Le Géant: I will tell you three things. If I tell them to you, and they come true, then will you believe me?
Cooper: Who’s that?
Le Géant: Think of me as a friend.
Cooper: Where do you come from?
Le Géant: The question is, where have you gone? The first thing I will tell you is: there is a man in a smiling bag.
Cooper: Man in a smiling bag.
Le Géant: The second thing is: the owls are not what they seem. The third thing is: without chemicals, he points.
Cooper: What do these things mean?
Le Géant: This is all I’m permitted to say. Give me your ring. I will return it to you when you find these things to be true. We want to help you.
Cooper: Who’s « we »?
Le Géant: One last thing: Leo’s locked inside a hungry horse. There is a clue at Leo’s house. You will require medical attention.
