6	"The _____ Job" is a standard titling template for crime stories, especially [[TheCaper caper]] stories. Often -- though not always -- the blank is filled in with the location where the crime is going to take place; as a result, the most common version of this is probably "The Bank Job".

Not as a title, but in ''Ocean's Twelve'' a side character brings up the events of the first movie to another, calling it the "Ocean's Job"; this leads to a small disagreement from the group when they find out, who thought that it was understood that it would be referred to as the "Bellagio Job" by all involved.
