《盗梦空间》台词

《盗梦空间》的经典台词备忘录

1. You're waiting for a train - a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope the train will take you, but you can't know for sure. But it doesn't matter, because we'll be together. - Cobb

2. 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.

- Cobb

3. Cobb: (Over the phone) How are you, huh? How are you doing?

James: Okay, I guess.

Cobb: Who's just okay? Is that you, James?

James: Yeah. Is Mommy with you?

Cobb: James, we talked about this. Mommy's not here anymore.

James: Where?

4. 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.

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

Professor: I never taught you to be a thief.

6. Cobb: You create the world of the dream, you bring the subject into that dream, and they fill it with their subconscious.

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?

Ariadne: We're dreaming?

Cobb: You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping. This is your first lesson in shared dreaming. Stay calm.

7,You mustn't be afraid to dream bigger ,darling

8. Arthur: So, a totem. It's a small object, potentially heavy, something you can have on you all the time...

Ariadne: What, like a coin?

Arthur: No, it has to be more unique than that, like - this is a loaded die.

(Ariadne reaches out to take the die)

Arthur: . 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.

9. 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.

- Cobb

10. Eames: Do they come here to sleep?

Thin Man: (Looking at Cobb) No, They come here to be woken up. Dream has become their reality! Who are you to say, otherwise?

11. Cobb: I will split up my father's empire. Now this is obviously an idea that Robert Fischer will choose to reject - which is why we need to plant it deep in his subconscious. Subconscious is fueled by emotion, right? Not reason. We need a find a way to translate this into an emotional concept.

Arthur: How do you translate a business strategy into an emotion?

Cobb: Well, that's what we're here to figure out, right? Now Fischer's relationship with his father is stressed, to say the least...

Eames: Well, can we run with that? Suggest splitting up the empire as a "screw-you" to the old man?

Cobb: No, cause I think positive emotion trumps negative emotion every time. We all crave reconciliation - we're catharsis. We need Robert Fischer to have a positive emotional reaction to all this.

Eames: Alright, well try this. My father accepts that I want to create for myself, not follow in his footsteps.

Cobb: That might work.

Arthur: Might? We're gonna need to do a little better than might.

Eames: Oh, thank you for your contribution, Arthur!

Arthur: Forgive me for wanting a little specificity.

(Eames appears confused at the word)

Arthur: Specificity?

12. Mal: What are you doing here?

Ariadne: My name is...

Mal: I know who you are. What are you doing here?
