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)

Goddamn it. (sighs) (chuckles wryly) You told me I'd be okay. Yeah, well, I didn't have all the facts, did I? Here's a fact. President Eisenhower pinned the Medal of Freedom on my chest last year 'cause I've always done what's right for this country. They don't want me in the Cabinet room? Well, that's... that's fine. Maybe they should just invite Oppenheimer instead. Maybe they will.

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.

Over here! Mr. Strauss!
Oppenheimer

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)
Oppenheimer
11.4s
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?
Oppenheimer

Oh. (chuckling) (gentle music playing) Thank you. - (laughing) - Albert. - Ah. - (clears throat) The man of the moment.
Oppenheimer

Now it's your turn to deal with the consequences of your achievement.
Oppenheimer

Just remember... it won't be for you. It'll be for them.

Okay, stop, stop. Everybody, mattresses. Put the mattress underneath.
Oppenheimer

Is there anything else that might stop us? (thunder rumbling)
