Cobb : You got the basic layout. Bookstore, cafe, almost everything else is here too.
Ariadne : Who are the people?
Cobb : Projections of my subconscious.
Ariadne : Yours?
Cobb : Yes. Remember, you are the dreamer, you build this world. I am the subject, my mind populates it. You can literally talk to my subconscious. That's one of the ways we extract information from the subject.
Ariadne : How else do you do it?
Cobb : By creating something secure, like a bank vault or a jail. The mind automatically fills it with information it's trying to protect. Understand?
Ariadne : Then you break in and steal it?
Cobb : Well...
Ariadne : I guess I thought that the dream space would be all about the visual. But it's more about a feel of it. My question is what happens when you start messing with the physics of it all...? [ folds city on top of itself ]

[ creates a whole new location out of two mirrors ]
Cobb : Very impressive. [ notices Mal; flashback of himself and Mal on the same bridge ]

Ariadne : Yeah, I cross it everyday on the way to the college.
