(Wensicia and Jessica sit in a spaceship in awkward silence. The spaceship begins to descend).
WENSICIA:
"Almost there!"
JESSICA:
"Thank you, Wensicia. I assume you'll send word about my share?"
WENSICIA:
"Your share of what, Jessica?"
JESSICA (looking confused):
"Why, the spice profits, Wencisia! Like we discussed!"
WENSICIA:
"Oh, that. Jessica, I'm afraid that without our heir, your role is of little use to us now."
JESSICA:
"What do you mean, Wencisia?"
WENSICIA:
"You failed. Neither of us shall ever see Leto again. And why should my brother and I reward failure?"
JESSICA:
"My failure?! I didn't think you'd take it this far!!"
WENCISIA:
"Oh, don't act so innocent, Jessica! It had to be this way because you failed to convince Chani to send the children to Caladan! Honestly, Jessica, you didn't just lose your Bene Gesserit abilities, you've lost your basic intelligence! (Jessica sits in stunned silence, there is a long pause. The spaceship lands on Caladan, the gangplank opens). Ah, home again! Farewell, Jessica! Give my regards to Sir Halleck! At least his reputation in this galaxy will remain pure as the Caladan rain!" (Jessica looks at Wencisia one more time and runs off the gangplank onto the ground).
