[Cobb is extracting an idea from Saito's mind] [from behind Cobb]
Turn around.
M Mal
Put the gun down, Dom. [points her handgun at Arthur, her hostage] Please.
[Cobb slides his pistol across the table]
Now the envelope, Mr. Cobb.
Did she tell you? Or have you known all along?
That you are here to steal from me? Or that we are actually asleep? I want to know the name of your employer.
[Mal holds her gun to Arthur's head]
Ah, no use threatening him in a dream, right, Mal?
M Mal
That depends on what you're threatening. Killing him will just wake him up. But pain – [suddenly shoots Arthur in the knee] Pain is in the mind. And judging by the decor, we're in your mind, aren't we, Arthur?
[Cobb suddenly shoots Arthur in the head, waking him]
M Mal
[Ariadne has entered one of Cobb's hidden memories] [turning towards Ariadne]
What are you doing here?
[frightened]
My name is –
M Mal
I know who you are. What are you doing here?
I'm just trying to... understand.
M Mal
How could you understand? Do you know what it is to be a lover? To be half of a whole?
M Mal
I'll tell you a riddle: you're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where the train will take you? [she picks up a jagged wine glass]
[behind Ariadne]
Because you'll be together.
M Mal
[upset]
How could you bring her here, Dom?
This is the hotel suite where we used to spend our anniversary.
M Mal
[Mal suddenly dashes towards them, as Cobb and Ariadne throw themselves in the elevator]
You promised! You promised!
Please! I need you to stay in here! Just for now!
M Mal
You said we'd be together! You said we'd grow old together!
[starting the elevator]
I'll be back. I promise.
[After they awake in the real world]
Did you think that you could build a prison of memories to lock her in? Did you think you could contain her?
[Cobb finds his wife, Mal, sitting on a window ledge]
Sweetheart, what are you doing?
Just step back inside, alright? Just step back inside now, come on.
M Mal
No. I'm going to jump and you're coming with me.
No, I'm not. You listen to me: if you jump, you're not gonna wake up, remember? You're going to die. Now, just step back inside so we can talk about this.
M Mal
We've talked enough. [her slipper falls into the street below] Come out onto the ledge, or I'll jump right now.
Okay. We're gonna talk about this, alright?
M Mal
I'm asking you to take a leap of faith.
No, honey. I can't. You know I can't do that. Take a second and think about our children. Think about James. Think about Philipa.
M Mal
If I go without you, they'll take them away, anyway.
M Mal
I filed a letter with our attorney explaining how I'm fearful for my safety. How you've threatened to kill me.
Why would you do that? Why would you do this to me?
M Mal
I love you, Dom. I've freed you from the guilt of choosing to leave them. We're going home. To our real children.
No, no, no, Mal, you listen to me, alright? Mal, look at me, please!
M Mal
You're waiting for a train...
Mal, goddamn it! Don't do this!
M Mal
..A train that will take you far away..
James and Phillipa are waiting for you!
M Mal
..You know where you hope this train will take you,..
M Mal
..But you can't know for sure..
M Mal
..But it doesn't matter...because you'll be together.
Sweetheart, look at me! [Mal falls off the window ledge into the street below] Mal, No!! Jesus Christ!
