A BASHAR of the Sardaukar, an officer, leads Piter de Vries
on an inspection of the troops. Even Piter is daunted.
SARDAUKAR BASHAR
You outnumber the Atreides three to
one. Still you come to us.
PITER
The Atreides legions are the finest
in the Imperium. Trained by Gurney
Halleck and Duncan Idaho.
The Bashar spins on him with a snarl, making Piter step back.
SARDAUKAR BASHAR
We are the Sardaukar. The Emperor’s
blades. All who stand against us
fall.
PITER
Just so. Three battalions. As
agreed.
The Sardaukar finish their ritual. They rise in unison and
thrust their swords into the air with a cry. Piter flinches.
SARDAUKAR BASHAR
The Emperor commands it. It is
done.
55 INT. PAUL’S ROOM - SUNSET 55
Paul sits on his desk chair as Doctor Yueh examines him.
Jessica stands beside him, concerned.
DOCTOR YUEH
Spice is a psychoactive chemical.
You seem to be sensitive to small
doses. A liability on Arrakis.
You’ll be fine.
JESSICA *
Thank you, Dr Yueh. *
He nods respectfully and exits. Paul looks at his mother. *
PAUL *
This wasn’t an allergic reaction. I *
inhaled spice and I had visions. *
With my eyes wide open. *
JESSICA *
What did you see? *
