Yusuf:
The compound we'll be using to share the dream creates a very clear connection between dreamers whilst actually accelerating brain function.

Cobb:
In other words, it gives us more time on each level.

Yusuf:
Brain function in the dream will be about 20 times of normal. When you enter a dream within that dream, the effect is compounded. Three dreams is ten hours, is …

Eames:
[interupting] I'm sorry, math was never my strong subject. So how much time is that?

Cobb:
A week the first level down, six months the second level down, third level is …

Ariadne:
Ten years. Who'd want to be stuck in a dream for ten years?

Yusuf:
Depends on the dream.

Arthur:
So, once we've made the plant, how do we get out? I'm hoping you have something more elegant in mind than shooting me in the head?

Cobb:
A kick.

Ariadne:
What's a kick?

Eames:
This, Ariadne, would be a kick. [kicks Arthur's chair; Arthur flails but manages to right himself]

Cobb:
It's that feeling of falling that jolts you awake. It snaps you out of the dream.

Arthur:
Are we going to feel a kick with this kind of sedation?

Yusuf:
Well, that's the clever part. I customize the sedative to leave inner ear function unimpaired. That way, however deep the sleep, the sleeper still feels falling, or tipping.

Cobb:
The trick is to synchronize a kick that can penetrate all three levels.
