DUNCAN *
Stabilizers still too lose. *
LANVILLE *
We’ll dial ‘em in. *
Duncan lays one huge hand on Lanville’s shoulder. *
DUNCAN *
Dial faster. *
Lanville grin and nods. Duncan turns to his commandos to give
more instructions, then sees:
DUNCAN (CONT'D) *
PAUL! *
Paul’s been waiting at the entrance of the hanger. Duncan
runs to him and wraps the boy in a hug.
PAUL *
Duncan. *
DUNCAN *
(pushing Paul back) *
You put on muscle! *
PAUL *
I did? *
DUNCAN *
No. Try eating something. *
Paul’s laugh is short: his mood is too serious for joking. He
checks to make sure no one’s in earshot.
PAUL *
So... you’re going back to Arrakis *
tomorrow. With the advance team. *
DUNCAN *
Yeah. *
Paul screws up the courage to ask the impossible. Then: *
PAUL *
I would like you to take me with *
you. *
DUNCAN *
You do? Oh. Too bad. Because no. *
PAUL *
Duncan-- *
