“He’s looking for something.” Eames chuckles. “Oh, Arthur. No.” “Metaphorically, Eames. He isn’t actually expecting the river bed to answer his life’s problems—I don’t know how you solve your troubles.” “I usually just fuck him senseless.” “I hate you so much.” “But seriously,” Eames sounds earnest, “he isn’t troubleshooting; look at the slump of his shoulders. The man’s upset. Heartbroken, judging by the fact that according to his schedule, he should be with his mistress.” “Ah.” “Brilliant. Gives me an opening for the extraction. You know what Cobb says about catharsis.” “I love when you’re competent.” Eames smirks. “I know.”
