Scenes from "Ocean's Eleven"

"A Liar and a Thief"



This scene occurs just after Danny has gotten out of prison. He's come back to patch up things with his wife Tess after their long separation. The conversation between them, typical of the Ocean's series, is full of irony, sarcasm, and back-and-forth jokes between the two. There is also great call back to the "liar and thief" line later in the film (see the scene below).

"Personal Effects"



This scene comes at the end of the film after the gang has successfully pulled off their heist. The reunion between Danny and Tess marks a happy ending for the film, and the presence of Benedict's goons at the end leaves the series open for a sequel.
