• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Yeah. Well, I don't like trains."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I'm just doing what you taught me."
• (Michael Caine) "I never taught you to be a thief."

• (Ariadne) "I guess, yeah."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "So how did we end up here?"
• (Ariadne) "Well we just came from the a --"

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping. This is your first lesson in shared dreaming. Stay calm."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "What do you want?"
• (Saito) "Inception. Is it possible?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Of course not."
• (Saito) "If you can steal an idea, why can't you plant one there instead?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Okay, this is me, planting an idea in your mind. I say: don't think about elephants. What are you thinking about?"
• (Saito) "Elephants?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Right, but it's not your idea. The dreamer can always remember the genesis of the idea. True inspiration is impossible to fake."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "No, it's not."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "You got the basic layout. Bookstore, cafe, almost everything else is here too."
• (Ariadne) "Who are the people?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Projections of my subconscious."
• (Ariadne) "Yours?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "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?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "By creating something secure, like a bank vault or a jail. The mind automatically fills it with information it's trying to protect. Understand?"
• (Ariadne) "Then you break in and steal it?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Well --"
• (Ariadne) "I guess I thought that the dream space would be all about the visual. But it's more about a feel of it. My question is what happens when you start messing with the physics of it all?"
• (Ariadne) "It's something, isn't it?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Yes, it is."

• (Ariadne) "Cobb, I'm coming with you."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Never recreate places from your memory. Always imagine new places."
• (Ariadne) "Well, you gotta draw from stuff you know, right?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Only use details, a street lamp or a phone booth, never entire areas."
• (Ariadne) "Why not?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Because building a dream from your memory is the easiest way to lose your grasp on what's real and what is a dream."

• (Saito) "Cobb. I'll still honor the arrangement."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I appreciate that, Saito, but when you wake up, you won't even remember that we had an arrangement. Limbo's gonna become your reality. You're gonna be lost down there so long that you're gonna become an old man."
• (Saito) "Filled with regret."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Waiting to die alone."
• (Saito) "No. I'll come back. And we'll be young men together again."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient -- highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed; fully understood; that sticks; right in there somewhere."

• (Ariadne) "Why are they all looking at me?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Because 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?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "They sense the foreign nature of the dreamer. they attack like white blood cells fighting an infection."
• (Ariadne) "What? They're going to attack us?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "No, no."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Just you."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "This is great, but I'm telling you, if you keep changing things --"

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "You shouldn't be here."
• (Ariadne) "I just wanted to see what kind of tests you're doing on your own every night."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "This has nothing to do with you."
• (Ariadne) "This has everything to do with me. You've asked me to share dreams with you."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Not these. These are my dreams."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Downwards is the only way forwards."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I can access your mind through your dreams."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I need to get home. That's all I care about right now."

• (Ariadne) "For what?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "For not asking whether I did."

• (Yusuf) "Brain function in the dream will be about twenty times to normal. When you enter a dream within that dream, the effect is compounded: it's three dreams, that's ten hours times twen --"
• (Eames) "I'm sorry, uh, maths was never my strong subject. How much time is that?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "It's a week the first level down. Six months the second level down, and -- the third level --"
• (Ariadne) "-- is ten years. Who would wanna be stuck in a dream for ten years?"
• (Yusuf) "Depends on the dream."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "An idea is like a virus. Resilient. Highly contagious. And even the smallest seed of an idea can grow. It can grow to define or destroy you."

• (Ariadne) "Why is it so important to dream?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Because, in my dreams we are together."

• (Ariadne) "Why are they all looking at me?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Because 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?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "It's the foreign nature of the dreamer. They attack like white blood cells fighting an infection."
• (Ariadne) "They're going to attack us?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "No. Just you."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "The moment's passed. Whatever I do I can't change this moment. I'm about to call out to them. They run away. If I'm ever going to see their faces I've gotta get back home. The real world."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I miss you more than I can bear, but we had our time together. I have to let you go."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "You're asking me for Inception. I hope you do understand the gravity of that request."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) ""I will split up my father's empire." Now, this is obviously an idea that Robert himself would choose to reject. Which is why we need to plant it deep in his subconscious. Subconscious is motivated by emotion, right? Not reason. We need to find a way to translate this into an emotional concept."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "How do you translate a business strategy into an emotion?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "That's what we're here to figure out, right? Now, Robert's relationship with his father is stressed, to say the least."
• (Eames) "Well, can we run with that? We could suggest to him breaking up his father's company as a "screw-you" to the old man."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "No, 'cause I think positive emotion trumps negative emotion every time. We all yearn for reconciliation, for catharsis. We need Robert Fischer to have a positive emotional reaction to all this."
• (Eames) "Alright, we'll try this, umm -- "My father accepts that I want to create for myself, not follow in his footsteps.""
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "That might work."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Might? We're gonna need to do a little better than 'might'."
• (Eames) "Oh, thank you for your contribution, Arthur."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Forgive me for wanting a little specificity, Eames."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Specificity?"

Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Arthur

• (Ariadne) "Cobb can't build anymore, can he?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "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?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "He won't tell me. But I think it's Mal."
• (Ariadne) "His ex-wife?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "No, not his ex."
• (Ariadne) "They're still together?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "No, she -- she's dead. What you see in there is just his projection of her."
• (Ariadne) "What was she like in real life?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "She was lovely."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "You. What the hell was all that?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I have it under control."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "I'd hate to see it out of control."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Where were you? What happened to you?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Got blocked by a freight train."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Why would you put a train course in the middle of a downtown intersection?"
• (Ariadne) "Why, I didn't."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Where did it come from?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Let me ask you a question, why the hell were we ambushed, huh? Those were not normal projections. They've been trained, for God's sakes."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "You're right."
• (Ariadne) "How could they be trained?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Fischer's had an extractor teach his subconscious to defend itself, so, his subconscious has militarized. It should have shown in the research. I'm sorry."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "With the slightest disturbance, the dream's going to collapse."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "You couldn't have peed before you went under?"
• (Yusuf) "Sorry."
• (Eames) "A bit too much free champagne before take off, Yusuf?"
• (Yusuf) "Ha ha, bloody ha."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "And I will lead them on a merry chase."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "It would have to be a 747."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Why is that?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Because in a 747, the pilot's up top, and the first class cabin's in the nose, so no one would walk through. But you'd have to buy out the entire cabin. And the first class flight attendant --"
• (Saito) "I bought the airline."
• (Saito) "It seemed neater."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "And you. You knew about this and went along with it."
• (Yusuf) "I trusted him."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "You trusted him. What, when he promised you half his share?"
• (Yusuf) "No, his whole share. Besides he said he'd done it before."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "You've done it before? What, with Mal? 'Cause that worked so good."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "That has nothing to do with it. I did what I had to do to get back to my children."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "What about his security? It's gonna get worse as we go deeper."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I think we run with Mr. Charles."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "No."
• (Eames) "Who's Mr. Charles?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Bad idea."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "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?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Yeah, and it didn't work. The subject realized he was dreaming and his subconscious tore us to pieces."
• (Eames) "Excellent. But you learned a lot, right?"

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "So, a totem. It's a small object, potentially heavy, something you can have on you all the time --"
• (Ariadne) "What, like a coin?"
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "No, it has to be more unique than that, like; this is a loaded die."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Nah, 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 you're not in someone else's dream."

• (Ariadne) "My subconscious seems polite enough."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Well wait, it'll turn ugly. No one wants to feel someone else messing around their mind."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Paradox."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "What's going on up there?"

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "You should walk away from this."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Eames, I am impressed."
• (Eames) "Your condescension, as always, is much appreciated, Arthur. Thank you."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "So, once we've made the plant, how do we go out? Hope you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "A kick."
• (Ariadne) "What's a kick?"
• (Eames) "This, Ariadne, would be a kick"

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "What happened?"
• (Ariadne) "Cobb stayed."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "With Mal?"
• (Ariadne) "No, to find Saito."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "He'll be lost."
• (Ariadne) "No he'll be all right."

• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "Eames, I am impressed."
• (Eames) "Your condescension, as always, is much appreciated, Arthur, thank you."

Pete Postlethwaite as Fischer

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "I'm insured against kidnapping for up to 10 million. This should be very simple."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Shut up. It won't be."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "In your father's office, below the bookshelves is his personal safe. We need the combination."
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "I don't know any safe."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "That doesn't mean you don't know the combination. Tell us what it is."
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "I don't know."
• (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) "We have it on good authority you do know."
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "Yeah? Whose authority?"

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "I know. But we can't. And I'm sorry."
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "You remember when you asked me to marry you? You said you dreamt that we'd grow old together."

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "At the end, he called me to his deathbed. 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.""

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "How could you understand? Do you know what it is to be a lover? To be half of a whole?"
• (Ariadne) "No --"
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "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 that train will take you?"
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Because you'll be together."

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "Do you know what it is to be a lover? Half of a whole?"

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "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 that train will take you?"

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "Disa -- disap -- disappointed"

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "No. No, no. I was disappointed -- that you tried."

• (Pete Postlethwaite) "I'm asking you to take a leap of faith."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "No I can't. You know I can't do that. Take a second, think about our children. Think about James. Think about Phillipa now."

• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Why did you do that?"
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "I love you, Dom."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "Why did you -- why-why would you do that?"
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "I freed you from the guilt of choosing to leave them. We're going home to our real children."
• (Leonardo DiCaprio) "No, no, no, no. Mal you listen to me, alright? Mal look at me, please."
• (Pete Postlethwaite) "You're waiting for a train --"
