The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe hearing counsel presses Oppenheimer on wartime contacts with Communists. He hedges: the danger would look larger today. Cut to an apartment. Jean asks where he went, why he left without a word. He cannot say; she is a Communist. He stays the night, then tells her he cannot see her again. Back in the hearing he admits she was still in love with him, and that he never saw her after that.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageBecause she had indicated a great desire to see me before we left. At that time, I couldn't, but I felt that she had to see me. She was undergoing psychiatric treatment. She was extremely unhappy.
因为她表示非常想见我 在我们离开之前。 那时候我去不了, 可我觉得她必须见我一面。 她当时在接受精神治疗。 她极度痛苦。
You drop in and out of my life, and you don't have to tell me why. Now that's power. Not that I enjoy. I'd rather be here for you as you need. But you have other priorities now.
你在我生命里进进出出, 还不必告诉我为什么。 这才叫权力。 不是说我喜欢这样。 我宁愿在你需要时陪着你。 可你现在有别的更要紧的事。
