Paul jumps out onto the sand.

52 EXT. SPICE CRAWLER - CONTINUOUS 52


The spice bed is cinnamon-red underfoot. Paul’s feet sink
deeply into it: it sounds different from sand. He touches the
sand. Orange spice particles glow out of it. On Paul:

CHANI (V.O.)
(whispering)
Paul...

ON LETO: Inside the ornithopter, Leto gets impatient: no one
is outside yet.

LETO
Where are they?
(into the mic)
Delta Ajax niner! Put seven men
each in my ships!

CRAWLER RADIOMAN 2 (V.O.)
We got a full load of spice! We
can’t just leave it!

LETO
(shouting into the mic)
Damn the spice! I want every man
off that crawler. Now!

The crawler’s crew tumbles out onto the sand. Kynes looks at
Leto in startled admiration. Here is a leader of men.

BACK TO PAUL: in the distance, the approaching wormsign is
clearly visible. Paul shouts at the spice workers stumbling
through the dust. The Carryall flies away slowly.

PAUL
THIS WAY! Seven there! Seven in
here!

They run past him gratefully, in desperate haste.

Then a GUST OF WIND slashes across the spice bed -- and COATS
Paul’s face and body with a fine dust of melange.

Paul’s breath catches. His pupils dilate. His heart POUNDS.
Paul fall on his knees. Paul sees something we don’t see.

He is terrified. We hear POWERFUL BENE GESSERIT GHOST VOICES.
