I, uh... I wanted to study the new physics. GRAY: Was there nowhere here? I thought Berkeley had the leading theoretical physics department. Yes. Once I built it. But first I had to go to Europe. I went to Cambridge to study under Patrick Blackett. Were you happier there than in America? - Happier? - Yes. (unsettling music playing)
Oppenheimer

SENATE AIDE: How long did he testify? Honestly, I forget.
Oppenheimer

(gripping music playing)
Oppenheimer

Even though you brought quantum physics to America. Which made me curious. What have you found out?
Oppenheimer

Fuck.
Oppenheimer

It's about unleashing the strong force... before the Nazis do. Oh, my God. Niels won't work for the Nazis. No, never. But while they have him, we don't. That's why I need you. Why would you think I'd do that? "Why?" "Why?" How about because this is the most important fucking thing to ever happen in the history of the world. How about that?
Oppenheimer

Why don't you have a Nobel Prize? Why aren't you a general? They're making me one for this. Perhaps I'll have the same luck. A Nobel Prize for making a bomb? Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.
Oppenheimer

You idiot. This is your community. You think the rules don't apply to the golden boy?
Oppenheimer

(chuckles) (tender music playing) We both know I'm not what you want, Jean.
Oppenheimer

Does Kitty know you're here? Yes, of course she knows.
Oppenheimer

Is there any chance of getting Bohr out of Denmark? Nah, no dice. I checked with the British. Until we get Allied boots back onto the continent, there's just no way. Is he that important? How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?
Oppenheimer

Dr. Oppenheimer. An honor. Mr. Strauss. It's pronounced "straws."
Oppenheimer
8.6s
Did you ever encounter Heisenberg again? Not in person, no, but, uh... you might say our paths crossed.
Oppenheimer

BARBARA: Come here, darling.
Oppenheimer

(sighs)
Oppenheimer

Not as far as I'm concerned, no.
Oppenheimer

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)
Oppenheimer
7.4s
On returning to America, I accepted positions at both Caltech and up at Berkeley. (indistinct chatter)
