I'm your brother, Frank, and I want you to be cautious. And I want to wring your neck.

Bombard it with neutrons. ALVAREZ: It's a nuclear fission. They did it, they split the atom. It's not possible. (stimulating music playing)

LAWRENCE: How?

ALVAREZ: Oppie! Oppie! ROBERT: What? What is it? They've done it. They've done it. Hahn and Strassmann in Germany. They split the uranium nucleus.

LAWRENCE: Very elegant. Quite clear. - There's just one problem. - Where? Next door. Alvarez did it. - But then look... - (pulsing) these fission pulses, they're massive. I've seen 30 of these in the past ten minutes. Theory will take you only so far. (gasps) During the process... extra neutrons boil off, which could be used to split other uranium atoms. Chain reaction. You're thinkin' what I'm thinkin'. You, me, and every other physicist around the world who's seen the news. I'm... what? What are we all thinking? A bomb, Alvarez. A bomb. I told you, Robert, no more fucking flowers.

Ideology got Joe killed. For nothing. Spanish Republic isn't nothing. My husband offered both our futures to stop one fascist bullet from embedding itself in a mudbank. That's the definition of nothing. Seems a little reductive. Pragmatic. Now here I am.

Well, you say that and then you call. Well, don't answer. I'll always answer.
