Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The daughter's song at the end of the movie is pretty bittersweet, with the concluding lyrics being "you're such a loser, dad."
  • The scenes between Billy Beane and the scouts.
  • Billy's first conversation with Peter Brand:

Billy Beane: Who are you?
Peter Brand: I'm Peter Brand.
Beane: I don't give a rat's ass what your name is.

  • Beane, along with his coach Ron Washington, visits Scott Hatteberg, a former catcher, to tell him they're putting him at first:

Hatteberg: I've only ever played catcher.
Beane: It's not that hard, Scott. Wash, tell him.
Washington: It's incredibly hard.

  • "Who's Fabio?"
  • Towards the end of the film, after failing to make the play-offs, Peter and Billy sit in silence after watching the video of a minor league player who attempted to round first, embarassingly fell, then discovered he'd already hit a home run.

Peter: ...It's a metaphor-
Billy: -I know it's a metaphor.
