tomhardy: hello?

tomhanson: oh fantastic.

tomhardy: bonjour arthur.

tomhanson: eames.

tomhardy: you know, i've been thinking.

tomhanson: you've been thinking?

tomhardy: oh ha, bloody, ha.

tomhardy: anyway, i've been thinking, we all have the strangest names.

tomhanson: how do you mean?

tomhardy: well, think about it. cobb. eames. ariadne and yusuf.

tomhanson: so?

tomhardy: so! those names are not normal!

tomhanson: normality isn't really our style eames.

tomhardy: fair enough, but i'm just saying our names are a little odd.

tomhanson: mine isn't! arthur is a perfectly normal name.

tomhardy: yeah...but...

tomhanson: but what?

tomhardy: arthur isn't exactly the coolest name in the world.

tomhanson: what? arthur is a perfectly nice name.

tomhardy: yeah, but it's not as cool as eames.

tomhanson: you're insane.

tomhardy: maybe, but at least i have a cool name.

tomhanson: eames isn't even your proper name!

tomhardy: even cooler.

tomhanson: i didn't pick my name.

tomhardy: obviously not.

tomhanson: can we talk about something else?

tomhardy: sure. you're off to paris tonight, yes?

tomhanson:...yes?

tomhardy: nervous?

tomhanson: no. eames, i have been on dates before.

tomhardy: sure, sure. ;)

tomhardy: anyway, i'm a tad confused.

tomhanson: about?

tomhardy: well, how am i going to annoy you, when you're in paris?

tomhanson: you don't annoy me when i'm in paris. that's one of the reasons of my going.

tomhardy: am i really that replusive?

tomhanson: are you really asking me that?
