Well, I-I think you're all being too goddamn gentlemanly.

TELLER: We all entered this room

The brass likes it so much they made me take over

-Why? Why? -Well, you can't talk to...

ROBB: Thanks, and do you have a copy of the letter?

ROBERT: How so?

How open can we be with the Soviets?

Under my interpretation (sighs)

That you're teaching a radical new approach to physics

There's been another screw-up. Lomanitz just got drafted.

-Lawrence is in the meeting. -They're not you.

we've freely used the atomic bomb...

(unsettling music playing)

-You supported it! -What do you mean "support"?

-Pardon? -I think you mean
