128 EXT. DESERT - DAY 128


The ornithopter skips across the sand, struts breaking, wings
crumpling, and comes to a stop tilted onto one side.

Paul and Jessica climb out, grab their gear, and run --
struggling through the deep soft sand toward the rocks.
Halfway to the ridge they hear the deep HISS of sand...the
rending of metal behind them as a worm takes the wreck.

Only when they reach the rocks do they look back -- in time
to see a huge wormsign disappearing into the deep desert. The
sun beats down. Heat shimmers off the rocks and dunes.

Jessica peels off her nightgown. Paul turns his back and
undresses. They slither into stillsuits.

CUT TO

They are ready to go.

PAUL
Now we have to find the Fremen.

128A EXT. ROCK RIDGE - DAY 128A


Paul walks followed by Jessica. He’s lost in thoughts.

VOICE (O.S.)
My dear friend.

128B EXT. ARRAKIS DESERT - DAY 128B


From Paul’s point of view, we’re sitting inside a cave.

We turn to see a rugged male Fremen named JAMIS, who
instantly puts us at ease with his calm and pleasant
demeanor.

Jamis looks now very close to camera...

JAMIS
Deep in your heart you know it’s
not you. You are not the One. Don't
take that burden on your shoulders.
You are free. I’ll show you the
ways of the desert. Come with me.
