Ocean's Thirteen Page #5

I gotta go up there and tell him we failed,

and there's nothing we can do about it?

-So we're stopping?

-I'm not saying that.

So, what, then?

Mr. Reuben is talking.

He asked for Mr. Danny.

-Rusty.

-I don't wanna go. No.

I hear cars pulling in.

I hear whispering conversations.

Linus crying.

Why don't you tell me what

everyone else seems to know?

-Well, we came in here to...

-The thing is...

Wait, wait.

Hi, Reuben. Good to see

you smiling again.

Can I talk to you

guys for a second?

That's your idea?

We've shaken all the trees, we've looked

under every rock, we've searched every...

We've talked to

everybody we can trust.

I know It's not a great

idea, but it is an idea.

I think as long as we have one

idea, we shouldn't give up.

I was really hoping to

avoid that this time.

Number one:

If any of you try to screw

me, you'll be dead.

I'm gonna be looking in on the

operation just to make sure.

Number two:
If I lend you this

money, I'm your senior partner.

Last money in, first money out. And

you will double my investment.

Double.

-Was that a yes?

-Double.

That monstrosity that Bank calls a

hotel casts a shadow over my pool.

Break him.

Break him in half. The man has no taste.

Yet, every time he opens a hotel...

... he wins a Royal Review

Board Five Diamond Award.

Every time he wins a Five Diamond

Award, he celebrates by...

We know. By buying

one for his wife.

-You mean five.

-One is five.

Number three:

I want you to steal

the diamonds.

-Can't be done.

-We don't have the manpower.

-Or the time.

-Or a way in.

If we get caught, we go away for life.

We won't gonna risk that

so you could get his diamonds.

They're not for me. I just want him

to lose what matters most to him.

Do what you want with them.

But either you steal

the diamonds...

... or you find somebody

else to finance your drill.

LA FOREUSE B600

(The one that dug from

the French side.)

What's the deal with

these diamonds then?

They're Tiffany, they're 30 carats

each, matching the awards plaques.

On today's legitimate market,

they'd be worth $250 million.

Bank's already purchased the next one

in anticipation of winning the award.

The rest are kept in a secure glass

viewing booth at the top of the tower.

-Benedict said we can keep them?

-That's what he said.

Then why weren't these diamonds

on the agenda to begin with?

Because it can't be done.

This is why revenge jobs

don't work, Daniel.

You put yourself in a position, you know

you should walk away, but you can't.

-This is how guys die or go to jail.

-All right.

Anybody wanna walk away?

-Saul?

-I didn't say I was walking away.

Let's gut the son of a b*tch.

Okay. Now, Bank fired Gehry,

Gwathmey, Meier, four others...

... just so he could say he

designed the hotel himself.

What this means to us: There's

no set of unified plans.

Routes?

According to March '05 plans, there's

interior shafts with potential access...

... to the diamond viewing

room here, here and here.

But the May '05 plans only

show shafts here and here.

September '05 shows no shafts.

December '06 plans are

the same as March '05.

-How many sets of plans are there?

-That's 10.

Since we can't trust the

accuracy of these drawings...

... based on my walking around, these are

the shafts we have to clap an eyeball on.

Now, there's still no way of knowing the

thickness of the floor underneath the dock.

Anything thicker than five

inches, we got a problem.

Right.

This here is the

elevator shaft...

... which can be accessed through a

super-high-roller villa. Got it?

All right. So who's gonna

be our super-high roller?

I'm so sorry to have been

a little tardy, Mr...?

Pepperidge, Lenny Pepperidge. I'm Mr.

Weng's communicator.

He'd like you to know that he

was waiting for seven minutes.

We received your $10 million

cash deposit and I'd

would like you to know that

what we normally do with our...

Mr. Weng won't take a line. He's a

man of extraordinary discipline.

He's willing to risk 10

million, not a dollar more.

Did you say Mr. Weng was in

real estate, Mr. Pepperidge?

That's right.

I only ask because his name doesn't

come up on our standard file database.

And Mr. Weng and I have worked

very hard to keep it that way.

Exactly what kind of real estate did

you say that Mr. Weng was involved in?

Look, he owns all the

air south of Beijing.

The air?

Put it to you this way:

Try building something larger than three

stories in the Tianjin province...

... see if his name comes

up in your database then.

How quickly can you transfer his money

to your cage to the cage of Bellagio?

Now I don't think that's necessary

at all, Mr. Pepperidge.

We have reserved our largest

villa for Mr. Weng.

Carson City, NV

Extension 765.

Hello, Robert. This

is Abigail Sponder.

Your bureau chief introduced us not too

long ago at the Gaming Fraud Seminar.

I remember you. What can I

do for you, Ms. Sponder?

Well you know. We're about

to open the new property...

... and there are a couple of

characters here I'm not too sure about.

Why don't you give me their

names and I'll check them out.

Up you go.

-What do you mean, you're not going?

-You gotta go.

Too fast?

You did the bullet-train stunt

with all Asia watching.

The elevators aren't

faster than that.

-That was CGI?

-Wait, so those weren't your legs?

-Wow.

-Jesus.

Okay, then. We're down again.

Well, what about Reuben?

-There's hospice.

-Assisted living.

I mean, we could pay

somebody to read to him.

Maybe he'll see his

next birthday.

-January? I don't think so.

-Sh*t.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Sh*t.

And then what happened?

-She said she liked surprises.

-I don't think that's not what she meant.

You think?

So she put down the remote.

-And I put the towel back on.

-Well, those are the waters.

-Relationships can be...

-Sure.

-But they're also...

-That's right.

I've gone through so many blueprints, I

can taste the ink through my fingers.

Yeah...

The only other access point is through

the main air conditioning duct.

-We gotta move that guard.

-We don't have anything on him.

-Then let's find something.

-I can get to the helipad from there too.

Let's find something.

I remember when this

used to be the Dunes.

Reuben taught me to shoot

craps here when I was a kid.

I'd play hard ways and double sixes.

He straightened me out.

I was 22.

First time I met Reuben...

... he looked me off getting cheated at

an all-dealers game at the El Rancho.

Then he bought me breakfast.

The Sands was there, Desert Inn.

-They built them a lot smaller back then.

-They seemed pretty big.

Town's changed.

You know, If I read one more puff piece

about Vegas legend Terry Benedict...

... I'm gonna have to buy

a magazine of my own.

And I haven't forgotten

about that phone.

The gold model? The one

that retails for 10,000?

That's the one. That

top-of-the-line Samsung.

Okay, that would be ungettable.
