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.
:17:03
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
You know, the winners go on to the
National Science Fair in Indianapolis,

:17:18
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
- W-W-Well, what do you mean?
- Homer, you got a great mind.

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

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

:17:51
Auk I.
Stroke of genius, Homer.

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

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