The scene starts with Claudius talking to some of his attendants about how Hamlet is a danger to everyone and his plans to send him to England. He tells Rosencrantz and Guildenstern that they must go and get Hamlet to bring him before Claudius. Claudius asks Hamlet where Polonius is and he answers jovially by saying that Polonius is at supper “but where ‘a is eaten”. When asked where Polonius is he answers “In heaven”. Claudius tells Hamlet that he is being sent to England and being sent with note.
