We're a couple of New York Jews. How do you know Dutch? Well, I thought I'd better learn it when I got here this semester. You learned enough Dutch in six weeks to give a lecture on quantum mechanics? Wanted to challenge myself. Quantum physics wasn't challenging enough. - Schvitzer. - Schvitzer? - Show-off. - (chuckles) Dutch in six weeks, but you never learned Yiddish? They don't speak it so much my side of the park. Screw you. You homesick? Oh, you know it.

You must be Oppenheimer. Yes. I hear you want to start a school of quantum theory. I am starting it. Next door. - They put you in there? - I asked for it. Wanted to be close to you experimentalists. Theory will get you only so far, huh? We're building a machine to accelerate electrons. - Magnificent. - Would you like to help? Build it? Oh, no. (chuckles) No, no. But I am working on theories I'd like to test with it. When do you start teaching? I've got my first in an hour. - Seminar? - Pupil. One student? That's it? I'm teaching something no one here has dreamt of. But once people start hearing what you can do with it... There's no going back. (door opens) - Oh. I must have missed the... - Ah. Lo... - Mr. Lomanitz? - Na.

(chuckles) I don't know. See where the math takes us. I guarantee it's somewhere no one's been before. Me? Yes, you. Your math is better than mine. (students laughing) SENATOR BARTLETT: Dr. Oppenheimer's file contained detail of his activities in Berkeley. Why would they have started a file on Dr. Oppenheimer before the war? Well, you'd have to ask Mr. Hoover. I'm asking you, Admiral Strauss. Uh, my assumption is that it was connected to his, uh, left-wing political activities.

You know analysis? When I was in post-grad at Cambridge, I had a little trouble.

LAWRENCE: You shouldn't let them bring up politics in the classroom, Oppie. I wrote that. Lawrence, you embrace the revolution in physics. Can't you see it everywhere else? Picasso, Stravinsky, Freud, Marx. LAWRENCE: Well, this is America, Oppie. We had our revolution.

Ah. So, I'm getting married. - Frank. Congratulations! - Thank you. - Thank you. - To Jackie? - Yeah, to Jackie. - (clears throat) The waitress. Oppie, you're right. It's lettin' up. I'm gonna go see if there's any stars. All your talk about the common man, but Jackie's not good enough for you, hmm? ROBERT: Mm-mm. We join the Party and you can't - hide your disapproval. Why? - Oh, now, I... Is that because that's supposed to be your thing? I haven't joined the Party, Frank. And I don't think she should have convinced you to either. Half of the faculty is Communist. Not that half.
