It's never been tried. Ho, ho... "It's never been tried." It's been tried. A few guys even...

Danny: [during lunch with Reuben with Rusty present] It's never been tried. Reuben: Ho, ho... "It's never been tried." It's been tried. A few guys even came close. You know the three most successful robberies in the history of Vegas? [flashback - the gaming room at the Horseshow, in black-and-white] Reuben: [voiceover] Number three, the Bronze Medal - pencil-neck grabs a lockbox at the Horseshoe... [a man grabs a lockbox out of a guard's hand and runs for the door, and six guards instantly tackle him to the floor] Reuben: He got two steps closer to the door than any living soul before him. [cut to the present] Reuben: Second most successful robbery... [flashback - the gaming room at the Flamingo, in grainy color. A long-haired man is running for the door, clutching a bag] Reuben: The Flamingo in '71. This guy actually tasted fresh oxygen before they grabbed him. [the man gets within a few feet of the door, before a guard smashes him across the face with a nightstick] Reuben: Of course, he was breathing out of a hose for the next three weeks. Goddamn hippy. [back to the present] Reuben: And the *closest* any man has ever come to robbing a Las Vegas casino... [flashback - outside Caesar's Palace, in color. A man runs out, hunched over an armful of cash, followed by three security guards] Reuben: Was outside of Caesar's in '87. He came, he grabbed... [the three guards shoot the thief in the back] Reuben: [security guards shot the robbers as they tried to run away with the stolen money] They conquered.
