ROBERT: Oh-ppenheimer, Oppenheimer. Whatever way you say it, they know I'm Jewish. (Strauss chuckles) I'm president of Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan. "Straws" is just the Southern pronunciation. - Ah. - Anyway, welcome to the Institute. I think you could be very happy here. Yes, well, you'll love the commute. The position comes with that house for you and your wife and your, is it two children? Yes, two. I'm a great admirer of your work. And you're a physicist by training, Mr. Strauss? I'm sorry, uh, common room 4:00 tea. No, I'm not trained in physics or anything else. - I'm a self-made man. - Ah. - I can relate to that. - Really? Yes, my father was one. And this would be your office.

Admiral Strauss, I'm interested in your relationship with Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. You met him in 1947? Correct. You were commissioner of the Atomic Energy Commission? I was, but I-I actually met Robert in my capacity as board member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton because after the war, he was world-renowned as the great man of physics, and I was determined to get him to run the Institute.

(scoffs) This is one of the most prestigious appointments in the country. Yes, with a great commute. That's why I'm considering it. SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought your attention to his past associations before you appointed him? Yes. And it didn't concern you? Just then, I was entirely consumed with what he must have said to Einstein to sour him on me. (laughter)

(indistinct chatter) - Wonderful. - Thank you. Dr. Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer, yes. I liked your paper on molecules. Probably because you inspired it. If I inspire anything else, let me know. We could publish together. I have to get back to America. Why? There's no one there taking quantum mechanics seriously. - That's exactly why. - (sighs) He's pining for the canyons of Manhattan. ROBERT: Canyons of New Mexico. - You're from New Mexico? - No. New York, but my brother and I have a ranch outside Santa Fe. (inhales) That's the America I miss right now. Then it's best you get home, cowboys. - (Robert chuckles) - (chuckles) That's him. No, me and horses. I don't think so. - (Rabi chuckles) - Nice to meet you.

You must be Oppenheimer. Yes. I hear you want to start a school of quantum theory. I am starting it. Next door. - They put you in there? - I asked for it. Wanted to be close to you experimentalists. Theory will get you only so far, huh? We're building a machine to accelerate electrons. - Magnificent. - Would you like to help? Build it? Oh, no. (chuckles) No, no. But I am working on theories I'd like to test with it. When do you start teaching? I've got my first in an hour. - Seminar? - Pupil. One student? That's it? I'm teaching something no one here has dreamt of. But once people start hearing what you can do with it... There's no going back. (door opens) - Oh. I must have missed the... - Ah. Lo... - Mr. Lomanitz? - Na.
