September. July. That's the sweet spot, gentlemen. August. July. Test in July. But I need my brother. (thrilling music continues)

Just tell me your concerns, and I'll relay them. My concerns? Germany's defeated. Japan's not going to hold out alone. How could you know that? You got us into this. You and Einstein with your letter to Roosevelt - saying we could build a bomb. - (scoffs) Against Germany. That's not how weapons manufacture works, Szilard. SZILARD: Oppie, you have to help. ROBERT: Fermi's in the meeting. - Lawrence is in the meeting. - They're not you. You're the great salesman of science. You can convince anyone of anything.

(Kitty breathing heavily) You don't get to commit the sin and then have us all feel sorry for you that it had consequences. (breath shuddering)
Its only intended target would be the largest cities. It's a weapon of mass genocide. Izzy, draw some circles on this side of the map where they would target us. - Starting with New York. D.C. - RABI: That's fair. It's a weapon of attack with no defensive value. - Deterrence. - BUSH: "Deterrence"? Do we really need more deterrence than our current arsenal of atomic bombs? Y-You drown in ten feet of water or-or 10,000, - what's the difference? - (rhythmic stomping) We can already drown Russia. They know it. - And now they can drown us. - So we're just escalating... (stomping intensifying) (discussion continues indistinctly)

Germany is about to surrender. (applause) It's no longer the enemy who are the greatest threat to mankind, it's our work. (people murmur)

Well, let's make sure we're not the ones to make that possible.

Come on, Ruthie. Can't tell me, who can you tell? RUTH: Compartmentalization, Oppie. What makes you think I know where he is anyway? ROBERT: 'Cause you do a pretty good job of knowing where Mr. Tolman is when it counts. Like now? GROVES: Attention! (chatter and music subside)

Forget Hans. Forget fission. Stay here, research what you want. Fusion, the hydrogen bomb, whatever. We'll meet to discuss. You don't have time to meet. You're a politician now, Robert. You've left physics behind many, many years ago.

ROBERT: Progress? Two years and a billion dollars' worth? Well, hard to put a price on it. Not really, just add up the bills. "Rural free deliveries." Eighty babies delivered the first year. This year, we've had ten a month. Birth control is a little out of my jurisdiction, General.

BOHR: The British pilots put me in the bomb bay. Showed me the-the oxygen, you know, - but I messed it up. - (crowd laughs) Uh, when they opened me up in Scotland, I was unconscious. But I pretended I'd been napping. (crowd laughing) Please enjoy your party. (light applause) (whispering): Is it big enough? To end the war? To end all war.

ROBB: So the Super was under development on your watch at Los Alamos? Yes. ROBB: And yet, after the war, you tried to deny it was viable. No, no, no. I... I pointed out technical difficulties with it. You... Didn't you try to kill it at the AEC meeting - after the Russian bomb test? - No. ROBB: But that was the recommendation of the AEC, - was it not? - After hours of discussion about the best response. An H-bomb is 1,000 times the power of an A-bomb.

Oppie, I don't think you want to go up against Strauss. If we both speak, they listen to me. When you speak, they hear a prophet. When Strauss speaks, they hear themselves. They'll listen to a prophet. A prophet can't be wrong. Not once. SENATOR McGEE: Didn't you accuse Oppenheimer of sabotaging the development of the Super? I was never one of those to bandy around terms like "sabotage." SENATOR McGEE: But Mr. Borden was? As I understand it, possibly. How was Mr. Borden able to put together such a detailed indictment? He was no longer a government employee, yet he appears to have had unlimited access to Dr. Oppenheimer's file. Might Mr. Nichols have given him access to the file? Or someone else, at the AEC? That's a very serious accusation, Senator. Is it your intention to suggest that Dr. Oppenheimer is disloyal to the United States? I've always assumed, and still assume, that he's loyal to the United States. I believe this. And I shall believe it until I see very conclusive proof to the opposite. ROBB: Do you or do you not believe that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?
