:06:02
- Me neither.
- [ Men Laughing ]
:06:05
Hey, let's get that mess
cleaned up!
:06:09
Let's get some cribbin'
on the roof!
:06:11
Buck up, Homer.
You're a Coalwood boy.
:06:14
When you get down in the mine,
get that coal shovel in your hand,
:06:17
feel just as natural to you
as a tick on a dog.
:06:21
[ Homer's Dad ]
And get that slate off the loader!
:06:23
[ Man On Radio ] It's the radio signal
transmitted by the Soviet Sputnik.
:06:27
Listen now for the sound
which forevermore separates
the old from the new.
:06:31
[ Rhythmic Beeping ]
:06:34
[ Beeping Continues ]
:06:41
That's it?
That's the Sputnik?
:06:43
- That's Sputnik.
- Well, big deal.
:06:46
Big deal?
What you fail to grasp...
:06:49
is that the sound you're hearin'
is bein' transmitted...
:06:51
by an object that is travelin'
at 18,000 miles per hour,
:06:54
559 miles high,
:06:57
- a-a-a-and orbitin' the Earth
e-e-every nine--
- Shut up!
:07:00
Boys, not in my class!
:07:02
Thank you, Quentin.
:07:04
Now Quentin's right, y'all.
:07:07
Sputnik is a milestone
in history.
:07:10
Things'll never be
the same again.
:07:14
- What do you think
about that, Homer?
- Well, yes, ma'am. Uh--
:07:17
- [ Students Laughing ]
- [ Teacher ] Cat got your tongue?
:07:19
We were talkin'
about bein' in orbit,
:07:21
hundreds of miles
away from the Earth.
:07:24
You know anything
about that?
:07:26
- [ Girl Giggling ]
- No, ma'am.
:07:29
I got my eye on you, boy.
:07:31
Now who can tell me
why Sputnik is so important?
:07:34
[ Man ] We ought to just shoot
the damn thing down.
:07:37
It's got one of them
little spy cameras in it.
:07:40
It takes pictures of every one
of our missile bases.
:07:42
This country'd better get on
the ball before it's too late.
:07:46
All I know is this Sputnik
had better show up soon.
:07:50
I'm gettin' a crick
in my neck.
:07:52
[ Roy Lee ] All right. What you
need to do is take her to the movies.
:07:54
Somethin' scary, like
Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman.
:07:58
Then you take your arm and put it up
round the back of her chair, like so.
