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.

Billy Beane:
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.

[Jeremy sits down]

Billy Beane:
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.

[Jeremy sighs, and exits]

Billy Beane:
Jeremy's gone, too.

Art Howe:
[shaking his head in disbelief] You're killing this team.
