Ocean's 12

1 A MULTI-COLORED SCREEN 1 After a few introductory credits, we pull back to reveal the source of this kaleidoscopic backdrop: A SINGLE, STRIPED TULIP, planted in a long row of other tulips. A HAND reaches in and pulls the tulip from the ground. We then cut to: 1A A BASKET of tulips, carried by hand to a truck, where it 1A is loaded with hundreds of other baskets. The door of the truck is SHUT and we cut to: 1B The door of the truck OPENING to reveal that the tulips 1B are now boxed and crated. A forklift moves the crates onto a wagon, which is driven by a MANNED CART across the biggest warehouse on the planet, the Bloenen Markt (CHECK THIS-- steven) in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The cart and wagons we were following disappear into a maze of synchronized activity. 1C The cart arrives in the AUCTION ROOM, which is 1C constructed like an ampitheater: the buyers sit in a steeply raked semi-circle, facing two giant, clock-shaped scoreboards that display the bids on the flowers being viewed. The striped tulips fetch a very high price. 1D The carts of striped tulips are delivered to an automated 1D sorting apparatus of enormous size and complexity. They end up on a truck heading for the airport. 1E The tulips are loaded onto a plane. During the transatlantic flight, they sit nestled in the cargo hold. 1F The tulips are unloaded from the plane, driven across an 1F airport tarmac and loaded onto another plane.
