There's a way to balance these things. Keep the Rad Lab here at Berkeley under Lawrence. Met Lab in Chicago, under Szilard. Large-scale refining, where did you say? Tennessee. - And Hanford. - And Hanford. All America's industrial might and scientific innovation, connected by rail. Focused on one goal. One point in space and time. And it comes together here. A secret laboratory. In the middle of nowhere, secure, self-sufficient, equipment, housing, the works. Keep everyone there until it's done. It'll need a school, stores, a church. Why? ROBERT: If we don't let scientists bring their families, we'll never get the best. You want security, build a town, build it fast. Where?

Build him a town. Fast. Let's go recruit some scientists. Why would I leave my family? I told you, you can bring your family. I'm not a soldier, Oppie. A soldier? He's a general. I've got all the soldier I need. What can I tell them? Heisenberg, Diebner, Bothe and Bohr. What do these men have in common? The greatest minds on atomic theory. - Yes, and? - Uh... As much as you like, until you feel my boot on your balls. You know isotopes and you know explosives better than anyone in the world. But you can't tell us what you're doing? (Groves sighs)

It's about unleashing the strong force... before the Nazis do. Oh, my God. Niels won't work for the Nazis. No, never. But while they have him, we don't. That's why I need you. Why would you think I'd do that? "Why?" "Why?" How about because this is the most important fucking thing to ever happen in the history of the world. How about that?

(door shuts) They are not gonna let me onto this project. And failing a security check is not gonna be good for a career, even after the war. So you're a fellow traveler. So what? This is a national emergency. I've got some skeletons, they put me in charge. They need us. Until they don't.

You're a dilettante, a womanizer, a suspected Communist... I'm a New Deal Democrat. I said "suspected." Unstable, theatrical, egotistical, neurotic... Nothing good, no? Not even "he's brilliant, but..." Well, brilliance is taken for granted in your circle, so no. No, the only person who had anything good to say was Richard Tolman. Tolman thinks you have integrity, but he also strikes me as a guy who knows more about science than people. Yet here you are. You don't take much on trust. I don't take anything on trust.

(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.
