“Sorry about this,�? Pitt says, as her hides behind a low wall to light up a cigarette. “Actually, I’m less worried about the paparazzi catching me than someone, ahem, who doesn’t know I still smoke once in a while.�?

When George Clooney arrives for the interview a few minutes late he yells to Pitt, “You bastard!�?

Pitt: What?

Clooney: I did all these interviews right after you. And all the reporters told me, “Brad said you did the movie for the money!�?

Pitt: [Laughs] I did. Believe I said it was all for the cash.

Clooney: Brutal! [Laughs] How ya doin’?

Entertainment Weekly: Good. Thanks. So I’ve heard that you guys call this movie Ocean’s Thirteen: The One We Should Have Made Last Time.

Pitt: Credit where credit is due. That was [director] Steven Soderbergh’s line.

Clooney: Steven actually wanted to bill it that way, but I don’t think the studio was so thrilled with that. It f---s up the boxed set.

EW: But it does get to a legitimate point, which was that people weren’t so fond of Ocean’s Twelve. Other than for money, why make another one?

Clooney: You know, more than anything we wanted another crack. We wanted to go out on a stronger note—and we felt like we had a great way to do it, which was revenge.

Pitt: I thought you’re a pacifist, George.

Clooney: Well, the movie really is a cry for peace.

EW: Did you know the bad reviews were coming for Twelve?

Clooney: [Laughs] No! I thought we did good, and I’m living in my own…

Pitt: …world of delusions.
