Somebody who wanted Robert silenced. - Who? - Who knows? Robert didn't take care not to upset the power brokers in Washington. His opinions on the atom became definitive and he wasn't always patient with us mere mortals. (chuckles softly)

On returning to America, I accepted positions at both Caltech and up at Berkeley. (indistinct chatter)

ROBERT: Who are the uniforms?
Oppenheimer

None that spring to mind. If you'll just allow me to continue with my statement... Mr. Robb, you'll have ample opportunity to cross-examine.

(music ends) The senator from Wyoming.

Yeah, but it's a door closing. No.

One day you might need them. F.A.E.C.T. MEMBERS (chanting): F.A.E.C.T.! ROBERT: The Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemists and Technicians. (chanting stops)

There's a way to balance these things. Keep the Rad Lab here at Berkeley under Lawrence. Met Lab in Chicago, under Szilard. Large-scale refining, where did you say? Tennessee. - And Hanford. - And Hanford. All America's industrial might and scientific innovation, connected by rail. Focused on one goal. One point in space and time. And it comes together here. A secret laboratory. In the middle of nowhere, secure, self-sufficient, equipment, housing, the works. Keep everyone there until it's done. It'll need a school, stores, a church. Why? ROBERT: If we don't let scientists bring their families, we'll never get the best. You want security, build a town, build it fast. Where?
Oppenheimer

Build him a town. Fast. Let's go recruit some scientists. Why would I leave my family? I told you, you can bring your family. I'm not a soldier, Oppie. A soldier? He's a general. I've got all the soldier I need. What can I tell them? Heisenberg, Diebner, Bothe and Bohr. What do these men have in common? The greatest minds on atomic theory. - Yes, and? - Uh... As much as you like, until you feel my boot on your balls. You know isotopes and you know explosives better than anyone in the world. But you can't tell us what you're doing? (Groves sighs)

Forget I asked. Selfish, awful people, they don't know they're selfish and awful. Sit, sit, sit.

I didn't want you to hear it from anyone else. (crying softly) Least you didn't bring me flowers. (sniffles)
