ROBERT: So I'll be here at South Observation point with Frank and Kistiakowsky. You'll all be assigned to Base Camp, West Observation or Far Observation. (suspenseful music continues)

We're putting together a group to study feasibility... "We" shouldn't be doing anything. You should.

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

It would ignite the atmosphere. (whooshing) When we detonate an atomic device, we might start a chain reaction that... destroys the world.

TRUMAN (on radio): Sixteen hours ago, an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima... and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. (elated laughter outside) The bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT.

I told you, he turned the scientists against me one by one, starting with Einstein. I told you about, uh, Einstein. I saw him by the pond. You did, but you know, sir, since nobody really knows what they said to each other that day, is it possible they didn't talk about you at all? Is it possible they spoke about something, uh, more important? REPORTERS: Mr. Strauss! (clamoring)

Frankly, I can see that there might be an argument for the Commander-in-Chief informing the Russians... they're our allies after all... but I don't like the idea of it going out the back door. It might not hurt to be on the lookout for it.

GARRISON: You let my client sit here and potentially perjure himself, and all this time, you had a recording? Nobody told your client to misrepresent his former answers. Misrepre... It-it was 12 years ago. Can we hear this recording? You don't have the clearance, Mr. Garrison. But you're reading it into the record. Please, please. Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth? If it's truth, where's the disclosure? Where's the witness list? Mr. Garrison, this isn't a trial, as you are well aware. Evidentiary rules do not apply. We are dealing with national security. Yes, sir, with all due respect, I fail to see how national security prevents the prosecution from providing us - with a list of witnesses. - Perhaps we are in need - of a brief recess. - ROBERT: Gentlemen, you have my words. If you say they're from a transcript, then I'll accept it. I've already explained I made up a cock-and-bull story. But why would anyone make up such an elaborate story? Because I was an idiot. Why lie? Well, clearly with the intention of not revealing who the intermediary was. Your friend, Haakon Chevalier, the Communist. Is he still your friend? Yes.
