But never stopped speaking his mind. A man of conviction. And maybe he thought fame could actually protect him.

In a great number of cases, I have seen Dr. Oppenheimer act in a way which was to me exceedingly hard to understand. I thoroughly disagreed with him in numerous issues, and his actions frankly appeared to me confused and complicated. To this extent, I feel, I want to see the vital interest of this country in hands which I understand better and therefore trust more. - MORGAN: Thank you, Doctor. - ROBB: Thank you.

Where did you go? - I can't tell you. - Why not? Because you're a Communist.
KITTY: You shook his fucking hand? Oh, I would have spit in his face. Not sure the board would have appreciated that. KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you? Well, I-I think you're all being too goddamn gentlemanly. Gray must see what Robb is doing. Why doesn't he just shut him down? And you shaking Teller's hand. You need to stop playing the martyr.

Under the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? (unnerving music playing) Under my interpretation (sighs) of the Atomic Energy Act, which did not exist when I hired Dr. Oppenheimer in 1942... I would not clear him today, uh, if I were on the commission. ROBB: Good. Thank you, General. That is all. But I don't think I'd clear any of those guys. That's all.

That's all. HILL: The record demonstrates that Oppenheimer was not interrogated by impartial and disinterested counsel for the Gray board. He was interrogated by a prosecutor who used all the tricks of a rather ingenious legal background. SENATOR SCOTT: You are charging now that the Gray board permitted a prosecution. If I were on the Gray board, I would have protested against the tactics of the man who served, in fact, as the prosecuting counsel. A man appointed not by the board but by Lewis Strauss. (people exclaim) Who was this?
Okay. We shouldn't keep them waiting. She'll be here. Do you even want her here? Only a fool or an adolescent presumes to know someone else's relationship, and you're neither, Lloyd. (door shuts) Kitty and I, we're grown-ups. We've walked through fire together. She'll do fine. GARRISON: Would you describe your views on Communism as pro, anti, neutral? KITTY: Very strongly against. I-I've had nothing to do with Communism in... since... since 1936, since... since before I met Robert.

Watch that needle. If the detonators don't charge or the voltage drops below one volt, you hit that button, you abort. - Understood? - Understood.

Anything less, they won't get what it is. What did Fermi mean by "atmospheric ignition"? Well, we had a moment where it looked like the chain reaction from an atomic device might never stop.

However, in the light of your continuing associations and disregard for the security apparatus of this country, together with your somewhat disturbing conduct on the hydrogen bomb program and the regrettable lack of candor in certain of your responses to this board, we have voted two to one to deny the renewal of your security clearance. A full written opinion, with a dissent from Mr. Evans, will be issued to the AEC in the coming days. That is all.
