(door opens, closes) Well, if that's how you treat Lieutenant Colonel, I'd hate to see how you treat a humble physicist. Ah, if I ever meet one, I'll let you know. (chuckles softly) Ouch. Theaters of combat all over the world, but I have to stay in Washington. - Why? - I built the Pentagon. The brass likes it so much they made me take over the Manhattan Engineer District. Which is? Oh, don't be a smart ass. You know damn well what it is. You and half of every physics department across the country. That's problem number one. I thought problem number one would be securing enough uranium ore. 1,200 tons bought the day I took charge. Processing? Just broke ground at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

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.

Lost? Well, my previous husband had died, and... at 28, I wasn't really ready to be a widow. - Who was your first husband? - Nobody. But my second husband was Joe Dallet. He was, um, from money, like me, but... he was a union organizer in Youngstown, Ohio. Fell hard. (chuckles) How hard? Hard enough to spend the next four years living off beans and pancakes, handing out the Daily Worker at factory gates. By 36, I just told Joe I couldn't take it anymore. Quit the Party and a year later, I wanted him back, so... Him, not the Daily Worker. And he said, "Swell, I'll meet you on my way to Spain." He went to fight for the Loyalists? And then he went to the brigades and I waited. And...

PASH: "Results of surveillance conducted on subject "indicate further possible Communist Party connections. "Subject met with and spent considerable time "with one Jean Tatlock, Communist, the record of whom is attached." The subject being Dr. Oppenheimer? - PASH: Yes. - ROBB: Whom you had not met? PASH: Not then, but soon after. He's the head of security for the project. Shouldn't I know him? No, he should know you. I would never put you in a room with Pash. - Why not? - (sighs) When Pash first heard about Lomanitz, he told the FBI he was gonna kidnap him, take him out on a boat and interrogate him in the Russian manner.

And you said that to Pash? I was trying to put it in a context of Russia's not Germany. Boris Pash is the son of a Russian Orthodox bishop. Born here, but in 1918, he went back to Russia to fight the Bolsheviks. This is a man who has killed Communists with his own hands. I'm not the judge of who should or should not have information. It's my business to stop it from going through illegally. Would you be a little more specific?

(intriguing music playing) Uh, Heisenberg sought me out in Copenhagen. It was chilling, my old student working for the Nazis. He told me some things to draw me out. Sustained fission reactions in uranium. That sounds more like a reactor than a bomb. Did he mention gaseous diffusion? He seemed more focused on heavy water. As a moderator? Yes, instead of graphite. - (Teller snorts) - (laughter) What? He took a wrong turn. We're ahead. And with you here to help us, Niels. Sorry, could you... could you give us a moment, gentlemen?

PHILIP MORRISON: And if I may, when Hitler blew his brains out in that bunker, it's my humble opinion that there is no need for that bomb to be seen anywhere - except for that test site. - (applause) HORNIG: But we at least have to take a moment to think about whether the means justify the ends any longer, because...
