BEDROOM
Jessica stands over Paul in the dark room. The moon through
the rain-streaked glass paints them in rivulets of light.
For a moment Jessica looks down at her sleeping son. His
eyelids flutter in the grip of his dream.
JESSICA (CONT'D)
Paul.
His eyes open. Half-asleep. Confused.
PAUL
Mother. What’s wrong?
She takes a uniform from his closet and lays it on his bed.
JESSICA
Get dressed and come with me.
Her voice tight with controlled emotion. She turns and exits.
9A INT. CASTLE CORRIDOR - NIGHT 9A *
Paul is now pulling on the stiff military dress of Atreides *
nobility. Black with silver trim, a hint of military style. *
The green Atreides hawk emblazoned on his jacket. *
As he walks down a long corridor, Paul sees two figures *
waiting for him, silhouetted by the light at the end of this *
dark tunnel. *
His mother and a mysterious man with a diamond tattooed on *
his forehead, DOCTOR WELLINGTON YUEH. *
PAUL *
What is this? *
Lady Jessica is trying not to look afraid, but she’s failing. *
JESSICA *
The Reverend Mother Gaius Helen *
Mohiam is here. She was my teacher *
at the Bene Gesserit school. Now *
she is Truthsayer to the Emperor *
himself. *
(beat) *
She would like to meet you. She *
wants to know about your dreams. *
PAUL *
How does she know about my dreams? *
