| Plot: | Danny Ocean is a thief who has just been paroled from prison. He seeks out his partner, Rusty and he has a job. And it is to rob the vault that houses the cash of three casinos in Las Vegas. And he plans to rob it on a night when 150 million is in it. So they recruit nine guys and they begin to put Ocean's plan in motion. Everything is going well until Rusty discovers that Ocean's ex-wife, Tess is the main squeeze of Terry Benedict the (ruthless) owner of the casinos. Rusty asks him what is he going to do if he has to choose. But Ocean says that if his plan goes smoothly, he is going to be able to have his cake and eat it. |

Goofs
|
Continuity: Walsh escorts Frank out of the building while simultaneously watching the monitors in the security room with Saul. Continuity: The chips in the pot at the card game change continually throughout the scene. Continuity: When Rusty walks back into the poker room from the bar, the knot of his tie changes from the bar to the poker room. Crew: The camera and operator are reflected in the narrow mirror at Reuben Tishkoff's house as the gang discusses the robbery. Continuity: In the scene where Linus and Rusty are waiting for Tess to come down the escalator, the food in Rusty's hand changes from a schooner of shrimp cocktail, to a plate, then back to a schooner. SYNC: When Virgil and Turk bump into each other in the casino and start "arguing", their mouths don't move. (Visible only in full screen version.) Continuity: When they try to convince Reuben to join the team, the first shot from behind him shows him picking up a fork, but in the next shot his hands are gesturing in front of him. Continuity: As Danny is going up the escalator in Trump Plaza, his jacket is buttoned closed. In the next shot, the jacket is open. Continuity: In the race between the Big truck and the radio controlled little truck, the position of the tires relative to the start line changes between scene cuts. Continuity: Chain attached to briefcase is longer when in the vault then when it is transferred to Saul. When Yen opens money cart in vault and briefcase slides off, the chain is longer and the briefcase goes a lot further over the side of the cart. Continuity: SPOILER: When Danny leaves prison after his probation violation and meets Rusty, he is wearing the tuxedo he was arrested in and has an untied bow tie. The location of the untied bow tie changes several times. Continuity: At the beginning of the transportation scene the car salesman has two pens in his jacket pocket, then he only has one in the next scene. He then shakes Frank Catton's hand and they again show him having two pens. After he makes a deal for $16,000 they show him with only one pen. (not visible in widescreen version) Continuity: When Turk is racing Virgil's R/C truck, the raceway that they are on is a rounded track. But in shots from the back of the truck race appear, they are racing on a long desert road. CHAR: When Terry Benedict asks his employee if there is anything for him (in the high rollers room), he responds that Mr. Zerga in the third position (of the baccarat game) wants to talk to him. Mr. Zerga is actually sitting in the first position originally when speaking to the other player at the table. However, when the camera pans back to look at the table it appears that Mr. Zerga is in the center of the table facing the Dealer and the other player would be in the 5th position now (He was originally sitting in the 3rd position when talking to Mr. Zerga.) In the scene where Danny meets Linus in Chicago, Danny refers to Las Vegas as "America's Playground." In fact, that designation belongs to Atlantic City, which was known by this nickname for many years before Las Vegas became a gambling center. Las Vegas has never marketed itself as "America's Playground." Revealing mistakes: When Mr. Benedict tells the security guy to cut the power, you can see the power go off on the computer screen a few seconds before the security guy presses the button on the computer. Continuity: When Yen back-flips onto the cabinet in the vault he over-leaps and his body goes over the edge. In the next shot, from behind the cabinet, his body is on the cabinet and his legs are over the edge. Continuity: The surveillance camera in the vault changes its angle to show the 'Bellagio' sign only in the shot just before "Livingston Dell" switches to the recorded tape. PLOT: The DVD commentary admits that there was no way in which all the flyers that were carried out of the casino and driven to the airport could have been in the vault. Continuity: Turk races Virgil's R/C truck on a cloudy day. But as Turk crushes Virgil's truck, we see sunshine. As Turk leaves Virgil's truck in a crumpled heap, the sky is cloudy again. GEOG: During the scene in which Danny explains the security of the Bellagio vault a map is displayed on the screen which shows a portion of the Las Vegas strip. It is incorrect in that it places the MGM Grand casino in the place where the Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood) casino should be. If the MGM Grand were placed in its correct position, it would be partially off the screen. Fact errors: SPOILER: When Danny gets arrested after the heist, we see that he was sent to New Jersey Department of Corrections. However, for a "3 to 6 month" stay, he would have been held in a county/regional jail, rather than a prison. Continuity: The shot before Linus pickpockets the stock broker, he is holding the pen with the tip in his mouth. But in the up close shot, he has the pen in his mouth horizontally. Continuity: In the scene where Livingston tells Danny that guards will be watching him like hawks with video cameras, you can see Reuben removing the cigar and blowing smoke out of his mouth. But in the next above-shot, you can see the cigar magically appear in his mouth again and he removes it and blows out smoke again. CHAR: Danny Ocean says that Nevada Gaming Commission regulations require casinos to have enough cash in their vaults to cover every cent in play on the floor. In fact, no such regulation exists. Fact errors: The $100 dollar bill is currently the largest US note in circulation (and has been since the sixties). One million dollars in $100 bills (10,000 notes) weighs about 22 pounds according to the US Treasury Dept web site. Therefore $160MM dollars would weight about 3,520 pounds. There is no way eight people could carry that much weight in canvas bags in one trip from the vault to the SWAT van. Continuity: In the scene before Rusty discovers that Tess is involved, he is speaking with Linus and holding a plate of shrimp. In the next shot, when he's witnessing Tess walk down the stairs, it's become a shrimp cocktail. Fact errors: EMPs don't work that way, even assuming you could find one smaller than a living room. An EMP scrambles the positive and negatively charged layers of a transistor so they no longer gate an electrical impulse, effectively turning solid state devices into lumps of metal. There is no unscrambling, all electronics would be dead forever. If Las Vegas was blacked out by a "pinch" it would stay blacked out till every piece of apparatus that used transistors was replaced. Planes would fall out of the sky, hospital patients would die, it would be an act of terror dwarfing 9/11. The only electronics still working would be the kind that still use tubes - die-hard stereo fanatics (the kind that still play records) and old-time ham radio operators. Of course there'd be no electricity. Continuity: In one of the scenes Pitt has a wine glass of a shrimp cocktail, and in another it changes to a plate with a shrimp cocktail whiskey glass. Continuity: SPOILER: At the end, when the men are saying their goodbyes, we see Reuben Tishkoff leaving twice. Continuity: In the scene when the casino vault's doors were blown, Danny and Linus had their hair in a mess, but in the next shot their are perfectly combed. Crew: When Linus gets out of the white van to go join the rest of the crew stealing the Pinch, the camera takes a shot including Linus walking towards the door and the rear right side of the van. In the reflection off the side of the van, 4 crew members are visible sitting down. Continuity: During the scene in the elevator shaft when the power is out, Danny and Linus crack glow sticks to be able to see. In the close up you can see they only cracked them half way. When it cuts to the bottom of the shaft the whole glow sticks are lit up. Continuity: In the scene where Rusty is convincing Sol to become a member of the team at the dog races, an African-American couple can be seen in the background walking across the scene in the same direction twice in two consecutive shots. Continuity: When Linus has just been hauled out of the elevator, one shot shows him take off his white jacket and in the next shot, he takes it off again at the same time as Danny. SYNC: When they place Danny in the private room with Bruiser, they are chit-chatting at a normal volume, which leads us to believe that it is a soundproof room. However, later on when Bruiser is faking beating Danny up, they show the two guards on the outside hearing Bruiser hit is fist and make moaning sounds. If they could hear that, they would have been able to hear the whole earlier conversation. Continuity: When Linus opens the top of the elevator to discover Danny looking down at him, he jumps in surprise. A shot from Danny's view shows him jumping into a corner, meaning the elevator is only as wide as the hole Danny is looking through. But when Danny pulls Linus up through the hole, a shot from inside the elevator shows that it is actually wider. CHAR: SPOILER: During Benedict's flashback, there is a close-up of Danny Ocean dropping a cellphone into Tess' coat pocket during an embrace. However, during the actual event Ocean's hand never drops, holding her right arm during the entire embrace. CHAR: The explanation of the meaning of "Barney" as "trouble" (from "Barney Rubble") is false because this cockney expression for "row" pre-dates "The Flintstones" (1960). Revealing mistakes: When Yen is doing the real job you can see that his foot hit the laser without setting the alarm. CHAR: SPOILER: Danny supposed to get a really bad beating. But when Benedict goes to see him after he's been robbed, Danny is hardly out of breath, there's not a mark on him and only his shirt is no longer tucked in, yet Benedict and the two guards don't find this at all suspicious. CHAR: Linus ('Matt Damon' (qv)), while posing as the gaming agent, pronounces "Nevada" as Nev-AH-da. In reality, anyone living in the state would pronounce it correctly, as Nev-AD-a. PLOT: When the pinch goes off, it should have rendered the cell phone in Tess's coat pocket unusable. |

Bartender: [over the noise in the background] How's the game going? Rusty: Longest hour of my life. Bartender: [not hearing him] What? Rusty: I'm running away with your wife. Bartender: Great! [He grins and flashes Rusty a thumbs-up] Danny: Now, they tell me I paid my debt to society. Tess: Funny, I never got a check. Rusty: You'd need at least a dozen guys doing a combination of cons. Danny: Like what, do you think? Rusty: Off the top of my head, I'd say you're looking at a Boeski, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever. Reuben: You guys are pros. The best. I'm sure you can make it out of the casino. Of course, lest we forget, once you're out the front door, you're still in the middle of the fucking desert! Danny: You remember the day I went out for cigarettes and didn't come back? You must have noticed. [goes to sit down] Tess: I don't smoke. Don't sit! Saul: Tess is with Benedict now? She's too tall for him! [last minute tips for Linus] Rusty: You look down, they know you're lying and up, they know you don't know the truth. Don't use seven words when four will do. Don't shift your weight, look always at your mark but don't stare, be specific but not memorable, be funny but don't make him laugh. He's got to like you then forget you the moment you've left his side. And for God's sake, whatever you do, don't, under any circumstances... Livingston: Rus? Rusty: Yeah? Livingston: Come look at this? Rusty: Sure. Rusty: Did someone call for a doctor? [On the phone] Terry: Who the hell is this? Rusty: The man who's robbing you! [last lines] [Danny has just got out of jail] Danny: Hi! Tess: Hi. We need to get Rusty a girl. Rusty: There's a women's prison down the road. Danny: [noticing Tess is wearing her wedding ring] You said that you sold this. Tess: I said that. Danny: Liar. Tess: Thief. [they kiss] [his only line in English] Yen: Where the fuck you been? Terry: All right, you proved your point. You broke into my vault. Congratulations, you're a dead man. [pretending the Nevada Gaming Commission is racist] Frank: They might as well call it whitejack! Turk Malloy: I'm gonna get out of the car and drop you like third period French. Rusty: You scared? Linus: You suicidal? Rusty: Only in the morning. Danny: Ten oughta do it, don't you think? Rusty: [Stares of in silence, not looking at Danny] Danny: You think we need one more? Rusty: [Silence] Danny: You think we need one more. Rusty: [Silence] Danny: All right, we'll get one more. Rusty: [Blinks] Danny: Does he make you laugh? Tess: He doesn't make me cry. Danny: Thirteen million and you drive this piece of shit cross country to pick me up? Rusty: Blew it all on the suit. Rusty: The Bellagio and the Mirage. These are Terry Benedict's places. Danny: Yes they are. You think he'll mind? Rusty: More than somewhat. Danny: There's a ninety-five pound Chinese man with a hundred sixty million dollars behind this door. Linus: Let's get him out. Danny: It's never been tried. Reuben: Ho, ho... "It's never been tried." It's been tried. A few guys even came close. You know the three most successful robberies in the history of Vegas? [flashback - the gaming room at the Horseshow, in black-and-white] Reuben: [voiceover] Number three, the Bronze Medal - pencil-neck grabs a lockbox at the Horseshoe... [a man grabs a lockbox out of a guard's hand and runs for the door, and six guards instantly tackle him to the floor] Reuben: He got two steps closer to the door than any living soul before him. [cut to the present] Reuben: Second most successful robbery... [flashback - the gaming room at the Flamingo, in grainy color. A long-haired man is running for the door, clutching a bag] Reuben: The Flamingo in '71. This guy actually tasted fresh oxygen before they grabbed him. [the man gets within a few feet of the door, before a guard smashes him across the face with a nightstick] Reuben: Of course, he was breathing out of a hose for the next three weeks. Goddamn hippy. [back to the present] Reuben: And the *closest* any man has ever come to robbing a Las Vegas casino... [flashback - outside Caesar's Palace, in color. A man runs out, hunched over an armful of cash, followed by three security guards] Reuben: Was outside of Caesar's in '87. He came, he grabbed... [the three guards shoot the thief in the back] Reuben: They conquered. [Basher's original plan for knocking out the casino's power has flopped] Basher: Hang on a minute, hang on... we could use a pinch. Danny: What's a "pinch"? Basher: A pinch is a device which creates, like, a cardiac arrest for any broadband electrical circuitry. Better yet, a pinch is a bomb - now, but without the bomb. See, when a nuclear weapon detonates, it unleashes an electromagnetic pulse which shuts down any power source within its blast radius. Now that tends not to matter in most cases, because the nuclear weapon usually destroys anything you might need power for anyway. But see, a pinch creates a similar electromagnetic pulse, but without the fuss of mass destruction and death. So instead of Hiroshima, you'd be getting the seventeenth century. Reuben: Look, we all go way back and uh, I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place and I'll never forget it. Danny: That was our pleasure. Rusty: I'd never been to Belize. Danny: Why do they always paint hallways that color? Rusty: They say taupe is very soothing. Danny: Saul, are you sure you're ready to do this? Saul: If you ever ask me that question again Daniel, you will not wake up the following morning. Danny: He's ready. Danny: Tess, you're doing a great job curating the museum, the Vermeer is quite good, simple, vibrant, but his work definitely fell off as he got older. Tess: Remind you of anyone? Danny: And I always confuse Monet and Manet. Now which one married his mistress? Tess: Monet. Danny: Right, and then Manet had syphilis. Tess: They also painted occasionally. Tess: You're a thief and a liar. Danny: I only lied about being a thief, I don't do that anymore. Tess: Steal? Danny: Lie. Tess: I'm with someone who doesn't have to make that kind of distinction. Danny: No, he's very clear on both. Tess: You know what your problem is? Danny: I only have one? Rusty: Tell me this is not about her, or I am walking. I am walking off this job right now. Danny: Who? Rusty: Tess. Terry Benedict. Tell me this is not about screwing the guy who's screwing your wife. Danny: Ex-wife. Rusty: Tell me. Danny: It's not about that. [pause] Danny: It's not entirely about that. [Rusty turns away, furious] Danny: Russ, do you remember what we said back when we first got into this business. We said we were gonna play the game... Danny, Rusty: Like we had nothing to lose. Danny: Well, I lost something... I lost someone. That's why I'm here. [long pause] Rusty: Okay, here's the problem ? we're stealing two things. And when push comes to shove, and you can't have both, which are you gonna choose? And remember - Tess does not split eleven ways! Reuben: If you're gonna steal from Terry Benedict, you'd better goddamn KNOW. This sorta thing used to be civilized, you'd hit a guy, he'd whack you, done. But with Benedict... at the end of this, he'd BETTER not know you're involved, not know your names or think you're dead because he'll kill ya, and then he'll go to work on ya. Danny: That's why we're going to be very careful. Very precise Rusty: Yeah, well-funded. Reuben: Yeah. Ya gotta be NUTS, too. And you're gonna need a crew as NUTS as you are! [pause] Reuben: So who've you got in mind? [first lines] [At Parole Hearing] Woman's Voice: Good Morning. Danny: Morning. Woman's Voice: Please state your name for the record. Danny: Daniel Ocean. [masquerading as an A.T.F. agent, Rusty shoves Basher against a police car, pretending to search him] Rusty: [under his breath] Hey, Bash. Basher: Hey, Russ. Rusty: How fast can you put something together from what I just slipped you? Basher: It's done. [Rusty lifts up Basher, and they slowly leave the crime scene] Basher: Hey, is Danny about? Rusty: Yeah, he's waiting around the corner. Basher: Oh, that's terrific! It will be nice working with proper villains again. Rusty: [turns and shouts] Everybody down, now! [they break into a run as explosions rock the crime scene] Basher: Ha-ha-ha! They weren't expecting that shit! Rusty: Nice work. Basher: Oh, thank you. Danny: Second task, power - on the night of the fight, we're gonna throw the switch on Sin City. Basher, it's your show. Basher: You want broke, blind, or bedlam? Danny: How about all three? Basher: Right, it's done. [while reconnoitering the casinos] Virgil Malloy: [makes a note] Leaving at 2:44. Turk Malloy: 2:46, get a watch that works. Rusty: Saul, you're the best there is. What do you want? Saul: Nothing. I've got a duplex now, wall-to-wall, goldfish. I'm seeing a nice lady who works the "Unmentionables" counter at Macy's. I've changed. Rusty: Guys like us don't change, Saul. We either stay sharp or we get sloppy, we don't change. Basher: Window or aisle, boys? Yeah, we're in deep shit! Basher: That poxy demo crew haven't used a coaxial feed to batten the main line, have they? Instead they've gone and nosed up the backup grid, nosed it right up! Reuben: [to Livingston] Do you understand any of this? Livingston: I'll explain later. Topher Grace: Hey Rus, let me ask you a question. Are you incorporated? Well, if not you should really think about it cos I was talking to my manager... Rusty: Bernie? Topher Grace: No, not Bernie, my business manager. You know what? They're both named Bernie. Anyway, he was saying that because what we do here is kind of like research for a future like gig or whatever I can totally make it a tax write off. The only thing is I'd have to pay you by check. [Rusty stops and looks at him] Topher Grace: Or we could stick to cash [Rusty nods] You know what? Yeah, let's just stick to cash. Reuben: I know more about casino security than any man alive, I invented it, and it cannot be beaten. They got cameras, they got locks, they got watchers, they got timers, they got vaults, they got enough armed personnel to occupy Paris! [pause] Reuben: Okay, bad example. [sitting in a surveillance van with two FBI agents] FBI Man #2: Let's see if we can zoom in on that guy... FBI Man #1: Yeah. [he reaches for the camera controls] Livingston: Don't - don't - d-don't... Don't touch that. FBI Man #1: Why not? Livingston: Uh, do you see me grabbing the gun out of your holster and just waving it around? [watching Linus trapped on the upper floor by security guards] Virgil Malloy: Shouldn't someone help him? Basher: Oh, that's a good idea, Rabbit. Let's hop out of the van and we can all get nicked! Rusty: Saul, turn that off, will you? Saul: [in fake accent] I'll turn it off when I'm ready to... Rusty: Saul! Saul: [normal voice] It's off, it's off! Basher: So unless we intend to do this job in Reno, we're in barney. [everyone pauses] Basher: Barney Rubble. [they look bewildered] Basher: Trouble! Rusty: [on Danny walking out of prison in a loosened black-tie suit] I hope you were the Groom. Danny: [on Rusty's attire for picking him up from prison] Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back. Turk Malloy: Watch it, bud. Virgil Malloy: Who you calling bud, pal? Turk Malloy: Who you calling pal, friend? Virgil Malloy: Who you calling friend, jackass? Turk Malloy: Don't call me a jackass. Virgil Malloy: I just did call you a jackass. Danny: [holds up a black wallet] Hello Linus. Whose is this? Linus: Who are you? Danny: A friend of Bobby Caldwell's. [produces a plane ticket] You're either in or you're out. Right now. Linus: What is it? Danny: It's a plane ticket. A job offer. Linus: You're pretty trusting pretty fast. Danny: Well Bobby has a lot of faith in you. Linus: Fathers are like that. [while they are watching a dozen Chinese acrobats at a circus] Danny: Which one is the amazing Yen? Rusty: He's the little Chinese guy. [Shaking Billy Tim Denham's hand] Frank: You have lovely hands. Do you moisturize? Billy Tim Denham: I'm Sorry? Frank: You know, I've tried all sorts of moisturizers. I even went fragrance free for a whole year. Now my sister, she uses some kind of uh... uh... uh... uh... aloe vera with a little sunscreen in it, and ideally, we should all wear gloves when going to bed, but I found out that that creates a kind of an interference with my... social agenda, you know what I mean. Rusty: Why do this? Danny: Why not do it? [Rusty shakes his head] Danny: Cause yesterday I walked out of the joint after losing four years of my life and you're cold-decking "Teen Beat" cover boys. [pause] Danny: Cause the house always wins. Play long enough, you never change the stakes. The house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet and you bet big, then you take the house. [another pause] Rusty: Been practicing this speech, haven't you? Danny: Little bit. Did I rush it? Felt I rushed it. Rusty: No, it was good, I liked it. The "Teen Beat" thing was harsh. Terry: I know everything that's happening in my hotels. Danny: So I should put the towels back? Terry: No, the towels you can keep. Tess: Danny was walking through the restaurant when he spotted me. Terry: Is that right? Danny: Yeah, imagine the odds. Terry: Of all the gin joints in all the world. Rusty: God, I'm bored! Danny: You look bored. Rusty: I am bored! [long pause] Rusty: How was the clink? You get the cookies I sent? Danny: Why do you think I came to see you first? Livingston: The moment you set foot on that casino floor, they'll be watching you like hawks. Hawks with video cameras. Saul: I have a question, say we get into the cage, and through the security doors there and down the elevator we can't move, and past the guards with the guns, and into the vault we can't open... Rusty: Without being seen by the cameras. Danny: Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that. Saul: Yeah well, say we do all that... uh... we're just supposed to walk out of there with $150,000,000 in cash on us, without getting stopped? [pause as everyone turns to look at Danny] Danny: Yeah. Saul: Oh. Okay. Rusty: Tell me this is not about her, or I am walking. I am walking off this job right now. Danny: Who? Rusty: Tess. Terry Benedict. Tell me this is not about screwing the guy who's screwing your wife. Danny: Ex wife. It's not about that. [pause] Not entirely about that. Rusty: Okay, here's the problem. Now we're stealing 2 things. And when push comes to shove, and you can't have both, which are you gonna choose, huh? And remember: Tess does not split 11 ways! Linus: Smash and grab job, huh? Rusty: Slightly more complicated than that. Linus: Well, yeah. Basher: It will be nice working with proper villains again! Linus: Apparently, he's got a record longer than my... well, it's long. Danny: You gotta walk before you crawl. Rusty: Reverse that. Rusty: What's with the orange? Saul: My doctor says I need vitamins. Rusty: So why don't you take vitamins? Saul: You come here to give me a physical? [describing Terry Benedict] Reuben: He'll kill you, then he'll go to work on you. Topher Grace: Fellas! Fellas! Check this... all... red! [Lays down his hand, which is revealed as two diamonds and three hearts, as everyone at the table congratulates him on his "flush"] Parole Board Member #1: Mr Ocean, the purpose of this hearing is to determine, whether, if released, you are likely to break the law again. While this was your first conviction, you have been implicated, though never charged, in over a dozen other confidence tricks and frauds. What can you tell us about those? Danny: As you say, ma'am, I was never charged. Parole Board Member #2: Mr Ocean, what we're trying to find out is was there a reason you chose to commit this crime, or was there a reason you simply got caught this time. Danny: My wife left me. I was upset. I fell into a self-destructive pattern. Parole Board Member #3: If released, is it likely you'd fall back into a similar pattern? Danny: She already left me once. I don't think she'd do it again just for kicks. Parole Board Member #1: Good morning. Danny: Morning. Parole Board Member #1: Please state your name for the record. Danny: Daniel Ocean. Parole Board Member #1: Thank you. Mr. Ocean, the purpose of this hearing is to determine whether, if released, you are likely to break the law again. Danny: How's your wife? Bruiser: Pregnant again. Danny: Well, that happens. Danny: I'm not sure what four nines does, but the ace, I think, is pretty high. [discussing possible candidates for their crew] Danny: Phil Turenteen... Rusty: Dead. Danny: No shit. On the job? Rusty: Skin cancer. Danny: D'you send flowers? Rusty: Dated his wife for a while. Reuben: You're Bobby Caldwell's kid. From Chicago. It's nice there, do you like it? Linus: Yeah. Reuben: That's wonderful. Get in the goddamn house. Danny: We'll need Saul. Rusty: He won't do it. He got out of the game a year ago. Danny: Get religion? Rusty: Ulcers. Danny: ...You could ask him. Rusty: Hey, I could ask him. [as Tess walks down the stairs] Linus: This is the best part of my day. [teaching poker to young Hollywood actors] Rusty: Shane, you've got three pairs. You can't have six cards! You can't have six cards in a five-card game! Shane West: Hit me. Rusty: It's not blackjack. [in a safe heist] Basher: All right chaps. Hang on to your knickers. [He triggers the bomb, and the safe door cracks open. Laughing, Basher dances into the vault - and the alarm goes off] Basher: Oh leave it out! You tossers! You had one job to do! Terry: All right. Now I have complied with your every request, would you agree? Rusty: I would. Terry: Good, 'cause now I have one of my own. Run and hide, asshole. Run and hide. If you should be picked up next week buying a hundred-thousand dollar sports car in Newport Beach, I am going to be supremely disappointed. Because I want my people to find you, and when they do, rest assured we are not going to hand you over to the police. So my advice to you again is this: run and hide. That is all that I ask. Danny: All right. [Bruiser punches Danny] Ahh! Jesus, Bruiser, not until later! Bruiser: Sorry Danny, I forgot. Danny: It's all right. Terry: Well, then inform Mr. Levin that he'll be better off watching the fight in front of his television at home... Surely *he* must have HBO. [Yen practices the vault somersault] Turk Malloy: Ten says he shorts it. Frank, Livingston, Saul: Twenty! [Yen does the real somersault] Frank: Ten says he shorts it. Livingston: No bet. Virgil Malloy: Are you a man? Turk Malloy: Yes, nineteen. Virgil Malloy: Are you alive? Turk Malloy: Yes, eighteen. Virgil Malloy: Evel Knievel. Turk Malloy: ...shit. [teaching poker to young actors] Rusty: Barry, your turn. Barry Watson: Uh... four. Rusty: You don't want four. You want to fold. Barry Watson: I do? Is that a good thing? Basher: See, when a nuclear weapon detonates it unleashes an electromagnetic pulse which shuts down any power source within its blast radius. Now that tends not to matter in most cases because a nuclear weapon usually destroys everything you might need power for anyway. A pinch creates a similar electromagnetic pulse, but without the fuss of mass destruction and death. So instead of Hiroshima, you'd be getting the seventeenth century. Tess: You of all people should know Terry, in your hotel, there's always someone watching. Rusty: 'Wonder what Rueben'll say. Reuben: [Cut to Rueben] YOU'RE OUTTA YOUR GODDAMN MINDS! Danny: I'm not joking, Tess. Tess: I'm not laughing, Danny. Tess: You're thirty seconds late, I was going to send out a search- [looks up and sees Danny] Tess: Do you remember what I said when we met? Danny: You said I'd better know what I'm doing. Tess: And do you? Because you should walk out that door if you don't. Danny: I know what I'm doing. Terry: What are you doing? Reuben: What? Did you guys get a group rate or something? Danny: Livingston, we're set. Rusty: Livingston, we're set. Livingston: Basher, we're set. Basher: Hang on a minute chief. Livingston: We don't have a minute, Yen's gonna suffocate. Basher: Then you'd better leave off bothering me, don't you think? Basher: Where we at boys? Livingston: Pins and floor sensors now. Basher: Blinder. Topher Grace: Mr Ocean, what do you do for a living? If you don't mind me asking. Danny: Why would I mind you asking? Two cards. I just got out of prison. Topher Grace: Really? Joshua Jackson: Well why were you in prison? Danny: I stole things. Shane West: You stole things? Like jewels? Rusty: Incan matrimonial headmasks. Shane West: Any money in those? Incan matrimonial Danny: Headmasks. There's some. Rusty: Don't let him fool you, there's boatloads. If you can move them. I'll take one. But you can't. Danny: My fence seemed confident enough. Rusty: Dealing in cash you don't need a fence. Danny: Some people lack vision. Rusty: Probably everybody in cell block E [the rest of the crew get out of the van, with Turk and Virgil in the front; Danny stops Linus] Danny: What are you doing? Linus: I'm coming with you. Danny: No. Linus: What? Oh, no, no... [as they shut the doors on him] Linus: [shouts] Don't leave me with these guys! Linus: [Yen's cast is caught in vault door, Unaware that Yen is trapped, Danny and Linus try to blow the door but the bomb doesnt go off] Did you check the batteries? [pause] You know, you lose focus in this game for one second... Danny: I know, somebody gets hurt. You don't hear Yen complaining. [they replace the batteries and the door explodes] Reuben: Where are they? Saul: They will be here. Reuben: [mimicking Saul's voice] They will be here. Schmuck. Saul: [watching Danny, Linus, and Yen load the money from the vault] That is the sexiest thing I have ever seen! Linus: The last guy they caught cheating in here? Benedict not only sent him up for 10 years, he had the bank seize his house and then he bankrupted... Rusty, Linus: -his brother-in-law's tractor dealership. Rusty: Yeah, I heard. [Yen slides down into the hole in the cart] Rusty: Amazing. You okay? You want something to read, a magazine or something? [Yen's hand pops out of the hole, giving Rusty the finger] Rusty: Okay. Turk Malloy: Saul, do you get out to Utah much? Saul: Not as often as I'd like. Turk Malloy: Check it out. I think you'd dig Provo. You could do well there. Saul: I'll look into it. Explosives Cop: That's all you used in the event, nothin' else? Basher: Hang on, are you accusing me of boobytrapping? Explosives Cop: Well, how about it? Rusty: [masquerading as an ATF agent] Booby traps aren't Mr. Torres style, isn't that right, "Basher"? Peck, ATF. Let me venture a guess, simple g form mainliner, backwound, quick fuse with a drag under 20 feet? Yea... let me ask you somethin else did you search this scumbag for booby traps, on his person? I mean really search, not just for weapons? [cop shakes head no] Stand back. [shoves Basher against cop car] Basher: Oy. here we go Rusty: Go find Griggs, tell him I need to see him. Explosives Cop: Who? Rusty: Just find him, will ya? Hotel Security: Hi! Livingston: Fine, thank you. Rusty: [impersonating a doctor] I'm sorry. He's gone. Virgil Malloy: [as he and Turk enter, impersonating paramedics] Man, I told you to run. Turk Malloy: Don't do that. Virgil Malloy: What, I didn't tell you to run? Rusty: [Danny comes out of jail] "I hope you were the groom..." Danny: [looking at Rusty's shirt] "Ted Nugent called, he wants his shirt back..." Rusty: I saw you at the paddock... before the second race, outside the men's room when I placed my bet. Saul: I saw you before you even got up this morning. Rusty: How you been, Saul? Saul: Never Better. Rusty: What's with the orange? Saul: My doctor says I need to take more vitamins. Rusty: So why don't you take vitamins? Saul: You come here to give me a physical? |
