Ariadne: Are these the `experiments` you do every night? You`re trying to keep her alive, aren`t you? You can`t just create a prison of memories. Do you really think that could contain her?

Ariadne: How could I ever acquire enough detail to make them think that its reality?
Cobb: Well dreams, they feel real while we`re in them, right? It`s only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you, 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 a...
Cobb: Think about it Ariadne, how did you get here? Where are you right now?

Cobb: I don`t like trains.
Cobb: (notices that he`s being followed) That price on my head, was that dead or alive?
Eames: Don`t remember. See if he starts shooting.
Cobb: What do you want?
Saito: Inception. Is it possible?
Arthur: Of course not.
Saito: If you can steal an idea, why can`t you plant one there instead?
Arthur: Okay, this is me, planting an idea in your mind. I say: don`t think about elephants. What are you thinking about?
Saito: Elephants?
Arthur: Right, but it`s not your idea. The dreamer can always remember the genesis of the idea. True inspiration is impossible to fake.
Cobb: No, it`s not.
Mal: Your world is not real!
Arthur: Eames, I am impressed.
Eames: Your condescension has always much appreciated, Arthur. Thank you.
Ariadne: You mind telling your subconscious to take it easy?
Cobb: I need to get home. That`s all I care about right now.
Ariadne: Why can`t you go home?
Cobb: Because they think I killed her.
Ariadne: (silence)
Cobb: Thank you.
Ariadne: For what?
Cobb: For not asking whether I did.
Ariadne: Cobb, I`m coming with you.
Cobb: I promised Miles...
Ariadne: The team needs someone who understands what you`re struggling with. And it doesn`t have to be me, but then you have to show Arthur what I just saw.
Cobb: (to Saito) Get us another seat on the plane.
Fischer: After my mother died, you know what he told me? "Robert, there`s really nothing to be said."
Peter Browning: He was bad with emotions.

Arthur: What about his security? It`s gonna get worse as we go deeper.
Cobb: I think we run with Mr. Charles.
Arthur: No.
Eames: Who`s Mr. Charles?
Arthur: Bad idea.
Cobb: The second we get in that hotel with Fischer, his security is gonna be all over us. We run with Mr. Charles like we did on the Stein job.
Eames: So you`ve done it before?
Arthur: Yeah, and it didn`t work. The subject realized he was dreaming and his subconscious tore us to pieces.
