    Enhance your English listening and speaking skills by practicing with dialogues from the movie Inception. Learn authentic expressions and bring your English closer to real-life communication.

    Learning English is not only about mastering grammar and vocabulary, but more importantly about using it naturally in real-life contexts. However, sentences from textbooks are often too formal and quite different from everyday expressions. To speak authentic and natural English, you need exposure to real conversations. Here, we’ve selected high-frequency English expressions used in daily life, covering socializing, work, and travel scenarios, helping you break free from "textbook English" and learn how native speakers truly express themselves. Below is the content for this session of “Learn English through Movies – Inception CD1 05.” Keep practicing, and let your English get closer to real life!

    Somebody else is mine. My main competitor is an old man in poor health. If some were only harried control of the culprits. I need him to decide to break up his father's empire. God, we should walk away from this. If I were to do this, if I even could do it, I'd need a guarantee. How do I know you can deliver them? You don't. But I can. So, do you want to take a leap of faith? Or become an old man? Failed with regret, waiting to die alone. Assembly a team, Mr. Kong. And choose your people more wisely. I know much you want to go home. This can't be done. This again. It's have to go deep enough. You don't know that. I've done it before. What'd you do to it?

    I'll be going to Paris. We're gonna need a new architect. We're gonna need a new architect. We're gonna need a new architect. You never did like your office, did you? No space to think in that broom cupboard. Is it safe for you to be here? The extradition between France and the United States is a bureaucratic nightmare. You know that? I think they might find a way to make it work in your case. Look, I, uh, brought these for you to give the kids when you have a chance. It'll take more than the occasional stuff downable to convince those children they still have a father. I'm just doing what I know and doing what you taught me. I've never taught you to be a thief.

    Now, you taught me to navigate people's minds, but after what happened, there weren't a whole lot of legitimate ways for me to use that skill. What are you doing here, Tom? I think I found a way home. It's a job for some very, very powerful people, people who I believe can fix my charges permanently. But I need your help. You're here to corrupt one of my brightest and best. You know what I'm offering? You have to let them decide for themselves. Money. Not just money. You remember? It's the chance to build cathedrals and entire cities, things that never existed, things that couldn't exist in a real world. So you, you want me to let someone else follow you into your fantasy?

    They don't actually come into the dream. They just, they just design the levels and teach them that the dreamers, that's all. Designed yourself. Mom won't let me. Come back to reality, Tom. Please. Reality. Those kids, your grandchildren, they're waiting for their father to come back home. That's their reality. And this job, this last job, that's how I get there. I would not be standing here if I knew any other way. I need an architect who's as good as I was. I've got somebody better. Are you angry? I'd like you to meet Mr. Cobb. What is this meeting? If you have a few moments, Mr. Cobb has a job offer he'd like to discuss with you.

    Work, please, Mom. Not exactly. I have a test for you. You don't tell me anything about this, Chris? Before I describe the job, I have to know you can do it. Why? It's not strictly speaking legal. You have two minutes to design a maze that it takes one minute to solve. Stop. Again. Stop. You don't have to do better than that.
