More people should say “I’m done” when they are done talking.

What a great scene. The soda machine was a great example of frupidity - small frugality that punches way above its weight in terms of the message it sends and its impact on morale.

I really like Movieclips. You don't' put some annoying person talking through the entire scene. You don't beg for people to "smash that like and subscribe button." You don't put some annoying music/flashy intro. You don't even talk at the end. Just show the scene we want to see. And end it with soft music for a few seconds with the option to click on more of your videos. And it works.

Thank you and don't change that format.

“Where on the field is the dollar I’m paying for soda?”

How Billy would have answered “it’s on first base until you get thrown out at second”

[jameschoy]

"Does it make us easier to cut?"
*Dong on the background*
got to love the subtle way of saying he got the answer right 😂

[rmoultonrmoulton]

I love this because I feel like a lot of people would say "You're getting paid millions to play a game...shut up" But what it actually conveys is..."Your organization is irrationally cheap". If you can spend millions to field a team then making them pay small amounts of money here and there stands out...A LOT. Especially when that team knows they are owned by a billionaire.

Next time I’m in the Colosseum I’m gonna sneak down into the clubhouse and get me a soda for a dollar and save four dollars

[rickrose]

The guy playing David Justice is terrific. You can feel Jonah Hill's discomfort. And Billy (Brad Pitt) must've realized the justice (no pun intended) of the complaint. He stopped charging the players for soda in the clubhouse.

Wait til he finds out that he's paying for his own flights

[PackerBronco]

"Just wait until we win the World Series and you have to pay for the champagne."
"Well, we ain't gonna win no World Series"
"Exactly."

[robshastri]

Lot of people missing the point of the Soda scene...It’s not that DJ can’t easily afford it; and btw so can all the players. It’s that DJ’s being a LEADER. He’s been around the block, played for the biggest clubs, seen it all.

By highlighting a small annoyance that rubs players the wrong way, DJ is implicitly telling PB/BB to fix it and thereby create a better vibe in the clubhouse; the $ cost of which is virtually zero..

Worked in places where they yanked free coffee from break rooms but kept it in the big wigs suite. Failed to see that many people then took 15-30 minutes out of their day running to cafeteria or in the morning before they came to work to have their fix. It doesn't take much to get employees productive and it doesn't take much to make them unproductive.

[hellogoodbye]

Jonah Hill nails the persona of Peter in every can tell, as a youth, Peter was always the most awkward kid in gym class, socially with girls, just about everything except when it came to brains, which he has in abundance....but being around a bunch of athletes, he tries to remain invisible, but Beane just keeps bringing him to the fore....Peter never, thoughout the movie, volunteers his knowledge of analytics...Beane always has to pry it out of him.

Worked at a factory where we got these coffee vending machines. On the shop floor, people were in work clothes and a coffee was 0, 3 Euros. Over at the engineering department, coffee was free and street clothes. Behind that in the corridor, accounting - dresses, free coffee and free fruit basket every morning, and carpet instead of PVC or concrete shop floor. You bet we as workers knew there was a difference that in the grand scheme of things wouldn't cost the company a lot, but would have made us happier.

This reminds me of the 1919 Black Sox, who had to pay to launder their own uniforms. When they won the pennant, owner Charlie Comiskey bought them champagne that turned out to be flat. The players then turned around and took payoffs to throw the World Series.

[vinsanity]

"Yeah, it IS hard to see." - love that jab

[icemantopgun]

Is that fasten seatbelt sound supposed to be a symbol? The timing seems impeccable, both validating the player's rhetorical question and foreshadowing the turbulent conversation ahead. Just a thought.

Everytime Jonah sits in the window seat, he's nominations for an Oscar

[tobe]

Why's a soda $14 for fans though?

[tubesocketsv]

It's hard to see where my taxes go to fix the roads too.
