ROBERT: Dr. Lawrence, I presume?

You must be Oppenheimer.

Yes.

I hear you want to start a school of quantum theory.

I am starting it. Next door.

Wanted to be close to you experimentalists.

We're building a machine to accelerate electrons.

-Magnificent. -Would you like to help?

Build it? Oh, no. (chuckles)

No, no.

But I am working on theories I'd like to test with it.

When do you start teaching?
