Paul Atreides quotes from Dune: Part Two (2024)

Played by Timothée Chalamet

View Quote Sister, Father is dead. Shouldn't you go back to the stars, be with him? I'm afraid I won't have enough time to fix things before your coming. This world is beyond cruelty.

View Quote Look at how your Bene Gesserit propaganda has taken root. Some of them already think I'm their Messiah. Others... a false prophet.

View Quote Let me fight beside you. That's all I'm asking.

View Quote Now that's interesting, because in the filmbooks, the anthropologists say in order to properly sandwalk, you actually have— Never mind. Please keep going.

View Quote You've been fighting the Harkonnens for decades. My family's been fighting them for centuries. I know everything about them, their habits, their ways of thinking. You know everything about the desert, you harness the very power of it. We can stop them together, bury them in the sand where they belong so that this planet can be yours once more.

View Quote [to Gurney] I recognized your footsteps... Old Man.

View Quote Our enemies are all around us. And in so many futures, they prevail. But I do see a way. There is a narrow way through.

View Quote We're Harkonnens. So this is how we will survive. By being Harkonnens.

View Quote [in Chakobsa] Your mothers warned out about my coming! Fear the moment. [in English] But do you think you could have a chance? [in Chakobsa] But you're afraid. What if I could be the One? This could be the moment you've been praying for, all your life. You're praying now to your grandmother. She died nine moons ago. She lost an eye. A rock smashed her face when she was crossing the Belt. She was twelve when it happened. At that time, this world had a Fremen name. Dune.

View Quote I am Paul Muad'dib Atreides, Duke of Arrakis. [in Chakobsa] The Hand of God be my witness! I am the Voice from the Outer World. I will lead you to PARADISE! (E Rudhi Dina, heshidhanii: ne Lisaan al-Gayib. Ruyi dimala ruk ashidhgim!)

View Quote [in Chakobsa] Long live the fighters! (Addaam reshii a-zaanta!)

View Quote [to Baron Harkonnen] Grandfather. You die like an animal.

View Quote [to Chani] I want you to know... I will love you as long as I breathe.

Scenes with Paul Atreides

View Quote Lady Jessica: Your father didn't believe in revenge.
Paul: Yeah, well, I do.

View Quote Shishakli: The further north you go, the more likely it is you die.
Paul: [in Chakobsa] Then I'll die... maybe you will, too. But the others will keep going. And they won't stop until the Fremen are free.

View Quote Chani: Where you're from, does water really fall from the sky?
Paul: Oh, hm, yes. Sometimes, it rains for weeks on Caladan. Where you see sand here, imagine water. Our castle stands on cliffs high above the sea. If you dive in, you can't reach the bottom.
Chani: You dive in?
Paul: Yes, it's called swimming.
Chani: [laughs] I don't-- I don't believe you, Usul.

View Quote Jessica: Do you not think I also feel the weight of the prophecy?
Paul: It's not a prophecy. It's a story that you keep telling, but it's not their story. It's yours. They deserve to be led by one of their own. What your people did to this world is heartbreaking.
Jessica: We gave them something to hope for.
Paul: THAT'S NOT HOPE!

View Quote Gurney: "Muad'Dib, the Prophet". Why is that a bad thing? Use it.
Paul: It's not that simple.
Gurney: You have the power to avenge your father, and you're afraid to use it?
Paul: Spice opened my mind, Gurney. I can forsee things. If I go South, all my visions lead to horror. Billions of corpses scattered across the galaxy, all dying because of me.
Gurney: Because you lose control?
Paul: Because I gain it.

View Quote Paul: He who can destroy a thing has the real control of it.
Chani: So you can control it, but not us?

View Quote Stilgar: We need you, we need the Lisan al-Gaib to lead our people.
Paul: You know what I think of all that, Stilgar.
Stilgar: I don't care what you believe, I believe!

View Quote Elder: Only tribe leaders can speak. If you wish to share your voice, you must take his place by defeating him and returning his water to the well.
Paul: You think I'm stupid enough to deprive myself of the best of us? [in Chakobsa] Do you smash a knife before battle?
Stilgar: [English] Take my life, Usul. It is the only way.
Paul: I'm pointing the way!
Jessica: Slow down.
Paul: [in Chakobsa] There is no one in this room who can stand against me!

View Quote Reverend Mother Mohiam: Consider what you are about to do, Paul Atreides—
Paul: [using The Voice] SILENCE!
Reverend Mother Mohiam: [taken aback at Paul's outburst] Abomination.

View Quote Emperor Shaddam IV: As a servant of the Imperium, you will bow at my feet.
Paul: Your feet?! You'll be lucky to keep your head.

View Quote Paul: May thy knife chip and shatter.
Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen: May thy knife chip and shatter.

View Quote Gurney: My Lord. The Great Houses have answered. They refuse to honor your ascendancy.
Stilgar: We await your orders, Lisan al-Gaib.
Paul: Lead them to paradise.
