Quotes 

  • Quentin : [shooting off their last rocket]  Look at it go, Homer. This one's gunna go for miles.

  • Quentin : What do you want to know about rockets?

    Homer : Everything.

  • Quentin : They watched us get arrested. We're practically ex-convicts. They'll never dance with us.

    O'Dell : Jesus, Quentin, you don't know anything about women.

  • Roy Lee : Are you sure we need this nozzle thing?

    Quentin : Are you kidding? The nozzle is the most important part - it directs the flow of the hot gases!

    Roy Lee : Hey, cool it, Quentin! Man, talkin' 'bout your 'hot gases'...

  • O'Dell : Besides, didn't your dad say no more rockets?

    Homer : No, he said no more rockets on company property.

    O'Dell : Do you realize how far we'd have to go to be off company property?

    Homer : Yeah, we'd have to go to Snakeroot.

    Quentin : Snakeroot? That's eight miles!

    Homer : It's not *that* far. I mean we could walk if we had to...

    O'Dell : Hey, walk! Heh! That's a great idea!

    Homer : Come on let's go!

    Roy Lee : Wait the hell up, will you Homer? Now I got about as much chance of winning that science fair as you do winning a football scholarship. I know I'm gonna be a miner. I've known my entire life. What the hell's so bad about mining coal anyway?

    Homer : Nothing Roy Lee. It's great. That's why your stepdaddy is the biggest drunk in West Virginia! I mean, come on guys! You know the mine'll kill you!

    [to Quentin] 

    Homer : You ever hear the story about how O'Dell's dad died?

    Roy Lee : Homer... will you forget it, man?

    O'Dell : Shut up, Homer.

    Homer : Piece of slate caught him right in the neck... and it cut his head clear off.

    O'Dell : [tackles Homer]  You son of a bitch!

  • Quentin : [Homer calls Quentin Nigerian]  I am not Nigerian!

  • Homer : [gunshot in background]  Hey Quentin!

    [another gunshot] 

    Homer : That rocket had to have gone up at least 100 feet didn't it?

    Quentin : More like two hundred.

    [another gunshot] 

    Homer : Goddammit.

    Homer : [another gunshot]  Will you cut it out, Roy Lee?

    Roy Lee : Die you son of a bitch!

    [fires another round into the grill of his broken down car]
