Quotes
-
Thufir Hawat : Now, remember, the first step in avoiding a *trap* - is knowing of its existence.
Paul : I know. But, if it is a trap, then why are we going?
Thufir Hawat : We have our new Army. Dr. Yueh, put the weirding module on him.
[Thufir holds Paul's shoulders admiringly, then playfully mimes stabbing him in the side of the neck]
-
Paul : The Harkonnens are our enemy. Yes. But, behind them I suspect is the Emperor.
Thufir Hawat : You will make a formidable Duke!
-
Thufir Hawat : Sector six through eighty progress reports, Sire.
Duke Leto Atreides : Take it, Thufir.
Thufir Hawat : [speaking rapidly into a communications device] Sector six-eighty, copy the sixth the sum of the eighth quadrant of the ninth plus eight-four circles weave the eighth quarter the fourth, copy!
[the device hums briefly]
Thufir Hawat : [to the communication device] Eight! Thufir Hawat, Mentant, Master of Assassins.
Thufir Hawat : [to the Duke] The palace is now secure.
-
Paul : [sees Thufir] My God.
[inner voice]
Paul : They've taken your mind.
[out loud]
Paul : Gurney, I see Thufir Hawat among the captives. Let him stand free.
Feyd-Rautha : [turns towards Thufir] The antidote.
[he slips a knife inside Thufir's sleeve]
Gurney Halleck : Thufir, come.
Paul : In payment of the many years of service to my family, you may ask me of anything you wish. Do you need my life, old friend? It is yours.
[turns around]
Paul : I mean this Thufir, if you are to strike, do it now.
Thufir Hawat : [raises knife, to everyone's shock, but drops it and turns back to Feyd] Did you truly believe, even for a moment, that I would fail my Duke TWICE?
[He rips out his own heart plug, then collapses into Paul's arms]
Thufir Hawat : Three generations of... you...
[he dies]
Paul : Carry this noble Atreides warrior away. Do him all honor.
-
Paul : I know, Thufir, I'm sitting with my back to the door. I heard you, Dr. Yueh and Gurney coming down the hall.
Thufir Hawat : Those sounds could be imitated!
Paul : [Looks around and sees he was right] I'd know the difference.
Thufir Hawat : [voice over] Yes, perhaps he would at that.
-
Thufir Hawat : My lord?
Duke Leto Atreides : Thufir, haven't you heard from Duncan Idaho yet?
Thufir Hawat : No sire. I have, however, discovered what the city Freemen called out to Paul when we entered the city.
Duke Leto Atreides : Mahdi... And Lisan al Ghaeeb. Yes.
Thufir Hawat : It is a prophecy that a young leader will come to them with a Bene Gesserit mother. It follows the familiar messiah pattern.
Duke Leto Atreides : But Mahdi?
Thufir Hawat : Yes. It seems it is written that he will lead them to true freedom.
-
Feyd-Rautha : All I see is an Atreides I want to kill.
Baron Harkonnen : Come, Feyd, Thufir's a Harkonnen now. Aren't you Thufir?
Thufir Hawat : [voice over] Oh, my Duke, how I've failed you.
-
Thufir Hawat : [seating himself on a bench along the training room wall] Activate a fighter.
-
Thufir Hawat : We're finding these sabotage-devices too easily.
