[chesstotem]

i really don't think we should do it again arthur

[Sob Ariadne knows. SHE KNOWS.]

[specifythepoint]

why?

[chesstotem]

[Goddammit.]

because the potential repercussions are just too huge. it feels too much like playing god

[specifythepoint]

and that's why i need to know what's going on with fischer

[chesstotem]

i guess. but i still don't think it's something we should make a habit of. besides, i doubt anyone else is going to manage it anytime soon.

[Someday, someday maybe she'll tell him. He won't thank her for it, though.]

[specifythepoint]

we don't even attempt it for less than a million

[chesstotem]

*apiece* i would think. and the idea - the idea is the key.

[specifythepoint]

we'd need a bigger team, anyway. and i can't exactly invite zatanna along.

[chesstotem]

yeah something tells me z would have some issues with it. do you even think we could do it without cobb?

[specifythepoint]

cobb's good, but eames and i are the best at what we do. we could manage without cobb, if we had another extractor.

[chesstotem]

so what you think any halfway decent extractor could manage everything cobb did? and i hope you don't think *i'm* that disposable.

[specifythepoint]

i didn't say that

and what cobb did was possibly the most dangerous and stupid thing any extractor could do

[chesstotem]

you have no idea arthur, you really don't

[specifythepoint]

i have no idea how talented cobb is? or how dangerous?

[Dangerous ground, Ariadne]

[chesstotem]

no, nevermind.

[Ugh god she can't tell Arthur, Cobb never did, nothing would ever possibly give her the right to tell him. But damn it's tough keeping such a huge thing from him.]

[specifythepoint]

anyway. don't worry about fischer. just be cautious.

[chesstotem]

oh, always. thanks arthur. don't let z wear you to the bone. actually don't let *yourself* wear you to the bone.

[specifythepoint]

zatanna's not really interested in working me to the bone

[chesstotem]

yeah that's why i corrected myself.

and actually i don't want you doing anything really fun without me, so maybe you should be just working

[specifythepoint]

the next trip i take you'll come along

[chesstotem]

yeah? can i get that in writing? or i guess just an "i promise ariadne you get to come along next time"?

[specifythepoint]

i don't break my promises. ask eames about the time i promised to shoot him.

[chesstotem]

oh yeah? do i get to know where? kneecap?

[specifythepoint]

it's the most painful place a person can get shot.

[chesstotem]

is that scientifically verifiable?
