We can end this war. MORRISON: But how do we justify using this weapon on human beings? - (murmurs of assent) - (scattered applause)

What was it you said about Borden? "Why get caught holding the knife yourself?" (sighs) I'm beginning to think Borden was holding the knife for you.

Dr. Hill, would you care to make a statement?
Oppenheimer

Wait, are we saying there's a chance that when we push that button, we destroy the world? Nothing in our research over three years supports that conclusion. Except as the most remote possibility. How remote? Chances are near zero. Near zero? What do you want from theory alone? (scoffs) Zero would be nice.

He took it. America and Russia may be likened to two scorpions in a bottle, each capable of killing the other but only at the risk of his own life. Now, there are various aspects of this policy... STRAUSS: Lot of scientists blame me, but how was I supposed to protect him? Too secret for discussion, candor is the only remedy. Officials in Washington need to start leveling with the American people. (people murmuring) That was the last straw for Robert's enemies. So he had to lose his security clearance. - And with it, his credibility. - (knocking) But how could they do it? He was a war hero. He'd already told everyone about his past. Borden dredged it all up. How could Borden get access to Oppenheimer's FBI file? Could it have been Nichols? No, I can't imagine he'd do that. But whoever did unleashed a firestorm that burned a path from the White House back to my desk at the AEC. You see them in there, right? I've been working my whole life to get here. Cabinet of the United States of America. Now, in front of the entire country, they're gonna put me back in my place.

Who were the holdouts? Um, there were three, led by the junior senator from Massachusetts. Young guy trying to make a name for himself, didn't like what you did to Oppenheimer. What's his name? Uh, Kennedy. John F. Kennedy.

You once held a-a reception for me. In Berkeley. You gave me an award. - Hmm? - Yes.

And one day, when they've punished you enough... they'll serve you salmon and potato salad. Make speeches... give you a medal. (applause) Hello, Frank. You're happy, I'm happy. (gentle music continues)

You all thought that I had lost the ability to understand what I'd started. So the award really wasn't for me, it was for all of you, hmm?
