:43:01
- There's calculus,
differential equations--
- No, I'll learn the math.
:43:04
This is great, Miss Riley.
I'll learn everything.
:43:08
It's the best present
that anyone's ever given me.
:43:11
Thank you.
I'm gonna show the guys.
:43:15
- Well, Quentin will probably go cra--
- Goodness gracious, Hickam.
:43:17
- Watch where you're goin'.
- Just--
:43:21
- Where'd you get this?
- I gave it to him.
:43:24
Bye, Miss Riley.
:43:28
Miss Riley, our job is to give these
kids an education, not false hopes.
:43:33
False hopes?
:43:36
Do you want me to sit quiet,
let 'em breathe in coal dust
the rest of their life?
:43:41
[ Sighs ]
Miss Riley, once in a while,
:43:44
a lucky one will get out
on a football scholarship.
:43:47
The rest of 'em
work in the mines.
:43:50
How about I believe
in the unlucky ones, hmm?
:43:53
I have to, Mr.Turner,
or I'd go out of my mind.

- [ Man ] It's good, it's good.
- [ John ] Hey, Homer.
:44:05
Happy birthday, son.
:44:07
Got some good news
for you, Homer.
:44:09
Say hello to Fred Smith from
the University of West Virginia.
:44:13
- Hello, Homer.
- Hi, sir.
:44:15
Mr.Smith wants Jim
to play football there.
He's offerin' him a full scholarship.
:44:19
Well, congratulations, Jim.
:44:21
Do you play ball, son?
:44:23
No, Homer shoots off rockets.
Whoosh and all that st--
:44:27
Well, rockets
are not exactly my field, son,
:44:29
but maybe if you work hard,
you'll go to college too.
:44:32
- Yeah, on a science fiction
scholarship, maybe.
- [ John ] Jim.
:44:46
[ Homer's Voice ]
Dear Dr. von Braun,
:44:48
thank you
for the autographed picture.
:44:51
It will only further inspire me
to keep working...
:44:53
toward our all-important goal of
entering that science fair this spring.
