Alejandro Jodorowsky: if it wasn't for my Dune, there would be no Alien franchise...

the year 10,191: just to make sure...

Patrick Stewart: it's weird having Picard be an underling. snorting Spice is a way better way to interstellar travel than the transporter aboard a starship, one hit and you've traveled light years!!! these aren't lightsabers, these knives will inflict a Tron cube on your opponent...

Codrus: the Bene Gesserit, now THOSE are hot nuns!!!

Francesca Annis drinking orange juice: you see, this is the crux of life, which is hard, when you get older it's almost impossible to find a life partner again. if i find one, it's for the BETTER to share your life with someone.
me: THANK YOU!!! FINALLY someone speaks the truth!!! you can't live this life alone!!! the whole You Are Enough thing is bollocks!!!
Mandisa: i speak truth about life the way Anthony Bourdain did. Christianity is not a strong enough shield. it's not easy to go back once God has betrayed you. you are so scared that it's all just nothing, terrified of that thought, that nihilistic notion, you don't want to go there. but in the back of your mind.........this is real talk, people. real life, folks.

Reverend Mother: why'd you bear a son instead of a daughter?
Francesca: the sex with his father was EXTRA kinky, i couldn't help it. we used '70s beads in space. don't worry, he'll star in The Bear and be loved by the next generation of daughters.

Reverend Mother: ready for the test?
Paul Atreides: yes.
Reverend Mother: stick your hand in my box.
Lorne Michaels: it's not the SNL box with the dick.
Paul: is this the lion coin thing? are you old Audrey Hepburn?
Audrey Hepburn: i never got old...
Reverend Mother: your hand is being melted off by nuclear waste. your hand is being cut off by Jackie Chan.
Paul: nah, Jackie Chan is too nice for that. 
Reverend Mother: where is your hand now?
Paul: it's with the cut ear David Lynch has in his trailer.

Reverend Mother: it's all in your head.
Paul: that makes sense, Kwisatz Haderach can't be a real thing.

giant sandworms: where's Michael Gross? we're obviously metaphors for wanting a big penis but not having a big penis. are we one with the Spice? we ARE the Spice!!! we're Spice Worms. not to be confused with the Spice Girls...
King Kong: did i kill you worms, too?...

Paul: yeah so the stillsuit here, you can survive in the desert for 200 years if you drink your own pee through this tube.
Fremen leader: THIS PROVES HE'S OUR MESSIAH!!!

Paul: you're cute. i've seen you in my dream.
Sean Young: nice line, you got game. i bet you say that to all the girls. i'm Chani the chola and i'm into Fremen firemen.
Paul: why are your eyes blue?
Sean Young: i drank a lot of Windex as a kid. Puck was my younger brother. i was in EVERY risky sci-fi venture of the early '80s...

Duncan Idaho: are you filming this on a potato? expensive cheap-looking space sets. i need the Toto beard to cover up my John Davidson face...

Boc: what a disgusting display having the symbol of gayness and AIDS in the '80s be this repulsive villain with pustules all over his face. the nonchalant sexual assault on screen is shocking.
Baron Harkonnen: can anybody here recommend a good acne cream?
Snake from Degrassi: ...
Baron Harkonnen: why am i the only person in this universe who can float?...

Baron Harkonnen: these aren't harsh conditions, i was on the Rhoda set...

Brad Dourif: i have triangle hair, i look like a Rocky Horror reject...
Brad Dourif: Piter De Vries, my son was on Star Trek: The Next Generation...
Mentat: like gum.
Roger Eno: i'm a monk now...

Sting: like my codpiece? you thought i'd be wearing this same codpiece during my climactic battle with Paul at the end, huh? everyone was disappointed about that...

Linda Hunt: yeah these spies are the same Star Wars flying balls, not the Spaceballs balls.
Paul: you have a creepy crone look. like you're the matriarch of a bunch of dwarfs.
Linda: that's what all nuns are, double agents. we hunt space magicks.
Doryce: Paul you are the young man of my dreams but you are unattainable...

Woody Allen: weirding module, so it's a sex machine, a sex booth...

Jared Leto: has anyone seen Leto? wait i'm in the wrong movie...
Sean Young: i know, this is confusing, right?...

Paul's dad: come closer, Baron, i want to kiss your angelic lips with my German mouth.
Baron Harkonnen: your breath stinks. and you want to be a dentist? pipe dream, tell your folks. i feel PINK and stink, alive at five, like a TMNT villain. clever, putting a bomb in a tooth...

Paul and Francesca spelunking down the endless caves...
Francesca: this is getting Oedipal...
Paul: do you find me attractive, mom?
Francesca: maybe when you looked like Cillian Murphy...

sietch: a community stitched together by ideas, not color.
Paul: i am Muad'Dib for i enjoy doing Mad Libs with my pencil. i get first dibs at Bea Arthur. 
Bea Arthur: maybe when you looked like Frank Sinatra. or Pee-wee Herman.
Trent Reznor: ...
Trent Reznor: i liked Dorothy's ex-husband Stanley.

Francesca: so you're saying if i drink this Fiji Water childbirth will be a breeze from now on and i'll get Terrence Malick for a husband, a husband who will BE THERE for me!!! and the kids. 
Alia: my cat is Talia...
pug: so my name is Daryl. i'm meant to show the Atreides family as Renaissance rulers from space. Space Europe. they traded space kingdoms for a pack of Garbage Pail Kids cards. can a dog get some Fiji Water?...

sandworms: Spice is our poo.
Paul: in keeping with the stillsuits...

Chani: how did you come to our desert planet?
Paul: i slept with Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" playing in my mind...
Chani: is there any way off this desert planet? i'm not wearing the Leia chains...
Paul: trip on shrooms whilst eating Golden Grahams cereal. i started mind-traveling after eating pickles and before i knew it one of the Dune characters was a giant pickle in a jar...
dad: this Dune 1984 film takes me back to reading sci-fi paperbacks in my den in the '80s eating nothing but Thrifty square ice cream on a card table...

the Beast: having my cut head there in the middle of the shot on screen is just silly, i love this film.

Alicia Witt: for a little kid like me to have to say the word Kwisatz Haderach, that deserved hazard pay.
David Lynch: and here come the MEMES!!!...

David Lynch: Kwisatz Haderach, give a dog a bone, this old man is going home...

Laertus: oh the end credits tho, they're the most beautiful end credits in film history. the actors gently breathing looking at you with plaintive eyes.
Eye Luggage: i know, right? they're so ethereal, so dreamy, so watery, in a lucid dream by the sea, Vangelis music nipping at your earlobes...

David Lynch: doing the whole internal-monologue thing saved a FUCKLOAD on money. g'night folks.

me by the fire. a fire in a fireplace inside one of those Dune interstellar spaceship things. with gold Spice wisps coming off the flames.
Jen R: Burger King?
me: Burger King. happy weekend.
Jen: Burger King had the Dune 1984 toys!!!
