...
PAUL
Now, I will tell you how it will be.
Irulan shall be my wife, opening the way
for an Atreides to take the throne.
EMPEROR
I sit on the throne!!
PAUL
You will sit on a throne on Selusa
Secundus, your prison planet. Either that
or you will die.
The Emperor is still. Paul moves to Chani.
PAUL (CONT'D)
(to Chani)
The Princess shall have no more of me than
my name... no child of mine or touch the
softness of glance... nor instant of
desire.... This is my promise to you...
(whispering)
...my love.
Paul turns back to the others.
Jessica turns to Chani and whispers to her.
JESSICA
Think on it Chani... We who carry the name
of concubine... history will call us
wives.

But Zendaya was like Aw Hell Naw
-
Considering that Irulan later really does fall in love with Paul this is more tragic than one might think, especially given what it leads to in later books.
-
Shame this got cut out, really brings forth Paul's devotion to Chani.
-
So he's going to screw the royal family, By not screwing the royal family. That's what I call a pro gamer move.
-
Good lord Kyle is GORGEOUS!!
-
PAUL: The Princess will have no more of me then my name, plus my money, plus my palace and everything within that palace. You, you will be my baby-mama. This, I will promise you.
-
tried that with my girlfriend neither her or my wife where having any of it . very unreasonable pair .
-
They left that pivotal line "History will call us wives." out of this movie, but thankfully kept it in the first miniseries.
-
Someone needs to digitally remaster this and re-release a full extended version.
-
You don't know who to feel sorry for. Irulan for what her life is about to become as little more than a hostage or Jessica and Chani with their delusions. Every chapter of Dune and the movie is introduced by Irulan, she is the historian. She is going to write the history and you can be sure Jessica's wish will not come true. No one remembers mistresses
-
Poor Zendaya’s Chani.
-
Sean Young was approximately 27x more attractive than Zendaya
-
So many beautiful actresses in one movie! All rarely ever so radiant again as in Dune. Princess Irulan to her credit supports Paul & Chani fully-- what a dame!
-
Great camera-work and sound design. Shame the scene got cut. Those high-brow dialogues really come to life with those ultra sensitive microphones used by Lynch here and most of his other movies.
-
“Irulan will be my wife” Irulan in 1984: 😐 Irulan in 2000: 🥰
-
You take Chani to the local nightclub but Irulan to the BALL.
-
Oh my god they're so touching together! I cry each time I see that, so romantic, sensitive expression of Sean, never seen other so perfect except maybe in the late 30's movies, a candid beautiful face of fairy queen...
-
Poor Irulan. Treated like shit her entire life.
-
"Irulan shall be my wife" Best proposal ever
-
Honestly I feel equally bad for the three of them Paul, Chani, Irulan for different reasons. 😢
