Göttingen. - Born? - Born. Get to Germany, study under Max Born. Learn the ways of theory. I'll send word. (gasps) - Wormhole. (exhales) - (apple clatters in trashcan) How's your mathematics? Not good enough for the physicist he wants to be. Algebra's like sheet music. The important thing isn't "Can you read music?" It's "Can you hear it?" Can you hear the music, Robert? Yes, I can.

(sighs) A Yank, lecturing on the new physics? This I have to hear. I'm an American myself. How surprising. Um... Let me know if you need any help with the English.

Mr. Strauss, there are things in my past you ought to be aware of. Well, as chairman of the AEC, I have access to your security file. I've read it. - You're not worried? - No. Why would I be worried after everything you've done for your country? Well, times change, Mr. Strauss. Well, the purpose of this institute is to provide a haven for independent minds.

But never embraced the quantum world it revealed. "God doesn't play dice." Precisely. You never thought of studying physics formally, Mr. Strauss? Well, I had offers, but I chose to sell shoes. Lewis Strauss was once a lowly shoe salesman.
