Reuben:
You're out of you're goddamn minds!...Are you listening to me? You're, both of you nuts! I know more about casino security than any man alive. I invented it. And it cannot be beaten. They got cameras, they got watchers, they got locks, they got timers, they got vaults. They got enough armed personnel to occupy Paris!...Okay, bad example.
Danny:
It's never been tried.
Reuben:
Ho-ho... "It's never been tried." It's been tried. A few guys even came close. You know the three most successful robberies in the history of Vegas?
[Flashback]
Reuben:
[v.o.] Number three, the bronze medal. Pencil neck grabs a lock box at the Horseshoe...
[The thief is almost instantly tackled.]
Reuben:
[v.o.] He got two steps closer to the door than any living soul before him.
[in the present]
Reuben:
Second most successful robbery...
[another flashback]
Reuben:
[v.o.] The Flamingo in '71. This guy actually tasted fresh oxygen before they grabbed him.
[The thief gets within a few feet of the door before getting smashed in the face with a security guard's baton.]
Reuben:
[v.o.] Of course, he was breathing out of a hose for the next three weeks. Goddamn hippie.
[in the present]
Reuben:
And the closest any man has ever come to robbing a Las Vegas Casino...
[another flashback]
Reuben:
[v.o.] Was outside of Caesar's in '87. He came... he grabbed...
[Three security guards shoot the thief in the back.]
Reuben:
[v.o.] They conquered.
[in the present]
Reuben:
But what am I saying? You guys are pros. The best. I'm sure you can make it out of the casino. Of course, lest we forget, once you're out the front door, YOU"RE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE F***ING DESERT!
Rusty:
You're right. [Looks at Danny] He's right.
Danny:
Reuben, you're right. Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs.
Rusty:
That's exactly what it is, pure ego.
Reuben:
Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah.
Rusty:
Thank you.
Danny:
For lunch.
Rusty:
The Nicoise was delicious.
Danny:
Sorry we bothered you.
Reuben:
[shaking hands] 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.
Rusty:
I had never been to Belize.
Reuben:
[as they are leaving] Give Dominic your addresses. I got some remained furniture I want to send you. Look, just out of curiosity, which casinos did you geniuses pick to rob?
Rusty:
The Bellagio, The Mirage....
Danny:
The Bellagio, The Mirage and the MGM Grand.
Reuben:
[drops his fork] Those are Terry Benedict's casinos.
Rusty:
Is that right?
Danny:
That's right.
Reuben:
You guys... what do you got against Terry Benedict?
Danny:
What do you have against him, that's the question.
Reuben:
He torpedoed my casino, muscled me out. Now he's gonna blow it up next month to make way for some gaudy monstrosity! Don't think I don't see what you're doing.
Rusty:
What are we doing, Reuben?
Reuben:
You're gonna steal from Terry Benedict, you'd better goddamn KNOW. This sorta thing used to be civilized, you'd hit a guy, he'd whack you, done. But with Benedict... at the end of this, he'd BETTER not know you're involved, not know your names or think you're dead because he'll kill ya, and then he'll go to work on ya.
Danny:
That's why we have to be very careful. Very precise.
Rusty:
Hmm, Well-funded.
Reuben:
Yeah. Ya gotta be NUTS, too. And you're gonna need a crew as NUTS as you are! [pause] Who do ya got in mind?
