Duncan bows and leaves. Leto stays alone, lost in thoughts.
60 INT. ARRAKEEN LANDING - BARRACKS - NIGHT 60
Gurney leans his baliset against his shoulder. His callused
fingers draw mournful arpeggios from the strings.
The troops listening.
GURNEY
(singing)
I remember salt smoke from a beach
fire,
The seagulls crying on the
strand...
64 INT. MASTER BEDROOM - NIGHT 64
Leto and Jessica lie in bed. A tense frown on Leto’s brow.
GURNEY (V.O.)
(singing)
Now worlds away, in stranger skies,
They call no more, they call no
more.
JESSICA
You have to sleep.
She reaches for the silver tray on her bedside table: a
sleeping pill from Doctor Yueh.
LETO
Not like that.
She smiles, knowing what he wants.
JESSICA
Close your eyes.
He obeys. She lays her fingers on his temples, her thumb on
his third eye, and hums softly, a beautiful, hypnotic drone.
Instantly Leto’s breathing deepens. The lines in his face
smooth away. A smile touches his lips...and he’s asleep.
GURNEY (V.O.)
(singing)
I remember perfume on a silken
veil,
Lovers’ arms pale against the
dusk...
