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.

This is fantasy. Teller's calculations can't be right. Do them yourself while I go to Princeton. - What for? - To talk to Einstein. Well, there's not much common ground between you two. That's why I should get his view. (birds chirping)

The Russians have a bomb. We're supposed to be years ahead of them, but some... What were you guys doing at Los Alamos? Wasn't security tight? Of course it was. You weren't there. - It was... - NICHOLS: Forgive me, Doctor... but I was there.

- 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.

Then we'll get not kilotons, but megatons. FEYNMAN: A big fission reaction... Okay, hang on, hang on. So how do you generate enough force to fuse hydrogen atoms? A small fission bomb. FEYNMAN: There we are. - (laughter) - (scattered applause) Well, since we're going to need one anyway, can we get back to the business at hand? SENATOR BARTLETT: The isotopes issue wasn't your most important policy disagreement with Dr. Oppenheimer. It was the hydrogen bomb, wasn't it? Uh, as colleagues, we agreed to disagree on a great many things, uh, and, well, one of them was the need for an H-bomb program, yes. - (siren wailing) - (uneasy music playing)

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.

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

Using U-235, - the bomb will need a... - Uh-uh. Sorry. Gadget will need a 33-pound sphere about this size. Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

There's no kitchen. Really? We'll fix that. (gripping music continues)

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

What the hell were you doing in Chicago? Visiting the Met? - Why? Why? - Well, you can't talk to... Because we have every right... You have just the rights that I give you. No more, no less. We are adults trying to run a project here. This is ridiculous. Tell him. Compartmentalization is the protocol we agreed to.
