So smooth and sexy, starring the impressive George Clooney, Matt Damon, and Brad Pitt. Oh... and the movie's good, too.

---------------------

Frank: You've got a plan already?

Danny: Are you kidding? I just became a citizen again.

---------------------

Danny: Officer Brooks, this is Danny Ocean. I was told to contact you within 24 hours. No, sir, I haven't been getting into any trouble. No, sir, I haven't been drinking. No, sir. I wouldn't even think of leaving the state.

---------------------

Bartender: How's the game going?

Russ: Longest hour of my life.

Bartender: What?

Russ: I'm running away with your wife.

Bartender: Great!

---------------------

Josh: And why were you in prison?

Danny: I stole things.

---------------------

Russ: God, I'm bored.

Danny: You look bored.

Russ: I am bored. So how was the klink? You get the cookies I sent?

Danny: Why do you think I came to see you first.

---------------------

Danny: What?

Russ: I need a reason. And don't say money. Why do this?

Danny: Why not do it? Because yesterday I walked out of the joint after losing four years of my life, and you're cold-decking teen-beat cover boys. Because the house always wins. You play long enough you never change the stakes, the house takes you. Unless when that perfect hand comes along, you bet big, and then you take the house.

Russ: You've been practicing that speech, haven't you?

Danny: A little bit. Did I rush it? Felt like I rushed it.

Russ: No, it was good. I liked it. Teen-beat thing was harsh.

---------------------

Reuben: You're out of your goddamn minds. Are you listening to me? You're both of you nuts.

---------------------

Reuben: Look, we all go way back, and I owe you from the thing with the guy in the place, and I'll never forget it.

Danny: That was our pleasure.

Russ: I'd never been to Belize.

---------------------

Russ: What are we going, Rubin?

Reuben: You're gonna steal from Terry Benedict, you better goddamned know. This sorta thing used to be civilized. You'd hit a guy; he'd wack you. Done. But with Benedict... At the end of this, he better not know you're involved, not know your names or think you're dead. Because he'll kill you, and then he'll go to work on you.

Danny: That's why we have to be very careful and very precise.

Russ: Mm, well-funded.

Reuben: Yeah. You gotta be nuts, too, and you're gonna need a crew as nuts are you are. Who do you got in mind?

---------------------

Livingston: Don't, don't, don't, don't touch that.

Cop: Why not?

Livingston: Do you see me grabbing the gun out of your holster and waving it around?

Cop: Hey. Radioshack, relax.

---------------------

Danny: We need Saul.

Russ: He won't do it, got out of the game a year ago.

Danny: Get religion?

Russ: Ulcers.

Danny: You could ask him.

Russ: Hey, I could ask him.

---------------------

Saul: I saw you at the paddock before the second race outside the men's room when I placed my bet. I saw you before you even got up this morning.

---------------------

Russ: What do you want?

Saul: Nothing. I've got a duplex now. I've got wall to wall and a goldfish. I'm seeing a nice lady who works the unmentionables counter at Macy's. I've changed.

Russ: Guys like us don't change, Saul. We stay sharp or we get sloppy. But we don't change.

---------------------

Reuben: Your Bobby Cadwell's kid, huh? From Chicago?

Linus: Yeah.

Reuben: It's nice there. You like it?

Linus: Yeah.

Reuben: That's wonderful. Get in the goddamned house.

---------------------

Danny: Okay, bad news first. This place houses a security system that rivals most nuclear missle silos. First we have to get within the casino cages, which anybody will tell you takes more than a smile. Next, through those doors, each of which requires a different 6-digit code changed every 12 hours. Past those, lies the elevator - this is where it gets tricky. The elevator won't move without authorized fingerprint identification.

Russ: Which we can't fake.

Danny: And vocal confirmation from both the security system within the Bellacio and the vault below.

Russ: Which we won't get.

Danny: Furthermore, the elevator shaft is rigged with motion detectors.

Russ: Meaning if we were to manually override the lift, the shaft's exit would lock down automatically, and we'd be trapped.

Danny: Now once we get down teh shaft though, then it's a piece of cake. Just two more guards with Uzis, and the most elaborate vault door ever conceived by man.

---------------------

Saul: I have a question. Say we get into the cage and through the security doors there? And down the elevator we can't move? And pass the guards with the guns, and into the vault we can't open?

Russ: Without being seen by the cameras.

Danny: Oh, yeah. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

Saul: Yeah. Well, say we do all that. We'rejust supposed to walk out of there with 150 million dollars in cash on us without getting stopped?

Danny: Yeah.

Saul: Oh.

---------------------

Turk: Watch it, bud.

Virgil: Who you calling bud, pal?

Turk: Who you calling pal, friend?

Virgil: Who you calling friend, jackass?

---------------------

Danny: Saul, you sure you're ready to do this?

Saul: If you ever ask me that question again, Daniel, you will not wake up the following morning.

Danny: He's ready.

---------------------

Linus: I tell you, you guys really can pick 'em. This guy is as smart as he is ruthless. Last guy they caught cheating in here, he not only set him up for 10 years, but he had the bank seize his house, and then he bankrupted his brother-in-law's-

Russ: His brother-in-law's tractor dealership, I heard.

Linus: He doesn't just take out your knees. The guy goes after your livelyhood, and the livelihood of anybody you ever met.

---------------------

Russ: You scared?

Linus: You suicidal?

Russ: Only in the morning.

---------------------

Russ: Okay, here's the problem. Now we're stealing two things, and when push comes to shove if you can't have both, which're you going to choose? And remember, Tess does not split 11 ways.

---------------------

Danny: Now, they tell me that I paid my debt to society.

Tess: Funny, I never got a check.

---------------------

Danny: I came here for you. I want to get on with my life, and I want you with me.

Tess: You're a thief and a liar.

Danny: I only lied about being a thief, but I don't do that anymore.

Tess: Steal?

Danny: Lie.

Tess: I'm with someone now who doesn't have to make that distinction.

---------------------

Tess: You know what your problem is?

Danny: I only have one.

Tess: You've met too many people like you.

---------------------

Terry: You recently were released from prison, is that correct?

Danny: That's right.

Terry: How does it feel to be out?

Danny: About the same.

---------------------

Danny: So?

Vasher: So unless we intend to do this job in Reno, we're in Barney. Barney Rubble. Trouble!

---------------------

Vasher: A pinch creates a simliar electromagnetic pulse, but without the fuss of mass destruction and death. So instead of Hiroshima, you'd be getting the 17th century.

---------------------

Livingston: We have a problem. You've been red-flagged. It means the moment you set foot in that casino floor, they're gonna be watching you like hawks. Hawks with video cameras.

---------------------

Linus: This just came to our attention this morning, Mr. Benedict. Apparently, he's got a record longer than my... Well. It's long.

---------------------

Danny: Ted Nugent called, he wants your shirt back. Thirteen million, and you drive this piece of shit to pick me up cross-country?

Russ: Blew it all on the suit.

---------------------

Tess: We need to get Rusty a girl.

Russ: There's a women's prison down the road.
