The DOCTOR is too occupied to notice BEN and POLLY. The console column starts to rise and fall as the TARDIS dematerialises. BEN and POLLY look about them at the impossibly large room.)

DOCTOR: What are you both doing in here?! (BEN holds up the spare key the DOCTOR had dropped outside of the TARDIS.) POLLY: Ah... You dropped your key. (The DOCTOR grabs the key from BEN.) DOCTOR: How dare you follow me into the TARDIS! BEN: The what? DOCTOR: The TARDIS, sir! This is a vessel for travelling through time and space! Why did you follow me?! POLLY: I... I'm... I
