Dune (2021) quotes

We chased them into a Coriolis storm. Winds at eight hundred kilometers an hour. Nothing survives such a storm. They're dead. It's a certainty.

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen

So it's done, finally. Send word to Giedi Prime to begin selling our spice reserves... but slowly. We don't want the price to fall. You have no idea how much it cost me to bring such a force to bear here. Now I have only one requirement: Income. So squeeze, Rabban. Squeeze hard.

Yes, Uncle. And the Fremen?

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen

Kill them all.

Chani

I don't believe you're the Lisan al-Gaib.. but I want you to die with honor. [offers Paul her knife] This crysknife was given to me by my great aunt. It's made from a tooth of Shai Hulud, the great sandworm. This will be a great honor for you to die holding it.

Jamis

Where is the outworlder?

Chani

Jamis is a good fighter. He won't let you suffer.

Dr. Liet Kynes

You've worn a stilsuit before?

Paul Atreides

No, this is my first time.

Kynes

Your desert boots are fitted slip-fashion at the ankles. Who taught you to do that?

Paul Atreides

It seemed the right way.

Kynes

He shall know your ways as though born to them.

Smile, Gurney.

Gurney Halleck

I am smiling.

Duke Leto Atreides

Dr. Kynes. You saw it. With your own eyes. It's plain to see. Everything they've left us is in shambles. We've been set up to fail.

Dr. Liet Kynes

That carryall was just old. The desert isn't kind to equipment.

Duke Leto Atreides

You know what will happen if I don't get spice production back on track.

Dr. Liet Kynes

I'm not here to take your part. Arrakis has seen men like you come and go. Take good care of your family. The desert's not kind to humans, either.

Duke Leto Atreides

Jessica. You gave me a son, and from the moment he was born, I never questioned you. I trusted you completely, even when you walked in shadows. Now I'm asking you this one thing. If anything happens, will you protect our son?

Lady Jessica Atreides

With my life.

Duke Leto Atreides

I'm not asking his mother, I'm asking the Bene Gesserit. Will you protect Paul?

Lady Jessica Atreides

Why are you having these thoughts? Leto, this is not you.

Duke Leto Atreides

I thought we had more time.

Duke Leto Atreides

What do they say about this hellhole again?

Gurney Halleck

"To shower, you scrub your ass with sand," my lord. That's what they say.

Duke Leto Atreides

Where are they?

Sir, there's protocol for a reason. If we take one step out there, we're as good as dead. Besides, we're got a full load of spice. We can't just leave it...

Duke Leto Atreides

Damn the spice! I want every man off that crawler now!

Duncan Idaho

Kynes!

Dr. Liet Kynes

It's not safe for you here.

Duncan Idaho

Will you tell the Great Houses of the Landsraad how we were betrayed? How the best of them were murdered?

Dr. Liet Kynes

I am commanded to say nothing. To see nothing.

Duncan Idaho

The Emperor sent us here to die.

Duncan Idaho

Look at you. Put on some muscle?

Paul Atreides

I did?

Duncan Idaho

No.

Duncan

The Fremen watched me search for them for days. I never saw them. Finally, they sent a warrior out to kill me. And I gotta tell you, I have never come so close to dying. There's no finer fighter in the Imperium. They fight like demons.

Leto Atreides

Desert power.

Uncle, how can we let this happen? How can the Emperor... TAKE EVERYTHING WE'VE BUILT AND GIVE IT TO THAT DUKE?! HOW?!

Piter De Vries

Don't be too sure it's an act of love.

What does he mean?

Baron Vladimir Harkonnen

When is a gift not a gift? The Atreides voice is rising, and the Emperor is a jealous man. A dangerous, jealous man.

By the grace of Shaddam IV of House Corrino, ascendant to the Golden Lion Throne of Padishah Emperor of the Known Universe, I stand before you as Herald of the Change. We are witnessed by members of the Imperial Court, representatives of the Spacing Guild and a sister of the Bene Gesserit. The Emperor has spoken. "House Atreides shall immediately take control of Arrakis and serve as its steward." Do you accept?

Duke Leto Atreides

We are House Atreides. There is no call we do not answer. There is no faith that we betray. The Emperor asks us to bring peace to Arrakis. House Atreides accepts!

Dreams are messages from the deep.

Jamis

I will not have them.

Stilgar

Jamis, I have spoken. Be still.

Jamis

You talk like a leader. But the strongest leads. She bested you. I invoke the amtal.

Stilgar

You may not challenge a Sayyadina.

Jamis

Then who will fight in her name?

Stilgar

Jamis, don't do this. Don't. The night is fading.

Jamis

Then the sun will witness this death.
