Parole Board Officer: (entering) Good afternoon, Miss Ocean.
Debbie Ocean: Hi.
Parole Board Officer: As you know, parole is a privilege. And one of the restrictions on any parolee, is to avoid the company of any person who has a criminal record of any kind. That would include most of your extended family.
Debbie Ocean: Yeah, that's obviously not something I'm proud of.
Parole Board Officer: Would this pose an impossible challenge for you?
Debbie Ocean: No. No. I don't want that life. I never wanted that life. My brother, um... May he rest in peace, was a criminal. I loved him, but he was a conman. It was in his blood.
Parole Board Officer: And it's not in your blood?
Debbie Ocean: No. No, sir. Um... I fell for the wrong person. It was a mistake. Uh... But it happened. And if I were to be released, I would, um...
(tearing up)
Debbie Ocean: Sorry. Wow, just saying that...
(exhales heavily)
Debbie Ocean: If I were to be released,
(clears throat)
Debbie Ocean: I would just want the simple life. I just wanna hold down a job, make some friends, go for a walk after work in the fresh air and pay my bills.
- When the group enters the Met Gala, the song "Somewhere My Love (Lara's Theme)" by the James Last Orchetra is playing. This song had also been used in Ocean's Thirteen (2007).
- Daphne extorts her way into Debbie Ocean's gang by commenting that she saw through their poor acting while using her for their caper. In actuality, four of the actresses in the gang are Academy-Award nominated, three of which have won Oscars.
- In the final scene of the movie, Danny's sister Debbie is sitting in front of his grave. She is wearing a black tux with the bow tie open. This is a nod to the opening and ending scene of Ocean's Eleven (2001) when Danny leaves prison in the same outfit, a black tux with the bow tie open.
- Debbie's alleged "Enemies List" seems to in fact be a list of cons she's pulled off, reminiscent of the cons Steven Soderbergh made up for Ocean's Eleven (2001). Included (and crossed off) on the list are More the Merrier, Made in Heaven, Hallelujah Time, Spring Break!, Crack in the Mirror, Poof!, and Deviled Eggs. She crosses off Who's Who after this movie's caper is finished, suggesting the caper was a Who's Who. Still to be run is the last item, Cupid's Delight.
- There are actually nine people involved in the heist, with the last person being a former member of Danny Ocean's team.
