You sat here and let me tell you how it's done, but you've been far ahead all along. Survival in Washington is about knowing how to get things done.

Then... the second thing you'll have to do is appoint Hans Bethe to run the Theoretical division. (rousing music playing) Wait, what was the first? Take off that ridiculous uniform. You're a scientist. Groves is insisting we join. Tell Groves to go shit in his hat. They need us for who we are. So be yourself. Only better. (rousing music continues)

Well, you say that and then you call. Well, don't answer. I'll always answer.

General Groves has placed in me a certain responsibility, and it's like having a child who I can't see. - Ah. - By remote control. - (chuckles quietly) - So to actually meet you is...

Let's get to South Observation. Pull 'em out. ROBERT: We can make our determination there. (tense music continues)

(scoffs) ROBERT: He may not be wrong. Stimson is now telling me we bombed an enemy that was essentially defeated. TELLER: Robert, you've all the influence now. Please. Urge them to continue my research on the Super. I neither can nor will, Edward. Why not? It's not the right use of our resources. Is that what you really believe? J. Robert Oppenheimer. Sphinx-like guru of the atom. Nobody knows what you believe.

Dr. Oppenheimer, it's an honor. Please, take a seat. No need, um, I just wanted to check whether I should talk to Lomanitz while I'm here, given your concerns. Well, I'd say that's really up to you, Professor, - but I'd be cautious. - Uh-huh. Understood. Oh, and, um, (clears throat) as regards to the union, I wanted to give you a heads-up on a... on a man named Eltenton. A heads-up? Yes, just that he might merit watching is all.

You are aware that the Nazis have a two-year head start. Dr. Oppenheimer, the fact that your security clearance is proving difficult to obtain is not my fault. It's yours. May not be your fault, but it's your problem. Because I'm going. STRAUSS: And how many people were in these, uh, - open discussions? - NICHOLS: Too many. Compartmentalization was supposed to be the protocol. We were in a race against the Nazis. And now the race is against the Soviets. - Not unless we start it. - STRAUSS: Robert. They just fired a starting gun. What's the nature of the device they detonated? ROBERT: The data indicates it may have been a plutonium implosion device. Like the one you built at Los Alamos. The Russians have a bomb, Truman needs to know what's next. What's next? Arms talks. - Arms talks. - Obviously.
