LANVILLE


My Lord, the sun is too high now.
We have to seal the doors.

Leto grins and sighs.

LETO
What do they say about this hell
hole again?

GURNEY
“To shower, you scrub your ass with
sand,” my Lord. That’s what they
say.

LETO
That’s what they say.

35 INT. RESIDENCY - PAUL’S NEW ROOM - DAY 35


Paul stands in a beautifully designed room. The bed has a
carved headboard: an Asian-styled relief of fish in swirling
waters. A shaft of sunlight fills the room with gold. Paul
gazes out the window at the alien skyline of Arrakeen. Spice
particles dance in the wind.

34 INT. NORTH WING - CORRIDOR 34


Paul walks down a corridor decorated with a long FRESCO of a
SANDWORM among rolling dunes. He looks at it in amazement.

37 INT. DINING HALL - DAY 37


A formal dining room with a table long enough to seat thirty.
The mounted BULL’S HEAD lies face-up on the table. A guard
stand by the door.

Eight Arrakeen women in servant dresses stand in a row. Hawat
leads Jessica in and gestures at the women.

HAWAT
Candidates for housekeeper, my
Lady.

He bows and leaves her. Jessica walks up to the women. They
drop to their knees and prostrate themselves, startling her.

JESSICA
Oh. Is this Arrakeen custom?
