Saito:
Tell the crew where you want to go....[Cobb and Arthur begin to leave] Hey Mr. Cobb. How would you like to go home? To America, to your children?

Cobb:
You can't fix that. No one can.

Saito:
Just like inception?

Arthur:
Cobb, come on.

Cobb:
How complex is the idea?

Saito:
Simple enough.

Cobb:
No idea is simple when you need to plant it in somebody else's mind.

Saito:
My main competitor is an old man in poor health. His son will soon inherit control of the corporation. I need him to decide to break up his father's empire.

Arthur:
Cobb, we should walk away from this

Cobb:
Hold on...[regarding Saito's job] If I were to do this, if I even could do it, I'd need a guarantee. How do I know you can deliver?

Saito:
You don't. But I can. So, do you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone? [Cobb says nothing] Assemble your team, Mr. Cobb. And choose your people more wisely.

[Cobb meets in Paris with his father-in-law, Miles]

Cobb:
You never did like your office, did you?

Miles:
No space to think in that broom cupboard...Is it safe for you to be here?

Cobb:
Extradition between France and the United States is a bureaucratic nightmare, you know that.

Miles:
I think they might find a way to make it work in your case.

Cobb:
[holding a bag] Look, I, uh, brought these for you to give to the kids when you get a chance.

Miles:
It'll take more than the occasional stuffed animal to convince those children they still have a father.

Cobb:
I'm just doing what I know. I'm doing what you taught me.

Miles:
I never taught you to be a thief.

Cobb:
No, you taught me to navigate people's minds. But after what happened there weren't a whole lot of legitimate ways for me to use that skill.

Miles:
...What you doing here Dom?

Cobb:
I think I found a way home. It's a job for some very, very powerful people. People who I believe can fix my charges permanently...But I need your help

Miles:
You're here to corrupt one of my brightest and best.

Cobb:
You know what I'm offering. You have to let them decide for themselves.

Miles:
Money.

Cobb:
Not just money. You remember. It's the chance to build cathedrals, entire cities, things that never existed, things that couldn't exist in the real world.

Miles:
So you want me to let someone else follow you into your fantasy?

Cobb:
They don't actually come into the dream. They just design the levels and teach them to the dreamers. That's all.

Miles:
Design it yourself.

Cobb:
Mal won't let me.

Miles:
...Come back to reality, Dom. Please.

Cobb:
Reality. Those kids, your grandchildren, they're waiting for their father to come back home. That's their reality. And this job, this last job, that's how I get there. I would not be standing here if I knew any other way...I need an architect who's as good as I was.

Miles:
I've got somebody better.

Cobb:
I have a test for you.

Ariadne:
You're not gonna tell me anything about this first?

Cobb:
Before I describe the job, I have to know you can do it

Ariadne:
Why?

Cobb:
It's not, strictly speaking, legal...You have two minutes to design a maze that it takes one minute to solve.

Cobb:
They say we only use a fraction of our brain's true potential. Now that's when we're awake. When we're asleep, our mind can do almost anything.

Ariadne:
Such as?

Cobb:
Well, imagine you're designing a building. You consciously create each aspect. But sometimes it feels like it's almost "creating itself", if you know what I mean.

Ariadne:
Yeah, like I'm discovering it.

Cobb:
Genuine inspiration, right? Now, in a dream, our mind continuously does this. We create and perceive our world simultaneously, and our mind does this so well that we don't even know it's happening. That allows us to get right in the middle of that process.

Ariadne:
How?

Cobb:
By taking over the creating part. Now this is where I need you. You create the world of the dream. We bring the subject into that dream, and they fill it with their subconscious.

Ariadne:
How could I ever acquire enough detail to make them think it's reality?

Cobb:
Well, dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange...Let me ask you a question. You never really remember the beginning of a dream, do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.

Ariadne:
I guess, yeah.

Cobb:
So how did we end up here?

Ariadne:
Well, we just came from the... [she trails off, looking confused]

Cobb:
Think about it, Ariadne, how did you get here? Where are you right now?

Ariadne:
[realises] We're dreaming?

Cobb:
You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping. This is your first lesson in shared dreaming. Stay calm.

[As Ariadne's perception fails, the Paris street begins to explode and collapse]

[Cobb tries to dodge some of the debris]

Ariadne:
If it's just a dream then why are you--?

[Debris falls on Ariadne waking her up]

[Now both awake]

Cobb:
Because it's never just a dream is it? And a face full of glass hurts like hell. When you're in it, it feels real

Arthur:
That's why the military developed dream sharing. It was a training program for soldiers to shoot and stab and strangle each other..and then wake up.

Ariadne:
How did architects become involved?

Cobb:
Well, someone had to design the dreams, right?[to Arthur] Why don't you give us another five minutes.

Ariadne:
Wha, Five minutes? We were talking for at least an hour!

Cobb:
In a dream, your mind functions more quickly. Therefore, time seems to feel slower.

Arthur:
Five minutes in the real world gives you an hour in the dream.

Cobb:
Why don't you see what you can get up to in five minutes?

Cobb:
You've got the basic layout. Bookstore, cafe. Almost everything else is here too.

Ariadne:
Who are the people?

Cobb:
Projections of my subconscious

Ariadne:
Yours?

Cobb:
Yes. Remember, you are the dreamer. You build this world. I am the subject. My mind populates it. You can literally talk to my subconscious. That's one of the ways we extract information from the subject.

Ariadne:
How else do you do it?

Cobb:
By creating something secure, like a bank vault or a jail. The mind automatically fills it with information it's trying to protect. You understand?

Ariadne:
Then you break in and steal it?

Cobb:
Well....

Ariadne:
I guess I thought that the dream space would be all about the visual, but it's more about the feel of it. My question is what happens when you start messing with the physics of it all?

[Ariadne folds the city in on itself]

Ariadne:
It's something isn't it

Cobb:
Yes, it is

[Projections start to stare at Ariadne as they walk by]

Ariadne:
Why are they all looking at me?

Cobb:
Cause my subconscious feels that someone else is creating this world. The more you change things, the quicker the projections start to converge on you.

Ariadne:
Converge?

Cobb:
They sense the foreign nature of the dreamer. They attack, like white blood cells fighting an infection.

Ariadne:
What, they're gonna attack us?

Cobb:
No, no....Just you.

[Ariadne creates a bridge]

Cobb:
This is great, but I'm telling you, if you keep changing things like this...

[One of Cobb's projections bumps into Ariadne]

Ariadne:
Jeez, mind telling your subconscious to take it easy?

Cobb:
It's my subconscious. Remember? I can't control it.

[Ariadne comes to a stop, Pulls two mirrors together and creates a pathway]

Cobb:
Very impressive. [Cobb starts to realize the location]. I know this bridge. This place is real, isn't it?

Ariadne:
Yeah, I cross it every day to get to the college.

Cobb:
Never re-create places from your memory. Always imagine new places.

Ariadne:
You gotta draw from stuff you know, right?

Cobb:
[Cobb starts to become nervous] Only use details. A streetlamp or a phone booth, Never entire areas.

Ariadne:
Why not?

Cobb:
Building a dream from your memory is the easiest way to lose your grasp on what's real and what is a dream.

Ariadne:
Is that what happened to you?

Cobb:
Listen to me. [Cobb grabs Ariadne, All projections stop and stare] This has nothing to do with me, understand?

Ariadne:
Is that why you need me to build your dreams?

[Projections start to converge on Ariadne, Cobb tries to fight them off]

Cobb:
Hey, get off her. Back up. Back up

[Projections separate Ariadne from Cobb]

Ariadne:
Hey. [Ariadne begins to yell for cobb] COBB! COBB!

Cobb:
GET OFF OF HER!

Ariadne:
LET ME GO! LET ME GO!

Cobb:
MAL! MAL!

Ariadne:
COBB! WAKE ME UP!

[Cobb's projection of his wife, walks up and stabs Ariadne, waking her up]

[After Ariadne is stabbed by Mal in a dream, she wakes up gasping for air]

Arthur:
Hey, hey, hey. Look at me. You're okay. You're okay. Hey

Ariadne:
Why wouldn't I wake up?

Arthur:
Cause there was still some time on the clock. You can't wake up from within the dream unless you die.

[Cobb wakes up and immediately heads to the bathroom to check his reality]

Cobb:
She'll need a totem.

Ariadne:
What?

Arthur:
A totem. It's a small personal...

Ariadne:
That's some subconscious you've got on you, Cobb! She's a real charmer.

Arthur:
Ah, I see you've met Mrs. Cobb.

Ariadne:
She's his wife?

Arthur:
Yeah. So a totem. You need a small object, potentially heavy. Something you can have on you all the time that no one else knows.

Ariadne:
Like a coin?

Arthur:
No, it needs to be more unique than that. [shows her a small red die] This is a loaded die. [Ariadne reaches for it, he pulls his hand away] No, I can't let you touch it, that would defeat the purpose. See, only I know the balance and weight of this particular loaded die. That way, when you look at your totem, you know beyond a doubt that you're not in someone else's dream.

Ariadne:
I don't know if you can't see what's going on, or if you just don't want to, but Cobb has some serious problems that he's tried to bury down there. And I'm not about to just open my mind to someone like that.

[Ariadne leaves as Cobb comes out of the bathroom]

Cobb:
She'll be back. I've never seen anyone pick it up that quickly before. Reality's not gonna be enough for her now, and when she comes back....when she comes back, you're gonna have her building mazes.

Arthur:
Where are you gonna be?

Cobb:
I gotta go visit Eames.

Arthur:
Eames?...No, He's in Mombasa. It's Cobol's backyard.

Cobb:
It's a necessary risk.

Arthur:
There's plenty of good thieves.

Cobb:
We don't just need a thief. We need a forger.

Cobb:
Inception. Now, before you bother telling me it's impossible, let me.

Eames:
No, it's perfectly possible. It's just bloody difficult.

Cobb:
Interesting. Because Arthur keeps telling me it can't be done

Eames:
Hmm. Arthur. You still working with that stick in the mud?

Cobb:
He is good at what he does, right?

Eames:
Oh, he's the best but he has no imagination

Cobb:
Not like you

Eames:
Listen, if you're gonna perform inception, you need imagination.

Cobb:
Let me ask you something. Have you done it before?

Eames:
We tried it. Uh, we got the idea in place, but it didn't take

Cobb:
You didn't plant it deep enough?

Eames:
No, it's not just about depth. You need the simplest version of the idea in order for it to grow naturally in your subject's mind. It's a very subtle art. So, what is this idea that you need to plant?

Cobb:
We need the heir of a major corporation to dissolve his father's empire

Eames:
Well you see right there you have various political motivations and anti-monopolistic sentiments and so forth. But all of that stuff, it's um.... It's really at the mercy of your subject's prejudice, you see? What you have to do is start at the absolute basic.

Cobb:
Which is what?

Eames:
The relationship with the father. [Cobb gives a look of approval]. Do you have a chemist?

Cobb:
No, not yet

Eames:
Right. Okay, well, there's a man here, Yusuf. He, uh, formulates his own versions of the compounds

Cobb:
Why, don't you take me there?

Eames:
Once you've lost your tail. The man at the bar.

Cobb:
Cobol engineering. That price on my head, was that dead or alive?

Eames:
Don't remember. Let's see if he starts shooting.

Cobb:
Run interference. I'll meet you downstairs in the bar in, say, uh, say half an hour?

Eames:
Back here?

Cobb:
It's the last place they'd suspect

Eames:
[Chuckles] All right.

[Ariadne walks back into the warehouse]

Arthur:
Cobb said you'd be back

Ariadne:
I tried not to come, but.....

Arthur:
But there's nothing quite like it

Ariadne:
It's just...pure creation.

Arthur:
Shall we take a look at some paradoxical architecture?

[Arthur and Ariadne are walking up a wooden staircase in the dream]

Arthur:
You're going to have to master a few tricks if you're going to build three complete dream levels. [Projection drops papers in front of Arthur]..Excuse me.

Ariadne:
What kind of tricks?

Arthur:
In a dream you can cheat architecture into impossible shapes. That lets you create closed loops. Like the Penrose Steps. An infinite staircase. [The camera reveals they are walking on an impossible, looping staircase] See?...Paradox.

Arthur:
So a closed loop like that will help you disguise the boundaries of the dream you create

Ariadne:
But how big do these levels have to be?

Arthur:
It could be anything from the floor of a building to an entire city. But they have to be complicated enough that we can hide from the projections.

Ariadne:
A Maze?

Arthur:
Right, a maze. And the better the maze...

Ariadne:
Then the longer we have before the projections catch us?

Arthur:
Exactly.

Ariadne:
My subconscious seems polite enough.

Arthur:
[Arthur laughs] Ha,ha. You wait, they'll turn ugly. No one else like to feel someone else messing around in their mind.

Ariadne:
Cobb can't build anymore, can he?

Arthur:
Well I don't know if he can't, but he won't. He thinks it's safer if he doesn't know the layouts.

Ariadne:
Why?

Arthur:
He won't tell me. But I think it's Mal.

Ariadne:
His ex-wife?

Arthur:
No, Not his Ex.

Ariadne:
They're still together?

Arthur:
No. It's....no she's dead...What you see in there is just his projection of her.

Ariadne:
What was she like in real life?

Arthur:
She was lovely.

Spooner:
[picks up a book on Lanning's desk] Hansel and Gretel... Is that on the USR preferred reading list?

Dr. Calvin:
Not precisely. [Spooner picks up a stool and swings it into an unbroken window in Lanning's office, which cracks, but doesn't break] What in God's name are you doing?!

Spooner:
Did you know that was safety-glass? Be pretty difficult for an old man to throw himself through that, don't you think?

Dr. Calvin:
[nonplussed] Well, he figured out a way.

Spooner:
[unconvinced] Uh-huh. [looks around the office]

Dr.Calvin:
Detective, the room was security locked. Nobody came or went. You saw that yourself. Doesn't this have to be suicide?

Spooner:
Yep. [drawing his gun] Unless the killer is still in here. [starts searching through a container full of robotic parts]

Dr. Calvin:
[realising what Spooner's getting at] You're joking, right? [follows him] This is ridiculous-

Spooner:
Yeah, I know. The Three Laws. Your perfect circle of protection.

Dr. Calvin:
"A robot cannot harm a human being." The First Law of Robotics.

Spooner:
Yeah, I've seen your commercials. But doesn't the Second Law say that a robot must obey any order given by a human. What if it was given an order to kill?

Dr. Calvin:
Impossible, it would conflict with the First Law!

Spooner:
Right, but the Third Law states that a robot can defend itself.

Dr. Calvin:
Yes, but only if that action does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Spooner:
Well, you know what they say; Laws are made to be broken.

Dr. Calvin:
No. Not these Laws. They are hard-wired into every robot. A robot can no more commit murder than a human can... walk on water.

Spooner:
Well, you know, there was this one guy, a long time ago-

Dr Calvin:
But... Detective, what are you doing?

Spooner:
Well as you said, they have all been programmed with the Three Laws, and that means we have one thousand robots that will not drive to protect themselves if it is in violation of a direct order from a human. And I bet one will. [aims his gun at the NS-5s one by one]

Dr Calvin:
Detective, put your gun down.

Spooner:
Why do you give them faces? Try to friendly them all up, make them look more human.

Dr Calvin These robots are not suspectible to intimidation.

Spooner:
Well, I guess if you did, then we wouldn't trust them.

Dr. Calvin:
These robots are USR property!

Not me. These things are just lights, and clockwork [shoots an NS-5]

Spooner:
Murder's a new trick for a robot. Congratulations. Respond.

Sonny:
What does this action signify? [winks] As you entered, when you looked at the other human. What does it mean? [winks]

Spooner:
It's a sign of trust. It's a human thing. You wouldn't understand.

Sonny:
My father tried to teach me human emotions. They are... difficult.

Spooner:
You mean your designer.

Sonny:
...Yes.

Spooner:
So, why'd you murder him?

Sonny:
I did not murder Dr. Lanning.

Sponner:
Wanna explain why you were hiding at the crime scene?

Sonny:
I was frightened.

Spooner:
Robots don't feel fear. They don't feel anything. They don't get hungry, they don't sleep-

Sonny:
I do. I have even had dreams.

Spooner:
Human beings have dreams. Even dogs have dreams, but not you. You are just a machine; an imitation of life. Can a robot write a symphony? Can a robot turn a... canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?

Sonny:
[with genuine interest] Can you?

Spooner:
[beat, irritated] I think you murdered him because he was teaching you to simulate emotions, and things got out of control.

Sonny:
I did not murder him.

Spooner:
But emotions don't seem like a very useful simulation for a robot.

Sonny:
[getting upset] I did not murder him.

Spooner:
Hell, I don't want my toaster or my vacuum cleaner appearing emotional-

Sonny:
[hitting table with his fists] I DID NOT MURDER HIM! [looks down to see the damage he has inflicted to the interrogation table]

Spooner:
That one's called anger. Ever simulate anger before? [Sonny doesn't respond] Answer me, canner!

Sonny:
[looks up, indignant] My name is Sonny.

Spooner:
So, we're naming you now. Is that why you murdered him? He made you angry?

Sonny:
Dr. Lanning killed himself. I don't know why he wanted to die. I thought he was happy. Maybe it was something I did. Did I do something? He asked me for a favor... Made me promise...

Spooner:
What favor?

Sonny:
Maybe I was wrong... Maybe he was scared...

Spooner:
What are you talking about? Scared of what?

Sonny:
You have to do what someone asks you, don't you, Detective Spooner?

[after Spooner escapes from Dr. Lanning's house being demolished]

Dr. Calvin:
Is there something I need to help you with, detective?

Spooner:
Hey, do you like cats?

Dr. Calvin:
Wait, what?

Spooner:
Cats. Do you like them?

Dr. Calvin:
What? No, I'm allergic... Are you saying that cats did this to you!?

Spooner:
[looks at her incredulously] How the hell would cats do this to me? Are you crazy?! [gets a drink of whiskey from a nearby table]

Dr. Calvin:
Why are we talking about cats?

Spooner:
Because I have a cat in my trunk, and he's homeless.

Dr. Calvin:
Aren't you going to tell me what's going on here?

Spooner:
You know, I think this is my fault, you know, that I'm like a sort of malfunction magnet, because your shit keeps malfunctioning around me; A demo-bot just tore through Lanning's house - with me still inside!

Dr. Calvin:
That's highly improbable.

Spooner:
[sarcastically] Yeah, I'll say it is. [truthfully] Do you know anything about the "ghost in the machine"?

Dr. Calvin:
It's a phrase from Lanning's work on the Three Laws. He postulated that cognitive simalactra might one day approximate component models of the psyche. [notices Spooner looking confused] He suggested that robots could naturally evolve.

Spooner:
: [sarcastic] Wow! Well, that's just great. [notices an NS-5 sitting on her couch] What the hell is that thing doing in here?

Dr. Calvin:
We were watching TV. It's my personal NS-5.

Spooner:
Send it out.

Dr. Calvin:
It's downloading its upgrades from USR. Most of its systems are offline until it finishes.

Spooner:
I'm not talking in front of that thing. [moves away] In the lab, when Sonny jumped us-

Dr. Calvin:
Sonny?

Spooner:
The robot.

Dr. Calvin:
You're calling the robot Sonny?

Spooner:
No, um, it did. Sonny did. I didn't care, the robot said it was Sonny. In the lab, there was a cot. I'm asking you, did you see the cot?

Dr. Calvin:
I've slept in my office.

Spooner:
I went to Dr. Lanning's home, it looked like he hadn't been in there in weeks, and I saw that same surveillance strip on the ceiling.

Dr. Calvin:
Lanning had his home security system linked to USR. It made his life more convenient.

Spooner:
Maybe someone in USR was using those systems to watch him, maybe even keep him prisoner.

Dr. Calvin:
What are you talking about? Who?

Spooner:
Maybe Lanning was onto something. Maybe... There's a bigger problem with the robots, and Robertson is trying to cover it up.

Dr. Calvin:
Humoring you, for no reason... Why?

Spooner:
[becoming annoyed] The same old "why"... How much money is there in robots? [pause] All I know is, that poor old man was in trouble, and I'm sick and tired of doing this shit by myself. You're on the inside, and you're going to help me find out what is wrong with these robots.

Dr. Calvin:
[irritated] You "want" something to be wrong with them! This is a personal vendetta!

Detective Del Spooner:
[mockingly] Oh, you're putting me on the couch? Alright, just a moment... [sits on the desk chair] Okay, I'm on the couch.

Dr. Calvin:
One defective machine is not enough for you, You need them all to be bad! You don't care about Dr. Lanning's death; This is about the robots and, for whatever reason, you hate them so much!

Spooner:
[gets up from the chair] Well, let's see. One of them put a gun in my face, and another onetore a building down with me still inside.

Dr. Calvin:
[checks her device] Demolition was scheduled for 8 PM this evening.

Spooner:
It was 8 AM tomorrow, and I don't give a shit what that thing says!

Dr. Calvin:
This is bordering on clinical paranoia.

Spooner:
[struggling to contain himself] You are the DUMBEST, smart person, I have ever met in my life!

Dr. Calvin:
Nice.

Spooner:
[frustrated] What makes your robots so perfect?! What makes them so much... GODDAMN better than human beings?!

Dr. Calvin:
Well, they're not irrational, or potentially homicidal maniacs for starters!

Spooner:
[sarcastically] That is true. They are definitely rational.

Dr. Calvin:
You are the dumbest dumb person I've ever met!

Spooner:
Or is it because they're cold, and emotionless, and they don't feel anything?

Dr. Calvin:
It's because they're safe! It's because they can't hurt you!

NS-5 Robot:
[appears] Is everything all right, ma'am?

Spooner:
Hey, what do you want?!

NS-5 Robot:
I detected elevated stress patterns in your voice.

Dr. Susan Calvin:
Everything's fine. [pointedly, to Spooner] Detective Spooner was just leaving.

[Spooner procedes to do so, then stops beside her]

Spooner:
You know something, Doc? You and I ain't that different.

Dr. Calvin:
[scoffs] Is that so?

Spooner:
One look at the skin, and we think we know just what's underneath. And you're wrong. [gives her a picture of her and Dr. Lanning] The problem is I do care.

[Spooner leaves as Calvin begins to cry, clutching the photograph]
