Scenes with Rusty Ryan
23 scenes Rusty Ryan Well, she said she liked surprises...
I don't think that is what she meant.
Rusty Ryan You think?
So she dropped the remote...
Rusty Ryan And I put the towel back on.
Well, those are the waters.
Rusty Ryan Relationships can be...
Sure.
Rusty Ryan But they're also...
That's right.
That's your idea?
Well, we've shaken all the trees, we've looked under every rock, we've searched every... I mea... We've talked to everybody we can trust. I know it's not a great idea but it is an idea and I think as long as we have one idea we shouldn't give up.
Rusty Ryan I was really hoping to avoid that this time.
I don't care if it gets messy.
I'll drive you. We'll get him leaving his barber.
Livingston Dell And I'll inject him.
And I'll find a spot to get rid of the body.
Rusty Ryan All valid ideas. Great initiative. But...
But...
They built 'em smaller back then.
Rusty Ryan They seemed big.
Town's changed.
Rusty Ryan Are you alright?
Yeah, um, I just bit into a pepper.
Rusty Ryan Is that... are you... are you watching Oprah? With a bottle of wine?
Rusty Ryan It can't be done.
We don't have the manpower.
Or the time.
Rusty Ryan Or a way in.
Rusty Ryan The problem is security were drawing a blank. It's a little spooky.
[talking to Danny on the phone]
The specs aren't on the gray maket, the black market or any other market and all I keep hearing is there's never been a system like this. Now I found out where they designed it but I can't even get in the building. I've blown all my buy money, my bribe money, four of my best I.D.'s and I am nowhere...well not only am I nowhere I'm pretty sure I'm being followed.
Do you have anything?
Yeah I think I have a name but I don't even know if its right. They're calling it-
The Greco. The Greco Player Tracker.
Shut it down, guys. Shut her down!
It is shut down.
Rusty Ryan This is no time for jokes, fellas.
Does it sound like I'm laughing, sweetheart?
Rusty [Meeting Danny on a plane to Vegas]
What's the latest?
Nothing. They say the first 24 hours are...
Rusty Right... Did she understand?
It's not their fight.
Rusty Did she understand?
...It's not their fight.
Reuben...he always was too trusting.
Is, Saul. Is.
Right, is.
Rusty [Yen says something in Mandarin]
Well, you try talking him out of it next time.
Look, Bank hurt Reuben. I know how that makes me feel. I know what that makes me want to do.
Well, I'll you what I'd do, and I don't care if it gets messy.
I'll drive you. We'll get him leaving his barber.
Livingston And I'll inject him.
And I'll find a spot to get rid of the body.
Rusty All valid ideas. Great initiative. But...
But...Even though Bank stepped over the line, we need to do what is best for Reuben.
Rusty Which means we offer Bank a "Billy Martin."
And, what? He takes it and gets away with it?
Those are the rules.
No, those are the rules for someone who understands the rules, which Bank don't. He already broke them. So he don't get the chance.
For Reuben...I think we give him a chance.
Rusty So then she says, "What did I do?" and I say, "What do I look like, a pancake eater?"
Hmm. So you left it there on the floor?
Rusty Right on the floor.
For how long?
Rusty Next morning.
What did you say?
Rusty What could I say?
Nothing.
Rusty That's what I said.
[Feeling a waitress' arm]
I'm afraid we're going to have to let you go. Turn in your uniform.
Waitress
I only gained four pounds, you can't!
Sorry, sweetie, but your Body Mass Index is nowhere near where it's supposed to be.
Waitress
But Ms. Sponder-
Oh no, honey. It's your butt that's the problem. [Smugly walks off, Linus having observed the whole thing]
[cuts to Linus, Frank, Rusty, and Danny talking]
Man, you can't fire no waitresses based on appearance, that's just unconstitutional.
IF they were waitresses.
Yeah, they're actually hired as "models who serve", so that Bank can monitor their personal appearance.
Rusty It's a cruel, cruel practice.
Couldn't we just shut it off, you know, cut the wires?
That could work. Even better, you could just kick the plug right out of the socket!
I'm serious-
No, short of walking in with a bloody magnetron around your neck- You do know what a magnetron is?
Short of that...I...[laughs] I can't believe I am even talking about this, because...this is a problem!
That's what I said.
Rusty But if we could-
No, there is no 'if'! It can not be shut off! I mean, you need a real natural disaster, an act of God!
Rusty But if we could beat it-
You can't.
Rusty But if we could-
You can't.
Rusty You could.
Look, IF we could shut it off, how long would it take to reboot?
Because it's so sophisticated, 3 and a half minutes.
Rusty Pick your natural disaster.
[Stands with Rusty in front of the Bellagio]
I remember when this used to be The Dunes. Reuben taught me to shoot craps here when I was a kid. I'd play Hard Ways and Double Sixes; he straightened me out. I was twenty...two.
Rusty The first time I ever met Reuben, he looked me off getting cheated at an all-dealers game at the El Rancho, then he bought me breakfast. [Looks off to the side] The Sands was there, Desert Inn...
They built 'em smaller back then.
Rusty They seemed big.
...Town's changed.
Rusty [notices Danny teary-eyed]
Are you alright?
Yeah, um, I just bit into a pepper.
Rusty [sees the television is on Oprah, where she gives a family a new house]
Is that... are you... are you watching Oprah? With a bottle of wine? Did you TiVo this?
I was reading the paper.
Rusty [unconvinced]
With the sound at full volume?
It's...not just the kids. I mean, I'm happy for the kids. [Rusty nods] How's it going in Mexico?
Rusty Well, Turk's there. [pause] Are they really going to build her a new home?
Yeah, for the whole family.
[Rusty also starts to sniffle and tear up]
Have you guys been talking to my dad?
Why would we do that?
That's not a "no."
Look...
Rusty He just wanted to know how the nose was working for you.
Oh, I knew it, man! He just can't leave it alone! What did you tell him?
Rusty Oh, I told him the nose plays.
The nose does play.
Rusty The nose plays.
It's great, it's huge.
Benedict [When Danny, Rusty, and Linus ask for his help]
Number one: If any of you try to screw with me, you're dead. And I'll be looking into the whole operation. Number two: If I lend you this money, I'm your senior partner, last money in, first money out...And you will double my investment.
Double.
Benedict ...Is that a yes?
Rusty Ryan Double.
Benedict [nods]
That monstrosity that Bank calls a hotel casts a shadow over my pool. Break him. Break him in half. The man has no taste. Yet every time he opens a hotel, he wins a Royal Review Board Five Diamond Award. Every time he wins, he celebrates by...
We know, by buying one for his wife.
You mean five.
Rusty One is five.
Benedict Number three: I want you to steal the diamonds.
Rusty It can't be done.
We don't have the manpower.
Or the time.
Rusty Or a way in.
We get caught, we go away for life! We're not going to risk that just so you can get his diamonds!
Benedict Oh, I don't want them. I just want him to lose what matters most to him. Do what you want with them. But either you steal the diamonds, [shrugs] or you get somebody else to finance your drill.
Rusty News from Mexico, from a journalista I used to...uh, anyway, she's an ally of the workers. Now, what she tells me is that the strike hinges on working conditions and the fact that labor feels they're underpaid by 50%. I guess you can agree, Terry, it's always about the money.
How much are they asking for?
Rusty $36,000.
And how many workers?
Rusty 200, give or take.
Right, so that adds up to...
Livingston Just over $7 million.
Rusty No, not $36,000 each; $36,000 total.
Rusty It is a 5% increase.
Well, write them a check. [looks at Terry and shrugs] We'll post-date it.
[briefing Roman on Bank and his hotel]
Bank's swinging for the fences on this one. Forget weekenders and conventioneers, he's built this place for whales. It's a shoo-in for the Five Diamond Award. The marble was hand-picked in Italy...
Rusty The chefs stolen from the highest rated restaurants in the Michelin Guide book...
And in the villas for his big players, the silverware is actually gold. Now Bank's greatest strength is also his weakness: Ego.
Danny
[discussing the Bank heist plan with Roman]
We're going to get his whales.
How?
Rusty He talked to Denny Shields.
Denny Shields? After he bragged about you guys to Toulour and started that whole slog?
Rusty We need him.
Denny
[Scene cuts to Ocean and Denny Shields conversing at a cafe]
I should've kept my mouth shut. I mean, he was just some guy and I guessed I pissed him off...
Danny
It's okay, Denny. You had no idea who he was, so just let it go.
Denny
No, but really-
Danny
Just let it go. Let it go.
Denny
Well, okay. Everything else is set. I got 18 whales. Now I spoke to their managers, I spoke to their handlers, and I spoke to their assisstants. Every one of them is going to leave. We're going to do it in two tiers. I'm going to leave first, they're going to follow.
Danny
Good.
Denny
But you have to make sure these guys win, 'cause these fellas usually lose, and when they lose, they get comped.
Danny
They're going to win big.
Danny
Five-hundred
Million? That night, just the group of you?
Rusty No–
Danny
It's a Reverse Big Store.
Right...
Rusty Doesn't matter who wins...
As long as the casino loses, yes. That might actually work. So, you'll need to rig...
Danny
Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, Slots.
[For this, everyone but Basher's voice is from a radio]
Bank's going to run the prints off the card machine.
Damn, he's good.
Danny
He'll get Livingston's ID and known associates.
Rusty That's us.
Uh, what do we have in place for this?
Danny
Nothing. We all get arrested and Bank will have the best night of his life.
Rusty We can't let it get to Bank.
[During above conversation, Basher notices an ad promoting stunt biker Fender Roads and notices he resembles him somewhat and then notes his "Speaking With Distinction" book.]
I know what to do. We'll set up a Cartwheel. Back of the house, 15 minutes.
Danny
Who's going to hack this?
Well, the ideal person's in the back of a car in handcuffs.
I can handle it.
Dann
Anybody else?
This is Virgil, I'll give it a shot.
I can handle it!
Danny
Virgil, it is.
Rusty Get it done, Virg.
