spice must flow,
The spice has given me
accelerated evolution
for 4, 000 years,
It has enabled you
to live 200,
It gives the Bene Gesserit
sisterhoods
the metaphysical ability
to see beyond,
You want superior powers,
O ur power to fold space
is in the spice,
Without us,
your empire will be lost,
On isolated scattered planets,
you would be lost,
One small point,
(Reverend Mother)
Here it comes,
(Guild navigator)
We, ourselves,
foresee a slight problem
within the House Atreides,
Paul, Paul Atreides,
You mean, of cou rse,
Du ke Leto Atreides,
h is father?
I mean Paul Atreides,
We want him killed,
I did not say this,
I am not here,
I u nderstand.
(Emperor)
Why would they want
the Duke's son killed?
Wel l?
They fear that
putti ng House Atreides
on Arrakis will
hurt spice production.
For us,
a small amount is enough
to greatly extend our lives.
But they consume
tremendous quantities.
A great deal is needed
to evolve the seeing eye.
They worry.
The Universe worries
when they worry.
What else?
So much was unclear.
You may go, Helen Mohiam,
Bene Gesserit.
Y es, my lord.
She's Bene Gesserit.
There's nowhere
in the Universe
you can escape them.
Her loyalty to the sisterhood
is stronger than
her loyalty to me.
Watch her carefully.
Why would they want
the Duke's son killed?
We must have a look
at Paul Atreides.
On Caladan.
(Guild navigator)
I mean Paul Atreides,
We want him killed,
(Emperor)
Why would they want
the Duke's son killed?
(Reverend Mother)
We m ust have a look
at Paul Atreides,
On Caladan,
(male narrator)
The powerful
Bene Gesserit sisterhood,
for 90 generations,
has been
manipulating bloodlines
to produce
the Kwisatz Haderach,
A super being,
On Caladan, Jessica,
a member of the sisterhood
and the bound concubine
of Duke Leto Atreides
had been ordered
to bear only daughters,
Because of her love
for the Duke,
she disobeyed and gave
birth to a son, Paul,
Paul Atreides,
(Paul)
Here we are now, Caladan,
And 1 9 light-years beyond,
Beyond Bene Tleilax,
(male narrator)
The training planet
of the Mentats,
the h uman computers,
Know a Mentat by
his red-stained lips,
(Paul)
There, Arrakis,
(female narrator)
Spice Mining,
Carryalls lower
the harvester to the sand,
and lift it off to safety
when a worm attacks,
Worms attack all
rhythmic vibrations,
[com puter cl icks]
Weather, See storms,
No Precipitation,
(Paul)
Never one drop of rain
on Arrakis,
And the Harkonnens are near,
There,
Giedi Prime
and the Baron Harkonnen,
The enemy,
(female narrator)
Saguaro, burrow bush,
creosote bush,
barrel cactus,,,
(Princess Irulan)
The beginning
is a very delicate time,
Know then,
that it is the year 1 01 91,
(male narrator)
Gurney Halleck,
a troubadour-warrior,
is companion and teacher
to Paul Atreides,
Dr, Wellington Yueh,
Royal Physician
to the House of Atreides,
He wears the diamond tattoo
of imperial conditioning
on his forehead,
This signifies that he has had
the highest conditioning
against taking h uman life,
Therefore,
this makes him safe enough
to attend to even an emperor,
(Princess Irulan)
The spice is vital
to space travel,
The Spacing Guild
and its navigators,,,
Among those who serve
Duke Leto Atreides
is Th ufir Hawat,
Mentat Master of Assassins
to the House of Atreides,
A Mentat is a h uman being
who is trained and conditioned
for supreme accomplishments
of logic,
A h uman computer
to perform certain duties,
I know, Th ufi r,
l' m sitti ng
with my back to the door.
I heard you, Doctor Y ueh,
and Gurney
coming down the hall.
Those sounds
could be imitated!
[clicks]
I'd know the difference.
(Thufir)
Yes, Perhaps he would at that,
My father sent
you to test me.
Music, then?
No music.
I' m packing this
for the crossing.
Shield practice.
Shield practice?
Gurney, we had
practice this morning.
I'm not in the mood.
Not in the mood?
Mood's a thing for
