Jonathan Bruun: Farad'n Corrino

Quotes 

• Ghanima : He runs and runs and runs. And when he's exhausted himself, he returns to me, puts his head in my lap and asks me to help him find a way to die.

  Farad'n Corrino : But why does he want to die?

  Ghanima : To save himself from the sacrifices he must make, sacrifices for the future of us all

  Farad'n Corrino : Then there is a place for me in this future?

  Ghanima : Your blood was spared the day Leto came back to me.

  Farad'n Corrino : What of our marriage then?

  Ghanima : [Ghani turns around]  As my mother was not wife, you shall never be husband.

  Farad'n Corrino : Politics.

  Ghanima : Politics. But in time, there my be love, which is more then my brother will have.

  [Ghani looks out into the desert] 

  Ghanima : One of us had to accept the agony. He was always the stronger. History is written on the sands of Arrakis. A chapter has ended, swept away by the whirlwind. One door has closed but another has opened and on the other side... our future.

• Wensicia : You insolent bastard!

  Farad'n Corrino : Let's not discuss your weaknesses now, mother.

• Lady Jessica Atreides : I could have killed you.

  Farad'n Corrino : It wouldn't have been that easy.

  [he slips away] 

  Farad'n Corrino : ...I didn't truly think it was possible, and then my mind melted away. I gave up fighting you, and it happened.

  Lady Jessica Atreides : It wasn't me you were fighting.

  Farad'n Corrino : It was myself. All that I've learned, all the nonsense I've imprisoned myself with - I feel... I feel like I'm being reborn, like I'm standing on the threshold of something extraordinary.

  Lady Jessica Atreides : Para-Bindu balance, Farad'n. But only on the threshold.

  Farad'n Corrino : [chuckles]  Patience?

  Lady Jessica Atreides : Yes, patience. Remember, it's one thing to gain control of your perceptions, quite another to gain control of your desires.

  Farad'n Corrino : And if I succeed?

  Lady Jessica Atreides : You'll find reality to be quite a bit different than you thought.
