Please, I can handle them myself, Mr. Eames. It sounds suspiciously like you're trying to come to my rescue.
Generally, I don't make friends with people in our business. It's better if there's a line between personal and professional. And I don't know if you've noticed, but dreamshare people aren't exactly trustworthy.
You're interested in being on top? Somehow, I knew.
Hey, I work with you more frequently, you're only moderately exempt from "untrustworthy character" status. They think I work with corporate research, high end NDAs. Not too far off from the mark.
If I said, it would just sound like boasting. It's better as a demonstration.
How rude. I'll have you know I'm very in demand socially. Though my occupation depends on who you ask. If we're going by majority, they believe I'm old money and don't have to work.
[In that amount of time, Eames had thought that Arthur had grown tired of the conversation altogether and had decided to stop humoring him. So he was a bit surprised when Arthur texted him back, and for a moment, he wondered if he had to actually consult his records.]
You really had to think long and hard for the answer, didn't you? That's a sign you're overdue.

How you wound me. So what do you tell your friends it is you do, exactly?

Such high praise from you Arthur, I'm not sure what to do with it. And surprisingly no, that's a decent cover.
no subject
Yeah well, don't get too comfortable with it. Do your friends know what you do?
Wait, you do have friends, right?

Are you old money? I feel like that was in your files somewhere, though I know that could be a load of shit.
no subject
It depends on what you intend to do with this information and what turns your crank more.
no subject
Idle curiosity; you know I don't sell information. Also you being rich wouldn't turn my crank, I've got enough to retire as it is.

When was the last time you weren't working a job or waiting for one to begin?
no subject
In fact, it's at least 20 minutes before Eames gets a response, because he literally had to dig his calendar up. ]
...About three years ago, I think?
