What 'bout the radiation cloud? Without high winds, it should settle within two to three miles. Evacuation measures are in place. But we need good weather for visibility, so it has to be fine.

ROBERT: So I'll be here at South Observation point with Frank and Kistiakowsky. You'll all be assigned to Base Camp, West Observation or Far Observation. (suspenseful music continues)

WEATHERMAN: The wind's picking up at zero, not the rain. Lightning's circling. You think it might be time to tell your men to get away from the steel tower with the atomic bomb? (laughter)

Oppie's taken a very modest three kilotons. - Teller's in with 45. - RABI: 20. Twenty thousand tons of TNT, and does anyone want the side action - on atmospheric ignition? - (all laughing)
Oppenheimer

We can end this war. MORRISON: But how do we justify using this weapon on human beings? - (murmurs of assent) - (scattered applause)
Oppenheimer

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

We're theorists, yes? PEOPLE: Yes. Yep. We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.
Oppenheimer

We go on the night of the 15th. It's a hard deadline, so if anyone has anything, speak now.
Oppenheimer

(thunder rumbling) I'm betting on three kilotons.
Oppenheimer

Absolutely. We will test fire before the conference.

Oppenheimer

You helped save a lot of American lives. What we did at Hiroshima was a... And Nagasaki. Well, obviously. Your invention let us bring our boys home. Well, it was hardly my invention. It was you on the cover of Time. (both chuckling) Jim tells me you're concerned about an arms race with the Soviets. Uh, yes, uh...
Oppenheimer
18.4s
Well, um, it's that, uh, now is our chance to secure international cooperation on (clears throat) atomic energy, and... and I'm concerned... Do you know when the Soviets are gonna have the bomb? I don't think I could give a... Never.

STRAUSS: Robert saw that hand-wringing got him nowhere. By the time I'd met him, he'd fully embraced his "father of the bomb" reputation. Used his profile to influence policy. (clamoring)
