Ocean's

And as toward Scythia and Rhipaean heights the world mounts upward, likewise sinks it down toward Libya and the South, this pole of ours still towering high, that other 'neath their feet by dark Styx frowned on, and the abysmal shades.

Here glides the huge Snake forth with sinuous coils 'twixt the two Bears and round them weaverwise, the Bears that fear 'neath Ocean's brim to dip.

There either, say they, reigns the eternal hush of Night that knows no seasons, her black pall thick-mantling fold on fold; or thitherward from us returning Dawn brings back the day.

And when the first breath of his panting steeds on us the Orient flings, that hour with them red Vesper 'gins to trim his lated fires.

Mark, too, the earth by outland tillers tamed, and eastern homes of Arabs, and tattooed Gaetuli.

To all trees their native lands allotted are: no clime but India bears black ebony; the branch of frankincense is Saba's sons' alone.

Why tell to thee of balsams oozing from the perfumed wood, or berries of acanthus ever green? Of Æthiop forests hoar with downy wool, or how the seers comb from off the leaves their silky fleece? Of groves which India bears, Ocean's near neighbour, earth's remotest nook, where not an arrow-shot can cleave the air above their tree-tops; yet no laggards they when girded with the quiver.

Medea yields the bitter juices and slow-lingering taste of the blessed citron fruit: than which no aid comes timelier, when fierce steppe-dames drug the cups with simples mixed and spells of baneful power, to drive the deadly poison from the limbs.

It might help if I tell you I work for George Clooney, and I'm reaching out on his behalf.

He is copied on this email, and if you could sign and return the attached NDA, we would like to schedule a phone call soon At that time, the movies O Brother, Where Out- Art Thou? and Ocean's 11 were both in theaters, and George Clooney was becoming a huge movie star.

It turned out the email was from a lawyer who was helping Clooney acquire licensing rights for Warner Brothers to sell Ocean's 11 branded coffee.

Hmm.

Eventually, I did have about a half-hour phone meeting with...

He wanted the coffee to be organic and fair trade.

They had contacted the SCAA because we were a nonprofit, and they were not ready to talk to a roaster or other coffee business yet.

While there were several follow-up emails, including one directly from George Clooney with a question about bird-friendly coffee, as often happens with these things, nothing ever came of it, and as far as I know, there was never an Ocean's 11 branded coffee.

They're...

It feels like they're part of that whole kind of Ocean's Tha- uh, Ocean's Eight crowd of these just women who hang out and have each other's back and, you know, I, I like that.

So when Sally runs to Michael, This Kiss by Faith Hill plays.

Mm-hmm.

And so tell us a little bit about your story.

So you got in the Ocean Eleven.

You kind of thought it was awesome.

Yeah.

I guess they do, but...

And for us, it was like Ocean's Eleven.

We had friends who were producers who had been caught up in the firing spree.

In my lifetime, the best congressional correspondent I've ever worked with is Candy Crowley.

Yeah.

Like, yeah, I've brought up Ocean's 11, like all the Ocean's movies.

Oh, Hook.

Yeah.

She is stunning.

Yeah.

And, uh, that gave me energy of, like, Tess in Ocean's.

Is that what you're calling it?

My guest today is, boy, one of the greatest actresses of all time.

She's, you might have seen her in movies like The Heat, okay? You might have seen her in movies like The Proposal, maybe The Net, okay? Oh boy, I don't know, Ocean's 8? Okay, she's been in every, Gravity, where her and George Clooney are floating around just trying to find out what the fuck's going on, you know, just trapped in space.

You know, what, George, you know.

But she has a new movie out September 10th, Practical Magic 2.

Check

him out.

Billy Ocean or the Pacific Ocean?

Oh, well...
