: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.
:18:01
What, kind of like
a parakeet?
:18:03
- Ready?
- [ Whistle Blowing ]
:18:05
Well, Youngstown's
always been fair, Otis,
:18:09
[ Chuckling ] but you're askin' me
to lay off damn near half the town.
:18:12
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
[ John ]
That coal is down there, Otis.
:18:26
You just, you just
let me go after it.
:18:29
The Coalwood mine
is givin' out, Mr.Hickam.
:18:37
Move!
:18:41
- Ten--
- [ All ] Nine, eight,
:18:44
seven, six, five,
:18:47
four, three, two--
:18:52
- Uh-oh.
- Holy shit, it's headed for the mine!
:18:59
- [ Yelling ]
- I told you we didn't know
what we were doin'!
