Ocean's Twelve Page #2

...Iosing a lot of money,

and he's got no life.

He's a nice, bright kid,

but he's beating his brains out.

Do you think I could send something

through you, like, a message to him?

I read your palm, not his.

Somebody who could do that could do

very well. Anything on my health?

- My hips are bothering me.

- Please.

This? You couldn't see this?

- I tried knocking, he won't open.

- I'll handle it. I know him.

Jesus Christ, are you people retarded?

- It says, "Do not disturb"!

- It's me.

Hey.

Come on in.

Jeez, Topher, you didn't

have to go all Frankie Muniz on me.

I'm sorry. Rust, look, I know

this is your joint.

I just...

There's this girl.

I love her, man.

I love her, but she is driving me crazy!

I can't sleep. I can't work.

I quit the show. I totally phoned in

that Dennis Quaid movie.

- I mean, it's like...

- Hello?

God, it's almost like this

Kabbalah crap doesn't even work!

Rusty, call for you.

Dude, don't leave.

- Yeah?

- I have a message...

...for Robert Charles Ryan, soon to be

ex-owner of the Standard Hotel.

- You got him.

- Last time we spoke, you hung up on me.

You used some nasty words.

I got sensitive ears.

I admit I was a little

emotional that evening.

Think about that night a lot,

don't you?

I thought I'd be dead before

I heard the sound that killed me.

I've been asked to show restraint.

Otherwise, you would've gone out...

...to your favorite car of all

the 17 you own...

...and as soon as you turned

on the ignition...

You got two weeks.

Now, you told me that your wife said

that he called it Ocean's 11.

Now, who decided that?

I'm a private contractor.

It was a collaboration.

That moniker is insulting.

It was one job we did together.

I don't know where this proprietary stance

comes from. It seems possessive.

One could argue that

because it was Danny's idea...

Hang on a minute.

We all had our own areas of expertise.

I mean, without us,

it don't leave your head, mate.

It just hurts, you know, because...

...it seemed we all agreed

to call it "the Benedict job."

That's what we called it

when we were doing it.

If you wanted to call it

something else...

When you have a problem,

who do you go to?

- Rusty.

- Rusty.

Thanks.

Let's get back on the topic.

Based on what we stole, plus interest...

...how much does everybody owe?

- $ 17.34 million.

Assuming Benedict gives us

prime plus one, which I doubt.

Figure 19 to be safe.

Okay, 19 each. Anybody got that?

What, you think the stock market's

some great mystery...

...beyond the realm of human

understanding? Didn't you see the signs?

I saw the signs.

How much is everybody short?

How much you short?

Fourteen. Fourteen.

- All but 5 million?

- Yeah. You gonna start with me?

You don't know what it's like

to create something from scratch.

- Well, with interest, I'm short 7.

- Eight.

I spent about a million,

mostly on talent development.

That makes it 7 for me.

Boy, the interest just kills you.

- I'm light 9.

- What's the interest?

- About 6.

- Then I owe 6.

- How?

- What?

I've been staying at my parents'.

I owe 25.

Hotels, man.

Saul?

I haven't spent it all, but I will.

I'm out, fellas.

As ranking old-timer,

I gotta say, I just can't do it.

At my age, I think I earned

the right to be selfish.

I wanna thank you all for the wonderful

opportunity. You're all aces in my book.

But I want the last check

I write to bounce.

Saul, you having a laugh?

Saul.

- I can handle Saul's share.

- You don't have to.

Who would I talk to

if you were all dead?

That's a good point.

All right, I owe 10. Amazing?

Yeah, but it's a nice place.

- So that comes to...?

- Ninety-seven, give or take.

He didn't find us on his own.

- Someone helped him.

- Another thief.

Nobody we know would

violate rule number one.

What we do know is we need a job.

We need a high-paying job.

We're too hot to work

anywhere in this country.

- So we go abroad. How about we go...?

- We're on the 5:00.

Good. Where are we going?

- Amsterdam.

- Amsterdam it is.

- Clock's running. Let's go.

- Never been to Amsterdam.

I hear German girls are really hot.

Rusty.

- Amsterdam?

- Yeah.

Don't tell Danny.

Hey, Rusty. Rusty.

Sorry, sorry. Hey.

What are you doing?

What's wrong with you?

- Nothing.

- What?

- Can l...? Can l...?

- What?

- Just for a second, can I talk to you?

- What's wrong?

I just... I don't know.

This might not be the perfect time

or whatever to talk about it.

- Okay.

- I've been thinking.

I've been doing my homework.

And I'd really like...

...to play a more central role

this time around.

- Right.

- I feel like I've...

- Right.

- I'm ready for that, and l...

Way overdue.

I was wondering if I could come to

the meeting and help you guys negotiate.

Okay. It's just a sit-down with Matsui.

He's got his own language, this guy.

I watched you and Danny really closely

last time around. I learned a ton.

Linus, in my professional opinion,

you're not ready.

- Okay. Yeah, I mean...

- But... But... But...

...if you're convinced you are ready...

...I can speak with Danny.

We can make this happen.

But you gotta be sure.

- Not sure?

- No, I am.

- You're sure?

- But if I had a question, I could...

- You would call me?

- Right. Okay.

Any time.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Okay. Awesome. Thank you.

Yeah.

I almost wasn't gonna

come over and say anything.

Then I'd still be sleeping.

- Thanks, buddy.

- Yeah.

- Who's there?

- Li... It's...

- What?

- It's Linus.

Is Rusty here? Rusty...?

- Do you know where Rusty is?

- No.

So have you met Matsui?

Seriously, what do you think of me...

...you know, in terms

of just leadership potential?

The fact that we're unemployable

shouldn't enter your mind.

Otherwise, you're wasting time.

Don't mention Benedict

unless he does first.

And if he does, tell him everything.

Right. Stay on point. And don't

forget the other thing I told you.

- What?

- About listening.

Relax. Remember, if we don't

get this job, we're dead.

Rusty, I tried calling you

all yesterday.

So finally, she slams her vodka tonic

down on the tray and says:

"Hey, maybe that's why

I've been feeling so warm recently."

Yeah.

- So to business?

- To business.

A doctor who specializes

in skin diseases...

...will dream he has fallen asleep

in front of the television.

Later, he will wake up

in front of the television...

...but not remember his dream.

Would you agree?

If all the animals along the equator

were capable of flattery...

...then Thanksgiving and Halloween...

...would fall on the same date.

Yeah. Hey.

When I was 4 years old...

...I watched my mother

kill a spider with a tea cozy.

Years later, I realized

it was not a spider.

It was my Uncle Harold.

Oh, let the sun beat down

upon my face

Stars to fill my dreams

I am a traveler in both time and space

To be where I have been

Is he all right? Are we all right?
