Ariadne: “You going under on your own?”
Cobb: “No, uh… Just running some experiments. I didn’t realize anyone was here.”
Ariadne: “Yeah, I was working on my totem actually.”
Cobb: “Here, let me take a look.”
Ariadne: shakes her head.
Cobb: “So you’re learning.”
Ariadne: “An elegent solution for keeping track of reality. Was it your idea?”
Cobb: “It was Mal’s actually. This one was her’s. She’d spin it in a dream and it would never topple. It would just spin and spin.”
Ariadne: “Arthur told me she passed away.”
Cobb: “How are the mazes coming along?”

Until next time,
Taylor

Arthur: “Hey hey look at me, you’re ok, you’re ok.”
Ariadne: “Why, why wouldn’t I wake up?”
Arthur: “Because there was still some time on the clock and you can’t wake up within the dream unless you die.”
Cobbe: “She’ll need a totem.”
Ariadne: “WHAT?”
Arthur: “A small personal …”
Ariadne: “That’s some subconcious you’ve got on you Cobbe. She’s a real charmer.”
Arthur: “Oh, I see you’ve met Mrs. Cobbe.”
Ariadne: “She’s his wife?”
Arthur: “Yeah. So, a totem. You need a small object, potentially heavy, something you can have on you that no else knows.”
Ariadne: “Like a coin?”
Arthur: “Nooo… needs to be more unique than that. Like, this is a loaded die. I can’t let you touch it, that would defeat the purpose – you see, only I know the balance and the weight of this particular loaded die. That way, when you look at your totem, you know beyond a doubt that you’re not in someone elses dream.”
