John Hickam
[Homer is ready to go to the National Science Fair, but an incident involving his father and the mine strikers takes an unexpected turn]
Hey, hey, don't trouble yourself, Homer. You got more important things to worry about. [derisively] Just go look for your suitcase.
Jim Hickam
Forget about it, Homer.
Homer Hickam
Shut up, Jim! [furiously goes back into house and angrily confronts his father] Listen, I'm sorry about what's going on here but it isn't my fault! What do you want from me anyway?
John
Better watch yourself, Homer.
Homer
If I win at Indianapolis, maybe I can go to college, maybe even get a job at Cape Canaveral! There's nothing here for me! The town is dying, even the mine is dying...EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BUT YOU!
John
[incensed]
You want to get out so bad, then go. Go!
Homer
Yeah, I'll go! Yeah, I'll go!
John
GO! GO!
Homer
And I'll be gone forever! I won't even look back!!!! [angrily gets out and violently slams door behind him]
