I also assumed Moll.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, thank god it wasn't just me.
But he pronounces it sort of in the middle of the two languages so I put it down to that.
Plus, his two kids had such British sounding names that at a certain point I began to wonder if she was even supposed to be French.

Oh, so here's another question which may have been answered by the credits but I didn't notice.
Is Michael Caine Cobb's father or Mal's father?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
They don't have surnames in IMDB, so that doesn't help.

I guess I assumed that a man with an English accent would be more likely to have a French daughter, but then I read a review or a comment somewhere that referred to him as Cobb's father. I think to me, the relationship's much more interesting if Cobb basically killed his daughter.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I definitely thought he was Moll's father, but I'm not sure why I thought that. I definitely thought her name was Moll.

I assumed he was Cobb's father, and that he had raised Cobb with the dream skills. I thought there was some reference to that in their conversation.

I also thought he was Mal's father, and that her name was Moll. I agree with Dana, but I've seen different reviews say different things, with authority.

Okay, putting actual thought into it now, I guess I also figured that Michael Caine had Cobb as a student and taught him how to architect dreams. If that's a verb. Which it probably shouldn't be.

I'm pretty sure he calls him his father in law.
