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.

Spacing Guildsman: Emperor Shaddam IV, you have one last chance to take matters into your own hands and bring the situation under control on Arrakis.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: What do you mean, one last—
Spacing Guildsman: Do not speak! Listen! You do not have more than this one chance! I represent the entire Guild in this matter! Our navigators warn you that spice production is in great danger! A new Fremen leader, Muad'dib, has stopped spice mining on Arrakis! Our navigators suggest he is not of Arrakis. No one on the outside world has been able to see him. We do not know who he is. The Harkonnens cannot stop him. Remedy the situation! Restore spice production, or you will live out your life in a pain amplifier!

Iakin Nefud: What are your orders, Piter?
Piter De Vries: (referring to Jessica and Paul) Take them to the desert as the traitor suggested. The worms will destroy the evidence. Their bodies must never be found.
