Mr.Hickam, report to my office
as soon as we return to school.
1:17:10
You do intend to enter
the county science fair, do you not?
1:17:14
Yes, sir, we do.
1:17:16
Well, if you intend
to represent Big Creek,
1:17:19
you're gonna have to be
enrolled as a student at Big Creek.

"Prodigenous."
1:17:30
[ Homer ] Do you think you can draw
well enough Mr.Bolden could build it?
1:17:32
Yep. Let me see.
1:17:34
- Yeah.
- Hey, Homer.
1:17:37
- Hi, Dad.
- What's this stuff doin' here?
1:17:40
- Mr.Hickam, we didn't start the fire.
- The troopers gave it back to us.
1:17:44
- Yeah, it wasn't
even one of our rockets.
- It was an aeronautical flare.
1:17:46
Y'all go on home now.
1:17:48
Yes, sir.
1:18:07
- This the reason
you skipped work today?
- Yes, sir.
1:18:15
I thought you put all this nonsense
behind you, Homer.
1:18:19
- I thought you weren't
gonna be doin' it--
- Dad, it isn't nonsense.
1:18:21
I-I don't wanna
argue with you.
1:18:24
Look, son,
1:18:26
I can't even begin to tell you how proud
of you I've been these past weeks.
1:18:30
I mean, you've just been doin'
a hell of a job in that mine.
1:18:35
You keep goin',
you're gonna have my job someday.
1:18:38
Everybody says so.
1:18:42
You got any idea how proud
that would make me?
1:18:46
- Dad, what I--
- [ Stammering ]
1:18:49
I guess what I'm sayin' is,
is that if this rocket stuff
is so important to you,
1:18:54
then so be it,
as long as you're careful.
1:18:58
Guess there's worse hobbies
you could have.
