On returning to America, I accepted positions at both Caltech and up at Berkeley. (indistinct chatter)

Oppenheimer

None that spring to mind. If you'll just allow me to continue with my statement... Mr. Robb, you'll have ample opportunity to cross-examine.

Yeah, but it's a door closing. No.

One day you might need them. F.A.E.C.T. MEMBERS (chanting): F.A.E.C.T.! ROBERT: The Federation of Architects, Engineers, Chemists and Technicians. (chanting stops)

There's a way to balance these things. Keep the Rad Lab here at Berkeley under Lawrence. Met Lab in Chicago, under Szilard. Large-scale refining, where did you say? Tennessee. - And Hanford. - And Hanford. All America's industrial might and scientific innovation, connected by rail. Focused on one goal. One point in space and time. And it comes together here. A secret laboratory. In the middle of nowhere, secure, self-sufficient, equipment, housing, the works. Keep everyone there until it's done. It'll need a school, stores, a church. Why? ROBERT: If we don't let scientists bring their families, we'll never get the best. You want security, build a town, build it fast. Where?

Build him a town. Fast. Let's go recruit some scientists. Why would I leave my family? I told you, you can bring your family. I'm not a soldier, Oppie. A soldier? He's a general. I've got all the soldier I need. What can I tell them? Heisenberg, Diebner, Bothe and Bohr. What do these men have in common? The greatest minds on atomic theory. - Yes, and? - Uh... As much as you like, until you feel my boot on your balls. You know isotopes and you know explosives better than anyone in the world. But you can't tell us what you're doing? (Groves sighs)

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

You must be Oppenheimer. Yes. I hear you want to start a school of quantum theory. I am starting it. Next door. - They put you in there? - I asked for it. Wanted to be close to you experimentalists. Theory will get you only so far, huh? We're building a machine to accelerate electrons. - Magnificent. - Would you like to help? Build it? Oh, no. (chuckles) No, no. But I am working on theories I'd like to test with it. When do you start teaching? I've got my first in an hour. - Seminar? - Pupil. One student? That's it? I'm teaching something no one here has dreamt of. But once people start hearing what you can do with it... There's no going back. (door opens) - Oh. I must have missed the... - Ah. Lo... - Mr. Lomanitz? - Na.
Oppenheimer

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month? That's not the point, Lawrence. What do any of you have in common with farm laborers and dock workers? LOMANITZ: Plenty.
