Hard at work, Son?
Not very hard, Everything's so...
Yes. Tomorrow we leave. It'll be good to get settled in our new home, put all this upset behind.
Father,will Arrakis be as dangerous as everyone says?
It'll be dangerous.
Hawat tells me we have a plan for the Fremen.
As always, Hawat sees the main chance. But there's much more. I see also the Combine Honnete Ober Advancer Mercantiles—the CHOAM Company.
Here we are!
I thought you might have lost yourself in this hideous place.
It is a cold house. The whole city feels cold.
It's a dirty, dusty little garrison town, But we'll change that.
These are public rooms for state occasions. I've just glanced at some of the family apartments in the south wing. They're much nicer.
Where's Paul?
Someplace around the house taking his lessons with Yueh.
Probably in the south wing, I thought I heard Yueh's voice, but I couldn't take time to look. I came here only to hang the key of Caladan Castle in the dining hall.
I saw our banner over the house as we came in.
Where were you going to hang that?
Somewhere in here.
No.
My Lord, if you'd only...
The answer remains no. I indulge you shamefully in most things, not in this. I've just come from the dining hall where there are—
My Lord! Please.
The choice is between your digestion and my ancestral dignity, my dear. They will hang in the dining hall.
You may resume your custom of dining in your rooms whenever possible. I shall expect you at your proper position only on formal occasions.
Thank you, my Lord.
And don't go all cold and formal on me! Be thankful that I never married you, my dear. Then it'd be your duty to join me at table for every meal.
Hawat already has our own poison snooper over the dining table. There's a portable in your room.
You anticipated this... disagreement.
My dear, I think also of your comfort. I've engaged servants. They're locals, but Hawat has cleared them—they're Fremen all. They'll do until our own people can be released from their other duties.
Good afternoon. Dr. Yueh, Where's Paul?
Your son grew tired, Jessica. I sent him into the next room to rest. Forgive me, my Lady! My thoughts were far away...... I did not mean to be familiar.
Wellington , please.
To use your name like that......
We've known each other six years,It's long past time formalities should've been dropped between us—in private.
I'm afraid I was woolgathering, he said. Whenever... . feel especially sorry for you. I'm afraid I think of you as... well, Jessica.
Sorry for me? Whatever for?
