“Tooth and Claw”
In this episode: Tenth Doctor (3), Victoria (3), Rose Tyler (2)
We will take the house.
Would you like my wife while you're at it?
If you won't stand aside then we'll take it by force.
By what power? The hand of God?
No. The fist of man. [He whips the steward into submission with his cane. At the wave of his hand, his fellow monks take off their robes, and, demonstrating incredible martial skills, they make short work of the rest of the men.]
Since my husband's death, I find myself with more of a taste for supernatural fiction.
You must miss him.
Very much. Oh, completely. And that's the charm of a ghost story, isn't it? Not the scares and chills, that's just for children, but the hope of some contact with the great beyond. We all want some message from that place. It's the Creator's greatest mystery that we're allowed no such consolation. The dead stay silent, and we must wait.
[about the Koh-i-Noor] How much is that worth?
They say the wages of the entire planet for a whole week.
Good job my mum's not here, or she'd be fighting the wolf off with her bare hands for that thing.
She'd win.
[Rose and the Doctor kneel before Queen Victoria who is armed with a sword]
By the power invested in me by the Church and the state, I dub thee [taps the sword on the Doctor's shoulders] Sir Doctor of Tardis. By the power invested in me by the Church and the state, I dub thee [does the same for Rose] Dame Rose of the Powell Estate. You may stand.
[Rose and the Doctor stand up]
Many thanks, Ma'am.
They're never gonna believe this back home.
Your Majesty, you said last night about receiving no message from the Great Beyond. I think your husband cut that diamond to save your life. He's protecting you even now, Ma'am, from beyond the grave
[sternly] Indeed, then you may think on this, also; that I am not amused.
[jubilantly] Yes!
[The Doctor sighs at having lost his bet with Rose]
Not remotely amused. [The Doctor and Rose straighten their faces] And henceforth...I banish you.
I'm sorry?
I have rewarded you, Sir Doctor, and now you're exiled from this empire, never to return. [she steps towards Rose and the Doctor] I don’t know what you are, the two of you, or where you’re from, but I know that you consort with stars and magic, and think it fun. But your world is steeped in terror, and blasphemy, and death, and I will not allow it. You will leave these shores and you will reflect, I hope, on how you came to stray so far from all that is good, and how much longer you may survive this...terrible life. [she angrily steps away from them] Now leave my world, and never return!
What will you do? Will you stay here?
I don't think I could. I'd sell it, or I'd pull this place down.
[Queen Victoria looks back at the 'Torchwood House' sign]
Although we may not speak of these events in public, they will not be forgotten. I promise you that. Your husband's sacrifice, the ingenuity of his father; they will live on.
But how?
I saw, last night, that Great Britain has enemies beyond imagination, and we must defend our borders on all sides. I propose an Institute to investigate these strange happenings and to fight them. I would call it Torchwood; the Torchwood Institute. And if this Doctor should return, then he should beware, because Torchwood will be waiting.
