I came in for plenty of harsh treatment. There was an AEC vote on the export of isotopes to Norway, and they drafted in Robert to make me look like a fool. CONGRESSMAN: But, Dr. Oppenheimer, we've already heard from Admiral Strauss that these isotopes could be useful to our enemies in the production of atomic weapons. ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel - in making atomic weapons. - (laughter) In fact, you do. You could use a bottle of beer in making atomic weapons. In fact, you do. I say isotopes are less useful than electronic components but more useful than a sandwich. (all laughing)

PASH: "Results of surveillance conducted on subject "indicate further possible Communist Party connections. "Subject met with and spent considerable time "with one Jean Tatlock, Communist, the record of whom is attached." The subject being Dr. Oppenheimer? - PASH: Yes. - ROBB: Whom you had not met? PASH: Not then, but soon after. He's the head of security for the project. Shouldn't I know him? No, he should know you. I would never put you in a room with Pash. - Why not? - (sighs) When Pash first heard about Lomanitz, he told the FBI he was gonna kidnap him, take him out on a boat and interrogate him in the Russian manner.

Why don't you have a Nobel Prize? Why aren't you a general? They're making me one for this. Perhaps I'll have the same luck. A Nobel Prize for making a bomb? Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.

Are those safe distances? They're based on your calculations. Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.
