Duke Leto Atreides: I'll miss the sea, but a person needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Paul: The Worm is the Spice! The Spice is the Worm.
Stilgar: You have strength. You shall be known as Usual - which is the strength of the base of the pillar. This is your secret name in our troop. But, you must choose the name of manhood, which we will call you openly.
Paul: What do you call the mouse shadow in the second moon?
Stilgar: We call that one Muad'Dib.
Paul: Could I be known as Paul Muad'Dib?
Stilgar: You are Paul Muad'Dib.
Paul: This is part of the weirding way that we will teach you. Some thoughts have a certain sound, that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs. We will kill until no Harkonnen breathes Arrakeen air.
Piter De Vries: As you instructed me, I have enlightened your nephews concerning my plan.
Baron Harkonnen: My plan.
Piter De Vries: ...the plan... to crush the Atreides.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Do you know of the Water of Life? The bile from the ill-borne worms of Arrakis?
Paul: I have heard of it.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: It's very dangerous. The Bene Gesserit sisterhood would use it to see - within. There is a place - terrifying to us. To women. It is said: a man will come, the Kwisatz Haderach. He will go where we can not. Many men have tried.
Paul: They tried and failed?
Reverend Mother Mohiam: They tried and died.
Paul: Stilgar, do we have wormsign?
Stilgar: Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen.
Paul: Long live the fighters.
Duke Leto Atreides: I'll miss the sea. But a man needs new experiences. They jar something deep inside, allowing him to grow. Without change, something sleeps inside of us and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.
Gurney Halleck: Behold, as a wild ass in the desert, go I forth to my work.
Paul: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will let it pass over me and through me. And when it has passed I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where it has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Reverend Mother Mohiam: I hold at your neck a Gom Jabbar. This one kills only animals.
Paul: Are you suggesting the Duke's son is an animal?
Reverend Mother Mohiam: Let us say, I suggest you may be human. Your awareness may be powerful enough to control your instincts. Your instinct will be to remove your hand from the box. If you do so, you die.
Gurney Halleck: Shield Practice.
Paul: Shield Practice? Gurney, we had practice this morning. I'm not in the mood.
Gurney Halleck: Not in the mood? Mood's a thing for cattle and loveplay, not fighting.
Paul: I'm sorry Gurney.
Gurney Halleck: Not sorry enough.
Guild Navigator: We ourselves perceive a slight problem within House Atreides. Paul, Paul Atreides.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: You mean of course Duke Leto Atreides, his father?
Guild Navigator: I mean Paul Atreides. We want him killed. I did not say this. I am not here.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV: I understand.
Piter De Vries: I imagined many pleasures with you. It is better perhaps that you die in the innards of a Worm.
Paul: My name has become a killing word.
Spice Worker: Sire, we can't leave all this Spice.
Duke Leto Atreides: Damn the Spice! Get out of there.
Paul: I'm dead to everyone unless I become what I may be.
Chani: Tell me of your homeworld, Usul.
Paul: Father... father, the sleeper has awakened.
Answer: Because it was edited in a way he didn't approve of. The film was actually over 3 hours long, and it was trimmed by about an hour for the cinema version, and then a certain amount of pick and mix went on to come up with the video version.
