cards.
"That's me. It's good to have a hobby. So, what, my ganger did that, all on its own?" Buzzer questions.
"Who taught you to do this?" The doctor asks.
"Me granddad." Buzzer replies.
"Well, your ganger's granddad taught him to do it, too. You both have the same childhood memories, just as clear, just as real." The doctor tells buzzer
"No." Buzzer refuses.
(Buzzer knocks down the cards)
"They're scared, disorientated, struggling to come to terms with an entire life in their heads." The doctor announces.
MONASTERY, DINING HALL
The Doctor is at the microwave while the others are gathered around the table.
"We need to protect ourselves." Jimmy states.
(The Doctor puts a container of food into the microwave)
"Are you a violent man, Jimmy?" The doctor asks.
"No." Jimmy states.
"Then why would the other Jimmy be?" The doctor asks.
"Don't tell me you can eat at a time like this, Doctor." Miranda then announces.
"You told me that we were out cold for a few minutes, Miranda, when, in fact, it was an hour." The doctor states.
"Sorry, I just assumed —" miranda sighs.
"Well, it's not your fault. Like I said, they're disorientated. Bella, when you got to the alcoves, who was in harness?" The doctor asks.
The timer on the microwave goes off and the Doctor takes out the plate using a towel as he converses.
"Um, Jimmy and Dicken were helping Buzzer out. I think..." Bella replies.
"Jennifer?" The doctor questions.
"She was standing on her own when we got to her." Bella states.
The Doctor hands the plate to miranda and she holds it in her bare hand.
"It's hot." The doctor states.
Miranda hisses and drops the plate which shatters on the floor.
"Ah!" Miranda exclaims.
"The transmatter's still a little rubbery. The nerve endings are not quite fused properly." The doctor states.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Miranda hisses.
"It's okay." The doctor states.
"Why didn't I feel that?" Miranda asks.
"You will. You'll stabilize." The doctor states.
"No, stop it. You're playing stupid games. Stop it!" Miranda yells.
(She turns her back on the Doctor)
"You don't have to hide. Please, trust me. I'm the Doctor..." the doctor stammers.
Ganger Miranda turns on the Doctor with a hiss, her face in its half-formed state. Buzzer grabs a knife from the table and heads towards her. Jimmy holds him back.
"Where's the real Cleaves, you thing?! What have you done with her?!" Buzzer exclaims.
That's it, good. You remember. This is early flesh, the early stages of the technology. So much... to learn" the doctor stutters.
