Paul Atreides
- Paul Atreides: [From trailer] Dad, what if I'm not the future of House Atreides?
- Duke Leto Atreides: A great man doesn't seek to lead; he is called to it. But if your answer is no, you'd still be the only thing I ever needed you to be: my son.
- [from teaser trailer]
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: The test is simple. Remove your hand from the box, and you die.
- Paul Atreides: What's in the box?
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: Pain.
- Paul Atreides: [to Stilgar] My father came, not for spice, not for the riches, but for the strength of your people. My road leads into the desert. I can see it. If you'll have us, we will come.
- Paul Atreides: [while having a vision] That's the future. It's coming. Holy war spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire.
- Lady Jessica Atreides: Paul, you're scared. I can see it. Tell me, please, what do you fear?
- Paul Atreides: Somebody help me, please.
- Lady Jessica Atreides: Paul.
- Paul Atreides: It's coming. I see a holy war spreading across the universe like unquenchable fire. A warrior religion that waves the Atreides banner in my father's name.
- Lady Jessica Atreides: Paul.
- Paul Atreides: Fanatical legions worshipping at the shrine of my father's skull. A war in my name. Everyone shouting my name!
- [Paul is to practice fencing with Gurney]
- Paul Atreides: I guess I'm not in the mood today.
- Gurney Halleck: Mood? What's mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises, no matter the mood. Now fight!
- [the two begin fighting, and Paul eventually puts his blade to Gurney's throat]
- Gurney Halleck: I see you found the mood.
- Paul Atreides: There's something happening to me. Something waking up in my mind. I can't control it.
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: What did you see?
- Paul Atreides: There's a crusade coming.
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: You've proven you can rule yourself. Now you must learn to rule others, something none of your ancestors learnt.
- Paul Atreides: My father rules an entire planet.
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: He's losing it.
- Paul Atreides: He's getting a richer one.
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: He'll lose that one too.
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: Like sifting sand through a screen, we sift people. If you had been unable to control your impulses like an animal, we could not have let you live. You inherit too much power.
- Paul Atreides: What, because I'm a Duke's son?
- Gaius Helen Mohiam: Because you are Jessica's son. You have more than one birthright, boy.
- Liet Kynes: Your desert boots, they're fitted slip-fashion at the ankles. Who taught you to do that?
- Paul Atreides: It seemed the right way.
- Liet Kynes: He shall know your ways as if born into them...
- Lady Jessica Atreides: You don't know everything. For thousands of years, we've been carefully crossing bloodlines to bring forth...
- Paul Atreides: The One?
- Lady Jessica Atreides: A mind - powerful enough to bridge space and time, past and future - who can help us into a better future. We think he's very close now. Some believe he is here.
- Paul Atreides: Suppose I presented the Emperor with an alternative to chaos. And the Emperor has no sons, and his daughters are yet to marry.
- Liet Kynes: You'd make a play for the throne? The Emperor feared the Atreides. He brought you here to kill you. What don't you understand? You're a lost boy hiding in a hole in the ground.
