OCEAN'S 11 - Rev. 1/8/01
FADE IN:
EMPTY ROOM WITH SINGLE CHAIR
We hear a DOOR OPEN and CLOSE, followed by APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS. DANNY OCEAN, dressed in prison fatigues, ENTERS FRAME and sits.
Good morning.
Good morning.
VOICE (O.S.)
DANNY
VOICE (O.S.) Please state your name for the record.
DANNY Daniel Ocean.
VOICE (O.S.) Thank you. Mr. Ocean, the purpose of this meeting is to determine whether, if released, you are likely to break the law again. While this was your first conviction, you have been implicated, though never charged, in over a dozen other confidence schemes and frauds. What can you tell us about this?
DANNY As you say, ma'am, I was never charged.
INT. PAROLE BOARD HEARING ROOM - WIDER VIEW - MORNING
Three PAROLE BOARD MEMBERS sit opposite Danny, behind a table.
BOARD MEMBER #2 Mr. Ocean, what we're trying to find out is: was there a reason you chose to commit this crime, or was there a reason why you simply got caught this time?
DANNY My wife left me. I was upset. I got into a self-destructive pattern.

BOARD MEMBER #3 If released, is it likely you would fall back into a similar pattern? DANNY She already left me once. I don't think she'll do it again just for kicks. Glances dart between the Board Members. BOARD MEMBER #1 Mr. Ocean, what do you think you would do if released? Danny considers. DANNY (deadpan) I don't know. How much do you guys make a year? INT. MINIMUM-SECURITY PRISON - CHECK-OUT STATION - DAY GUARD #2 Ocean, Daniel. Danny steps forth, and GUARD #1 doles out his possessions and a form certifying their return to Danny. GUARD #2 Sign. (adding a piece of mail to the pile) This came today for you. Rest'll be forwarded to your parole officer. GUARD #1 (reading its return address over Danny's shoulder) Those your lawyers? DANNY My wife's.
He opens the letter, and as his eyes gaze over the papers within, he smirks just a little. GUARD #1 What's it say?

CONTINUED:
DANNY I'm a free man.
INT. CHANGING CUBICLE
Danny pulls on civilian clothes and there's not a bare thread among them. He tugs his cuffs and smiles: The old skin feels good. One last item to don: a silver wedding band. Danny considers it. Will he put it on?
EXT. MINIMUM-SECURITY PRISON - FRONT GATE - AFTERNOON
3.
A sign reads: "NEW JERSEY STATE MINIMUM-SECURITY CORRECTIONAL FACILITY." Someone has graffitied below it: "If you were in prison, you'd be home now."
The great metal door opens, and Danny stands within its frame, ready for release. (If it matters -- and if you notice -- he's wearing his wedding ring.)
He hovers there for a moment, on the precipice of freedom. The WIND WHISTLES a little on the other side of the gate, and the view ahead is not pleasant (New Jersey): Life is hard out there.
But Danny musters his courage, then takes his first step into free America...
EXT. ATLANTIC CITY BOARDWALK - DUSK
Any empty wintery boardwalk.
INT. CASINO (ATLANTIC CITY) - NIGHT
... And his wingtip lands squarely on plush red carpeting.
As we PULL UP TO Danny's face and SPIN AROUND him, we hear, then see the BUZZ of a CASINO floor: the HUM of CONVERSATION, the DING-DING-DING and THUNK-THUNK-THUNK from the SLOTS, the brisk WHIR of SHUFFLED CARDS.
And to Danny, it's a hearth and fire and a comfy chair and a snifter of brandy. He's home.
ON DANNY'S WALLET
As he pulls out several crisp one hundreds, sets them on green felt, then sees them replaced by a neat pile of chips.

AT BLACKJACK TABLE
4.
Danny cranes his neck about the casino, looking for someone -- a friend, somebody who should be here -- but without success. He turns his attention back to his cards, and the cards of the dealer.
Nine-ten. Stay. Dealer -- seventeen. Danny wins. King-four. Dealer shows a six. Stick. Dealer busts. Queen-ace. Twenty-one. Danny wins again.
A second dealer relieves the first, and Danny recognizes him with a smile -- this wasn't the friend he was scouting for, but two hours out of the joint any familiar face is welcome.
DANNY Hello, Frank.
The new dealer (FRANK CATTON) glances up at Danny, and his eyes go wide, like a priest who's discovered he's dealing communion wafers to the pontiff himself. He quickly hides his astonishment.
FRANK I beg your pardon, sir. You must have me confused with someone else. My name is Ramon. See?
He taps the name embroidered on his vest, although he is the most African-looking Ramon you've ever seen. A pit boss circles close by and glares at them both.
DANNY My mistake... (collecting his chips, doubled) Table's cold anyway.
FRANK You might try the lounge at the Grand, sir. It gets busy around one.
DANNY (as he goes) Thanks.
INT. LOUNGE AT GRAND
Danny checks his watch -- 12:58 -- then the lounge around him: prison had more nightlife. He nurses a bourbon, folds back the New York Times and scans.

CONTINUED:
His eyes move down the page and stop at a header --"Vegas' Paradiso to be Razed; Former Owner Denounces Plans" -- accompanied by two photographs...
5.
The first: Tan, well-coiffed developer and new owner of the Paradiso, Terry Benedict, with a beautiful (if barely visible) woman on his arm. The second: scowling former owner, Reuben Tishkoff.
FRANK (O.S.) Catching up on current events?
Danny lowers the paper; Frank is sitting across from him, changed out of his dealer's threads.
Ramon?
DANNY
FRANK Glad to meet you. Frank Catton wouldn't get by the gaming board. (beat) You just out?
DANNY This afternoon.
FRANK (re: Danny's drink and whereabouts) And already turning over a new leaf.
Frank signals a passing waitress; she ignores him.
DANNY (directly, this is why he's here) You seen him?
FRANK Last I heard he was in L.A. Teaching movie stars how to play cards. (beat) Why? You don't have something planned already?
DANNY You kidding? I just became a citizen again.
Frank stares at Danny a moment, finally catches his eye, and Danny can't help but grin: of course he has.

INT. SUB SHOP - NIGHT
MOVING WITH Danny and Frank. FRANK It's tough now, our line of work. Everybody so serious. Too many guns, too many computers. Whadda you gonna do? Steal from ordinary people?
DANNY That would be criminal. FRANK So what's left? Banks? Hah. Banks got no money. It's all electronic. Only place that still takes cash is...
Casinos.
DANNY
FRANK (realizing) Oh, no...
Oh, yes...
When?
DANNY
FRANK
DANNY Soon. Interested?
Frank smiles. Danny has his answer.
INT. SUB SHOP - FOYER - NIGHT

Danny pulls a business card from his jacket, picks up the phone again, and dials the card's number.

DANNY Yes, Officer Brooks? My name is Danny Ocean. I'm just out, I'm supposed to check in with you within twenty-four hours. (listens) No, sir, I haven't gotten into any trouble. No drinking, no sir. (listens, finishes his bourbon) No, sir, I wouldn't even think of leaving the state.

EXT. HOLLYWOOD CLUB (DEEP) - REAR ENTRANCE - NIGHT
7.
PULLING OFF the Capitol Building, we PICK UP Rusty (tall, angular, ebony) leaning against his Ford Falcon.
TOPHER (O.S.) Hey! Hey, Rusty!
Rusty turns to the voice and --
ANOTHER ANGLE
CUT TO:
MOVING WITH him and Topher Grace, the actor, as they push down a back alley.
TOPHER Hey, I don't know if you're, uh, you know, incorporated or anything, like Rusty Ryan. And, I don't know, incorporated, but you should think about it, really, 'cause I was talking to my manager yesterday --
Bernie?

TOPHER No, not Bernie, I mean not, not that Bernie, my business manager, he's also Bernie, he was telling me that since this, what we do, could be considered research for, you know, a future gig, that I should be able to write it off as a business expense. So he suggested that it'd be better if I wrote you a check, and thereby --
Rusty looks at him: are you stoned?
TOPHER Or, or we could keep it cash.
By this time, they should have entered --

INT. HOLLYWOOD CLUB (DEEP) - NIGHT
-- where they must weave through hordes of young Hollywood nightclubbers.
RUSTY Alright. Who's here?
TOPHER Josh is here. Seth is here. David couldn't make it. He's got two weeks of reshoots on Lusitania because somebody just figured out forty percent of the budget is coming from Germany.
RUSTY That's a problem.
TOPHER Barry is here.
RUSTY I thought they let him out to do that H.B.O. thing in Vancouver.
TOPHER Couldn't work the dates. Oh, and he brought his girlfriend.

INT. BACK ROOM - NIGHT
Small but stylish. Rusty enters, Topher in tow.
RUSTY Good evening, guys. Let's play some cards...
9.
A glance at the table reveals: the three waiting players are all young TV stars (Josh Jackson, Seth Green, Barry Watson) here for a group poker lesson with Rusty. (One star, indeed, has brought his girlfriend, Katie, also a known actress, to observe.)
A glance back at Rusty reveals: he's in for a long night.
RUSTY ... and let's play some cards.
AT TABLE - LATER
The group lesson has begun.
TOPHER A hundred bucks to me... (mulling it over) Ah, what the hell. Pocket change. Call.
Rusty leans into Topher's ear, whispering:

To another player:
RUSTY Seth. You know what you have. Looking at them doesn't change them. Leave 'em where they are and make your bet.
SAME SCENE - LATER
To another player:
RUSTY You're showing. Yeah, I know she's your girlfriend, Barry, but you can't... Thank you.
SAME SCENE - LATER
To another:
RUSTY Josh. Deal to your left.
SAME SCENE - LATER
A WAITRESS enters from the club, and DANCE MUSIC with her. As she distributes a fresh round:
WAITRESS One McCallum neat. And four bottled waters.
Rusty takes in the sight -- bottled fucking water on a poker table.
SETH (triumphantly) Two pair -- nines and twos.
10.
Rusty checks his hand: a full-house full of face cards.
