Moneyball (2011)

Barry Moss: Scout Barry

Quotes 

• Scout Barry : We're all told at some point in time that we can no longer play the children's game, we just don't... don't know when that's gonna be. Some of us are told at eighteen, some of us are told at forty, but we're all told.

• Billy Beane : [Suggesting a player for first base]  Scott Hatteberg.

  Scout Barry : Who?

  Billy Beane : Exactly. The guy sounds like an Oakland A already.

• Billy Beane : Guys, you're just talking. Talking, "la-la-la-la", like this is business as usual. It's not.

  Grady Fuson : We're trying to solve the problem here, Billy.

  Billy Beane : Not like this you're not. You're not even looking at the problem.

  Grady Fuson : We're very aware of the problem. I mean...

  Billy Beane : Okay, good. What's the problem?

  Grady Fuson : Look, Billy, we all understand what the problem is. We have to...

  Billy Beane : Okay, good. What's the problem?

  Grady Fuson : The problem is we have to replace three key players in our lineup.

  Billy Beane : Nope. What's the problem?

  Pittaro : Same as it's ever been. We've gotta replace these guys with what we have existing.

  Billy Beane : Nope. What's the problem, Barry?

  Scout Barry : We need 38 home runs, 120 RBIs and 47 doubles to replace.

  Billy Beane : Ehh!

  [imitates buzzer] 

  Billy Beane : The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us. It's an unfair game. And now we've been gutted. We're like organ donors for the rich. Boston's taken our kidneys, Yankees have taken our heart. And you guys just sit around talking the same old "good body" nonsense like we're selling jeans. Like we're looking for Fabio. We've got to think differently. We are the last dog at the bowl. You see what happens to the runt of the litter? He dies.

• Grady Fuson : Artie, who do you like?

  Scout Artie : I like Perez. He's got a classy swing; its a real clean stroke.

  Scout Barry : He can't hit a curve ball.

  Scout Artie : Yeah, there's some work to be done, I'll admit that.

  Scout Barry : Yeah, there is.

  Scout Artie : But he is noticeable.

  Matt Keough : And an ugly girlfriend.

  Scout Barry : What does that mean?

  Matt Keough : Ugly girlfriend means no confidence.

  Scout Barry : OK.

  [Beane buries his head in hands out of frustration with the conversation] 

  John Poloni : Now you guys are full of it. Artie's right. This guy's got an attitude and an attitude is good. I mean it's the kind of guy who walks into a room and his dick has already been there for two minutes.

  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.

  Matt Keough : I'm just saying his girlfriend is a 6 at best.
