:24:00
BY A HANDFUL
OF VACUUM TUBES AND TRANSISTORS.
:24:05
PROBABLY FAULTY.
[ Man #2 ]
THERE YOU ARE, JULIAN.
:24:09
NOW WE KNOW
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
:24:13
OH, NO, YOU DON'T.
NO. NO.
:24:16
MAYBE WE WERE THE BLIND
MECHANICS OF DISASTER,
:24:20
BUT YOU DON'T PIN THE GUILT
ON THE SCIENTISTS
THAT EASILY.
:24:22
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
PIN IT ON... MOTHERHOOD.
:24:25
IT SHOULD BE PINNED
ON SOMEBODY.
:24:27
YOU SCIENTISTS
ARE THE LIKELY ONES
AS FAR AS I CAN SEE.
:24:30
YOU BUILT THE BOMB.
YOU EXPERIMENTED WITH IT,
TESTED IT AND EXPLODED IT.
:24:35
JUST A MOMENT, MORGAN.
THANKS TO YOU CHAPS,
A MOMENT IS ABOUT ALL WE HAVE.
:24:38
EVERY MAN WHO EVER WORKED
ON THIS THING TOLD YOU
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
:24:42
THE SCIENTISTS SIGNED
PETITION AFTER PETITION,
JULIAN, PLEASE.
:24:44
BUT NOBODY LISTENED.
:24:47
THERE WAS A CHOICE.
IT WAS BUILD THE BOMBS
AND USE THEM...
:24:51
OR RISK THE UNITED STATES,
THE SOVIET UNION
AND THE REST OF US...
:24:54
WOULD FIND SOME WAY
TO GO ON LIVING.
:24:59
[ Scoffs ]
THAT'S WISHFUL THINKING,
IF EVER I HEARD IT.
:25:03
[ Julian ]
I'M NOT AGAINST
WISHFUL THINKING, NOT NOW.
:25:05
[ Morgan ]
THEY PUSHED US TOO FAR.
:25:07
THEY DIDN'T THINK WE'D FIGHT,
NO MATTER WHAT THEY DID.
:25:09
AND THEY WERE WRONG.
WE FOUGHT. WE EXPUNGED THEM !
:25:13
WE DIDN'T DO SUCH A BAD JOB
ON OURSELVES.
:25:15
WITH THE INTERESTING RESULT
THAT THE BACKGROUND LEVEL
OF RADIATION...
:25:19
IN THIS ROOM IS NINE TIMES
WHAT IT WAS A YEAR AGO.
:25:23
[ Holmes ]
JULIAN.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT ?
:25:26
NINE TIMES !
WE'RE ALL DOOMED, YOU KNOW.
:25:30
THE WHOLE SILLY, DRUNKEN,
PATHETIC LOT OF US.
:25:34
DOOMED BY THE AIR
WE'RE ABOUT TO BREATHE.
:25:36
WE HAVEN'T
GOT A CHANCE !
STOP IT !
:25:38
I WON'T HAVE IT, JULIAN !
:25:41
I WON'T.
THERE IS HOPE.
:25:44
THERE HAS TO BE HOPE.
:25:46
THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE.
:25:49
WE JUST CAN'T
GO ON LIKE THIS.
:25:52
WE CAN'T.
:25:54
WE-- WE--
