Basher Quotes in Ocean's Eleven (2001)

[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.

Basher: So unless we intend to do this job in Reno, we're in barney.

[everyone pauses]

Basher: Barney Rubble.

[they look bewildered]

Basher: [irritated that they don't understand what his implying] Trouble!

Danny: [over the radio] Livingston, we're set.

Rusty: [over the radio] Livingston, we're set.

Livingston: [over the radio] Basher, we're set.

Basher: [over the radio] Hang on a minute chief.

Livingston: [over the radio] We don't have a minute, Yen's gonna suffocate.

Basher: [preparing to detonate the pinch] Well, then you'd better leave off bothering me, don't you think?

[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.

[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!

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.

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.

[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!

Basher: Window or aisle, boys? Yeah, we're in deep shit!

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. Tarr's style. Isn't that right, "Basher"?

[shows a badge]

Rusty: 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]

Rusty: 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?

Basher: Where we at, boys?

Livingston: Pins and floor sensors now.

Basher: Blinder.
