IDAHO
That’s a sand compactor.
Gurney examines the strange tool dubiously.
GURNEY
My God, man, you’ve gone native.
PAUL
You admire them.
IDAHO
I do. They’re fierce, but loyal.
Attuned to the desert. Part of it.
It’s part of them. Wait ‘til you
see. It’s beautiful out there.
48A EXT. SPACEPORT - MORNING 48A
Several old and rusty HARVESTERS are on repair. Very few
CARRYALLS grab harvesters and take off with them.
A little convoy of flying carryalls bring harvesters toward
the open desert.
48 INT. ARRAKEEN RESIDENCY - AIRCRAFT BAY - MORNING 48
Duke Leto and Paul emerge from the Residency, followed by
Gurney. All three wear stillsuits and desert gear. They
approach a waiting ornithopter.
There stands DR. LIET KYNES. A tall, lean woman in her
forties who exudes pride and intelligence. She has the
shocking blue eyes of spice saturation. She is dressed in a
stillsuit and desert robes. Atreides troops stand by with
drawn swords and live shields.
GURNEY
The Judge of the Change, Sire.
Dr. Liet Kynes.
She nods solemnly, meeting Leto’s eyes boldly.
KYNES
My Lord Duke. Welcome to Arrakis.
PAUL
You’re the Imperial Ecologist.
Thank you for the stillsuits.
