Tasty Mystery Baskets of Clips

(speaking indistinctly)

And you're a physicist by training, Mr. Strauss?

But they won't fear it until they understand it,

We're not in court, sir.

Germany is about to surrender.

that Dr. Oppenheimer is a security risk?

would you clear Dr. Oppenheimer today?

Now that's power.

I have access to your security file.

It's my business to stop it from going through illegally.

In a great number of cases,

Did we brief him on that?

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

Raining, blowing, lightning.

a few things that General Groves told me not to.

and they never forgave Robert for not supporting

or is the crowning moment of my career

I hear you got a little town.

I can't help but imagine what it will be

-Come on! -Hang on.

Now, we need these men,

Not that I enjoy.

Teller's designs have always been wildly impractical.

Henry Luce is a friend.

Can you get the name of the scientist they've called?

In the event both could be done.

But we're the only people who know about it.

But I know the Nazis can't.

Seriously, keep it out of the lab.

He transferred me to London.

(knock at door)

would not prove a bar to my working on the atomic program.

-There's just one problem. -Where?

connected by rail.

ROBERT: He may not be wrong.

Their gravity swallows light.

Kisty, you replace Neddermeyer.

(continues breathing heavily)

with Dr. Oppenheimer and his eventual naming of Chevalier,

"that he volunteered information to the Soviets.

that I know J. Robert Oppenheimer,

has been plagued from the start

Your reproductive system is more exposed than mine, presumably.

Time to stand behind your science, Hans. Literally.

Fine. What about after?

the development of the hydrogen bomb?

(scattered applause)

Until somebody builds a bigger bomb.

EVANS: (laughs) I couldn't either.

-God, what's the matter? -(grunts softly)

and Strauss never forgave him this public humiliation.

I think we should get back to first-hand information.

except in the context of my life and my work.

Or someone else, at the AEC?

the purpose of this letter is to state..."

You don't have time to meet.

And failing a security check is not gonna be good

what they said to each other that day,

Yes, that's right.

And it is also alleged to have helped end the war.

In your opinion, would he ever consciously

-that I'm happy. -(chuckles)

Turgid stuff. There's some thinking, um,

-Sure. -No, for-for a while, Hoke.

If you want to try that case, you should try me.

Just then, I was entirely consumed

-was it not? -After hours of discussion

Me explaining to bro’s gf how we are brothers but still touch each other

And if the truth is catastrophic?

A brief would be an overstatement.

Even though you brought quantum physics to America.

Yeah, well, I didn't have all the facts, did I?

What was that? What did you say to him?

(cheering continues)

They think that socialism is a bigger threat than fascism.

"God doesn't play dice."

Hard enough to spend the next four years

Not as risky as dropping one over Japan

Everybody will go crazy.

Lawrence, academics have rights too.

What about Lomanitz?

(rousing music playing)

Mai karu bhai Kuch nai karsakta

At that time, I couldn't,

KISTIAKOWSKY: Everybody out.

Because she had indicated a great desire

How many people do you know who proved Einstein wrong?

Many lives will be lost, American and Japanese.

A lowly shoe salesman.

But it will be thousands.

People hounded out of jobs for any hint of red. And then,

they'll have to send you a copy.

...give you a medal.

but I have to stay in Washington.

But once people start hearing what you can do with it...

Misrepre... It-it was 12 years ago.

It seems pretty favorable.

I was lost and he was kind.

but there's nothing new here.

A V-2 rocket headed to England.

So proud of what you have accomplished.

I'll be out there doing what I can, but you...

Einstein's opened the door, now we are peering through,

Stop my body passing through yours.

-about the Chevalier incident? -(scoffs)

Oh. (chuckling)

of raising expectations

ROBERT: Yes, but, uh,

I'd like to investigate that idea.

Teller's not helping.

he just said to tell you to "bring in the sheets."

And this would be your office.

What brings you two up north?

-ROBERT: Oh, pleasure. -Please, please.

(muffled distant rumbling)

But I'll bet the Japanese didn't like it.

SENATE AIDE: No presidential Cabinet nominee

Now, in front of the entire country,

"that more probably than not,

Your Communist Party membership card.

Point taken. But, no.

"based upon years of study

What's next? Arms talks.

in discussions of the Super?

of the Federal Bureau of Investigation?

I won't live my life afraid to make a mistake.

I-I've had nothing to do with Communism in... since...

and there's getting on with it, so pick one.

Everything, even light.

This weather, has it reached the site?

General Groves.

is about knowing how to get things done.

ROBB: Well, then you knew, did you not, that by dropping

as much damage as the Tokyo bombings.

ROBERT: After Göttingen, I moved on to Leiden in Holland

And it didn't concern you?

His conclusions are valid testimony,

You can answer that any way you wish.

BORDEN: I have one in front of me.

I did, I had to, really.

It cuts both ways.

(students laughing)

was the need for an H-bomb program, yes.

from one single device.

I'm gonna go see if there's any stars.

Is this proceeding interested in entrapment or in truth?

(intriguing music playing)

Wait, are we saying there's a chance

would you care to make a statement?

I'm nominated for Commerce Secretary.

It's not about the book.

I can make the last train back to Princeton.

-(suspenseful music playing) -(rain pattering)

with farm laborers and dock workers?

at 10,000 yards

(thunder rumbling)

We imagine a future and our imaginings horrify us.

I mean, presumably, the act of joining the Party

that I should have reported this incident at once.

by committing that we will not build a hydrogen bomb.

an American airplane dropped one bomb on Hiroshima...

(chuckles) How hard?

his "father of the bomb" reputation.

Conversation ended there.

Everybody out. Now!

KITTY: Is it not gentlemanly enough for you?

SENATOR McGEE: So, Dr. Oppenheimer brought

That was six years ago.

Do you or do you not believe

If atomic weapons are to be added

(music intensifying)

that burned a path from the White House

Not in the department.

Well, there's not much common ground between you two.

STRAUSS: And how many people were in these, uh,

Uh, "J. Robert Oppenheimer, Strauss fought..."

to my country when hearing this case.

We were in a race against the Nazis.

Lewis, do you understand, if we build a hydrogen bomb,

and he wasn't always patient with us mere mortals.

each capable of killing the other

we will give them our advice.

candor is the only remedy.

(voice quivering): Well, we've...

to the arsenals of a warring world,

Admin, librarians, computation.

A peace based on the kind of international cooperation

You never thought of studying physics formally, Mr. Strauss?

Yes, my father was one.

BORDEN: "...atomic energy, intelligence

(brooding music playing)

We had our revolution.

(indistinct chatter)

This is yours, not mine.

extra neutrons boil off,

Richard never found out.

It's a weapon of attack with no defensive value.

(indistinct chatter)

(cheering and applauding)

Your Q clearance came through.

you had yesterday in which I'm very interested.

-220,000 dead at least? -ROBERT: Yes.

These men aren't stupid.

outside Santa Fe. (inhales)

And base camp is ten miles south, here.

The field's not in use anymore.

What are you working on?

ROBERT: Congressmen, you could use a shovel

ROBERT: We can make our determination there.

is having a discussion group tonight. Interested?

Do I have to make an appointment?

Or using plutonium, the ten-pound sphere.

This is a national emergency.

Lomanitz, what do you get paid a month?

(chuckles) About the only thing

...it won't be for you.

ROBERT: We're good, Ruthie.

but such speculation seem to us,

-with them in Pasadena. -(sighs)

because of his commitment to security

GARRISON: Dr. Rabi,

then the day will come when people will curse

I'm president of Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan.

How surprising.

World War II would be over.

did you reach certain conclusions?

(faint pensive music continues)

You're spread too thin.

to confirm a safe operating distance.

to give a lecture on quantum mechanics?

and a second to show that we can keep doing this

It's a new world.

ROBB: On the day of each bombing?

So we're about to fire a dud?

I have to get back to America.

(up-tempo music continues)

from embedding itself in a mudbank.

-FERMI: Oppie. -Dr. Fermi.

uh, a couple of unexpected holdouts.

But whoever did unleashed a firestorm

Let's get some sleep.
