75 EXT. ARRAKEEN RESIDENCY - NIGHT 75
The Atreides house guards are holding against the Harkonnens,
bodies piling up at their feet. Then Sardaukar begin dropping
from the sky. They join the battle. Atreides guards fall. The
invading force breaks through. Into the Residency.
76 SERVICE CORRIDOR 76
Duke Leto sits slumped against the wall, shield deactivated.
Yueh stoops over him. Leto tries to rise and cannot move.
DOCTOR YUEH
I’m sorry, my Lord. I am. But I’ve
made a bargain with the Baron.
LETO
Why...?
DOCTOR YUEH
I had no choice. The Harkonnens
have my wife. Wanna.
He is in agony at the thought, tears streaming down his face.
DOCTOR YUEH (CONT'D)
They take her apart like a doll.
I will buy her freedom. And you are
the price. But you and I will make
another bargain, between us.
He pulls the Ducal signet ring off Leto’s hand. Holds it up.
DOCTOR YUEH (CONT'D)
For Paul. I will do what I can.
The thought of his family drives Leto to desperation. But his
paralysis is deepening and he cannot speak.
DOCTOR YUEH (CONT'D)
And you will kill a man for me.
Leto stares at him, not understanding.
DOCTOR YUEH (CONT'D)
I’m going to replace the peg tooth
in your mouth.
He holds up a new false tooth.
DOCTOR YUEH (CONT'D)
If you bite down hard, this tooth
will crush.
