Yeah, definitely. - (panting) - Are you all right?

Oppenheimer still divides America. The committee is gonna want to know where you stood. Senator Thurmond asked me to say not to feel that you're on trial. Oh, funny, I didn't till you just said that. - Really, Mr. Strauss... - It's Admiral. Um, Admiral Strauss. This is a formality. President Eisenhower has asked you to be in his cabinet. Senate really has no choice but to confirm you. And if they bring up Oppenheimer? When they bring up Oppenheimer, you answer honestly. No senator can deny you did your duty. It'll be uncomfortable. (chuckles awkwardly) Who'd want to justify their whole life?

Members of the security board, the so-called derogatory information in your indictment of me cannot be fairly understood, except in the context of my life and my work.

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.

But later? Well, we all know what happened later. ROBB: Doctor, your, uh... your time in Europe, you seemed to meet with a wide range of other countries' physicists. Yes, that's right. Any Russians?

I, uh... I wanted to study the new physics. GRAY: Was there nowhere here? I thought Berkeley had the leading theoretical physics department. Yes. Once I built it. But first I had to go to Europe. I went to Cambridge to study under Patrick Blackett. Were you happier there than in America? - Happier? - Yes. (unsettling music playing)

Even though you brought quantum physics to America. Which made me curious. What have you found out?

It's about unleashing the strong force... before the Nazis do. Oh, my God. Niels won't work for the Nazis. No, never. But while they have him, we don't. That's why I need you. Why would you think I'd do that? "Why?" "Why?" How about because this is the most important fucking thing to ever happen in the history of the world. How about that?
