  This is what makes Inception one of the most finely crafted movie/stories of all time. When in dream there is conflict/manipulation possible because you are not the architect as Mr Charles points out. If you fall into limbo you are the architect and there is nothing you do not resolve for yourself so people get lost and never return. When Cobb and Mal were in agreement they created a comfortable world together and it was only when they had a conflict that Cobb realized it was not reality and had to work out how to convince Mal of that.
  
  When Saito was in limbo alone he created his own world that was comfortable and consistent and where he would have aged forever and never left. Cobb enters that world and the quoted conversation is their confused way to realize together that they are not in reality because they are different ages and both being businessmen they had an agreement/contract that still had to be completed.
  
  In both cases it was the conflicts between the worlds made by two that allowed them to leave whereas Cobb was totally correct that there is no way back from limbo (when only one person is there or two that are in agreement to share the same reality.) more »
