Alia: "I heard about your little stunt in the desert…" Leto II: "Well, I prefer to think of it as expert flying, but carry on..." Alia: *sarcastically* "-- - with your encouragement, of course." Ghanima: "Our father's memories are very instructive." Alia: "Well, I suppose I should be grateful I don't have to tell your grandmother you were lost to a worm before she was supposed to see you." Ghanima: "That would have been an unpleasant task, wouldn't it?" Alia: "Hm… it's rumoured my mother has resumed her allegiance to the Bene Gesserit, and you both know what the Sisterhood thinks of those of us who are pre-born." Leto II: "-- - and you want us to pretend to be something we're not?" Alia: "I expect you to protect yourselves. No more talk of your father's memories, or his spirit, do you understand me?" Ghanima: "Surely one can distinguish between being pre-born.." Leto II: "-- - and being possessed?" Alia: "For some that's a distinction without a difference, and for us that's dangerous." Ghanima: "But what if she's simply coming as 'mother'…? As ‘grandmother'? And not as ‘Bene Gesserit inquisitor’." Leto II: "You share her memories, Alia, surely her motives can't be that complex?" Alia: "If my mother wasn't that complex, neither of you would be here. She would never have betrayed her training… she would never have had a son. I would have been her first born, not your father… and none of this would have happened. I warn you, enemies often appear as angels. I hope you two can tell the difference."
*The Regent Alia walks away*
Ghanima: "We're going to lose her." Leto II: "No, we already have."
