DUNE (2021) SENTENCE STARTERS
❛ Dreams are messages from the deep. ❜
❛ Why do we have to go through all of this when it’s already been decided? ❜
❛ You look tired. More dreams? ❜
❛ There is no call we do not answer. There is no faith that we betray. ❜
❛ Can I trust you with something? ❜
❛ I’ve been having dreams. ❜
❛ That’s a good omen right there, right? ❜
❛ I saw you lying dead. Fallen in battle. ❜
❛ Dreams make good stories, but everything important happens when we’re awake, because that’s where we make things happen. ❜
❛ I need you by my side. ❜
❛ I want you sitting in on my council, learn what I do. ❜
❛ If your answer is “no” you’ll still be the only thing I ever needed you to be, my son. ❜
❛ I found my own way to it. Maybe you’ll find yours. ❜
❛ Don’t stand with your back to the door. How many times do we have to tell you? ❜
❛ I’m not in the mood today. ❜
❛ You fight when the necessity arises, no matter the mood. Now, fight! ❜
❛ You don’t get it, do you? You don’t really understand the grave nature of what’s happening to us. ❜
❛ You have to be ready. ❜
❛ When is a gift not a gift? ❜
❛ Not a word of this to anyone. ❜
❛ Remember your training. ❜
❛ Defiance in the eyes, like his father. ❜
❛ How dare you use the Voice on me? ❜
❛ Why are you doing this? ❜
❛ An animal caught in a trap will gnaw off its own leg to escape. What will you do? ❜
❛ I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. ❜
❛ Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. ❜
❛ If you had been unable to control your impulses like an animal, we could not have let you live. ❜
❛ You have more than one birthright. ❜
❛ Do you often dream things that happen just as you dreamt them? ❜
❛ Goodbye, young human. I hope you’ll live. ❜
❛ Did you have to go that far? ❜
❛ Do you see so little hope? ❜
❛ All part of the plan. ❜
❛ How does it feel to walk on a new world? ❜
❛ Let’s get you out of the sun. The heat can kill in this place. ❜
❛ They see what they’ve been told to see. ❜
❛ What do they say about this hell hole again? ❜
❛ If you mean to harm me, I must warn you whatever you’re hiding, it won’t be enough. ❜
❛ When you have lived with a prophecy for so long the moment of revelation is a shock. ❜
❛ You shouldn’t be out here at this time of the day. ❜
❛ I failed you today. There’s no excuse. ❜
❛ They tried to take the life of my son! ❜
❛ I don’t give a damn about your honor. You want absolution? Go catch some spies. ❜
❛ Allow them the dignity of exile. ❜
❛ I give you my word. We would not harm them. ❜
❛ The desert takes the weak. ❜
❛ A hostage? I love it. ❜
❛ I have to tell you, I’ve never come so close to dying. ❜
❛ I respect the personal dignity of any man that respects mine. ❜
❛ Name what you want. If it’s in my power to grant I’ll give it and ask for nothing. ❜
❛ Why don’t you stay. We would honor you. ❜
❛ Honor requires that I be elsewhere. ❜
❛ You wait till you see it. It’s beautiful out there. ❜
❛ We won’t make it. You have to evacuate. ❜
❛ It’s getting close, guys. We better abandon the ship now. ❜
❛ There is protocol for a reason, if we take one step out we’re as good as dead. ❜
❛ I recognize your footsteps. ❜
❛ What’s wrong with you? Come on. Let’s go. ❜
❛ You cannot take such risks. You do have responsibilities. ❜
❛ We’ve been set up to fail. ❜
❛ Take good care of your family. ❜
❛ The desert’s not kind to humans either. ❜
❛ I had a vision. My eyes were wide open. ❜
❛ I thought I saw my death, only it wasn’t. ❜
❛ I know you’re pregnant. ❜
❛ Anyone who defies us will fall. ❜
❛ There’s something you need to know about [name]. ❜
❛ I trusted you completely, even when you walked in shadows. Now I’m asking you this one thing. ❜
❛ If anything happens will you protect our son? ❜
❛ Why are you having these thoughts? ❜
❛ I thought we’d have more time. ❜
❛ I should have married you. ❜
❛ I will do what I can. And you will kill a man for me. ❜
❛ Why not just cut their throats? ❜
❛ Don’t you dare touch my mother. ❜
❛ For hundreds of years we’ve traded blood for blood. But no more. ❜
❛ Here I am, here I remain! ❜
❛ It’s not safe for you here. ❜
❛ I am commanded to say nothing, to see nothing. ❜
❛ The Emperor sent us here to die. ❜
❛ You’re scared. I can see it. Tell me, please, what do you fear? ❜
❛ Somebody help me, please. ❜
❛ You know who you are. ❜
❛ Get off me! You did this to me! ❜
❛ It’s recycled water from the tent. Sweat and tears. ❜
❛ Yet you risk your life to help us. ❜
❛ The storm will be here in a few hours. We’ll be safe here. ❜
❛ Would you bear witness? ❜
❛ You’d make a play for the throne? ❜
❛ He brought you here to kill you. ❜
❛ You’re a lost boy hiding in a hole in the ground. ❜
❛ I’ve seen your dream. ❜
❛ We have to go. We have no choice. ❜
❛ You’re not coming with us? ❜
❛ The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve. But a reality to experience. ❜
❛ Nothing survives such a storm. ❜
❛ Don’t be frightened. Even a little desert mouse can survive. ❜
❛ You’ll need to face your fears. ❜
❛ You have much to learn. And I will show you the ways of the desert. ❜
❛ I think this is the right direction. ❜
❛ Do not run. You will only waste your bodies water. ❜
❛ We have powerful friends. You help us off world, you will be well rewarded. ❜
❛ What wealth can you offer beyond the water in your flesh. ❜
❛ Why didn’t you say you were a weirding woman and a fighter? ❜
❛ I would not have let you hurt my friends. ❜
❛ You talk like a leader, but the strongest leads. ❜
❛ Don’t be frightened. Don’t resist. ❜
❛ When you take a life, you take your own. ❜
❛ I want you to die with honor. ❜
❛ You should welcome my blade. This world will kill you. Quicker this way. ❜
❛ There is no yielding under the Amtal rule, only death is the test of that. ❜
❛ [name] has never killed a man. ❜
❛ You’re one of us now. A life for a life. ❜
❛ [name] needs to get off world. You must have ways. You have smugglers, you have ships. ❜
❛ My road leads into the desert. ❜
❛ If you’ll have us, we will come. ❜
❛ This is only the beginning. ❜
