John looks at Elsie after Homer stormed out. Elsie says nothing.

Homer waves goodbye to the Rocket Boys as they see him off at the bus station.

A Greyhound bus labeled “INDIANAPOLIS” drives through the countryside.

Homer looks out the bus window at the passing scenery.

At the Indiana Exhibition Hall, a banner reads “Welcome America’s Future Scientists”

A PA announcement is heard over the exhibits:

“Welcome to Indianapolis. Visitors to the fair will include prominent members of every branch of the national scientific community. The fair will be open to the public over the next two days. The following day, the judges will arrive to select the winners.”

Homer explains his exhibit to a group of visitors
