A scene from Moneyball 2011
Billy Beane

Art, you got a minute?

Art Howe

Yeah. Take a seat.

Billy Beane

You can't start Peña at first tonight. You'll have to start Hatteberg.

Art Howe

Yeah, I don't want to go fifteen rounds, Billy. The lineup card is mine, and that's all.

Billy Beane

That lineup card is definitely yours. I'm just saying you can't start Peña at first.

Art Howe

Well, I am starting him at first.

Billy Beane

I don't think so. He plays for Detroit now.

Art Howe

You traded Peña?

Billy Beane

Yeah. And Menechino, Hiljus, Tam are all being sent down.

Art Howe

You are outside your mind.

Billy Beane

Yeah. Cuckoo.

Jeremy Giambi

[knocking on door]

You wanted to see me?

Billy Beane

Yeah, Jeremy, grab a seat.

Billy Beane

[Jeremy sits down]

Jeremy, you've been traded to the Phillies. This is Ed Wade's number. He's a good guy, he's the GM. He's expecting your call. Buddy will help you with the plane flight. You're a good ballplayer, Jeremy, and we wish you the best.

Billy Beane

[Jeremy sighs, and exits]

Jeremy's gone, too.

Art Howe

[shaking his head in disbelief]

You're killing this team.
