Inception

A Risky Move in a Dream World

Ariadne What's happening?

Arthur Cobb's drawing Fischer's attention to the strangeness of the dream. Which is making his subconscious look for the dreamer. For me. Quick, give me a kiss.

[the projections begin staring at them; Arthur and Ariadne kiss]

Ariadne They're still looking at us.

[confused]

Arthur Yeah, it was worth a shot. We should probably get out of here.

X-Men: Days of Future Past

Time Travel and its Consequences Explained

Kitty Pryde Basically, your body will go to sleep while your mind travels back in time. As long as you're back there, past and present will continue to coexist. But once you wake up, whatever you've done will take hold and become history. And for the rest of us it'll be the only history that we know. It'll be like the last fifty years never happened. And this world, this war...the only person who will remember it is you. Alright, Logan, I need you to clear your head and to stay as calm as possible.

Wolverine What? What do you mean?

Kitty If your mind gets rocky it'll be harder for me to hold you. You could start to slip between past and future.

Wolverine What if I need to get a little rocky?

Kitty Think peaceful thoughts.

Wolverine Peaceful thoughts. You have any good news?

Kitty Well, you don't really age, so you'll pretty much look the same.

Iceman You won't have much time in the past, the Sentinels will find us. They always do.

Kitty And this time we won't be able to run, we'll have no escape. This is our last chance.

Consequences of Violence and Experience

Jeff Kohlver You're getting yourself in terrible trouble.

Hayley Stark Oh? Oh, and how's that?

Jeff Kohlver If you cut me in any way, you won't forget it. It changes you when you hurt somebody.

Hayley Stark Oh, and you speak from experience, I guess.

Jeff Kohlver I've just lived. Unlike you. The things you do wrong... they haunt you.

Hayley Stark Tell me what you're haunted by.

Jeff Kohlver Do you wanna remember this day when you're with a guy? On a date? Or on your wedding night? Cause I promise you you will. Don't do that to yourself.

Hayley Stark Wow... You know, that is so thoughtful! You are speaking to me so selflessly! I mean, you just don't want me to castrate you for my own benefit? Wow, I'm touched. Jeff, why don't we imagine someone saying the same thing to you at a random moment? Imagine that when you downloaded this little girl... I was sitting by your side saying "Stop! Don't do that to yourself!". Would you have listened?

Consequences of Guilt and Accountability

Jeff Kohlver Look, I'm not the monster you think I am. But, okay, I crossed a line. Just call the cops. I'll turn myself in.

Hayley Stark Cute Pedophile Pleads Guilty. Aww, it's not his fault. He's sick. He has an addiction.

[as if narrating a headline]

Jeff Kohlver I'll do jail. Isn't, isn't that what should happen?

Hayley Stark Yeah. You might. You might get jail time. I dunno: therapy, drugs, group discussions, notifying people when you move into a new house. How bad is that, really?

Jeff Kohlver It'll ruin my career, ruin my life.

Hayley Stark Well, didn't ] just win an Oscar?

Hard Candy

The Truth Behind First Impressions

Hayley Stark You really just don't look like the kind of guy who needs to meet girls over the internet.

Jeff Kohlver Well, I think it's better to meet people online first, sometimes. You get to know what they're like inside. When you work as a photographer, you find out real quick people's faces lie.

Hayley Stark Does my face lie?

Hard Candy

Power Dynamics and Dark Humor in Dialogue

Hayley Stark Turns out castration is one of the easiest surgical procedures around. There's thousands of farmboys across the country gelding their livestock. If they can do it, I think I can pull it off. If you know what I mean.

Jeff Kohlver I'm not fucking livestock.

Hayley Stark You keep telling yourself that, stud.

Hard Candy

Loneliness and Trust in Confrontation

Jeff Kohlver Look, look. I've been lonely, okay? And that makes me stupid, but I am not a pedophile. Look, this is some horrible mistake. Just untie me now and we'll forget this whole thing ever happened. Just untie me now!

[while tied to a chair]

Hayley Stark Okay, well you know what? I am not lonely and therefore not stupid. I untie you, you might understandably be a little peeved. So when I am ready to go, I'll call a cab and call another one to let you loose.

Jeff Kohlver And when will that be?

Hayley Stark I'm not sure yet.

Transition from Playfulness to Seriousness

Jeff Kohlver Why, uhh, why do I get, tied up first if, if this is how we're gonna play?

[shakes his head weakly as he awakes from a drug induced stupor]

Hayley Stark Jeff, playtime is over... Now it's time to wake up.

Nature vs. Nurture: A Personal Reflection

Jeff Kohlver Ah, so you and your mom are both wacked?

Hayley Stark I dunno. That's that whole nature versus nurture question, isn't it? Was I born a cute, vindictive little bitch or... did society make me that way? I go back and forth on that...

Understanding the Job's Legality

Cobb Before I describe the job, I have to know you can do it

Ariadne Why?

Cobb It's not, strictly speaking, legal.

Stalking and Connection in Digital Encounters

Jeff Kohlver You've been stalking me?

Hayley Stark Okay, okay, let's get something straight. You have been stalking me. I went into different chat rooms with different nicknames and you would get to know each one. And as soon as you found out they were any bit older than me you would just drop them like that. You took your time sniffing out someone my age.

Jeff Kohlver I didn't talk to the others because they were boring. You and I connected.

Hayley Stark Right.

[nodding sarcastically]

Jeff Kohlver Oh, come on, you think I faked all that?

Hayley Stark You know, actually, it's kinda funny. Because every time I would mention some obscure singer or band, you knew so much about them. But not right away, it was like a few minutes later. Maybe enough time to look them up on the web? Jeff, you used the same phrases about Goldfrapp as they do on Amazon.com. Busted! Oh and by the way, I fucking hate Goldfrapp.

Inception

The Nature of Dreaming and Memory

Cobb Let me ask you a question. 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...

[trails off]

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

The Odyssey

A Farewell Message to a Father

Questioning Sanity and Acceptance

Hayley Stark 4 out of 5 doctors agree that I am actually insane.

Inception

Understanding the Concept of a Kick

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 you get that jolts you awake. It snaps you out of the dream.

Hard Candy

The Art of Persuasion and Defiance

Jeff Kohlver I'm not going to beg you.

Hayley Stark You mean you're not going to beg again? Because you do it so well. "Please, pretty please with a cherry on top!"... One that you just had to pop.

Inception

The Risks of Revealing the Dream State

Ariadne Who or what is "Mr. Charles"?

Arthur It's a gambit designed to turn Fischer against his own subconscious.

Ariadne And why don't you approve?

Arthur Because it involves telling the mark that he's dreaming. Which involves attracting a lot of attention to us.

Ariadne Didn't Cobb say never to do that?

Arthur So now you've noticed how much time Cobb spends doing things he says never to do.

Ownership and Boundaries in Uninvited Situations

Jeff Kohlver Those letters are mine.

Hayley Stark Nothing's yours when you invite a teenager into your home.

Hard Candy

Confrontation of Perception and Reality

Jeff Kohlver Look, I'm a decent guy. Ask anyone. Go ahead. Ask these models. Call them; they'll tell you.

Hayley Stark Of course they will. You're not an idiot, Jeff. You don't piss where you live. Those girls were your work, and I, on the other hand, was your play.

Jeff Kohlver You were coming on to me!

Hayley Stark Oh, come on. That's what they always say, Jeff.

Jeff Kohlver Who?

Hayley Stark Who? The pedophiles! "Oh, she was so sexy. She was asking for it. She was only technically a girl, she acted like a woman." It's just so easy to blame a kid, isn't it? Just because a girl knows how to imitate a woman, does NOT mean she's ready to do what a woman does! I mean, you're the grown-up here. If a kid is experimenting and says something flirtatious, you ignore it, you don't encourage it. If a kid says "Heeey, let's make Screwdrivers!", you take the alcohol away and you don't race them to the next drink!

[pause]

Inception

Creating New Realities in Dreamscapes

Cobb Never re-create places from your memory. Always imagine new places.

Ariadne You gotta draw from stuff you know, right?

Cobb Only use details. A streetlamp or a phone booth, Never entire areas.

Ariadne Why not?

Cobb Building a dream from your memory is the easiest way to lose your grasp on what's real and what is a dream.
