I told her I... I wouldn't... (shudders) I told her I couldn't... No, it was... it was me.

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.

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.

I'm sorry, Oppie, but there's a call.

You served your country well. If this is the reward she offers you, then... perhaps you should turn your back on her. Damn it, I happen to love this country. Then tell them to go to hell. Interestingly enough, this is no longer a confirmation hearing, it's now a trial... about a trial!

I miss Richard more than I can bear. I know, Ruth, I know. Part of me's glad he didn't live to see where this is all going.

Using U-235, - the bomb will need a... - Uh-uh. Sorry. Gadget will need a 33-pound sphere about this size. Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

I'm gonna head to base camp. Best of luck.

As I said, Teller's designs are still as impractical as they were during the war. A hydrogen bomb can be made to work, Oppie, you know that. I don't believe we should commit all our resources to that chance. Then how would you have Truman reassure the American people? Simply by limiting the spread of atomic weapons through international control on nuclear energy. By which you mean world government? The United Nations as Roosevelt intended. Well, I... I asked what Truman should do, right? The world's changed, it's not fascism but Communism that now threatens our survival. Lewis, do you understand, if we build a hydrogen bomb, the Russians will have no choice but to build their own? Could they be working on one already? Based on information gathered from a spy at Los Alamos. No spy at Los Alamos. - Gentlemen. - There wasn't? Let's not get sidetracked. I say we use this moment to gain concessions from the Russians by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb. Thereby revealing its existence. Which you seem convinced they already know. (clears throat) All right. At this point, I'd like the committee members to meet in privacy to finalize our recommendations.

Let's get started. Hello, Edward. Yes. Gentlemen, so, we will work here until the T-section at Los Alamos is finished. - Edward, can I please... - It is more important.
