J.K. Simmons: Frank Perry

Quotes 

• Frank Perry : [Billy Chapel is warming up in the bullpen before the game]  Well, since you're throwing bullets, I'm not even gonna mention the fact that you're an hour late, and I have been standing here trying to figure out who my starting pitcher would be if you didn't show up.

  Billy Chapel : Have I ever not showed? In the 19 years, have I ever not showed?

  Frank Perry : Well, that's true of everyone until the first time they don't show.

• Frank Perry : Let's get outta here before we get our asses kicked twice in one night.

• Frank Perry : What do you wanna do?

  Billy Chapel : I'd like you to smile at me, pat me on the fanny, march your butt to that dugout and sit down. That's what I'd like.

  Frank Perry : I want this goddamn game, Billy. That's what I'd like. I want this goddamn game, Billy.

  Billy Chapel : Well, I want it too.

  Frank Perry : Exhales

  Billy Chapel : If it gets any worse, I'll sit down.

  Frank Perry : Ready to go?

  Frank Perry : Perry walks off the mound

  Billy Chapel : Where's my pat?

• Frank Perry : You just do somethin' there?

  Billy Chapel : No.

  Frank Perry : You hurtin'?

  Billy Chapel : No.

  Frank Perry : Uh-huh. How long?
