[The final scene of the movie, which finally reveals what Oppenheimer actually said to Albert Einstein by the lake. The conversation starts as Oppenheimer catches Einstein's hat.]
Albert Einstein: [Laughs] Thank you.
J. Robert Oppenheimer: Hello, Albert.
Albert Einstein: The man of the moment. You once held a reception for me, in Berkeley, you gave me an award.
J. Robert Oppenheimer: Yes.
Albert Einstein: You all thought I had lost the ability to understand what I had started. So the award really wasn’t for me, it was for all of you. Hm? Now it’s your turn. To deal with the consequences of your achievement. And one day, when they’ve punished you enough, they’ll serve you salmon and potato salad. Make speeches. Give you a medal. Pat you on the back, tell you all is forgiven. Just remember, it won’t be for you. It will be for them.
J. Robert Oppenheimer: Albert, when I came to you with those calculations, we thought we might start a chain reaction that would destroy the entire world...
Albert Einstein: I remember it well. What of it?
J. Robert Oppenheimer: I believe we did.
Albert Einstein: [Laughs] Thank you.
