- [ 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.
:45:11
[ Clears Throat ]
:45:22
We're shootin' off
a rocket today.
:45:27
I th-thought you'd like
to come see it.
:45:29
I gotta catch up
on some work.
:45:35
Ho-How come, how come you never
have work when Jim plays football?
:45:39
You never miss a game.
:45:42
[ Sighs ]
:45:46
What time
are you gonna do it?
:45:49
About 4:00.
:45:53
- Uh, I can't promise you--
- [ Rumbling, Glass Breaks ]
:45:57
- Somebody pulled a pillar too close.
- [ Alarm Blares ]
