REVEREND MOTHER MOHIAM (CONT'D)


Your mother was tested thus, when
she was your age.

Paul feels his mother’s presence behind him.

REVEREND MOTHER MOHIAM (CONT'D)
Tell me about these dreams.

Paul hesitates. This old woman knows all his secrets.

PAUL
I had one tonight.

REVEREND MOTHER MOHIAM
What did you see?

INSERT: The luminous face of the girl from his dreams.

PAUL
A girl. On Arrakis.

REVEREND MOTHER MOHIAM
Have you dreamt of her before?

PAUL
Many times.

REVEREND MOTHER MOHIAM
Do you dream things that happen
just as you dreamed them?

PAUL
Not exactly. *
(ALT:) *
Sometimes. *

The Reverend Mother stands, looks up at Paul with glinting
eyes.

REVEREND MOTHER MOHIAM
Goodbye, young human. I hope you
live.

She leaves, followed by Jessica. We stay with Paul.

11 EXT. CASTLE CALADAN - TERRACE LANDING PAD - NIGHT 11


Jessica walks Reverend Mother back to her ship in the fog. *
Her fear and relief have given way to cold anger. *

JESSICA *
Was this necessary? *
