So, you're a biologist. Well, somehow I have graduated to housewife. Can you explain quantum mechanics to me? Seems baffling. Yes, it is. Well, this glass, this drink... - (knocks countertop) - this countertop, uh, our bodies... all of it. It's mostly empty space. Groupings of tiny energy waves bound together. By what? Forces of attraction strong enough to convince us that matter is solid. Stop my body passing through yours.

It's gonna come down to how much influence Borden's been able to exert on Teller. - (Kitty laughing) - Did I say something funny? Just "Borden, Borden, Borden" when we all know that it's Strauss. Lewis brought me to Princeton, Kitty. And then you humiliated him in front of Congress. But more useful than a sandwich. (laughter)

ROBB: You insisted on bringing on your brother Frank, - a known Communist. - A former Communist. You brought a known former Communist onto America's most secret and important defense project. I knew my brother could be trusted. Absolutely. And you felt your judgment was sound on who on the team could be trusted?

Who are they bringing in? They hadn't said. STRAUSS: Mr. Chairman, if I may, I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary. Why seek the opinion of scientists? This is a Cabinet post, Admiral. We seek a wide range of opinion. Well, I'd like to know the name of the scientist testifying. I'd like the chance to cross-examine. This is not a court. STRAUSS: (grunts) Formality, huh? SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee has failed to be confirmed since 1925. This is just how the game is played. It's in the bag, Lewis. So play nice. They bring in a scientist, so what? You don't know scientists like I do, Counselor. They resent anyone who questions their judgment, especially if you're not one of them. I was chair of the AEC. I'm easy to blame for what happened to Robert. We can't have the Senate thinking the scientific community doesn't support you, sir. Or should we pivot? - SENATE AIDE: To what? - And embrace it. "I fought Oppenheimer, and the US won." I-I don't think we need to go there. Isn't there someone we can call who knows what really happened? - Teller. - He'll make an impression. Can you get the name of the scientist they've called? - Probably. - Find out if he was based in Chicago or Los Alamos during the war. Why does that matter? Well, if he was based in Chicago, then he worked under Szilard and Fermi, not the cult of Oppie at Los Alamos. Robert built that damn place. He was founder, mayor, sheriff, all rolled into one.
