[Cobb meets in Paris with his father-in-law, Miles]

Cobb:
You never did like your office, did you?

Miles:
No space to think in that broom cupboard...Is it safe for you to be here?

Cobb:
Extradition between France and the United States is a bureaucratic nightmare, you know that.

Miles:
I think they might find a way to make it work in your case.

Cobb:
[holding a bag] Look, I, uh, brought these for you to give to the kids when you get a chance.

Miles:
It'll take more than the occasional stuffed animal to convince those children they still have a father.

Cobb:
I'm just doing what I know. I'm doing what you taught me.

Miles:
I never taught you to be a thief.

Cobb:
No, you taught me to navigate people's minds. But after what happened there weren't a whole lot of legitimate ways for me to use that skill.

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.

Cobb:
Not just money. You remember. It's the chance to build cathedrals, entire cities, things that never existed, things that couldn't exist in the real world.

Miles:
So you want me to let someone else follow you into your fantasy?

Cobb:
They don't actually come into the dream. They just design the levels and teach them to the dreamers. That's all.

Miles:
Design it yourself.

Cobb:
Mal won't let me.

Miles:
...Come back to reality, Dom. Please.

Cobb:
Reality. Those kids, your grandchildren, they're waiting for their father to come back home. That's their reality. And this job, this last job, that's how I get there. I would not be standing here if I knew any other way...I need an architect who's as good as I was.

Miles:
I've got somebody better.
