Paul : ...My father sent you to test me, didn't he?

Paul : Music, then?
Gurney Halleck : No music. I'm packing this for the crossing.
[He sets down the baliset]
Gurney Halleck : Shield practice.
Paul : Again? Gurney, we had practice all this morning. I'm not in the mood.
Gurney Halleck : Not in the mood? Mood's a thing for cattle and loveplay, not fighting!
Paul : I'm sorry, Gurney.
Gurney Halleck : Not sorry enough, not yet!
[He activates his shield and attacks Paul, who activates his own shield barely in time]
Paul : [to himself] What's wrong with Gurney? He's not faking this!
Gurney Halleck : Now, guard yourself for true!

Paul : [sees Thufir] My God.
[inner voice]
Paul : They've taken your mind.
[out loud]
Paul : Gurney, I see Thufir Hawat among the captives. Let him stand free.
Feyd-Rautha : [turns towards Thufir] The antidote.
[he slips a knife inside Thufir's sleeve]
Gurney Halleck : Thufir, come.
Paul : In payment of the many years of service to my family, you may ask me of anything you wish. Do you need my life, old friend? It is yours.
[turns around]
Paul : I mean this Thufir, if you are to strike, do it now.
Thufir Hawat : [raises knife, to everyone's shock, but drops it and turns back to Feyd] Did you truly believe, even for a moment, that I would fail my Duke TWICE?
[He rips out his own heart plug, then collapses into Paul's arms]
Thufir Hawat : Three generations of... you...
[he dies]
Paul : Carry this noble Atreides warrior away. Do him all honor.

Paul : Things have been so serious here lately.

Paul : Don't you believe your own eyes?
Gurney Halleck : They said you were dead! They said...
Paul : [shows him the signet ring]
Gurney Halleck : [hugs him] You young puppy! You young puppy!
Paul : Gurney, man! Gurney, man!
