A line from Robert Fischer [handing his abductors his wallet; calmly]There's five hundred dollars in there. And the wallet's worth more than that. The least you could do is let me off at my stop.

"Browning" [Fischer and "Browning" are speaking after being kidnapped]
Those bastards have been at me for two days. They have someone with access to your father's office, and they're trying to open his safe. They thought I'd know the combination, but I don't know it.
Fischer Well, neither do I.
"Browning" What? Maurice [Fischer's father] told me that when he passed, you'd be the only one able to open it!
Fischer No, he never gave me any combination.
"Browning" Well, maybe he did. Maybe you just didn't know it was a combination.
Fischer Well, what, then?
"Browning" I don't know, some meaningful combination of numbers based on your experiences with Maurice.
Fischer [laughing]
We, um, we didn't have many "meaningful" experiences together.
"Browning" Perhaps after your mother died.
Fischer [sighs]
After my mother died, you know what he told me? "Robert, there's really nothing to be said."
"Browning" Well, he was bad with emotion.
Fischer [upset]
I was eleven, Uncle Peter.
Browning [Browning and Fischer are discussing Fischer senior's will]
It splits off the component businesses of Fischer-Morrow. It'd be the entire empire as we know it.
Fischer
Destroying my whole inheritance. Why would he suggest that, you think?
Browning I just don't know. He loved you, Robert. In his own way.
Fishcer
In his own way? At the end, he called me into his deathbed, and he could barely speak. But he took the trouble to tell me one last thing. He pulled me close, and I could only make out one word: "Disappointed".
[Fischer and Cobb are speaking in the hotel bar] [as "Mr. Charles"]
I specialize in a very specific type of security. Subconscious security.
Fischer Are you talking about dreams? Are you talking about extraction?
I am here to protect you... [the projections in the bar suddenly look at Cobb, and he glimpses images of his children through a window] ...Mr. Fischer, I am here to protect you in the event that someone tries to access your mind through your dreams. You're not safe here. They're coming for you. [rain suddenly begins pouring down outside] Strange weather, isn't it? You've actually been trained for this, Mr. Fischer. [chairs and glasses in the bar begin shifting sideways] Pay attention to the strangeness of the weather, the shift in gravity. None of this is real. You're in a dream. [the projections stare at Cobb again] Now, the easiest way for you to test yourself is to try and remember how you arrived at this hotel. Can you do that?
Fischer Yeah, I, uh... [looks confused]
Breathe, remember your training. Accept the fact that you're in a dream and I'm here to protect you. Go on.
Fischer You're not real?
No, no. [the projections ignore him again] I'm a projection of your subconscious. I was sent here to protect you in the event that extractors tried to pull you into a dream. And I believe that what's going on right now, Mr. Fischer.
Fischer Yeah, okay. Can you get me out of here?
Right away. Follow me.
Maurice Fischer
[in Robert Fischer's dream; on his deathbed]
Dis... disa... disap...
Fischer I know, Dad. I know you were disappointed that I couldn't be you.
Maurice Fischer
No. No, no. I was disappointed... that you tried.
