Okay this is all random but I re-watched, like, the first 15 minutes of Inception.
And I noticed some things about these lines:
“I choose to leave, sir.”
Cobb to Saito. Hehe. Cobb calls Saito sir, probably out of respect? Since, you know. He's basically telling Saito to go fuck himself. :D But softening the blow by adding the sir. So Cobb isn't afraid to say no but he isn't foolish enough to risk a lion's wrath while he's in its den.
“My main competitor.”
Saito regarding Fischer. My main competitor. Saito is the head bitch in charge, baby.
“I need him to decide to break up his father’s empire.”
Saito regarding the Inception of Robert Fischer. I. I. Yep, definitely the head bitch in charge.
“Assemble your team, Mr Cobb.”
Saito to Cobb. So Saito knows that extraction requires a team, but he probably doesn't know enough of the extraction business side of the dream technology that he'd assumed Cobb was the dreamer ("You see, Mr Saito, we're in my dreams" uh, paraphrasing, but yeah Nash says that), just because he's more infamous than Arthur or Nash. UNLESS. Saito had known Cobb as an architect as well as an extractor, but then Cobb stopped being architect after Mal's death? Hmnmnmnmn.
“I gotta go visit Eames.”
Cobb to Arthur about Eames. He says visit. He doesn't say, I gotta go get Eames. Or something along those lines. He says visit. Another sign of respect, maybe? A visit is something made out of courtesy. So Eames doesn't owe him anything or Cobb doesn't consider himself more important than Eames that, you know, he goes to Mombasa for a visit. Meaning, he doesn't know yet if Eames will take the job or not. Also, this makes me think about how Arthur says, "He's in Mombasa", followed later by, "That's Cobol's backyard" and Cobb's "It's a necessary risk". It sounds more like Arthur's reminding Cobb that it's gonna be way risky to sneak into Mombasa rather than Arthur informing Cobb where Eames is.
...Random thoughts, random thoughts.
