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.
:18:00
What, kind of like a parakeet?
:18:03
Ready?
:18:05
Well, Youngstown's
always been fair, Otis, but...
:18:09
you're askin' me to lay off
damn near half the town.
:18:13
The mine is just not producin'...
:18:16
the way it was
ten years ago, John.
:18:18
We're payin' the same labor
for half the tonnage.
:18:21
What if we were
to open up a new shaft?
:18:24
That coal is down there, Otis.
:18:26
You just let me go after it.
:18:29
The Coalwood mine
has given out, Mr. Hickam.
:18:37
Move!
:18:40
- Ten--
- Nine. Eight.
:18:43
Seven. Six. Five.
:18:47
Four. Three. Two--
:18:52
Holy shit, it's headed for the mine!
