Brace yourself because this movie won't entertain you;
It will not sustain you;
It's very mundane, too;
You can't deny this sequel is trying to fool you;
This 'reboot' will screw you;
Are you willing to lie?
Don't pretend this Bond's not the same;
You know it's laaaaaaaame!
DANIEL CRAIG joins forces with THE MOST INEPT SECRET AGENT EVER to follow SEBASTIEN FOUCAN. SEBASTIEN runs, requiring DANIEL to plow through a construction site, destroying everything in his path.
SEBASTIEN FOUCAN
(running)
You'll never catch me, Daniel Craig!
DANIEL CRAIG
I'm supposed to be chasing you? I thought my mission was to prevent this building from being finished.
He shoots SEBASTIEN.
JUDI DENCH
I can't believe you killed that guy. You're unstable and unpredictable - hardly double-oh caliber! Too bad I didn't realize this before making you one.
Casino 1995 Plot
DANIEL CRAIG
Wait, isn't this supposed to be the 'first' story in the series? Aren't you 70? Am I expected to believe that your character lives to be 120 or something?
DANIEL traces a text message for SEBASTIEN to some country club. He watches security tapes to find out who sent it.
DANIEL CRAIG
Wow, lucky for me this guy's phone and the country club security camera are synched up to the millisecond. Now I know Simon Abkarian is bad.
DANIEL fucks SIMON'S WIFE and beats him in POKER, exactly what any covert secret agent would do. He then follows him to a BODYWORLDS exhibit.
DANIEL CRAIG
A Bodyworlds show? Are we trying to have the silliest set piece in a Bond movie or something? Because I don't think we can top 'fucking space'.
SIMON ABKARIAN
How did you find me? I was so slightly careful!
DANIEL CRAIG
Er, you decided to send the text message in front of the only security camera in the club. You could have even turned around and thwarted me.
SIMON ABKARIAN
Blast! I knew I shouldn't have put so much effort into typing the characters into my phone while I was actively driving a car, solely so that I could send it the exact moment I stepped out into the camera's view!
They STRUGGLE and eventually DANIEL stabs the guy. Then he follows SIMON'S CONTACT to the airport and calls JUDI DENCH.

Some guy is at the airport. I think he's going to blow something up. Also, somehow we both managed to go through the security screening in a matter of seconds without having to take our shoes off or show a boarding pass, despite being in America at a time that we needlessly pointed out was post-9/11.
JUDI DENCH
Makes sense. He plans on blowing up some new plane.
DANIEL CRAIG
I have to rescue a plane? Couldn't there be a beautiful woman in it? I can't have sex with a plane.
He rescues the PLANE. He is then arrested by POLICE, but then ISN'T.
EVA GREEN
Hello. I'm the hot girl for the movie. We need you to enter into a poker game. The villain, Mads Mikkelsen, is playing in it.
DANIEL CRAIG
Great. Let's have an unrealistic psychological pissing contest and then get on with the rest of the damn movie.
They DO. Then they meet up with GIANCARLO GIANNI and DANIEL plays some POKER.
MADS MIKKELSEN
You're no match for my mathematical genius, Daniel. Your chance of beating me on this hand is only 32.33, repeating of course.
DANIEL CRAIG
What's with your eye?
MADS MIKKELSEN
Casino Script Pdf
Oh that? I bleed from my eye.
DANIEL CRAIG
Why? Is that going to end up being your tell or something?
MADS MIKKELSEN
Nope. It's completely irrelevant to the story. It literally means absolutely nothing at all.
DANIEL CRAIG
Wow, what a total waste of everyone's time.
DANIEL plays some more POKER.
GIANCARLO GIANNI
Alright so those are playing cards. You get a few, and then you try to have better ones than the other people at the table.
EVA GREEN
What the hell are you doing?
GIANCARLO GIANNI
I'm explaining what's going on for the benefit of the audience members that don't know how to play poker, who we have symbolically assumed are all female.
EVA GREEN
..
GIANCARLO GIANNI
Okay, now Daniel has to put some of those clay circles on the table, and if he has better cards he can get them all back plus some more.
More POKER is played.
AUDIENCE
This is the worst Celebrity Poker Showdown ever. Daniel Craig and Mads Mikkelsen? Where's Ben Affleck?
DANIEL CRAIG
It all comes down to this final hand, eyebleeder. Everyone is all-in.
MADS MIKKELSEN
But I'm the chip lead. Even if I lose, I'm still in the game.
DANIEL CRAIG
QUIET! Show your cards dramatically.
All four players reveal a succession of statistically improbable hands, subverting the film's attempt to paint poker as a game of skill rather than luck.

Well, the movie is called Casino Royale, and I just won the poker game. I guess the movie is over after one last action scene.
MADS kidnaps EVA and a car chase ensues.
DANIEL CRAIG
Perfect. A big car chase climax and we've got a nice, taut little movie.
Suddenly the car chase ends abruptly. DANIEL gets TORTURED, then NOT TORTURED.
EVA GREEN
Casino Movie Script Springfield
I love you inexplicably. We don't actually need to have any chemistry to get away with this big character change, right?
DANIEL CRAIG
Let's make up for the lack of chemistry by tacking on 30 minutes of trite, mushy garbage.
Their relationship ends VERY BADLY.
DANIEL CRAIG
Ha! This justifies my reprehensible womanizing later in the series!
JUDI DENCH
Now we just need to justify an invisible car driving through an ice castle.
END
Ace Rothstein (Robert De Niro) is surrounded by the press at a Nevada Gaming Commission meeting portrayed in Casino. Rothstein's lawyer, Oscar Goodman (played by Goodman himself), stands by his side. Photo courtesy of Oscar Goodman.
Though the movie Casino was released more than 22 years ago, it still serves as a reference point for those hoping to understand what real Las Vegas mobsters were like when they were a sinister fixture in the news.
But most movies based on true stories, including Casino, twist the facts for dramatic effect and to compress long histories into a watchable timeframe.
What you see in Casino isn't exactly the way things were. Case in point: the death of the Spilotro brothers, two mobsters originally from Chicago.
The way the movie portrays it, the brothers — or at least the fictional characters representing Anthony and Michael Spilotro — are beaten with baseball bats in a cornfield and shoved into a shallow grave while still alive.
Not true.
Casino Movie Script
In his 2009 book Family Secrets: The Case That Crippled the Chicago Mob, journalist Jeff Coen details what really happened. Coen covered the Family Secrets trial for the Chicago Tribune. That 2007 trial resulted in convictions and revealed details that weren't publicly known when the movie came out more than a decade earlier.
In the 1995 movie, it was baseball bats in a cornfield. But according to trial testimony, the Spilotros were lured to a residence near O'Hare International Airport in Bensenville, a subdivision of 'modest homes,' and were beaten to death in the basement. (At the trial, one of the killers, Mob turncoat Nick Calabrese, said he could not recall which house it was.)
Anthony and his brother, Michael, a part-time actor and owner of the Chicago restaurant and Mob hangout Hoagie's, went to the home in June 1986 believing they were to be promoted within the Outfit.
Although the brothers were suspicious, refusing to go was unthinkable.
When the Spilotros got to the basement, about 15 mobsters pounced on them. Michael had brought a pocket-sized .22-caliber handgun but could not get to it. Anthony was heard asking if he could say a prayer but was swarmed.
In addition to breaking Michael's nose, the attackers inflicted blunt force injuries over his entire body. They severely bruised Anthony's face, left temple and chest.
Anthony, 48, had blood in his trachea, lungs and nasal passages and hemorrhaging in the muscles of the larynx. The 41-year-old Michael had a fractured Adam's apple.
Neither man's skin was broken, indicating the killers did not use a heavy object such as a baseball bat. The brothers were beaten with fists, knees and feet, according to a pathologist at the trial.
The Spilotros were dead when buried in an Enos, Indiana, cornfield about 100 miles south of the murder house. The brothers were placed in a five-foot grave in only their underwear, one on top of the other.

The cornfield is near land that Outfit boss Joseph 'Joey Doves' Aiuppa used for hunting, according to Coen. A farmer discovered the grave, thinking someone had buried a deer. The Spilotros were identified by dental X-rays provided by a third bother, Patrick Spilotro, a dentist.
Why did this happen to Anthony and Michael Spilotro? Mob higher-ups felt the two had to be silenced.
Since the early 1970s, Anthony Spilotro had overseen street rackets in Las Vegas for the Chicago Outfit. He also was keeping an eye on Frank 'Lefty' Rosenthal, a Chicago bookie handling the skim in Las Vegas for Midwestern Mob bosses.
Ultimately, though, news stories about Spilotro's violent criminal activities, and his affair with Rosenthal's wife, a former showgirl at the Tropicana hotel-casino, led to the gruesome outcome in that Bensenville basement.
Anthony Spilotro's high-profile legal problems were jeopardizing the Outfit's Las Vegas cash cow, prompting Aiuppa to order him 'knocked down.' Michael Spilotro, facing a trial on extortion charges, had to go, too.
That terrifying outcome is not the only place where Casino misses the mark factually. In another example among many from the film, an animated Kansas City mobster pops off in an Italian grocery about the Las Vegas skim while federal authorities listen to his profanity-laced rant through a bug planted in a vent.
In reality, law enforcement authorities learned about the Las Vegas skim while eavesdropping on a conversation between members of the Civella crime family at a bugged back table in Kansas City's Villa Capri pizzeria. Unlike the movie, there was no humorous scolding mom at the now-demolished Villa Capri nagging her mobster son about his vulgar language.
The only ones at the table were sinister Mob figures, behaving like real-life conspiratorial gangsters, not colorful movie characters.
