J.K. Simmons: Matt Hardesty

Quotes 

• Matt Hardesty : Be honest. Tell her you want her to take your sober virginity, but you're scared. The vulnerability angle worked great for me when I first got diagnosed with cancer. I got a ton of ass.

  Jim Brockmire : Weren't you still married to Megan when you were first diagnosed?

  Matt Hardesty : Yeah, we had one of those marriages where we both agreed to be terrible people.

  Jim Brockmire : I had one of those. Well, she had that agreement.

• Jim Brockmire : Look at that. I guess I do believe in something bigger than myself. Baseball.

  Matt Hardesty : Yeah, yeah, it's a god I could believe in. A baseball god.

  Jim Brockmire : Yes, yeah, the kind of god that demands that all his churches be parks.

  Matt Hardesty : A god that forces you to play outside on a nice day.

  Jim Brockmire : Yeah, who doesn't keep time because our actions should determine our fate, not some stupid clock.

  Matt Hardesty : Yeah, a god who keeps us humble by making us play a game that's steeped in failure.

  Jim Brockmire : That's the kind of god that I'd worship.

  Matt Hardesty : Well, we did. We do.

• Jim Brockmire : Hey, man. You always gotta remember how lucky you are, right? Cause out of all the possible lives, you got to be a baseball man. That's got to be in the top point 00001 percent of things that anybody gets to do. You were paid to travel around the world, you showed up only when the weather was nice, you got three months off a year, and most of all, you got to play this beautiful, children's game your whole entire life. Man, I'd rather have your life than the g-damn Queen of England's.

  Matt Hardesty : I was always at my best on a baseball field.

  Jim Brockmire : Aw, man, they're like sacred places. Lit up, they're just like temples, and in the darkness they're like cemeteries.
