Ocean's Thirteen Page #4

Synopsis: The last time we saw Danny Ocean's crew, they were paying back ruthless casino mogul Terry Benedict after stealing millions from him. However, it's been a while since they've come back together, which is all about to change. When one of their own, Reuben Tishkoff, builds a hotel with another casino owner, Willy Bank, the last thing he ever wanted was to get cut out of the deal personally by the loathsome Bank. Bank's attitude even goes so far as to finding the amusement in Tishkoff's misfortune when the double crossing lands Reuben in the hospital because of a heart attack. However, Danny and his crew won't stand for Bank and what he's done to a friend. Uniting with their old enemy Benedict, who himself has a vendetta against Bank, the crew is out to pull off a major plan; one that will unfold on the night Bank's newest hot spot opens up. They're not in this for the money, but for the revenge.

Will do, sir. Consider it done.

I do thank you for your time.

If you really wanna put yourself to

good use, why don't you hit the tables?

Oh, I don't gamble, sir. Neither

should you, not with people's lives.

I'll screen the meetings more

carefully next time. Sorry, Mr. Bank.

And now we have a camera

in Bank's office.

I'll see you, Reuben.

A letter from Basher.

"Dear Reuben."

"As the band said, 'Two

hearts beat as one'."

"When men have been in battle

together, they are bonded..."

"... like the flower and

the soil and the sun."

"And like the moon

catches the light..."

Reuben, I'm gonna go ahead

on and leave this...

... here.

I'll see you, pal.

So she says, "What'd

I do, what'd I do?""

And I said, "What do I look

like, a pancake eater?"

-So you just left it there on the floor?

-Right on the floor.

-For how long?

-Next morning.

Good.

Yeah.

Thanks, Debbie.

Pack your swimsuit.

All right.

I don't wanna see any slack faces

in the front of the house.

-Only happy faces. No slack faces.

-Right.

-Go! Go, go!

-Right.

I'm sorry.

-Mr. Shields!

-Thanks, thanks.

Where are you going? We got you

booked through grand opening.

A friend of mine, a

very serious man...

... told me very seriously that it would

be a good idea if I left the hotel.

I'm taking his

suggestion, Willy.

He can't be too serious if he knew

what I got in store for you now.

Willy, I'm out of here.

Thank you

-Oh, come on.

-See you, Willy.

-I really hate to see you go, man.

-Let's go.

Bank here.

Confirmed?

-Where?

-The gentleman in the trilby, sir.

The what?

The Dr. Dolittle hat.

Well, why didn't

you just say that?

Okay.

Okay.

Yes, sir.

-Excuse me, Mr...?

-Chubb, Kensington Chubb.

How do you do, Mr. Chubb,

would you like to follow me?

I think I might be able

to move things along...

How very nice of you.

No, no, no.

Her Highness is a

very delicate animal.

It upsets her so if anyone

but Papa carries her about.

-All's well, dear.

-Why don't you just follow me?

You're very considerate. I do

appreciate what you're doing for me...

Oh, sorry.

-Why does he get to go...?

-He's a VIP.

So, what's that make me? A VUP?

A very unimportant person?

I have a reservation.

Why don't you go on break, Jim?

I'll handle this guest.

Hello, sir. Sorry for the wait.

Welcome to The Bank.

Hello. Kensington Chubb here.

Saul, it's me. He's in his room. Blast him.

Got it.

Gloves and mask. Don't

take any chances.

Got it.

Hello. Front desk.

Yes, I'm in room 1706 and there's

some sort of terrible smell in here.

It smells like... Well,

I need-I need to move.

Certainly, sir. I'll just see

if we have anything available.

I'm sorry, sir. We are fully booked

through the grand opening gala.

I'll let you know if

anything opens up.

-Enjoy your stay at The Bank. Goodbye.

-But I...

Let the VIP concierge know that I'm

ready to see all available rooms.

-Right away, Mr. Chubb.

-Thank you.

Her Highness is so very

sensitive to smells.

If you keep complaining...

... they will fire us

all just for listening.

I'm just saying the

conditions are brutal.

You can't disagree.

The money... short.

The hours... way too long.

That's Mexico, bro.

Have all of you

forgotten Zapata?

When the poor had

their land stolen...

... they figured it

was lost for good.

But Zapata said to them...

It is better to die

on your feet...

... than to live on your knees.

And they fought.

And they fought.

Hello. I'd like a table for one. I

hear your risotto is tremendous.

It is tremendous. The

name on the reservation?

I'm a walk-in.

I'm sorry, sir. I can't

accommodate you.

Those are reserved. May I recommend

one of our other restaurants?

Ling Su. Cantonese-inspired

Szechuan cuisine.

Great.

Okay, it is not a

prop for prop's sake.

No, the Brody can work.

What? Just 'cause you have the

greatest cover known to man..., right?

So you don't even have to think

about these things anymore?

Right, congratulations.

No, maybe you're getting soft.

No, I'm not gonna put Danny on.

Or Rusty.

Just..., goodbye, Dad.

Okay. I rerouted all the impulses

going to the main randomizer.

In blackjack, the best

score you can get is 21.

It's called blackjack. So

the result should be...

... 20s and blackjacks to all the

players, with a dealer "bust".

Your cards. That's mine.

Okay, do over. Do over.

Okay, I'll keep working.

-Good.

-Good.

Yeas, I'll have the dumplings and

the shiitake-mushroom tempura.

-And a sparkling water.

-Okay. Thank you.

I'm gonna finish this.

"Staff".

"Casino".

"Food".

"Room cleanliness".

At this point, there's nothing

I can do to help him.

You said that he'd be,

whatchamacallit, ambulatory by now.

-Are you keeping his spirits buoyed?

-We're working on it.

Thanks, Stan.

No, no. That's way too much. It's

not like I removed a bullet.

This time.

-Dr. Stan. Great.

-Hey, Linus. How's it going?

-We're dead.

-What?

-The factory in Mexico is offline.

-Offline?

-What does that mean exactly?

-I couldn't get details. It just shut down.

-You don't think that he...?

-Yeah, I do, oh boy...

So he says that they want their bread

and they want their roses too.

You gotta get down there

and straighten this out.

-But he doesn't listen to me.

-You're going.

If we don't get this factory back online,

we're gonna have to dock this showboat.

What he means is the whole

operation hinges...

Dude, I got the showboat metaphor.

Thank you, Linus.

-All right, I gotta get back.

-What?

What do you mean, what? A little

something for the effort, maybe.

We pool tips! The other guys

are gonna think I'm kiting.

-All right, okay, fine. Come on.

-Come on.

You want it to come out of my pocket?

That's not nice...

I ain't got money

till I get my check.

-Yeah?

-What is this?

Take it easy.

What's the problem?

The tri-cone optimizers that feed

into the nipple-sleeve receivers...

... perforated their lubricating bladders

and began punching against the side walls.

Picture a knee, but without any cartilage.

Bone on bone.

There's a shearing effect when

alloys of different density abrade.

-The softer of the two...

-Magnetizes, reversing polarization.

Where's that put us?

Cattled.

Ok the good news is, there's another B-600,

availlable the one that dug the Chunnel.

I thought we had the one

that dug the Chunnel.

-We did.

-This one dug from the French side.

The bad news is, we're

timing the short we're gonna

have to buy this one

and it's expensive.

How much do we have left?

If I tap the whole contingency,

just over 10 million.

-How close does that get us?

-No.

-How much is it?

-Thirty...

-Thirty?

-... six.

Thirty-six?

-There's no way to do it without the drill?

-The drill's the exit strategy.

Well, is there a way

for us to raise money?

I've got everything I

have in this already.

-So do I.

-Me too.

We all do.

If any one of us was lying up in that bed,

Reuben wouldn't rest till he made it right.
