Dune

Paul Atreides: I know, Thufir, I'm sitting with my back to the door. I hear you, Dr. Yueh, and Gurney coming down the hall. Thufir Hawat: Those sounds could be imitated! Paul: I'd know the difference. Thufir: [voiceover] Yes, perhaps he would at that.

Paul Atreides: My father sent you to test me. Music, then? Gurney Halleck: No music — I'm packing this [puts down his baliset] for the crossing. Shield practice. Paul: Shield practice? Gurney, I thought we had practice this morning. I'm not in the mood. Gurney: Not in the mood?! Mood's a thing for cattle and love play, not fighting. Paul: I'm sorry, Gurney. Gurney: [draws a knife and raises his body shield] Not sorry enough.

Paul Atreides: [holding a knife to Gurney's throat] Is this what you seek? Gurney Halleck: Good. The slow blade penetrates the shield, but ah, look down. [Paul sees Gurney's blade at his own waist.] We'd have joined each other in death. You did seem, finally, to get in the mood. [they both turn their shields off] Paul: Would you really have drawn my blood? Gurney: If you had fought one whit below your abilities, I'd have given you a good scar to remind you. Paul: Things have been so serious here lately. Gurney: Soon we leave for Arrakis. Arrakis is real. The Harkonnens are real.

Paul Atreides: Duncan! Duncan Idaho: Paul. I was just on my way to say good-bye to you. I have to go on ahead, alone. I won't be seeing you for a while. Paul: I wish you were coming with us. Why? Duncan: There's something for your father. He wants to talk to you. I'll see you on Arrakis. May the hand of God be with you. Paul: May the hand of God be with us all, Duncan.

Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam: Jessica, you were told to bear only daughters to the Atreides. [Jessica ignores her, lost in thought] Jessica! Jessica Atreides: It meant so much to him. Reverend Mother: You thought only of a Duke's desire for a son?! Desires don't come into this. An Atreides daughter could've been wed to a Harkonnen heir and sealed the breach! We may lose both bloodlines now. Jessica: I vowed never to regret my decision. I'll pay for all my own mistakes. Reverend Mother: And your son will pay with you!

Paul Atreides: What's in the box? Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam: Pain. I hold at your neck the gom jabbar. This one kills only animals. Paul Atreides: Are you suggesting the Duke's son is an animal? Reverend Mother: Let us say I suggest you may be human. Your awareness may be powerful enough to control your instincts. Your instinct would be to remove your hand from the box. If you do so, you die. You will feel... an itching... there! Now, the itching becomes burning. Heat upon heat upon heat. Paul: It burns! Reverend Mother: Silence. Silence!
