:15:09
I don't think your father would like you
sneaking up in the middle of the night.
:15:13
And I know that he wouldn't like me
welding for you on company time.
:15:17
Well, what if l paid
the company for your time?
:15:19
Homer, I can't.
:15:22
I would lose my job.
:15:25
I'm sorry.
:15:28
Did you see Sputnik go over
the other night?
:15:34
'Cause it was beautiful.
:15:37
I stood there and watched it
streak across the sky.
:15:40
And anywhere in the world, someone could
look up and see exactly what I saw.
:15:46
For once, it felt like Coalwood
was part of the outside world.
:15:50
Homer, believe me, there are much worse
places than Coalwood in this world.
:15:56
Besides, this is just
a flying piece of steel.
:16:01
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.
