- (stomping stops) - (exhales) (pensive music playing) GORDON GRAY: Dr. Oppenheimer. Dr. Oppenheimer. As we begin, I believe you have a statement to read into the record. Yes, Your Honor. WARD EVANS: We're not judges, Doctor. ROBERT: No. Of course.
SENATE AIDE: How long did he testify? Honestly, I forget.

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.

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?

Who'd want to justify their whole life? You weren't there? As chairman, I wasn't allowed to be. Are they really going to ask about it? - It was years ago. - Four years ago... Five.

The whole hearing took a month. An ordeal, hmm? Well, I've only read the transcripts. (clears throat)

Did you like it better yesterday? A lot. You can lift the stone without being ready for the snake that's revealed. Now it seems you're ready. - But you don't enjoy the lab? - (continues panting) So get out of Cambridge with its beakers and potions. Go somewhere they let you think.

Niels, meet J. Robert Oppenheimer. BOHR: What's the "J" stand for? Nothing, apparently. You were at my lecture. You asked the only good question. BLACKETT: No one's denying his insight. It's his laboratory work that leaves a little to be desired. (swallows) I heard you give the same lecture... At Harvard, yes, and you asked the same question. Why ask again? Hadn't liked your answer.
Oppenheimer

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