Caltrops - Peter Molyneux's The Movies





	[quote name="Mischief Maker"]Here's an excerpt I found off the net: [quote]"Feyd," the Baron said. "I told you to listen and learn when I invited you in here. Are you learning?" "Yes, Uncle." the voice was carefully subservient. "Sometimes I wonder about Piter," the Baron said. "I cause pain out of necessity, but he . . . I swear he takes a positive delight in it. For myself, I can feel pity toward the poor Duke Leto. Dr. Yueh will move against him soon, and that'll be the end of all the Atreides. But surely Leto will know whose hand directed the pliant doctor . . . and knowing that will be a terrible thing." "Then why haven't you directed the doctor to slip a kindjal between his ribs quietly and efficiently?" Piter asked. "You talk of pity, but - " "The Duke must know when I encompass his doom," the Baron said. "And the other Great Houses must learn of it. The knowledge will give them pause. I'll gain a bit more room to maneuver. The necessity is obvious, but I don't have to like it." "Room to maneuver," Piter sneered. "Already you have the Emperor's eyes on you, Baron. You move too boldly. One day the Emperor will send a legion or two of his Sardaukar down here onto Giedi Prime and that'll be an end to the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen." "You'd like to see that, wouldn't you, Piter?" the Baron asked. "You'd enjoy seeing the Corps of Sardaukar pillage through my cities and sack this castle. You'd truly enjoy that." "Does the Baron need to ask?" Piter whispered. "You should've been a Bashar of the Corps," the Baron said. "You're too interested in blood and pain. Perhaps I was too quick with my promise of the spoils of Arrakis." Piter took five curiously mincing steps into the room, stopped directly behind Feyd-Rautha. There was a tight air of tension in the room, and the youth looked up at Piter with a worried frown. "Do not toy with Piter, Baron," Piter said. "You promised me the Lady Jessica. You promised her to me." "For what, Piter?" the Baron asked. "For pain?" Piter stared at him, dragging out the silence.[/quote] Here's that same scene in Game of Thrones: Perhaps it is necessary for the powerful to cause suffering. Unlike you, I am a gentleman and take no pleasure in it! Perhaps, but why take such dangerous steps to make the duke suffer before he dies when it would be safer to simply kill him? Perhaps I don't like the direction this conversation is taking. Perhaps you are just as much a sadist as I. The difference is, perhaps, because I am not a gentleman I'm honest about it. Perhaps because you admit to being a sadist, I won't give you the lady jessica as promised. Perhaps I'll kill your beloved heir if you break your promise to me. Perhaps you plan to take sadistic pleasures out of her. Perhaps.[/quote]
