Ocean's Twelve Page #5

Would you agree?

If all the animals along the equator

were capable of flattery...

...then Thanksgiving and Halloween...

...would fall on the same date.

Yeah. Hey.

When I was 4 years old...

...I watched my mother

kill a spider with a tea cozy.

Years later, I realized

it was not a spider.

It was my Uncle Harold.

Oh, let the sun beat down

upon my face

Stars to fill my dreams

I am a traveler in both time and space

To be where I have been

Is he all right? Are we all right?

- "Kashmir"?

- Is that your idea of a contribution?

- We hadn't even started yet.

- We were this close to losing that.

Okay, I don't even understand what

happened in there. What did I say?

- You called his niece a whore.

- A cheap one.

- She's 7.

- Confined to bed with a case of...

- No, don't tell him about it.

- I'm sorry.

Okay. So, what does this mean?

It means you stay here.

The mark's name is van der Woude.

A semi-known, wealthy recluse.

He claims to sell antiques,

but hasn't actually sold one.

His store is his privately owned home,

which no one ever enters.

But don't let van der Woude's

eccentricity fool you.

The house is extremely well-protected.

- What are we after?

- It's a document.

It's a very old, very valuable document.

- Yeah, what is it?

- A stock certificate.

The first one ever issued

from the first corporation on the planet.

Dutch East India Trading Company.

- The only one of its kind.

- What's the take?

2.5 million euro.

Wait. Each?

- No.

- Who negotiated this?

- That's a lot of money to a lot of people.

- Are you out of your mind?

If we do one job a week at that rate,

we won't pay Benedict off until...

- September 2005.

- Jesus Christ, Danny.

I hear you, but it's what's available.

After we pull this job off...

...Matsui's gonna throw us another.

It's gonna pay 10 times this one.

- Which buys an extension from Benedict.

- You hope.

I hope. Now, the good news is that

Matsui gave us the system's master code.

- So, what are we waiting for?

- Van der Woude.

- That's the bad news.

- He never leaves.

- He's agoraphobic.

- He's never been out of his house?

- Not in 10 years since he moved in.

- Does he believe in fresh air?

- He opens his window.

- What does that mean?

- Best time of arrival.

- Means he opens his window.

Every night at 1:30 he takes an Ambien,

puts on Beethoven's Third.

By the fourth movement, he's out

like a light. So we go in at 3 a.m.

Okay, can we tap into the system

from the phone lines?

It's a closed-Ioop system with two servers

locked in titanium cases next to his bed.

- So hacking in is out.

- Look at this.

Telephone-repair truck,

basket up to the second floor.
