But I'll bet the Japanese didn't like it. (cheering and applauding)

It's not good he's telling everyone you initiated the hearings. He can't prove a goddamn thing. He certainly can't prove that I gave the file to Borden. We're not in court, sir. There's no burden of proof. Right. They're not convicting... (sighs) just denying. Why would Hill come here to tear me down? What's his angle? Do people need a reason to do the right thing? - As he sees it. - I told you, Oppenheimer poisoned the scientists against me, right from that first meeting. I don't know what Oppenheimer said to him that day, but Einstein wouldn't even meet my eye. (inaudible) Oppenheimer knows how to manipulate his own. And at Los Alamos, he preyed on the naivete of scientists who thought they'd get a say in how we used their work, but don't ever think he was that naive himself. ROBB: Doctor. During your work on the hydrogen bomb, were you deterred by any moral qualms? Yes, of course. ROBB: But you still got on with your work, didn't you? Yes, because this was work of exploration, it was not the preparation of a weapon. You mean it was more of a... an academic excursion. No, it is not an academic thing whether you can build a hydrogen bomb. It's a matter of life and death. By 1942, you were actively pushing the development of the hydrogen bomb, weren't you? Pushing's not the right word. Supporting it and working on it, yes. So when did these moral qualms become so strong that you actively opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb? When it was suggested that it be the policy of the United States to make these things at all cost without regard to the balance between these weapons and atomic weapons as part of our arsenal.

GRAY: Dr. Oppenheimer... when did your strong moral convictions develop with respect to the hydrogen bomb?

He should be thanking me. Well, he's not. (huffs) Do we still have enough votes, or is the crowning moment of my career about to become the most public humiliation of my life? Full Senate's about to vote. You'll scrape through. Great, then gather the fucking press. GRAY: Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. This board, having heard testimony from you and many of your current and former colleagues, has come to the unanimous conclusion that you are a loyal citizen.

- Albert. - Hmm? Ah. Dr. Oppenheimer. (chuckles) Well, have you met Dr. Gödel? We walk here most days. Trees are the most inspiring structures. Albert, might I have a word? Of course. 'Scuse me, Kurt.

Enough of this madhouse. Nobody can work under these conditions. You know what, Generalissimo? I quit. Thanks for nothing.

The biggest man-made explosion in history. Now let's calculate how much more destructive it would have been if it were a nuclear and not a chemical reaction. Expressing power in terms of tons of TNT. But it will be thousands. Well, then kilotons.

This is fantasy. Teller's calculations can't be right. Do them yourself while I go to Princeton. - What for? - To talk to Einstein. Well, there's not much common ground between you two. That's why I should get his view. (birds chirping)

Albert. When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world. Mm, I remember it well. What of it? I believe we did. (suspenseful music continues) (rhythmic stomping)

Halifax. 1917. A cargo ship carrying munitions explodes in the harbor. (explosions) A vast and sudden chemical reaction. (violent whooshing)
