...with the rapacious Pacino. (It used to be Gould's gold; now it's a Pacino casino.) Clooney & Co. agree to avenge their old pal by taking Pacino down: rigging the games so he loses millions on opening night, stealing a cache of precious diamonds from the usual impenetrable display and subverting his fond expectation of winning for his hotel the highest five diamonds rating from some imaginary Michelin guide.

A member of parliament watching the recalcitrant cows said he thought it was the most pathetic display of bovine appetite in more than a decade.
