okay americans i gotta ask because as an European i grew up with lots of american shows and cartoons and in a lot of them there was an episode where they give the protags a doll or an egg or a bag of flour or whatever and told them pretend to be its parents or something

#thank fuck i never had to do it #as i have no motherly instinct whatsoever

Cobb: “you?” Arthur: “Stateside.” Cobb: “Send my regards.”

Nolan, probably: this counts as character development. We are implying Arthur has someone waiting for him there. No, we will not elaborate
