:23:01
IS HE YOURS, MOIRA ?
OH, ON LOAN.

:23:04
OH.
:23:06
WELL... TOODLE.
:23:09
[ Snickers ]
TOODLE.
[ Laughs ]

:23:12
[ Guests Chattering ]
:23:22
HE JUST DRINKS AND DRINKS
AND NOTHING HAPPENS.

:23:25
AT LEAST HE HASN'T
BURST INTO TEARS.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

:23:29
[ Man ] AMEN !
[ Man #2 ]
THAT'S SHEER BALDERDASH !

:23:32
I NEVER HEARD SO MUCH
NONSENSE IN MY LIFE.

:23:35
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME,
THIS WHOLE WAR WAS AN ACCIDENT ?

:23:38
NO, IT WASN'T AN ACCIDENT.
I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

:23:43
IT WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED,
DOWN TO THE TINIEST MECHANICAL
AND EMOTIONAL DETAIL.

:23:48
BUT IT WAS A MISTAKE,
IT WAS A BEAUT.

:23:53
IN THE END, SOMEHOW GRANTED
THE TIME FOR EXAMINATION,

:23:56
WE SHALL FIND
THAT OUR SO-CALLED CIVILIZATION
WAS GLORIOUSLY DESTROYED...

: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.
