Keep an eye out.

Quickly! Quick-quick!
TRANSLATION

Take your positions.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
We must leave.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
All that water: Lost!
STILGAR
She is not fit for the desert!
SENTINELS LEADER
You’re not welcome here.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Sietch Tabr.
TRANSLATION
GROUP
What are they doing here? WITCH! SPIES! Leave them to the desert! IMPOSTOR! Mahdi! Are you the Lisan al-Gaib?
CHANI
You heard Stilgar. Move.
TRANSLATION
ALPHA CHILD
He’s no Mahdi!
TRANSLATION
PAUL
Why should I be?
TRANSLATION
WATERMASTER
Who killed Jamis?
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
He did.
TRANSLATION
CHANI
This has to be done as soon as possible otherwise we lose much of
the water.
WATERMASTER
Jamis’s body yields thirty-three liters and seven drachms of water.
Yours by right.
CHANI
Jamis’ water is yours. But your water is ours.
STILGAR
Stay with them.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
That outsider patrol was too close. We need to engage them further
north. Lure them away.
FEMALE ELDER
You have our blessing, Stilgar. Attack the enemy further north.
STILGAR
I need your guidance with the two foreigners.
FEMALE ELDER
Give them back to the desert.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
I saw the signs.
TRANSLATION
FEMALE ELDER
Again.
TRANSLATION
OLDEST ELDER
Stilgar, how many times have you seen the signs? Your faith is
playing tricks on you.
FEMALE ELDER
The Lisan al-Gaib has not shown his face yet! Ha, ha, ha! Not yet!
STILGAR
He killed Jamis in a fair fight. He speaks our language. He will
quickly learn our ways. I’m ready to pledge my life for him.
OLDEST ELDER
He’s no Fremen.
TRANSLATION
OLDEST ELDER
But if you are so blind as to think otherwise...
OLDEST ELDER
He may live... For as long as the desert allows.
FEMALE ELDER
The desert will handle his fate. That’s good.
OLDEST ELDER
What about the woman?
TRANSLATION
SHISHAKLI
Too spicy for the foreigner?
TRANSLATION
CHANI
Don’t mock him. He deserves our respect. He’s a good fighter.
NUN
Sayyadina, do you accept her heritage?
SHISHAKLI
Amen!
TRANSLATION
SHISHAKLI
She’ll drink worm piss!
TRANSLATION
CHANI
Not funny. He’s about to lose her.
SHISHAKLI
If she’s stupid enough to drink that poison that’s not our problem.
STILGAR
Shut up! We’re praying.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Let’s pray together.
TRANSLATION
OLD WATERMASTER
Here is the Water of Life, which frees the soul.
OLD WATERMASTER
If you drink, you shall die. If you drink, you may see.
NUN
Drink!
TRANSLATION
OLD WATERMASTER
This is the Agony.
TRANSLATION
REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO
What have we done?
TRANSLATION
REVEREND MOTHER RAMALLO
She is pregnant!
TRANSLATION
OLD WATERMASTER
She did it. She changed the Holy Poison into water!
STILGAR
As written!
TRANSLATION
OLD WATERMASTER (CONT'D)
It is safe now. You can drink it.
STILGAR
Mahdi.
TRANSLATION
CHANI
That was no miracle!
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
You saw it with your OWN EYES! “The Mother shall give the water to
the Son”! And she did it! As written!
CHANI
Her people wrote that!
STILGAR
Blasphemy! The prophecy has been accomplished! He is the One.
SHISHAKLI
The Mahdi must be Fremen!
TRANSLATION
CHANI
Arrakis must be freed by its own people!
PAUL
I’m here to learn your ways.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Kwisatz Haderach, show us the way!
ALTERNATE PRONUNCIATION JESSICA
Kwisatz Haderach, show us the way!
JESSICA
YOU WILL SEE! THE BEAUTY AND THE HORROR!
SHISHAKLI
Muad’Dib likes his smell! Ha, ha, ha!
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
You saw what he did. He saw it coming--and he saved her life. He saw
it! He can foresee.
PAUL
Then I’ll die. Maybe you will, too. But the others will keep going.
And they won’t stop until the Fremen are free.
SHISHAKLI
He deserves to be Fedaykin!
TRANSLATION
A FEDAYKIN
He needs names, Stilgar!
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
He does.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Like Usul, the strength beneath the base of a pillar.
CHANI
Sihaya.
TRANSLATION
SHISHAKLI
Sun be kind to Muad’Dib!
TRANSLATION
FEDAYKIN
Today is the day! Muad’Dib! Be strong!
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Muad’Dib! Don’t embarrass us! Call a big one!
SHISHAKLI
Don’t worry. Stilgar taught him well.
FREMEN
MUAD’DIB! YEAAAAAH!!!
TRANSLATION
A FEDAYKIN
Muad’Dib show us the way!
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
As written.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Whoa!
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Not that big!
TRANSLATION
YOUNG NUN
Reverend Mother.
TRANSLATION
YOUNG NUN
Muad’Dib finally made peace with Shai-Hulud!
DEVOTEES
Bi-lal kaifa!!!
TRANSLATION
YOUNG NUN
He called a grandfather worm. The biggest anyone’s ever seen.
DEVOTEES
As written!
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Shai-Hulud knows the coming of the storm.
DEVOTEES
Bless the Maker and his works.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Will not Shai-Hulud know the Mahdi when he comes?
JESSICA
Then share the words!
TRANSLATION
NUN
Is everything all right, Reverend Mother?
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
She heard the news.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Enough for today. Go now.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Leave us.
TRANSLATION
CHANI
Will you always be with me?
FREMEN FIGHTER
Stop the fight!
TRANSLATION
SHISHAKLI
What do you think of him?
SHISHAKLI
I think he’s trouble.
TRANSLATION
CHANI
He’s too fat!
TRANSLATION
PILGRIM
Will He come?
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
If He comes, you must welcome Him.
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
Only one at a time. Otherwise they fight each other to death.
JESSICA
How old?
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
Very young.
TRANSLATION
ALIA
Baby worm!
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
How is it done?
ALIA
What is she doing?
MAKER KEEPER
The Water of Life.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Listen carefully. Soon, a man will visit your Temple. He may want you to perform the rite.
JESSICA (OPTION 1)
Listen carefully. A man is going to arrive--
TRANSLATION
JESSICA (OPTION 2)
Listen carefully. When he arrives, he may--
MAKER KEEPER
No, I can’t perform the rite.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
You question the prophecy?
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
Many men tried--all have died.
MAKER KEEPER
He won’t survive.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Let him try.
TRANSLATION
OLD WOMAN
I lost them all in the fire.
SHISHAKLI
All Northern Sietches have been hit. There is a call for a war council in the south. Muad’Dib. They’re waiting for you.
SHISHAKLI
You can’t stay here Muad’Dib! None of these people will leave if you don’t leave!
PAUL
I CAN’T GO SOUTH!
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
You’re not allowed in here, stranger. Leave or die.
PAUL
I should be welcomed.
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
If you are the One--
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
God is waiting for you.
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
If you drink, you shall die. If you drink, you may see.
JESSICA
Who knows about this?
TRANSLATION
MAKER KEEPER
Only you, Reverend Mother.
TRANSLATION
JESSICA
Good. What do you make of it?
TRANSLATION
FEDAYKIN
He is in a sacred trance, gathering his holy powers before the final battle.
JESSICA
Amen.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
Because he’s the One. The Lisan al-Gaib should find his way to where no man has ever been.
CHANI
You’re insane.
TRANSLATION
STILGAR
He shall come back from the dead with Desert Spring tears.
CHANI
Bring me a drop of Water of Life.
STILGAR
As written.
TRANSLATION
PAUL
Do you smash a knife before going to BATTLE?
TRANSLATION
PAUL
There is no one in this room who can stand against me.
PAUL
Your mothers warned you about my coming. Fear the moment.
PAUL (CONT'D)
You think you could have a chance.
PAUL (CONT'D)
But you’re afraid: What if he could be the One? This could be the moment you’ve been waiting for all your life. You’re praying now--to your grandmother--who passed away nine moons ago. She lost an eye. A rock had smashed her face as she was crossing the Belt. She was twelve when it happened. At that time, this world had a Fremen name--Dune.
HUGE FIGHTER
Lisan al-Gaib!
TRANSLATION
PAUL
In your nightmares, you give water to the dead. And it brings joy to your heart.
PAUL
Green Paradise.
TRANSLATION
PAUL
The Hand of God be my witness, I am the Voice from the Outer World. I will lead you to PARADISE.
ALL FREMEN
LISAN AL-GAIB!
TRANSLATION
SHISHAKLI
A mighty one, Muad’Dib! A great grandmother of a storm.
TRANSLATION
CHANI
Let’s free Dune.
TRANSLATION
PAUL/WHOLE FREMEN ARMY
LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!!!
TRANSLATION
PAUL
Bring the prisoners to the Residency. Kill the Sardaukar. Give the Baron’s body to the desert.
STILGAR
Yes, Muad’Dib.
TRANSLATION
ALL FEDAYKIN
LISAN AL-GAIB!!!!
TRANSLATION
CHANI
He doesn’t know how to cross! Stilgar is going to get him killed. What is he trying to prove?
SHISHAKLI
What do you think?
TRANSLATION
SHISHAKLI
He shall know the ways of the desert. I think it’s all for the best. (off Chani’s look) What? You care for him now?
TRANSLATION
CHANI
He’s not like the other strangers. I feel he’s sincere.
