Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) – Ocean’s Eleven
Danny Ocean: What?
Rusty Ryan: I need a reason. And don’t say money. Why do this?
Danny: Why not do it? [Rusty stares at him] 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. Play long enough and never change the stakes, the house takes you. Unless, when that perfect hand comes along, you bet big. Then you take the house.
Rusty: [Pauses] You’ve been practicing that speech, haven’t you?
Danny: A little bit. Did I rush it?
Rusty: No, it was good. I liked it. The Teen Beat thing was harsh.
