FADE IN:

1 EMPTY ROOM WITH SINGLE CHAIR 1

We hear a DOOR OPEN and CLOSE, followed by APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS. DANNY OCEAN, dressed in prison fatigues, ENTERS FRAME and sits.

VOICE (O.S.) Good morning.

DANNY Good morning.

VOICE (O.S.) Please state your name for the record.

DANNY Daniel Ocean.

VOICE (O.S.) Thank you. Mr. Ocean, the purpose of this meeting is to determine whether, if released, you are likely to break the law again. While this was your first conviction, you have been implicated, though never charged, in over a dozen other confidence schemes and frauds. What can you tell us about this?

DANNY As you say, ma'am, I was never charged.

2 INT. PAROLE BOARD HEARING ROOM - WIDER VIEW - MORNING 2

Three PAROLE BOARD MEMBERS sit opposite Danny, behind a table.

BOARD MEMBER #2 Mr. Ocean, what we're trying to find out is: was there a reason you chose to commit this crime, or was there a reason why you simply got caught this time?

DANNY My wife left me. I was upset. I got into a self-destructive pattern.

BOARD MEMBER #3 If released, is it likely you would fall back into a similar pattern?

DANNY She already left me once. I don't think she'll do it again just for kicks.

Glances dart between the Board Members.

BOARD MEMBER #1 Mr. Ocean, what do you think you would do if released?

Danny considers.

DANNY

(deadpan) I don't know. How much do you guys make a year?
