“ARIADNE: Why are they looking at me?COBB: Because you're changing things. My subconscious feels that someone else is creating the world. The more you change things, the quicker the projections converge on you.ARIADNE: Converge?COBB: They feel the foreign nature of the dreamer, and attack-like white blood cells fighting an infection.ARIADNE: They're going to attack us?COBB: Just you, actually.”

“COBB: What do you want from us? SAITO: Inception. Arthur raises his eyebrows. Cobb is poker-faced. SAITO: Is it possible? ARTHUR: Of course not. SAITO: If you can steal an idea from someone's mind, why can't you plant one there instead? ARTHUR: Okay, here's planting an idea: I say to you, "Don't think about elephants." (Saito nods) What are you thinking about? SAITO: Elephants. ARTHUR: Right. But it's not your idea because you know I gave it to you. SAITO: You could plant it subconsciously- ARTHUR: The subject's mind can always trace the genesis of the idea. True inspiration is impossible to fake. COBB: No, it isn't. SAITO: Can you do it? COBB: I won't do it. SAITO: In exchange, I'll give you the information you were paid to steal. COBB: Are you giving me a choice? Because I can find my own way to square things with Cobol. SAITO: Then you do have a choice. COBB: And I choose to leave.”

Cobb beckons from the rear window. Eames looks at Saito. Back to Cobb.EAMES: This your idea of losing a tail?COBB: (shrugs) Different tail.”

“There’s no such thing as a noble death, Cobb ... there’s just death.”

“ARTHUR: He's out.ARIADNE: Wait, Cobb-I'm lost. Whose subconscious are we going into?COBB: Fischer's. I told him it was Browning's so he'd come with us as part of our team.ARTHUR: (impressed) He's going to help us break into his own subconscious.COBB: That's the idea. He'll think that his security is Browning's and fight them to learn the truth about his father.”
