Funny / Ocean's 11

Go To

  • Mushy says he thought Acebos needed him for something.
    Acebos: Heart attacks! That's what I need all of you for!
  • Acebos's exasperation that he can't get either Danny or Jimmy to answer the phone.
    Acebos: Clowns, they've got to be! I like clowns, but they should be funny!
  • Danny finally answers the phone.
    Danny: This is a recording. You've dialled the right number. Now please hang up and don't do it again. [hangs up]
  • Mushy's efforts to build a house of cards, which are repeatedly foiled by Acebos hitting the table.
  • Jimmy phones his mother and asks her to give him some money. She asks what he wants it for, and he snarks he's going to paper the walls with it.
  • Danny pretends to be a policeman and makes a prank call to Acebos, telling him that Danny and Jimmy have been killed. Acebos calls a taxi and asks it to take him to the morgue, then finds Danny, Jimmy and Sam are in the backseat.
    Acebos: You low, miserable... I cry, but not for you or you or you! For my money, you could drop dead!
  • Danny, Sam and Jimmy are about to leave when Adele arrives. Sam and Jimmy run into the next room and leave Danny to face her alone.
  • Four of the group discuss their plans for what they'll do with the money. Acebos grumbles that listening to them is rotting his brain.
  • "Vote for Sam Harmon! Help stamp out mental health!"
  • "Why don't you become an ambassador? You could be a big man in some foreign country." "Make that a little foreign country. We don't want a big enemy."
  • Jimmy's mother finds out he's in Las Vegas, but thinks it's because he met a woman (or "some jiggly little number", as she puts it).
    Adele: "Jiggly little number" isn't exactly the way I would describe Danny Ocean. He's more like a well-mannered shark.
  • The ending.
    "What's that noise?"
    "Cremation. The coffin is being burnt."
