:15:09
I don't think your father
would like you sneaking up
in the middle of the night in here.
:15:13
And I know that he wouldn't
like me welding for you on company time.
:15:17
Well, what if I paid
the company for your time?
:15:19
Homer, I can't.
:15:22
I would lose my job.
:15:25
I'm sorry.
:15:27
- Did you see Sputnik go over
the other night?
- Nah.
:15:34
'Cause it was beautiful.
:15:37
I stood there and watched it
streak across the sky.
:15:40
And anywhere in the world, someone could
look up and see exactly what I saw.
:15:46
For once, it felt like Coalwood
was part of the outside world.
:15:50
Homer, believe me, there are much worse
places than Coalwood in this world.
:15:56
Besides, this is just
a flying piece of steel.
:16:01
You know, a rocket
took it up there, Mr.Bykovsky.
:16:04
I don't know. I--
:16:06
When I was workin'
on this rocket, I felt like,
:16:09
I felt like I was,
like I was Wernher von Braun.
:16:14
Let me see.
:16:19
Homer,
:16:23
it will be our secret.
:16:27
Mr.Bykovsky did
a dang good job on this.
:16:30
Yeah, well,
he used a washer for the weld.
:16:32
- Man, it looks just like it did
in the picture.
- Prodigious.
:16:35
When, uh,
when do we go?
:16:37
- Give me that.
- Uh, Saturday--
:16:39
What is this,
a weapon of some kind?
:16:41
[ Homer Chuckling ]
No, sir. It's a, it's a rocket.
:16:45
I don't allow dangerous devices
on school grounds.
:16:47
- Mr.Turner, I asked Homer
to bring that to school.
- To show it in class.
:16:52
You know, the boys are thinkin'
about enterin' that county science fair.
:16:56
Be careful, gentlemen.
I'm gonna have my eye on you.
:16:59
Thank you, Mr.Turner.
