Eames says, “I wouldn’t open it.”
“Why not?” asks Arthur. The box is addressed to him, from Saito.
“An unexpected package from Saito. It could always be a poison fish.”
“It’s never going to be a poison fish.”
“You’ll say that until the moment when it’s a poison fish. And then it’ll be too late. It’s addressed only to you.”
“Is that why you think it’s a poison fish?”
“It’s fishy.”
“That was terrible. Stop talking.” Arthur opens the package, and smiles at the contents.
“A poison fish?” asks Eames.
“A menorah,” says Arthur, delighted, reading the note. Happy Hanukkah.
