[After Saito has been shot in the first dream layer]
Cobb: Get Fischer in the backroom now. [Opens car door] Get him in the backroom. Move. What the hell happened?..Has he been shot? Is he dying?
Arthur: I don't know.
Cobb: Jesus Christ.
Arthur: Where were you what happened to you?
Cobb: We were blocked by a freight train.
Arthur: [to Ariadne] Why would you put a train crossing in the middle of a down-town intersection?
Ariadne: I didn't!
Arthur: Then where'd it come from?
Cobb: Let me ask you a question: why the hell were we ambushed? Those were not normal projections, they've been trained, for God's sake!
Ariadne: How could he be trained?
Arthur: Fischer has had an extractor teach his subconscious to defend itself. His subconscious has militarized. It should have shown in the research. I'm sorry.
Cobb: When why the hell didn't it?!
Arthur: Calm down.
Cobb: Don't tell me to calm down! This was your job, God damn it! This was your responsibility! You were meant to check Fischer's background thoroughly! We are not prepared to deal with this type of security!
Arthur: We have dealt with some security before! We'll be a little more careful, and we'll be fine!
Cobb: This was not a part of the plan! [on Saito] He's dying, for God's sake!
[Eames approaches with a gun and it aims it at Saito]
Eames: I'm putting him out of his misery.
Cobb: Don't do that! [shoves him back] Don't do that.
Eames: [exasperated] He's in agony. I'm waking him up.
Cobb: No. It won't wake him up.
Eames: What do you mean, "it won't wake him up"? If we die in a dream, we wake up.
Yusef: Not from this. [everyone looks at him] We're too heavily sedated to wake up that way.
Eames: So, what happens when we die?
Cobb: We drop into Limbo.
Arthur: [angry] Are you serious?!
Ariadne: Limbo?
Arthur: Unconstructed dream space.
Ariadne: Well, what the hell is down there?
Arthur: Just raw, infinite subconscious. Nothing is down there. Except for whatever that might have been left behind by whoever's sharing the dream who was trapped down there before. Which in our case, is just you.
Ariadne: But how long could we be stuck there?
Yusef: Not even think about waking up until –
Eames: How long?!
Yusef: Decades! It could be infinite! I don't know! [motioning to Cobb] Ask him, he's the one who's been there!
[Saito is moved upstairs]
Eames: Great. [to Cobb, sarcastic] Thank you. So, now we're in Fischer's mind battling his own private army. And, if we get killed, we'll all be lost in Limbo until our brains turn to scrambled egg. Hm?

Ariadne: Yeah, I was-- I was working on my totem, actually.
Cobb: Here. Let me take a look [he offers his hand to take the chess piece, but Ariadne withdraws it] So you're learning, huh?
Ariadne: An elegant solution for keeping track of reality. Was it your idea?
Cobb: No, it was uh... was Mal's, actually. [showing his top] This, This one was hers. She would spin it in the dream and it would never topple. Just spin and spin.

Mal: I know who you are. What are you doing here?
Ariadne: I'm just trying to... understand.
Mal: How could you understand? Do you know what it is to be a lover? To be half of a whole?
Ariadne: No.
Mal: I'll tell you a riddle: you're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where the train will take you? [she picks up a jagged wine glass]
Cobb: [behind Ariadne] Because you'll be together.
Mal: [upset] How could you bring her here, Dom?
Ariadne: What is this place?
Cobb: This is the hotel suite where we used to spend our anniversary.

[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.

[Browning and Fischer are discussing Fischer senior's will]
Browning: It splits off the component businesses of Fischer-Morrow. It'd be the entire empire as we know it.
Fischer: Destroying my whole inheritance. Why would he suggest that, you think?
Browning: I just don't know. He loved you, Robert. In his own way.
Fishcer: In his own way? At the end, he called me into his deathbed, and he could barely speak. But he took the trouble to tell me one last thing. He pulled me close, and I could only make out one word: "Disappointed".

[Cobb finds his wife, Mal, sitting on a window ledge]

Mal: Join me.
Cobb: Just step back inside, alright? Just step back inside now, come on.
Mal: No. I'm going to jump and you're coming with me.
Cobb: No, I'm not. You listen to me: if you jump, you're not gonna wake up, remember? You're going to die. Now, just step back inside so we can talk about this.
Mal: We've talked enough. [her slipper falls into the street below] Come out onto the ledge, or I'll jump right now.
Cobb: Okay. We're gonna talk about this, alright?
Mal: I'm asking you to take a leap of faith.
Cobb: No, honey. I can't. You know I can't do that. Take a second and think about our children. Think about James. Think about Philipa.
Mal: If I go without you, they'll take them away, anyway.
Cobb: What does that mean?
Mal: I filed a letter with our attorney explaining how I'm fearful for my safety. How you've threatened to kill me.
Cobb: Why would you do that? Why would you do this to me?
Mal: I love you, Dom. I've freed you from the guilt of choosing to leave them. We're going home. To our real children.
Cobb: No, no, no, Mal, you listen to me, alright? Mal, look at me, please!
Mal: You're waiting for a train...

Miles: I never taught you to be a thief.

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.

"Browning": Those bas**** have been at me for two days. They have someone with access to your father's office, and they're trying to open his safe. They thought I'd know the combination, but I don't know it.
Fischer: Well, neither do I.
"Browning": What? Maurice [Fischer's father] told me that when he passed, you'd be the only one able to open it!
Fischer: No, he never gave me any combination.
"Browning": Well, maybe he did. Maybe you just didn't know it was a combination.
Fischer: Well, what, then?
"Browning": I don't know, some meaningful combination of numbers based on your experiences with Maurice.
Fischer: [laughing] We, um, we didn't have many "meaningful" experiences together.
"Browning": Perhaps after your mother died.
Fischer: [sighs] After my mother died, you know what he told me? "Robert, there's really nothing to be said."
"Browning": Well, he was bad with emotion.
Fischer: [upset] I was eleven, Uncle Peter.

[Fischer and Cobb are speaking in the hotel bar]
Cobb: [as "Mr. Charles"] I specialize in a very specific type of security. Subconscious security.
Fischer: Are you talking about dreams? Are you talking about extraction?
Cobb: I am here to protect you... [the projections in the bar suddenly look at Cobb, and he glimpses images of his children through a window] ...Mr. Fischer, I am here to protect you in the event that someone tries to access your mind through your dreams. You're not safe here. They're coming for you. [rain suddenly begins pouring down outside] Strange weather, isn't it? You've actually been trained for this, Mr. Fischer. [chairs and glasses in the bar begin shifting sideways] Pay attention to the strangeness of the weather, the shift in gravity. None of this is real. You're in a dream. [the projections stare at Cobb again] Now, the easiest way for you to test yourself is to try and remember how you arrived at this hotel. Can you do that?
Fischer: Yeah, I, uh... [looks confused]
Cobb: Breathe, remember your training. Accept the fact that you're in a dream and I'm here to protect you. Go on.
Fischer: You're not real?
Cobb: No, no. [the projections ignore him again] I'm a projection of your subconscious. I was sent here to protect you in the event that extractors tried to pull you into a dream. And I believe that what's going on right now, Mr. Fischer.
Fischer: Yeah, okay. Can you get me out of here?
Cobb: Right away. Follow me.
