Billy Beane has a sit down with the owner of the Boston Red Sox, John Henry.

Moneyball. Brad Pitt stars in this film about Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane and his attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players. Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) challenges the system and defies conventional wisdom when his is forced to rebuild his small-market team on a limited budget. Despite opposition from the old guard, the media, fans and their own field manager (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Beane - with the help of a young, number-crunching, Yale-educated economist (Jonah Hill) - develops a roster of misfits…and along the way, forever changes the way the game is played.

What’s great about this movie, is the dialogue seems so organic. How people actually talk.

[jackbauer]

Call me ludacrious, but I believe Arliss Howard in this scene gives one of the great acting performances ever. It's the most authentic dialogue I've ever heard. I genuinely thought they cast a real person for the role, and not an actor, until I realized who it was much later. It's a stunningly good scene. Best in the entire film I say.

[fuita]

The look he gives him AFTER he sees the number was priceless, and you cut it short.

[DiRF]

If this movie is truly reflective of Beane's personality and mentality, then Henry might have had a better chance recruiting him with a much smaller offer. I think the $12.5M scared Beane off, bringing up too many bad memories of the original player recruitment contract he signed out of high school.

For those who don't know, this is Pvt Cowboy from Full Metal Jacket!

[heihei]

One thing this movie completely fails to mention is that while the 2002 A's starting lineup was not going to frighten you, their starting pitching rotation (big 3) was arguably the best in the American League that year. Billy Beane aside, the A's have to give a lot of credit to Zito, Hudson and Mulder.

[msmith]

That little folded piece of paper said 12.5 million over five years which would have made him the highest paid GM in the history of sports.

[decarlocalloway]

The fact that sports handicappers used this type of analysis for decades & nobody in the game of baseball did before is incredible.

[dolphinsmlb]

Such an inspiring scene. I sometimes need to hear John Henry's words (via Private Cowboy) to not get discouraged when one faces hurdles to challenging the norm and making things better.

[falloutworldrecord]

Right in the first few seconds you get the contrast between the Red Socks and the A's budget and sheer scale. Of course, there's Fenway Park that dwarfs Oakland's. But more so is the coffee that's being brought to them on two silver platers by a young beautiful woman. Compared to Billy coming in each morning asking his secretary (not so young anymore) if the pot is on (which happened at least two times before in the movie).

[ImranSahir]

One of the greatest movies I have ever seen.

[SigMan]

Arliss Howard is incredible in this scene

[robertleslie]

Love this scene. Private Cowboy makes it. Brad Pitt just happens to be in it.

[tomitstube]

billy turned it down, since that offer the red sox have been to 4 world series, won them all, and been to the playoffs 11 out of 19 years. getting ownership away from the yawkey's was key.

[DenizCDemir]

I don't know baseball, but as a management major, I think the thing that people tend to misunderstand about this movie is that "moneyball" is not a completely upside down way of thinking. You don't suddenly say good players are bad or bad players are good. But its about using scientific metrics over intangible factors. The NBA has the same flaws. People talk about "Closers" and "Killer mentalities" and players who lack discipline etc. None of these matter because they are subjective. They are false narratives created by dinosaurs in the media. Everything can be narrowed down to a science. We don't need to talk about that look in LeBron James' eye when we literally have solid statistics and metrics that detail how good he is in game and end-game situations.

[luiscastillo]

every time I watch these clips I find new things to reflect on... Here the Red Sox owner has a great conversation with Pitt, but in the end his results, metrics, and overall value is expressed numerically by how he with a small budget produced so much.

[Glickan]

I'm smiling because the acting is soo good.

[Executor]

You cut the part that makes the setting for this scene, the part were they’re walking along the seating and John Henry says “With due respect to the Coliseum, but this is a ballpark” to what Billy responds “Yes it is”, probably the best line of the movie.

[Dynasty]

Arliss just has one of those voices you could listen to all day

[persinitrix]

You could be the strongest, you could be the fastest, but the smartest and most adaptive will catch up to you
