It would ignite the atmosphere. (whooshing) When we detonate an atomic device, we might start a chain reaction that... destroys the world.

Absolutely. We will test fire before the conference.

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

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)
Oppenheimer

Hmm? (sniffs) (spool winds) (explosion) That's the one. (grunts) Two viable bombs. I need a date.
Oppenheimer

We did it! We did it! Well done.

You're aiming for the 6th? It's up to the CO in the Pacific.

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi, thank you for coming. Do you know who else the prosecution has called? Teller, obviously.
Oppenheimer

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)

Don't take in the sheets. (breathes heavily) (clamoring) REPORTER: Get a picture with him. REPORTERS: Sir, sir. SENATE AIDE: Two minutes. Two minutes. - You'll get your shot. - REPORTER 1: Please, sir. We've been waiting for so long. - REPORTER 2: Evening, sir. - REPORTER 3: Come out. REPORTER 4: Sir, sir! STRAUSS: Is it official?

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi, what governmental positions do you currently hold? I am the chairman of the General Advisory Committee to the AEC, succeeding Dr. Oppenheimer. GARRISON: And how long have you known Dr. Oppenheimer? Since 1928. I... I know him quite well. Well enough to speak to the bearing of his loyalty and character? Dr. Oppenheimer is a man of upstanding character. And he is loyal to the United States, to his friends, to the institutions of which he is part.

They've asked Lawrence. What did he say? He wasn't going to help them, but... But? Strauss told him that you and Ruth Tolman have been having an affair for years. The whole time you lived - with them in Pasadena. - (sighs) He convinced Lawrence that Richard died of a broken heart. That's absurd. - What part? - The broken heart. Richard never found out. Is Lawrence gonna testify? I don't know.

Get a message to Kitty. We can't say anything. Tell her to take in the sheets.

TRUMAN (on radio): Sixteen hours ago, an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima... and destroyed its usefulness to the enemy. (elated laughter outside) The bomb had more power than 20,000 tons of TNT.
Oppenheimer

Uh, there aren't any big enough. Perhaps a vital war plant with workers housed nearby. And we could issue a warning to reduce civilian casualties. They'd send everything they have up against us, and I'd be up in that plane. But if we announce it and it fails to go off, we'd scupper any chance of a Japanese surrender. Is there no way to demonstrate a bomb to Japan to provoke surrender? We intend to demonstrate it in the most unambiguous terms. Twice. Once to show the weapon's power and a second to show that we can keep doing this until they surrender. We have a list of 12 cities to choose from... Sorry, 11. I've taken Kyoto off the list due to its cultural significance to the Japanese people. Also, my wife and I honeymooned there. It's a magnificent city.
