    [out loud]

    Paul: Gurney, I see Thufir Hawat among the captives. Let him stand free.

    [he slips a knife inside Thufir's sleeve]

    Gurney Halleck: Thufir, come.

    [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?

    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.
