I meant with your husband. Yes, you did. 'Cause you know it won't make a bit of difference. (sentimental music playing)

I came in for plenty of harsh treatment. There was an AEC vote on the export of isotopes to Norway, and they drafted in Robert to make me look like a fool. CONGRESSMAN: But, Dr. Oppenheimer, we've already heard from Admiral Strauss that these isotopes could be useful to our enemies in the production of atomic weapons. ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel - in making atomic weapons. - (laughter) In fact, you do. You could use a bottle of beer in making atomic weapons. In fact, you do. I say isotopes are less useful than electronic components but more useful than a sandwich. (all laughing)
Uh, you remember Jackie. Evening. Let's go. Come. MAN: Right over there, right over there.

Under the current AEC guidelines, would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today? (unnerving music playing) Under my interpretation (sighs) of the Atomic Energy Act, which did not exist when I hired Dr. Oppenheimer in 1942... I would not clear him today, uh, if I were on the commission. ROBB: Good. Thank you, General. That is all. But I don't think I'd clear any of those guys. That's all.

You helped save a lot of American lives. What we did at Hiroshima was a... And Nagasaki. Well, obviously. Your invention let us bring our boys home. Well, it was hardly my invention. It was you on the cover of Time. (both chuckling) Jim tells me you're concerned about an arms race with the Soviets. Uh, yes, uh...

Now, if we can enrich these amounts, - we need a way to detonate them. - (paper tearing) Are we boring you, Edward? TELLER: A little bit, yes. May I ask why? TELLER: We all entered this room knowing a fission bomb was possible. How 'bout we leave it with something new? Such as? Instead of uranium or plutonium, we use hydrogen. (others murmur and laugh) - TELLER: Heavy hydrogen. - FEYNMAN: Hydrogen. Deuterium. You see? We compact the atoms together under great pressure to induce a fusion reaction.

Thank you. I've been asked to testify about Lewis Strauss. A man who has given years of service in high positions of government and who is known to be earnest, hardworking and intelligent.

Let me make this simple for you, gentlemen. According to my intelligence, which I cannot share with you, the Japanese people will not surrender under any circumstances short of a successful and total invasion of the home islands. Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese. The use of the atomic bomb on Japanese cities will save lives. If we retain moral advantage. - How so? - Well, if we use this weapon without informing our allies, they'll see it as a threat. And we'll be in an arms race. How open can we be with the Soviets? BUSH: Secrecy won't stop the Soviets from becoming part of the atomic world. We've been told they have no uranium. You've been misinformed. A Russian bomb is a matter of time. The program needs to continue at full pace after the war. Uh, Secretary Stimson, if I may... Not all scientists on the project are in agreement. In fact, this might be a moment to consider other opinions. - If you talk a scientist in... - GROVES: The Manhattan Project has been plagued from the start by certain scientists of doubtful discretion and uncertain loyalty. One of them just tried to meet with the president. Now, we need these men, but as soon as it's practical, we should sever any such scientists from the program. Wouldn't you agree, Doctor?
