A rocket took it up there,
Mr. Bykovsky.

:16:04
I don't know. l--
: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
- Itlooks like it did in the picture.
- Prodigious.

:16:35
When do we go?
:16:37
- Give me that.
- Saturday--

:16:39
What is this,
a weapon of some kind?

:16:41
No, sir. It's a rocket.
:16:44
I don't allow dangerous devices
on school grounds.

:16:47
- 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.
:16:58
- I'm gonna have my eye on you.
- Thank you, Mr. Turner.

:17:02
That science fair is rigged.
All the judges are from Welch...

:17:05
so only the kids from Welch
ever win.

:17:08
And besides,
science fairs are for geeks.

:17:11
No offense, Quentin.
:17:13
Well, it's too bad
you feel that way.

:17:15
The winners go on to the National
Science Fair in Indianapolis...

:17:17
and colleges from all over
the country hand out scholarships.

:17:22
It's great.
Have a good lunch, boys.

:17:27
College scholarships
for winning a science fair?

:17:30
Well, maybe it's not for you.
:17:32
- Well, what do you mean?
- Homer, you got a great mind.

:17:35
But science requires math...
:17:37
which has never been
one of your favorite subjects.

:17:41
Can't just dream your way
out of Coalwood, Homer.

:17:51
AUK l.
Stroke of genius, Homer.

:17:54
Itwon't fly unless somebody
lights the fuse.

:17:56
What the hell is an auk?
:17:58
It's a bird that don't fly.
