How our office operates, as told through the movie “Ocean’s Eleven”
Scene 1 – Pre-Production Meeting with Managers
Rusty: “You’d need at least a dozen guys doing a combination of cons.”
Danny: “Like what, do you think?”
Rusty: “Off the top of my head, I’d say you’re looking at a Boeski, a Jim Brown, a Miss Daisy, two Jethros and a Leon Spinks, not to mention the biggest Ella Fitzgerald ever.”
Scene 2 – Development Meeting with Staff
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 past the guards with the guns, and into the vault we can’t open…uh… we’re just supposed to walk out of there with $150,000,000 in cash on us, without getting stopped?”
[pause as everyone turns to look at Danny]
Danny: “Yeah.”
Saul: “Oh. Okay.”
Scene 3 – Interoffice Communication
[last minute tips for Linus]
Rusty: “You look down, they know you’re lying and up, they know you don’t know the truth. Don’t use seven words when four will do.
Don’t shift your weight, look always at your mark but don’t stare, be specific but not memorable, be funny but don’t make him laugh.
“He’s got to like you then forget you the moment you’ve left his side. And for God’s sake, whatever you do, don’t, under any circumstances..”.
Livingston: “Rus?”
Rusty: “Yeah?”
Livingston: “Come look at this?”
Rusty: “Sure.”
Scene 4 – Problems with Programs
Basher: “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 a nuclear weapon usually destroys everything you might need power for anyway.
“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.”
Scene 5 – Solutions
Danny: “There’s a ninety-five pound Chinese man with a hundred sixty million dollars behind this door.”
Linus: “Let’s get him out.”
Scene 6 – The Finished Product
Saul: [watching Danny, Linus, and Yen load the money from the vault] “That is the sexiest thing I have ever seen!”
