Reverend Mother Mohiam : [DELETED LINE] Silence him, Jessica!
Lady Jessica : [DELETED LINE] Silence him yourself, if you can.
Paul : [DELETED LINE] For ninety generations you and your Bene Gesserit have labored in secret to produce a living, breathing super-weapon... one that would empower you to overthrow both the Guild and the Emperor.
