29 INT. ORNITHOPTER - CONTINUOUS 29
Hawat takes a seat beside the PILOT. Paul and Jessica sit in
back. As the engines spin up, Paul stares out at the crowd.
PAUL *
They were pointing at us. What are *
they shouting? *
JESSICA *
Lisan al-Gaib. Voice from the Outer *
World. It’s their name for messiah. *
She speaks quietly, for Paul’s ears alone. *
JESSICA (CONT'D) *
It means the Bene Gesserit have *
been at work here. *
PAUL *
Planting superstitions. *
JESSICA *
Preparing the way. *
(beat) *
These people have been waiting for *
centuries for the Lisan al-Gaib. *
They look at you and see the signs. *
Paul looks away from his mother. *
PAUL *
(darkly) *
They see what they’ve been told to *
see. *
But Jessica just looks at her boy with quiet pride, her faith *
in him unshaken. *
Interrupting this moment, Hawat looks back over his shoulder
as the ornithopter’s motors power up.
HAWAT
Let’s get you out of the sun.
The heat can kill in this place.
30 INT./EXT. ORNITHOPTER (IN FLIGHT) 30
The ornithopter lifts off, beating its powerful wings as it
rises away from the spaceport. A squadron of ornithopter
gunships lifts off with them and flies escort.
As they rise, we see the vastness of the desert around them.
