- FERMI: Oppie. - Dr. Fermi. (greets in Italian) I hear you got a little town. Yes. Come and see. (Szilard scoffs) Who could think straight in a place like that? Huh? Everybody will go crazy. Thank you for the vote of confidence, Szilard. Do we really... do we really need that in the notes? When are you going to try it out? We did. The first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. Didn't Groves tell you? No. (crackling) (Robert exhales) GUARD: One at a time, please, one at a time. Dr. Oppenheimer?

He should be thanking me. Well, he's not. (huffs) Do we still have enough votes, or is the crowning moment of my career about to become the most public humiliation of my life? Full Senate's about to vote. You'll scrape through. Great, then gather the fucking press. GRAY: Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer. This board, having heard testimony from you and many of your current and former colleagues, has come to the unanimous conclusion that you are a loyal citizen.

- Albert. - Hmm? Ah. Dr. Oppenheimer. (chuckles) Well, have you met Dr. Gödel? We walk here most days. Trees are the most inspiring structures. Albert, might I have a word? Of course. 'Scuse me, Kurt.

Enough of this madhouse. Nobody can work under these conditions. You know what, Generalissimo? I quit. Thanks for nothing.

The biggest man-made explosion in history. Now let's calculate how much more destructive it would have been if it were a nuclear and not a chemical reaction. Expressing power in terms of tons of TNT. But it will be thousands. Well, then kilotons.

Albert. When I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world. Mm, I remember it well. What of it? I believe we did. (suspenseful music continues) (rhythmic stomping)

Halifax. 1917. A cargo ship carrying munitions explodes in the harbor. (explosions) A vast and sudden chemical reaction. (violent whooshing)

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.

GROVES: Progress? Nice to see you too. Meet the British contingent. Dr. Oppenheimer, Klaus Fuchs. How long have you been British? Since Hitler told me I wasn't German. Uh-huh. Come, welcome to Los Alamos. School's up and running. Bar. Always running. And I thought of a way to reduce support staff.
