"Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great." -Mark Twain

I like Mark Twain. I mean beyond reading Tom Sawyer cover to cover at least ten times as a kid, I think he was a smart guy. Even though I hear he was terrible at keeping his money, I don't really think that's any indication of success anyway, although my father would

A cast insinuates we're part of some kind of bigger performance. The way things happen here feels too disorganized for that.

[ OR, just too disorganized for arthur...

And a pause ]

Kenny, right?

[ Translation: I don't remember you, but you've talked enough to Eames and Ariadne that at least I know your name. ]

Hi, Arthur.

Hi.

There's a method to the madness.

a u d i o ][

[chosered]

Pattern.

With the curses, you mean.

[ Prior to all manner of ridiculous situations he's gotten himself into, Arthur did triple-time on the research as best he could. Some things are more obvious than others and the network is a better archive than he frankly was hoping for in such a bizarre place. ]

Re: a u d i o ][

Which friend are we talking about?

[ What friend? he figures, is the wrong question. ]

a u d i o ][

[specifics]

[ Note to self: remind Eames the idea is to not make things more difficult than they already are here. Or something. ]

Well, are you going to?

[chosered]

[A laugh]

No. But I need some time to write it up.

a u d i o ][

[specifics]

Fair enough.

[ Pause. ]

Were you going to do a write-up anyway?

[ Doing so for a stranger and without pay, for Arthur, seems like rather going out of one's way. But then, that's just him maybe. ]

[chosered]

No, I wasn't.

[Except Kenny might be a stranger to Arthur, but Arthur is not a stranger to Kenny]
