What do moral qualms have to do with that? Wha... What do moral qualms - have to do with it? - ROBB: Yes. Oppenheimer wanted to own the atomic bomb. He wanted to be the man who moved the Earth. He talks about putting the nuclear genie back in the bottle. Well, I'm here to tell you that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer, and if he could do it all over, he'd do it all the same. You know he's never once said that he regrets Hiroshima? He'd do it all over. Why? Because it made him the most important man who ever lived. (voice quivering): Well, we've... we've freely used the atomic bomb... ROBB: In fact, Doctor, you assisted in selecting the target to drop the atomic bomb on Japan, - didn't you? - Yes. ROBB: Well, then you knew, did you not, that by dropping that atomic bomb on the target you selected, that thousands of civilians would be killed or injured, is that correct? Yes, not as many as turned out... Oh. Well, how many were killed or injured? - 70,000. - ROBB: 70,000 at both Hiroshima and... 110,000 at both. ROBB: On the day of each bombing? (tense music playing) Yes. And in the weeks and years that followed? It has been put at somewhere between 50 and 100,000. - 220,000 dead at least? - ROBERT: Yes. Any moral scruples about that?
