Robert. I want you to meet Chevalier. Dr. Haakon Chevalier, Dr. Robert Oppenheimer. - Pleasure. - Pleasure. This is my little brother, Frank. - And this is... - Hello. - Still Jackie. - Hello, Still Jackie. Chevalier, you're in languages? And your reputation precedes you. - What have you heard? - MARY: Excuse me. That you're teaching a radical new approach to physics I have no chance of understanding, but I hadn't heard you're a Party member. - Uh, I'm not. - Oh, not yet. Frank and I are thinking of joining. Just the other day, - I was saying... - I support a range of causes. CHEVALIER: The Spanish Civil War? A democratic republic being overthrown by fascist thugs, who wouldn't? Our government. They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism. ROBERT: Not for long. Look at what the Nazis are doing to the Jews. I send funds to colleagues in Germany to emigrate. I have to do something. (sighs) My own work is so abstract. What are you working on? What happens to the stars when they die. Do stars die? Well, if they do, they'd cool, then collapse. In fact, the bigger the star, - the more violent its demise. - (explosions) The gravity gets so concentrated it swallows everything. Everything, even light. Can that really happen? The math says it can. If we can get published, then perhaps one day, an astronomer finds one. But right now, all I have is theory, which can't impact people's lives. Well, if you're going to send money to Spain, do it through the Communist Party. They can get it to the front lines. Mary sent me with these.
