• David Justice : Scotty H.

  Scott Hatteberg : Yo, what's up, D.J.?

  David Justice : Pickin' machine.

  [Scott laughs] 

  David Justice : How you likin' first base, man?

  Scott Hatteberg : It's, uh... it's coming along. Picking it up. You know, tough transition, but I'm starting to feel better with it.

  David Justice : Yeah?

  Scott Hatteberg : Yeah.

  David Justice : What's your biggest fear?

  Scott Hatteberg : A baseball being hit in my general direction

  [Hatteberg and Justice share a laugh] 

  David Justice : That's funny. Seriously, what is it?

  Scott Hatteberg : No, seriously, that is.

  [uncomfortable pause; Hatteberg leaves] 

  David Justice : Well, hey, good luck with that.

• Billy Beane : We got a problem, David?

  David Justice : No, it's okay. I know your routine. It's patter, it's for effect. But it's for them, all right? That shit ain't for me.

  Billy Beane : Oh, you're special?

  David Justice : You're paying me seven million bucks a year, man, so yeah, maybe I am, a little bit.

  Billy Beane : No, man, I ain't paying you seven. Yankees are paying half your salary. That's what the New York Yankees think of you. They're paying you three and a half million dollars to play against them.

• Miguel Tejada : [Justice tries to get a soda out of a soda machine, nothing comes out]  That costs a dollar, man.

  David Justice : What?

  Miguel Tejada : Welcome to Oakland, D.J.

• David Justice : Why doesn't your boss travel with the team?

  Peter Brand : He doesn't like to... mingle with the players.

  David Justice : Is that supposed to make us easier to cut?

• Billy Beane : David, you're 37. How about you and I be honest about what each of us want out of this? I wanna milk the last ounce of baseball you got in you. And you wanna stay in the show. Let's do that. I'm not paying you for the player you used to be. I'm paying you for the player you are right now. You're smart. You get what we're trying to do here. Make an example for the younger guys. Be a leader. Can you do that?

  David Justice : All right. I got you.

  Billy Beane : We're cool?

  David Justice : We're cool.
