22aaB INT. PAUL’S BEDROOM - SAME TIME 22aaB


Soldiers and servants are helping Paul to move his belongings
out of his quarters.

22aaA INT. PAUL’S STUDY- DAY 22aaA


Paul’s study has been mostly packed in boxes.

Paul is reading a book about FREMEN, fascinated. Beside him,
a FILMBOOK HOLOGRAPHIC DOCUMENTARY shows a distant cloaked
silhouette walking in the desert, using strange erratic
patterns. A FREMEN, using the sandwalk. The image is old, of
bad quality.

FILMBOOK (V.O.)
The Fremen, the native tribes of
Arrakis, use the sandwalk to avoid
worm attacks. Sandworms are drawn
to rhythmic noises. The sandwalk is
designed to emulate the natural
sounds of the desert... (etc.)

Paul tries to mimic the sandwalk.

14 INT. TRAINING ROOM - DAY 14


Paul stands in a fencing practice room, a sword in his hand.
Dressed for practice, breathing deeply, sweat on his brow. He
faces a battered old target dummy.

He lunges in a precision attack, his arm strong and sure.
Recovers -- and attacks again. Paul feels a presence but
doesn’t turn. Someone else is in the room.

GURNEY
Don’t stand with your back to the
door. How many times do we need to
tell you?

PAUL
I could tell it was you by your
footsteps, Gurney Halleck.

Paul turns.

Gurney stands behind him. His arms are full of swords and
knives in scabbards.

PAUL (CONT'D)
Are you the new Weapons Master?
