Quotes
-
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Consider what you are about to do, Paul Atreides...
Paul Atreides : [using the Voice] SILENCE!
[the force knocks the Reverend Mother into other Bene Gesserit]
Reverend Mother Mohiam : [fearfully] Abomination.
-
Princess Irulan : Muad'Dib. The prophet? The one who points the way. These are our own religious patterns aren't they. This is our doing. Muad'Dib... means kangaroo mouse. An unusual warname for a Fremen. What if Paul Atreides were still alive?
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Enough. This must not come out. Even to your father's ears, do you understand?
Princess Irulan : I do, Reverend Mother.
Reverend Mother Mohiam : If Paul is alive he likely knows the truth. And should the great houses learn that your father was behind the liquidation of the Atreides, your father will face war and lose the throne.
Princess Irulan : Then what hope is there?
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Hope? We are Bene Gesserit. We don't hope, we plan. Paul is not our only prospect. The Baron's youngest nephew Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen will inherit Arrakis. He may be the answer.
Princess Irulan : Feyd-Rautha? He's psychotic.
Reverend Mother Mohiam : That's irrelevant. The question is: can we control him? And I intend to find out.
-
Jessica : [conversing through telepathy] You should have believed. You chose the wrong side.
Reverend Mother Mohiam : "Side?" You of all people should know, there are no sides... Reverend Mother.
-
Emperor Shaddam IV : Muad'Dib. Some new Fremen prophet.
Princess Irulan : It's not the first time we've had frictions with the Fremen.
Emperor Shaddam IV : None of this magnitude. So, my dear daughter... how would you deal with this prophet?
Princess Irulan : If this Muad'Dib is a religious figure, you can't use direct force. Repression only makes a religion flourish. You'll only end up humiliating yourself.
Emperor Shaddam IV : You underestimate my Sardaukar.
Princess Irulan : *You* underestimate the power of faith.
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Her Highness proves once again that she was my most acute student.
Emperor Shaddam IV : Send assassins.
Princess Irulan : No, prophets get stronger when they die. Let the conflict on Arrakis turn into war, you then bring peace, as a savior.
Emperor Shaddam IV : You'll be a formidable empress.
-
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Desire and humiliation. Those are his levers. If Feyd-Rautha prevails on Arrakis, we shall know how to control him.
-
Lady Margot Fenring : [Describing Feyd] A sociopath. Of high intelligence. Driven. Cruel. But strongly motivated by honor. He yearns to be hurt. He loves pain.
[Lady Margot Fenring]
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Can he be redeemed?
Lady Margot Fenring : He can be controlled. He's sexually vulnerable.
Reverend Mother Mohiam : And?
Lady Margot Fenring : [Hands on her belly] The bloodline is secured. Female, as you requested.
-
Lady Margot Fenring : [on Feyd-Rautha] Respectfully, why didn't you test him yourself?
Reverend Mother Mohiam : I'm a motherly figure. And based on what happened between him and his own mother, I didn't expect to be effective.
Princess Irulan : What happened between him and his mother?
Lady Margot Fenring : He murdered her.
Reverend Mother Mohiam : Desire and humiliation. Those are his levers. If Feyd-Rautha prevails on Arrakis, we shall know how to control him.
