Lift attendant: To the bar.

Danny Ocean: Well I married you once and it didn't work out too well, so what's wrong with a little hey-hey?

Danny Ocean: You mean there isn't.

Beatrice Ocean: On your part, not much.

Vince Massler: If it's so fool-proof, why hasn't somebody done it yet?

Fired Waitress: But Ms. Sponder...

Abigail Sponder: Oh, no, baby doll. It's your butt that's the problem.

[walks away]

Frank Catton: [voiceover] You can't fire no waitress based on appearance. Man that's just unconstitutional.

Danny Ocean: If they were waitress.

Linus Caldwell: Yeah, they're actually hired as 'models who serve' so that Bank can monitor their physical appearance.

Rusty Ryan: It's a cruel, cruel practice.

Linus Caldwell: [after Rusty and Danny get off the plane] Hey, where are Tess and Isabel?

Danny Ocean: It's not their fight!

Linus Caldwell: Whoa!

Linus Caldwell: The Nose Plays!

Danny Ocean: Oh, the nose plays.

Rusty Ryan: The nose plays.

Roman Nagel: [in Ruben's home in Las Vegas] Well, I'm gonna give you back the hundred grand.

Danny Ocean: Why?

Roman Nagel: Danny, I like you. And you Rusty. I mean, you've got style. You've got brio. You've got loyalty. Believe me, I would love to go up against Greco and crush him... but it can't be beat. It can't be hacked and it can't be beat.

Danny Ocean: Not even by you?

Roman Nagel: Oh, with 18 months, nothing else on my plate, no other jobs, no women, no distractions... maybe.

Rusty Ryan: But you know everything about this thing.

Roman Nagel: Everything, except where it's being deployed. The inventor's an old schoolmate of mine. His name is Greco Montgomery. Pompous arse named it after himself.

Rusty Ryan: Greco? Roman?

Roman Nagel: You've obviously never served time in a British boarding school.

Turk Malloy: [referring to Willy Bank while standing around Reuben's hospital bed] I don't care if it gets messy.

Rusty Ryan: All valid ideas. Great initiative. But...

Danny Ocean: But...

Rusty Ryan: [referring to Isabel] Well, She said she liked surprises...

Danny Ocean: Uhuh, and?

Rusty Ryan: When I gave her one, she dropped the remote on the table and I put the towel back on.

Roman Nagel: You do know what a magnetron is?

Danny Ocean: [pause] Something that screws up the Greco?

Danny Ocean: [during the tunnel boring machine induced earthquake as the casino is being evacuated when the machine is shut down and quake continues] This is not time for jokes, fellas!

Turk Malloy: [underground with the TBM] Does it sound like I'm laughing, sweetheart.

Rusty Ryan: [referring to Tess] Did she understand?

Danny Ocean: It's not their fight.

Rusty Ryan: Did she understand?

Danny Ocean: [pauses, referring to Tess ] It's not their fight.

Danny Ocean: [at a construction site during work hours] What I want; what's most important to me is that Reuben gets his share of the hotel restored. Now I'm here to give you that chance.

Willy Bank: Oh, you're gonna give me a chance?

[laughs]

Willy Bank: OK. Let me guess. It's a Billy Martin? I pass.

Danny Ocean: [explaining about The Bank Casino to Roman at Ruben's home in Las Vegas] Bank's swinging for the one this one. Forget weekenders and conventioneers. He's built this place for whales. It's a shoo-in for the Five Diamond Award. The marble was hand-picked in Italy. The chefs stolen for the highest-rated restaurants in the Michelin guide book. In the villas, for his big players, the silverware is actually gold. Bank's greatest strength is also his weakness: ego. He's been spending his days checking and rechecking every inch of the property, getting ready for the big grand opening celebration. It's a complusion.

Linus Caldwell: [on the phone with Danny] The specs aren't on the gray market, the black market or any other market. And all I keep hearing is there's never been a system like this. Now, I found out where they designed it, but I can't even get in the building! I've blown all my buy money, my bribe money, four of my best ID's and I am nowhere! Not only am I nowhere, I'm pretty sure I'm being followed.

Danny Ocean: [over the phone] Do you have anything?

Linus Caldwell: Yeah, I think I have a name but I don't even know if it's right. They're calling it...

Roman Nagel: [cuts scene] The Greco. The Greco Player Tracker.

Rusty Ryan: Ok, the elevator guard has this little Hitler for a son, a real Ritalin surfer... are you OK?

Danny Ocean: Yeah, I just bit into a pepper.

Rusty Ryan: Anyhow... are you... uh...

Danny Ocean: Hmmm?

Rusty Ryan: Are you watching... Oprah? And drinking a bottle of wine? Did you TIVO this?

Danny Ocean: I was reading the paper.

Rusty Ryan: With the sound turned on full?

Rusty Ryan: They built em smaller back then.

Danny Ocean: Yeah, but they seemed big.

Roman Nagel: [in Ruben's home in Las Vegas] Good Lord. How stuck are you?

Danny Ocean: Stuck.

Rusty Ryan: Stalled really.

Danny Ocean: Stuck.

Roman Nagel: Run it for me. Don't leave anything out. Give me the big picture.

Danny Ocean: Do you wanna...?

Rusty Ryan: [immediately] It's all yours.

Danny Ocean: Where should we start?

Rusty Ryan: [immediately] With the hotel

Danny Ocean: [about the Grecco Player Tracker] You mean it has a brain?

Roman Nagel: [awed] A hell of a brain... It not only thinks, it reasons.

Matsui: So, business?

Danny Ocean: Business.

Rusty Ryan: 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.

Matsui: [to Caldwell] Would you agree?

[Caldwell is visibly perplexed and perturbed, shaking his head]

Matsui: .

Danny Ocean: If all the animals along the equator were capable of flattery, then Thanksgiving and Hallowe'en... would fall... on the same day.

Rusty Ryan: Mm.

Matsui: Yeah. Hey. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Matsui: When I was four years old, I watched my mother kill a spider... with a teacosy. Years later, I realised it was not a spider - it was my Uncle Harold.

Linus Caldwell: [All eyes turn to him, expectantly] Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams.

[Ryan claps hand across eyes]

Linus Caldwell: I am a traveller in both time and space, to be where I have been.

[Blank, yet stern, looks from everyone]

Linus Caldwell: [Outside, Ryan and Ocean join Caldwell in the street] Is he alright? Are we alright?

Rusty Ryan: Kashmir?

Danny Ocean: Is that your idea of making a contribution?

Rusty Ryan: We hadn't even started. We ain't even got to the terms yet.

Danny Ocean: We came this close to losing that.

Linus Caldwell: Hey, I don't even understand what happened in there. What did I say?

Danny Ocean: You called his niece a whore.

Rusty Ryan: A very cheap one.

Linus Caldwell: What?

Danny Ocean: She's seven.

Rusty Ryan: Currently confined to bed with a wicked case of...

Danny Ocean: No, you don't need to tell him that...

Linus Caldwell: Sorry.

Linus Caldwell: OK. So what does this mean?

Rusty Ryan: It means you stay here.

Linus Caldwell: [Linus is trying to convince everyone that Danny was actually the leader of "The Benedict Job"] Well, if any of you had a problem, who did you go to?

Basher Tarr, Turk Malloy, Virgil Malloy, Reuben Tishkoff, Livingston Dell, Yen, Frank Catton: [simultaneously] Rusty.

Danny Ocean: Thanks, Linus.

Turk Malloy: It's ridiculous, I mean this is a moral issue we're dealing with here. Not to mention we don't have a grease man anymore, because he's in a bag somewhere. We don't know.

Virgil Malloy: We got a bag man.

Turk Malloy: Such an ape, an animal, with no feelings you are.

Virgil Malloy: I have feelings.

Turk Malloy: No, you don't.

Virgil Malloy: Look, yeah, I do I feel bad for the guy. He's a human being in a piece of luggage, but you got water, he's got air. What did you want them to do?

Turk Malloy: Oh my God they should have gotten off the bus, get off the bus and pick up the bag with our friend in it.

Virgil Malloy: Get off the bus, they were trying to be inconspicuous. How many soccer teams do you know that are fielding 50 year-old men?

Danny Ocean: Rusty's not 50 years old.

Turk Malloy: Yeah, dude, we know Rusty's not 50.

Danny Ocean: What are you doing?

Rusty Ryan: Sleeping. Why are you dressed?

Danny Ocean: It's 5:30, day of. Gotta go, let's go!

Rusty Ryan: It's 11:30. The night before.

Danny Ocean: [realizes he was given a prank wake-up call by Toulour]

Rusty Ryan: Oh! Oh he's mean. He's just mean spirited. All right, how many espressos have you had?

Danny Ocean: Five.

Reuben Tishkoff: I can handle Saul's share.

Danny Ocean: You don't have to do that.

Reuben Tishkoff: Who would I talk to if you're all dead?

Danny Ocean: That's a good point. Alright, I owe 10. Amazing?

Yen: [speaks in Mandarin]

Rusty Ryan: [chuckles] Yeah, but it's a nice place.

Livingston Dell: So that comes to?

Reuben Tishkoff: 97, give or take.

Rusty Ryan: He didn't find us on his own. Someone helped him.

Reuben Tishkoff: Another thief.

Linus Caldwell: Well, there's no-one we'd know that would violate rule number one.

Danny Ocean: What we do know is we need a job. We need a high paying job.

Linus Caldwell: Well, now we're too hot to be working anywhere in this country.

Danny Ocean: So we go abroad. How 'bout we go to...

Rusty Ryan: [cuts in] We're on the 5:00.

Danny Ocean: Good. We're we going?

Rusty Ryan: Amsterdam.

Danny Ocean: Amsterdam, it is. Clock's running guys. Let's go.

Linus Caldwell: I've never been to Amsterdam.

Turk Malloy: I hear German girls are really hot.

Danny Ocean: Do I look 50 to you?

Basher Tarr: Yeah.

Danny Ocean: Really?

Basher Tarr: Well, I mean, you know, only from the neck up.

Linus Caldwell: What did I say?

Danny Ocean: You called his niece a whore.

Rusty Ryan: A very cheap one.

Danny Ocean: She's seven.

Danny Ocean: How much is everyone short?

Turk Malloy: 14.

Virgil Malloy: You're kidding me! You spent all but 5 million?

Turk Malloy: Yes! Are you going to start on me with that too? You don't know what it's like starting something from scratch!

Virgil Malloy: Well, with interest, I'm short 7.

Frank Catton: Eight.

Linus Caldwell: Well, I spent a million on talent development, so I guess that leaves me at 7. Boy, that interest just kills you, man!

Basher Tarr: I'm light 9.

Livingston Dell: What's the interest?

Reuben Tishkoff: 6.

Livingston Dell: Then I owe 6.

Turk Malloy: What?

Livingston Dell: I've been living with my parents.

Rusty Ryan: I owe 25.

[everyone looks at him, he chuckles wryly]

Rusty Ryan: Hotels, man.

Danny Ocean: How old do you think I am?

Virgil Malloy: 48?

Danny Ocean: You think I'm 48 years old?

Virgil Malloy: 52?

Tess Ocean: You're doing recon work on our anniversary?

Danny Ocean: Tess...

Rusty Ryan: Of course, we haven't considered the most obvious solution.

Danny Ocean: Oh yeah?

Rusty Ryan: We could turn ourselves in. Go to jail. Nothing Benedict could do to us there.

Danny Ocean: Yeah, good idea. We all go to the cops and confess to the Bellagio robbery. That averages twenty years for grand larceny for each of us. Yeah, that'd teach him.

Danny Ocean: [watching "Happy Days" dubbed in Italian] That guy doing Potsie is unbelievable.

Danny Ocean: [from the trailer] How are you feeling?

Basher Tarr: Great... for a dead guy!

Danny Ocean: [pauses] Good.

Rusty Ryan: Anybody remember that scene in Miller's Crossing when John Turturro begs for his life?

Reuben Tishkoff: Sure, "Look into your heart."

[pause]

Reuben Tishkoff: I cry every time.

Danny Ocean: What?

Rusty Ryan: We have no line of sight.

Danny Ocean: You know, I was once in a vault while it was being robbed.

Bank Officer: [pause] that must have been quite an experience...

Danny Ocean: [pauses, thinks for a while] Yeah...

Danny Ocean: So how much do we all owe, each?

Reuben Tishkoff: $17.34 million. Assuming Benedict gives us Prime Plus One, which I doubt. Figure 19 to be safe.

Shop Owner: [Inquiring about his purchase] What is it - a special occasion?

Danny Ocean: It's our second third anniversary.
