CHARLOTTE: Groves on one. TRUMAN: We are now prepared to destroy more rapidly and completely the Japanese... ROBERT: (clears throat) General? GROVES: I'm very proud of you and all of your people. It went all right? Apparently, it went with a tremendous bang. ROBERT: Well, everyone here is feeling reasonably good about it.

It's not good he's telling everyone you initiated the hearings. He can't prove a goddamn thing. He certainly can't prove that I gave the file to Borden. We're not in court, sir. There's no burden of proof. Right. They're not convicting... (sighs) just denying. Why would Hill come here to tear me down? What's his angle? Do people need a reason to do the right thing? - As he sees it. - I told you, Oppenheimer poisoned the scientists against me, right from that first meeting. I don't know what Oppenheimer said to him that day, but Einstein wouldn't even meet my eye. (inaudible) Oppenheimer knows how to manipulate his own. And at Los Alamos, he preyed on the naivete of scientists who thought they'd get a say in how we used their work, but don't ever think he was that naive himself. ROBB: Doctor. During your work on the hydrogen bomb, were you deterred by any moral qualms? Yes, of course. ROBB: But you still got on with your work, didn't you? Yes, because this was work of exploration, it was not the preparation of a weapon. You mean it was more of a... an academic excursion. No, it is not an academic thing whether you can build a hydrogen bomb. It's a matter of life and death. By 1942, you were actively pushing the development of the hydrogen bomb, weren't you? Pushing's not the right word. Supporting it and working on it, yes. So when did these moral qualms become so strong that you actively opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb? When it was suggested that it be the policy of the United States to make these things at all cost without regard to the balance between these weapons and atomic weapons as part of our arsenal.

ROBB: Are you familiar with the fact your husband was making contributions to the Spanish Civil War as late as 1942? I knew that Robert gave money from time to time. Did you know this money was going into Communist Party channels? Don't you mean "through"? - Pardon? - I think you mean "through Communist Party channels," don't you? - Y-Yes! - Yes? - Yes! - KITTY: Yes. Then would it be fair to say that this meant that by 1942, your husband had not stopped having anything to do with the Communist Party? You don't have to answer that yes or no. You can answer that any way you wish. I know that, thank you. It's your question. - It's not properly phrased. - Do you understand - what I'm getting at? - I do. Then why don't you answer it that way? 'Cause I don't like your phrase. "Having anything to do with the Communist Party." Because Robert never had anything to do with the Communist Party as such. I know he gave money to Spanish refugees. I know he took an intellectual interest in Communist ideas... Are there two types of Communists? Intellectual Communists and your plain old regular Commie? (laughs) Well, I couldn't answer that one. EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

Can a distinction be made between Soviet Communism and Communism? Well, in the days when I was a member, I thought they were definitely two things. - Oh? - I thought that the Communist Party of the United States was concerned with our domestic problems. I now no longer believe this. Believe the whole thing's linked together and spread all over the world, and I have believed this since I left the Party 16 years ago. - But... - Seventeen years ago. My mistake. - But you said... - Sorry, 18. Eighteen years ago.
