Arliss Howard as John Henry

(We don't have any quotes for this character)

Jonah Hill as Peter Brand

• (Jonah Hill) "Billy, this is Chad Bradford. He's a relief pitcher. He is one of the most undervalued players in baseball. His defect is that he throws funny. Nobody in the big leagues cares about him, because he looks funny. This guy could be not just the best pitcher in our bullpen, but one of the most effective relief pitchers in all of baseball. This guy should cost $3 million a year. We can get him for $237,000."

• (Jonah Hill) "I wanted you to see these player evaluations that you asked me to do."
• (Brad Pitt) "I asked you to do three."
• (Jonah Hill) "Yeah."
• (Brad Pitt) "To evaluate three players."
• (Jonah Hill) "Yeah."
• (Brad Pitt) "How many you'd do?"
• (Jonah Hill) "Forty-seven."
• (Brad Pitt) "Okay."
• (Jonah Hill) "Actually, fifty-one. I don't know why I lied just then."

• (Jonah Hill) "It's about getting things down to one number. Using stats to reread them, we'll find the value of players that nobody else can see. People are over looked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cuts straight through that. Billy, of the twenty thousand knowable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty five people that we can afford. Because everyone else in baseball under values them. Like an island of misfit toys."

• (Jonah Hill) "It's about getting things down to one number. Using the stats the way we read them, we'll find value in players that no one else can see. People are overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and perceived flaws. Age, appearance, personality. Bill James and mathematics cut straight through that. Billy, of the 20,000 notable players for us to consider, I believe that there is a championship team of twenty-five people that we can afford, because everyone else in baseball undervalues them."

• (Jonah Hill) "There is an epidemic failure within the game to understand what is really happening. And this leads people who run Major League Baseball teams to misjudge their players and mismanage their teams. I apologize."
• (Brad Pitt) "Go on."
• (Jonah Hill) "Okay. People who run ball clubs, they think in terms of buying players. Your goal shouldn't be to buy players, your goal should be to buy wins. And in order to buy wins, you need to buy runs. You're trying to replace Johnny Damon. The Boston Red Sox see Johnny Damon and they see a star who's worth seven and half million dollars a year. When I see Johnny Damon, what I see is -- is -- an imperfect understanding of where runs come from. The guy's got a great glove. He's a decent leadoff hitter. He can steal bases. But is he worth the seven and half million dollars a year that the Boston Red Sox are paying him? No. No. Baseball thinking is medieval. They are asking all the wrong questions. And if I say it to anybody, I'm-I'm ostracized. I'm-I'm-I'm a leper. So that's why I'm-I'm cagey about this with you. That's why I -- I respect you, Mr. Beane, and if you want full disclosure, I think it's a good thing that you got Damon off your payroll. I think it opens up all kinds of interesting possibilities."

• (Brad Pitt) "Pete? It's Billy Beane."
• (Jonah Hill) "Wh-what time is it?"
• (Brad Pitt) "I don't know. Pete, would you have drafted me in the first round?"
• (Jonah Hill) "What?"
• (Brad Pitt) "After we talked, you looked me up. Would you have drafted me in the first round?"
• (Jonah Hill) "Yeah, I did. You-you were pretty good."
• (Brad Pitt) "Cut the crap, Pete. Would you have drafted me in the first round?"
• (Jonah Hill) "I would have picked you in the 9th round. No signing bonus. I think that would have convinced you to accept that scholarship."
• (Brad Pitt) "Pack your bags, Pete. I just bought you from the Cleveland Indians."

• (Chris Pratt) "Yeah."
• (Stephen Bishop) "What's your biggest fear?"

• (Phil Pote) "He passes the eye candy test. He's got the looks. He's great at playing the part. He just needs to get some playing time."
