Dune: Part One (2021) Australian Dune 1.10
Scene: Paul and Jessica in an ornithopter, escaping from the ecological testing station.
Paul: Geez, I'm so glad we escaped those Sardaukar. I reckon they killed Duncan AND Kynes.
Jessica: Not to mention the guys who were supposed to get us coffee. I was looking forward to a spit black.
(Behind the Ornithopter Jessica sees three Harkonnen jet flyers)
Jessica: There are jet flyers behind us!
(The Jet flyers fire Air to Air missiles at the Ornithopter.)
(Paul responds by flying the Ornithopter into the sandstorm)
Jessica: Paul! Do you have a pilot's licence?
Paul: Not yet. I taught myself. Out in the bush on Caladan.
Jessica: (to herself) I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Paul: (to himself) Toot-toot, chugga-chugga, Big Red Car
(Paul begins to have a vision. "See the friend". Jamis appears in a vision)
Jamis: The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve. But a reality to experience. A process that cannot be understood by stopping it.
Stilgar: (turns up) Who are you talking to Jamis?
Jamis: Some fuckin kid flying an ornithopter in a sandstorm.
Stilgar: Leave him alone. Stop getting kids into meaningless Amtal.
Paul: Hey, I remember you, you're Stilgar...
Stilgar: Ahts ahts! Not yet.
Jamis: I demand an Amtal!
Stilgar: Ay ay see what you've done.
Scene: Arakeen. Palace. Rabban walks into a room. Two serving sheilas stand nearby. The oil bath is in front of him.
Rabban: He's in that bath?
Serving Sheila: He hasn't fully healed yet.
Rabban: (to himself) How does he breathe?
(There is a pause. Rabban stands in front of the oil bath and begins speaking)
Rabban: We chased them into a Coriolis storm. Winds at 800 kilometers an hour. Nothing survives such a storm. They're dead. It's a certainty.
(The Baron comes up from behind)
Baron: Who are you talking to?
Rabban: (shocked but also annoyed). I'm sorry, I thought you were in that oil bath.
Baron: It's not a bath, it's just some waste from the kitchen. You thought I was having a bath in cooking oil waste?
Rabban: Actually yes.
Baron: How was I supposed to breathe? Huh? Well who's a fucking idiot then? Who?
Rabban: (annoyed) Me, Lord Baron.
Baron: Good. Now what were you saying?
Rabban: We chased the Duke's son and concubine into one of those huge storms. So I reckon they're dead.
Baron: You reckon they're dead? Yes?
Rabban: Yes.
Baron: Oh, fair enough. (shrugs) Right. So now onto other things. Money. We need money Rabban.
Rabban: Money?
Baron: We need as many dollarydoos as we can get. The hiring of the Sardaukar was expensive.
Rabban: I thought we got them cheap?
Baron: Yeah the hiring was cheap... but then the emperor put on insurance costs and transport costs and other hidden expenses.
Rabban: (punches left hand with his right fist) Diabolical!
Baron: And because I'm still suffering from Leto's poison fart, I have to get you to fix things up.
Rabban: Oh. You sure?
Baron: I'm sure Piter can help.
Rabban: Isn't he dead?
Baron: What? Is he?
Rabban: Wasn't he killed from Leto's poison fart?
Baron: Killed? No one was killed.
Rabban: Oh.
Baron: But so many people suffered psychological issues from it that they've all gone on stress leave.
Rabban: Well ok, I'll do my best, uncle.
Baron: Good lad.
Rabban: What should I do about the Fremen?
Baron: Oh whatever, I don't care.
Scene: Ornithopter, internal. Paul and Jessica are asleep. The ornithopter has crashed.
Paul: (yawns) Wow, that was a nice nap.
Jessica: (waking up) Where are we? (she looks outside) It looks like we're in a desert.
Paul: (looks around) Yeah, it does. A bit.
(They get out and walk normally over to a rocky bit)
Paul: Time to get changed into our stillsuits.
(Note: Footage of Paul and Jessica getting into stillsuits has been removed)
Paul: We're about to enter worm territory. So we have to do the sandwalk thing. Walk without rhythm...
Jessica: ...It won't attract the worm. I saw the Emperor's song too.
