Paul: Stilgar, do we have wormsign?

Stilgar: Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.
Paul: We Fremen have a saying: "God created Arrakis to train the faithful." One cannot go against the word of God.
Paul: You have no need for your weapons with me, Gurney Halleck.
Gurney Halleck: Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work.
Paul: Is this what you seek?

Gurney Halleck: Good! Fast on defense, slow on attack. But, ah, look down.

[Gurney has penetrated Paul's shield as well]

Gurney Halleck: We'd have joined each other in death. You did seem, finally, to get in the mood.
Paul: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will let it pass over me and through me. And when it has passed I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where it has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Chani: Tell me of your homeworld, Usul.
Piter De Vries: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

[drink]

Piter De Vries: It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
Paul: ...My father sent you to test me, didn't he?

[He indicates Gurney's baliset]

Paul: Music, then?

Gurney Halleck: No music. I'm packing this for the crossing.

[He sets down the baliset]

Gurney Halleck: Shield practice.

Paul: Again? Gurney, we had practice all this morning. I'm not in the mood.

Gurney Halleck: Not in the mood? Mood's a thing for cattle and loveplay, not fighting!

Paul: I'm sorry, Gurney.

Gurney Halleck: Not sorry enough, not yet!

[He activates his shield and attacks Paul, who activates his own shield barely in time]

Paul: [to himself] What's wrong with Gurney? He's not faking this!

Gurney Halleck: Now, guard yourself for true!
Guild Navigator: We ourselves perceive a slight problem within House Atreides. Paul, Paul Atreides.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: You mean of course Duke Leto Atreides, his father?

Guild Navigator: I mean Paul Atreides. We want him killed. I did not say this. I am not here.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: I understand.
Piter De Vries: I knew Yueh's wife. I was the one who broke his Imperial conditioning. I've thought of many pleasures with you. It is perhaps better that you die in the innards of a worm.
Feyd-Rautha: Who is the little one, a pet perhaps? Will she deserve my special attentions?
Duke Leto Atreides: I'll miss the sea, but a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Baron Harkonnen: I will have Arrakis back for myself! He who controls the Spice controls the universe and what Piter did not tell you is we have control of someone who is very close, very close, to Duke Leto! This person, this traitor, will be worth more to us than ten legions of Sardaukar!

Feyd-Rautha: And who is this, traitor?

Baron Harkonnen: I won't tell you who the traitor is, or when we'll attack. However, the Duke will die before these eyes and he'll know, he'll know, that it is I, Baron Vladimir Harkonnen, who encompasses his doom!
Guildmaster: A Secret Report within the Guild. Four Planets have come to our attention regarding a plot which could jeopardise Spice Production: Planet Arrakis, Source of the Spice. Planet Caladan, home of House Atreides. Planet Geidi Prime, home of House Harkonnen. Planet Kaitain, Home of the Emperor of the Known Universe. Send a third-stage Guild Navigator to Kaitain to demand details from the Emperor. The Spice must flow.
Stilgar: You have strength. You shall be known as Usual - which is the strength of the base of the pillar. This is your secret name in our troop. But, you must choose the name of manhood, which we will call you openly.

Paul: What do you call the mouse shadow in the second moon?

Stilgar: We call that one Muad'Dib.

Paul: Could I be known as Paul Muad'Dib?

Stilgar: You are Paul Muad'Dib!
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Do you know of the Water of Life? The bile from the ill-borne worms of Arrakis?

Paul: I have heard of it.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: It's very dangerous. The Bene Gesserit sisterhood would use it to see - within. There is a place - terrifying to us. To women. It is said: a man will come, the Kwisatz Haderach. He will go where we can not. Many men have tried.

Paul: They tried and failed?

Reverend Mother Mohiam: They tried and died.
Paul: This is part of the weirding way that we will teach you. Some thoughts have a certain sound, that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs. We will kill until no Harkonnen breathes Arrakeen air.
Paul: Long live the fighters!
Paul: I'm dead to everyone unless I become what I may be.
Paul: We must totally destroy all spice production on Arrakis. The Guild and the entire Universe depends on spice. He who can destroy a thing, controls a thing.
Feyd-Rautha: Why are you going to prolong the inevitable? I will kill you!
[repeated line]

Feyd-Rautha: ...I WILL KILL YOU/HIM!
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Put your right hand in the box.

Paul: What's in the box?

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Pain.
[last lines]

Alia: And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach!
[first lines]

Princess Irulan: A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that it is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Padisha Emperor Shaddam IV, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the Universe is the spice melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over four-thousand years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the Universe without moving. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. The spice exists on only one planet in the entire Universe. A desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy, that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis. Also known as Dune.
The Baron's Doctor: [treating Baron Harkonnen] Put the pick in there, Pete, and turn it 'round real neat.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Bring in that floating fat man, the Baron!
Duke Leto Atreides: [responding to Thufir's resignation, after Paul narrowly cheats death via a "hunter-seeker," with which his chamber was boobytrapped] ... Enough of this, Thufir! *If* you made a mistake, it was in over-estimating the Harkonnens. Their simple minds came up with a simple trick! Moreover, Paul survived this largely because of your training; you didn't fail there.
Alia: I am a messenger from Muad'Dib. Poor Emperor. I'm afraid my brother won't be very pleased with you.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Silence!

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Kill this child. She's an abomination. Kill her!

Reverend Mother Mohiam: [groans then yells at Alia] Get out of my mind!

Alia: [using the voice] Not until you tell them both who I *really* am!

Reverend Mother Mohiam: [Weakly] Alia, daughter of Duke Leto the Just and the royal Lady Jessica. Sister... of Paul... Muad'Dib.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Paul's sister? Paul is Muad'Dib?
Paul: [sees Thufir] My God.

[inner voice]

Paul: They've taken your mind.

[out loud]

Paul: Gurney, I see Thufir Hawat among the captives. Let him stand free.

Feyd-Rautha: [turns towards Thufir] The antidote.

[he slips a knife inside Thufir's sleeve]

Gurney Halleck: Thufir, come.

Paul: In payment of the many years of service to my family, you may ask me of anything you wish. Do you need my life, old friend? It is yours.

[turns around]

Paul: I mean this Thufir, if you are to strike, do it now.

Thufir Hawat: [raises knife, to everyone's shock, but drops it and turns back to Feyd] Did you truly believe, even for a moment, that I would fail my Duke TWICE?

[He rips out his own heart plug, then collapses into Paul's arms]

Thufir Hawat: Three generations of... you...

[he dies]

Paul: Carry this noble Atreides warrior away. Do him all honor.
Paul: Is it true, that the sand can blow at seven hundred kilometers per hour?

Dr. Wellington Yueh: It can render flesh to dust in minutes. And these dry winds can generate tremendous static electricity in the atmosphere. Our body shields won't have enough power to operate in the open air on Arrakis.
Paul: Now remember, walk without rhythm, and we won't attract the worm.
The Baron's Doctor: You are SO beautiful, my Baron. Your skin, love to me. Your diseases lovingly cared for, for all eternity.
Piter De Vries: As you instructed me, I have enlightened your nephews concerning my plan...

Baron Harkonnen: *My* plan!

Piter De Vries: ...*the* plan... to crush the Atreides.
Dr. Kynes: [whispering] Bless the maker and his water, bless the coming and going of him, may his passing cleanse the world.

Duke Leto Atreides: What's that you're saying?

Dr. Kynes: Nothing.
Lady Jessica: [Stumbling around a corner, blood dripping from her nose] Alia...

Alia: [she falls into her mother's arms, also covered in blood] Mother, it's Paul. He has taken the Water of Life.

Lady Jessica: Paul's voice?

Alia: The Guild... they're fighting me in the mental vaults. They're behind everything. They fear the one who will come, who will know more, who will see more. The Guild is behind everything. It's not finished yet. I'm not formed.
Reverend Mother Ramallo: We are the secret of the universe. We are the secret. We know of CHOAM in the universe, Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles, controlled by the Emperor Shaddam IV and all the great housses of the Landsraad. We know of CHOAM, yet we are the secret. We know of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, their selective breeding plan for 90 generations to produce the Kwisatz Haderach, whom they will control. The one they call the witches, yet we are the secret. We know of the Guild and the navigators' power to fold space and their control over all interplanetary travel. We know they have the seeing eye, yet we are the secret. The Bakka shall weep no more for there is now at work a higher power.
Thufir Hawat: My lord?

Duke Leto Atreides: Thufir, haven't you heard from Duncan Idaho yet?

Thufir Hawat: No sire. I have, however, discovered what the city Freemen called out to Paul when we entered the city.

Duke Leto Atreides: Mahdi... And Lisan al Ghaeeb. Yes.

Thufir Hawat: It is a prophecy that a young leader will come to them with a Bene Gesserit mother. It follows the familiar messiah pattern.

Duke Leto Atreides: But Mahdi?

Thufir Hawat: Yes. It seems it is written that he will lead them to true freedom.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Jessica you were told to bear only daughters to the Atreides.

[Jessica ignores her, lost in thought]

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Jessica!

Lady Jessica: It meant so much to him.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: You thought only of a Duke's desire for a son? Desires don't come into this. An Atreides daughter could have been wed to a Harkonnen heir and sealed the breech. We may lose both bloodlines now.

Lady Jessica: I vowed never to regret my decision. I'll pay for all my own mistakes.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: And your son will pay with you.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: We'll salvage what we can. But I can tell you, dear God, for the father, nothing.

Lady Jessica: [inside her head] For the father, nothing?

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Did you really think that you could bear the Kwisatz Haderach? The universe's super being? How dare you. My greatest student, and my greatest disappointment.

[she notices Paul is not sleeping]

Reverend Mother Mohiam: He's awake. He's listening to us. Good. Ready yourself young Paul Atreides. I want to see you in your mother's chambers in one quarter of an hour.

Lady Jessica: Paul, this is very important.
Paul: Emperor Shaddam IV, there are Guild Heighliners above us containing many Great Houses of the Laandsraad. Send them back.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: How dare you speak to me in...

Guild Worker: Stop your speaking!

Paul: You have some idea of what I could do.

Paul: [the Reverend Mother Mohiam growls at him] Don't try your powers on me. Try looking into that place where you dare not look.You'll find me there, staring back at you.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: [DELETED LINE] Silence him, Jessica!

Lady Jessica: [DELETED LINE] Silence him yourself, if you can.

Paul: [DELETED LINE] For ninety generations you and your Bene Gesserit have labored in secret to produce a living, breathing super-weapon... one that would empower you to overthrow both the Guild and the Emperor. Indeed. This weapon, I am. And these goals, I have achieved. *But I will NEVER be YOURS to control.*

Reverend Mother Mohiam: [Using the Voice] *You mustn't speak... *

Paul: [Also using the Voice, which overpowers her] SILENCE!

[she is knocked backward against several Guild Workers]

Paul: I remember your gom jabbar, now you'll remember mine. I can kill with a word.
Paul: Irulan shall be my wife, opening the way for an Atreides to take the throne.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: I sit on the throne!

Paul: You will sit on the throne on Selusa Secundus, your prison planet. Either that, or you will die.

[he walks towards Chani]

Paul: The princess shall have no more of me than my name... no child of mine, nor touch, nor softness of glance, nor instant of desire.

[he tenderly strokes her cheek]

Paul: This is promise to you, my love.

Lady Jessica: Think on it, Chani. We who carry the name of concubine... history will call us wives.
Duke Leto Atreides: What have you discovered about the Fremen, Duncan? Tell me. Why haven't we heard from you?

Duncan Idaho: My lord, I suspect so much. I think they are the allies we seek. They are strong, fierce. They do not give their loyalty easily or quickly. As you know, the Imperium has never been able to take a census of the Fremen. Everyone thinks that there are but few, wandering here and there in the desert. My lord, I suspect an incredible secret has been kept on this planet: that the Fremen exist in vast numbers - vast. And it is they who control Arrakis.
Lady Jessica: [Jessica and Leto are lying in bed together the night before the family's journey to Arrakis] I once told you a daughter would be conceived at a time of parting.

Duke Leto Atreides: I remember. Conceived in love, at a time of parting. Arrakis is a hostile world.

Lady Jessica: I must be sure you want this. It has to be tonight, under these influences. I could hear you with the wind.

Duke Leto Atreides: And I whispered 'Yes'.

Lady Jessica: And I whispered 'I love you'.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: [after the ordeal of the box] Kul Wahad! No woman-child ever withstood that much!
Paul: Father! The sleeper has awakened!
Thufir Hawat: Now, remember, the first step in avoiding a *trap* - is knowing of its existence.

Paul: I know. But, if it is a trap, then why are we going?

Thufir Hawat: We have our new Army. Dr. Yueh, put the weirding module on him.

[Thufir holds Paul's shoulders admiringly, then playfully mimes stabbing him in the side of the neck]
Duncan Idaho: May the Hand of God be with you.

Paul: May the Hand of God be with us all, Duncan.
Paul: The Worm is the Spice! The Spice is the Worm!
Lady Jessica: Oh, I'll miss Caladan so much!
Paul: Don't you believe your own eyes?

Gurney Halleck: They said you were dead! They said...

Paul: [shows him the signet ring]

Gurney Halleck: [hugs him] You young puppy! You young puppy!

Paul: Gurney, man! Gurney, man!
Baron Harkonnen: The drug was timed. Dr. Yueh has been very useful to us.
Feyd-Rautha: All I see is an Atreides I want to kill.

Baron Harkonnen: Come, Feyd, Thufir's a Harkonnen now. Aren't you Thufir?

Thufir Hawat: [voice over] Oh, my Duke, how I've failed you.
Spice Worker: Sire, we can't leave all this Spice.

Duke Leto Atreides: Damn the Spice! Get out of there!
Dr. Kynes: [voice over] He cares more about his men than the Spice. I have to admit, against my better judgement, I like this Duke.
Dr. Kynes: [voice over] He shall know your ways as if born to them.
Lady Jessica: There's no need to fight over me.
Paul: My name has become a killing word.
Paul: I know, Thufir, I'm sitting with my back to the door. I heard you, Dr. Yueh and Gurney coming down the hall.

Thufir Hawat: Those sounds could be imitated!

Paul: [Looks around and sees he was right] I'd know the difference.

Thufir Hawat: [voice over] Yes, perhaps he would at that.
Princess Irulan: Father?

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Irulan, you must leave.
Paul: [voice over] From my dream, so beautiful.

Chani: I would not have allowed you to hurt my people.
Paul: Are you a Fremen?

Dr. Kynes: I've been here working in the service of the Emperor long enough for my eyes to change.
Dr. Wellington Yueh: [examining the Arrakeen house staff] Excuse me, Ma'am, the Harkonnens may have tampered with them medically.

Lady Jessica: When you said Harkonnen, I had no idea you had such cause to hate them.

Dr. Wellington Yueh: My wife. You didn't know my wife? The Hark... forgive me if I can't talk about it.

Lady Jessica: [voice over] They must have killed her.

[looks at him grimace]

Lady Jessica: He's holding something back... but there

[looks at his forehead and sees the Suk School diamond tattoo]

Lady Jessica: the Imperial Seal of Conditioning, assurance of trust...
Lady Jessica: A million deaths were not enough for Yueh!
Shadout Mapes: [Paul has caught the hunter-seeker and smashed it] It would have killed me!

Paul: I was its target.
Thufir Hawat: We're finding these sabotaged devices too easily...
Baron Harkonnen: Am I alive? Am I alive?

Nefud: Yes. You're alive, my Baron.

Baron Harkonnen: I'm alive! Ha!

[floats up in the air]

Baron Harkonnen: I'm alive! Ha-ha-ha!
Guildmaster: [to the Emperor] Remedy this situation, restore spice production, or you will live out your life in a pain amplifier!
Duke Leto Atreides: They have tried to take the life of my son!
Dr. Wellington Yueh: When you see the Baron remember the tooth!
Duke Leto Atreides: Oh Jessica, my beloved concubine. I should have married you.
Guard, House Atreides: Battle language? Harkonnen!
Thufir Hawat: Sector six through eighty progress reports, Sire.

Duke Leto Atreides: Take it, Thufir.

Thufir Hawat: [speaking rapidly into a communications device] Sector six-eighty, copy the sixth the sum of the eighth quadrant of the ninth plus eight-four circles weave the eighth quarter the fourth, copy!

[the device hums briefly]

Thufir Hawat: [to the communication device] Eight! Thufir Hawat, Mentant, Master of Assassins.

Thufir Hawat: [to the Duke] The palace is now secure.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: This is genocide! The systematic extermination of all life on Arrakis!

Paul: [dreams of Dune breaking up] The Emperor is coming!
Baron Harkonnen: What does Leto say, Piter?

Piter De Vries: Vendetta, he says, using the ancient tongue. The art of kanly is still alive in the Universe. He does not wish to meet or speak with you.

Baron Harkonnen: I made my peace gesture. The forms of kanly have been obeyed!
Dr. Wellington Yueh: [scanning a body] My message! It's here!
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Jessica!

Lady Jessica: [enters]

[inner voice]

Lady Jessica: My son - lives!

Reverend Mother Mohiam: I sense your teachings in him. Ignore the regular order of training. His safety requires the Voice.

Paul: I've heard enough of my safety! What about my father? I heard you talking. You speak as if he were dead, well he's not!

Lady Jessica: Paul.

Paul: Well he's not! And he won't die. Tell me he won't die.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: What can be done, has been done.
Lady Jessica: [in the ornithopter] He's dead! Leto, he's dead!

Paul: I know.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: I want telepathy during our meeting.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: I am your Truthsayer, my Lord. He's here, my Lord!
Baron Harkonnen: You wish to join your wife, is that it, traitor?

Dr. Wellington Yueh: She lives?

Baron Harkonnen: You wish to join her? So, join her!

Piter De Vries: [stabs Yueh in the back]

Dr. Wellington Yueh: You think you have won? You think I don't know what I gained for my wife?

[dies]

Baron Harkonnen: Take him away.
Baron Harkonnen: Bring in Feyd and Rabban!
Baron Harkonnen: This is what I'll do to the Duke and his family.
The Beast Rabban: [rips up Dr Kynes' stillsuit] Go now. Take him to his Desert. To die.
Guild Navigator: We have just folded space from Ix.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Yes? How was your journey?

Guild Navigator: Many machines on Ix, new machines.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Oh, yes?

Guild Navigator: Not as good as those on Richese.
Paul: Would you really have drawn my blood?

Gurney Halleck: If you'd have fought one whit below your abilities; I'd have given you a good scar to remind ye.
Dr. Kynes: Urine and feces are processed in the thighpads.
Paul: Can you smell it?
Lady Jessica: It's deafening!
Reverend Mother Mohiam: We must have a look at Paul Atreides.
Lady Jessica: Please...

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Jessica, you know it must be done.
Lady Jessica: I know she has come to test him. No man has ever survived being tested with the box. Tonight I may lose my son.
Lady Jessica: My son lives!
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Give this abomination to the storm!
Reverend Mother Mohiam: I hold at your neck a Gom Jabbar. This one kills only animals.

Paul: Are you suggesting the Duke's son is an animal?

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Let us say, I suggest you may be human. Your awareness may be powerful enough to control your instincts. Your instinct will be to remove your hand from the box. If you do so, you die.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Get out of my mind!

Alia: [using the Voice] Not until you tell them who I really am!
Guildmaster: The Bene Gesserit Witch must leave.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Leave us.

Reverend Mother Mohiam: Yes, my Lord.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: [reading minds from the corridor] Yes! Here it comes.
Thufir Hawat: [seating himself on a bench along the training room wall] Activate a fighter.
Guild Navigator: You are transparent. I see many things. I see plans within plans.
Paul: Things have been so serious here lately.

Gurney Halleck: Soon we leave for Arrakis. Arrakis is real. The Harkonnens are real.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Could he be the one? Maybe. But will he be ours to control?
Paul: Dr. Yueh, do you have any information on the worms of Arrakis?

Dr. Wellington Yueh: I've obtained a film book of a small specimen. Only a 125 meters long.

Paul: Only?

Dr. Wellington Yueh: There have been documented sightings of worms as large as 450 meters in the deep desert. That's far from where we'll be in Arrakeen. The desert belt and south polar region are marked forbidden.

Paul: How do the Fremens survive there?

Dr. Wellington Yueh: We don't know much about the Fremen. They live in the deep desert. Some of them in the cities. They have blue-within-blue eyes.

Paul: Ah, the eyes. Yes. A saturation of the blood by the spice Melange.
Paul: The Harkonnens are our enemy. Yes. But, behind them I suspect is the Emperor.

Thufir Hawat: You will make a formidable Duke!
Duke Leto Atreides: Soon, they will begin to fold space.

Paul: [inner voice] Far off, in the control rooms of spice gas, traveling without moving.
Reverend Mother Ramallo: And now the prophecy: One will come. The voice from the outer world bringing the holy war. The Jihad! Which will cleanse the universe and bring us out of darkness.
Paul: Will we see a worm?

Dr. Kynes: Where there is spice and spice mining, there are always worms.

Paul: Always?

Dr. Kynes: Always.

Paul: Why do they come?

Dr. Kynes: To protect their territory. Vibrations attract them.
Paul: Is there a relationship between the worms and the spice?

Dr. Kynes: As I said, they defend the spice sands. As to their relationship with the spice, who knows?
Paul: Am I the one?
Gurney Halleck: Long live Duke Leto!
Paul: They will call me Muad'Dib.
Paul: Listen to me. Listen! You wanted to know about my dreams. Well, I've just had a waking dream. Do you know why? The spice! Its in everything here!

Lady Jessica: Calm yourself.

Paul: Like a truth-seer drug, it's poison! You knew the spice would change me. But, thanks to your teachings, it's changing my consciousness. I see it! I can see it!

Lady Jessica: [inner voice] Is he the one?
Paul: Father!

[inner voice]

Paul: Father, I promise, one day, the sleeper will awaken and I will avenge your death. I will not stop until I destroy the Emperor and the Baron.
Lady Jessica: What happened? Why did it le-le-leave?

Paul: Someone started another thumper. We're not alone.
Stilgar: Get back! She has the weirding way.

[to Lady Jessica]

Stilgar: Great gods, if you could do this to the strongest of us, you're worth ten times your weight of water. As the leader of my people, I give you my bond. Teach us this weirding way and you both shall have sanctuary. Your water shall mingle with our water.
Paul: [inner voice] The dream unfolds.
Baron Harkonnen: Rabban! I place you in charge of Arrakis. It's yours to squeeze, as I promised. I want you to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze! Give me spice! Drive them. Drive them into utter submission! Do not show the slightest pity or mercy! Never stop. Go. Go! Show no mercy!
Stilgar: Usul has called a big one! Again, it is the legend.
The Beast Rabban: Who is this Muad'Dib?
Paul: Chani, all my images of the future are gone! I have to drink the Water of Life.

Chani: No, Paul, please. I've seen the men who have tried. I've seen how they died.

Paul: No! I'm dead to everyone unless I try to become what I may be. Only the Water of Life can free what will save us.

Chani: Paul...

Paul: I must drink the sacred water.
Paul: Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Your time has come! A storm is coming. Our storm! And when it arrives, it will shake the Universe. Emperor - we come for you! We come for you!
Paul: Gurney, when the storm hits, set off the atomics. I want an opening through the entire shield wall.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Why have you brought me here?

Baron Harkonnen: Your highness, there must be some mistake. I never requested your presence.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Ah, but your lack of action demanded it. Your dreadful mismanagement, your bad judgment, and the assigning to Rabban the governorship. You forced me to come here and set things straight - personally!
Alia: My brother is coming! With many Fremen warriors.

Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: Impossible!

Alia: Not impossible! I told you, he is here - now!
Paul: I will bend like a reed in the wind.
Princess Irulan: [voice over] Fulfilling the Fremen prophecy. Where there was war, Muad'Dib would now bring peace. Where there was hatred, Muad'Dib would bring love. To lead the people to true freedom and to change the face of Arrakis.
Chani: [looming giant worms] They're not attacking!
Dr. Wellington Yueh: I sabotaged the Shield Generators. I've brought House Atreides down.

Duke Leto Atreides: Why?

Dr. Wellington Yueh: I wanted to kill a man. Not you, my dear Duke. You were already dead.
Duke Leto Atreides: [saving Spice Miners from The Worm] Sloppy! Damn sloppy!
Guild Navigator: You must share with us!
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: The Duke's Army is using a technique unknown to us, a technique involving sound.
Duke Leto Atreides: [VO] My beloved concubine, I should have married you.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: The Duke is proving more popular in the Landsraad, he might threaten me.
Paul: We are entering the time when all will turn against us and seek our blood.

Dune short comments

Jessica 2022-03-27 09:01:05

If you go back to that era, compared to Kubrick in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lynch has not improved much.
Dane 2021-11-13 08:01:25

A common practice is that in all the works of famous directors, those who are deliberately mentioned that "the director does not own the final editing rights" are almost certain...it will be ugly. The distributor is really a scapegoat. But the editing of this film really doesn't see any of Lynch's style. The advancement is not alive, the psychological voiceover is rough and abrupt, and the originally obscure narrative has been dragged into accountability. The old man said that this was his most failed film, seconded.
