BENE GESSERIT GHOSTS (V.O.)


KWISATZ HADERACH! LISAN AL GAIB! *


KWISATZ HADERACH! LISAN AL GAIB! *


DUKE LETO’S ORNITHOPTER


Kynes wrestles the back seat out of the aircraft and throws
it on the sand. Spice workers crawl in and sit on the deck.


Gurney arrives beside her. Sees Paul missing. He spins.


GURNEY
Paul!

Paul, on his knees, is a tiny inert figure almost under the
spice crawler’s caterpillar treads.


The worm is almost upon them. The other ornithopters are
lifting off.


ON PAUL


He is lost in his vision, beside the crawler. The worm
bearing down on him.


PAUL (V.O.)
(in trance)
I recognize your footsteps, old
man.

As Gurney drags him to his feet, shaking him from the vision.


GURNEY
We have to run, Paul! Now!

The hissing of the great worm through the sand fills the air.
A tidal wave of sand about to break over them.


DUKE LETO’S ORNITHOPTER


Leto lifts off with the ramp down, jets screaming. Eyes
locked on his son. Driving the aircraft to its limits.


The sand wave subsides as the worm dives under the crawler.


Leto slides the ornithopter sideways with consummate skill.
Paul and Gurney run out of the dust and leap onto the ramp.
Gurney grabs a rail with one hand and Paul with the other.


GURNEY (CONT'D)
Go go go!
