KITTY: Everything's changing, Robert. Having a child was always going to change... No, the world, it's pivoting in some new direction. It's reforming.

(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.

ROBERT: Dr. Lawrence, I presume?
Oppenheimer

Yeah. Yes, this is it. Please. Take a seat.

This is your moment.

That's you. You are the man for the job. Well, then I'll consider it. I'll see you at the AEC meeting tomorrow.

I don't know how to say this. I'm... I'm ashamed to ask. CHEVALIER: Anything. Take Peter. - Sure. - No, for-for a while, Hoke. A while.

Wait, what's he saying?

Can you run them again? No, you'll get the same answer. Till they actually detonate one of these things, the best assurance you're going to get is this. Near zero.

So here we are, hmm? Lost in your quantum world of probabilities and needing certainty. Can you run the calculations yourself? (chuckles) About the only thing you and I have in common is a disdain for mathematics. Who's working on this in-in Berkeley? Hans Bethe. Well, he'll get to the truth.
Oppenheimer

Four divisions.

You know, some days, Kurt refuses to eat. Even in Princeton. He's convinced that the Nazis can poison his food. Mm. Hmm? Huh.

Coming right up. Conversation ended there. Nothing in our long-standing friendship would have led me to believe that Chevalier was actually seeking information, and I am certain that he had no idea of the work in which I was engaged.

What do you take it to mean? Neutrons smash into nucleus, releasing neutrons to smash into other nuclei. Criticality, a point of no return, massive explosive force. But this time, the chain reaction doesn't stop.
Oppenheimer

And if the truth is catastrophic? Then you stop. And you share your findings with the Nazis. So neither side destroys the world.
Oppenheimer

Whose... Whose work is this? Teller's.
Oppenheimer

When I calculated the chain reaction, I found a rather troubling possibility. BETHE: No. But this can't be right. Show me how you did your calculations. TELLER: Yes.
