0:00:59 > 0:01:01Hey, DW!

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Hey! Whoa-oh!

0:01:07 > 0:01:10BELL RINGS

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Hasten thyself, good Master Buster.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20The schoolmaster will be most irate if thou art tardy.

0:01:20 > 0:01:22He will punish thee roundly.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25In a moment, good neighbour Arthur.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28I canst but help look upon yon poor girl.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32Nay, good Master Buster. Look not upon the wretched thief

0:01:32 > 0:01:36lest it ruin the taste of tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast.

0:01:36 > 0:01:41- Willst there be turkey, good Master Brain?- Aye, and onion garlic stew.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43I couldst live without the stew,

0:01:43 > 0:01:47but the thought of turkey brightens my soul.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49'Tis most sad that our dear friend

0:01:49 > 0:01:52will languish in yonder stockade while we sup.

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Couldst we not bring her a crust of bread?

0:01:55 > 0:01:57Nay, good children,

0:01:57 > 0:02:00she hath committed the most egregious crime

0:02:00 > 0:02:03known to student and schoolmaster alike.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07She must contemplate the error of her ways.

0:02:07 > 0:02:14But I didn't even know it was wrong! I won't do it again! Let me out!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16DOG SLOBBERS

0:02:16 > 0:02:17Eurgh!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31Thanksgiving is on Thursday, so I have a surprise!

0:02:31 > 0:02:33- No homework?- Pumpkin pie?

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Nope, a five-page report due one week from today.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39ALL: Oh!

0:02:39 > 0:02:40Yay!

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- That's a terrible surprise. - On the contrary.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48It will help you appreciate the many facets of this holiday.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Each of you will explore a unique topic

0:02:51 > 0:02:54that I trust you will find most illuminating.

0:02:54 > 0:02:59Pilgrim fashion? What fashion?! They always wore black.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03Why do we celebrate Thanksgiving on the same day every year?

0:03:03 > 0:03:07Oh! I was hoping for the socio-political repercussions

0:03:07 > 0:03:09of the Arminius-Gomarus conflict.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12It's your lucky day. I'll trade you.

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Pilgrim cuisine?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Great(!) Five pages about yams.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19I'm doomed!

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Five pages. How will I ever write five pages?

0:03:24 > 0:03:26This must be like college,

0:03:26 > 0:03:31except we still have to be in bed by nine, and can't drive. ..Oh!

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Sorry, Francine. Wow, you have more books than even I take out.

0:03:35 > 0:03:40- Are you starting your own library? - They're for the Thanksgiving report.

0:03:40 > 0:03:44I couldn't find any one book with all the information.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48I strained my back - now I won't be able to play basketball all season!

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I've got a better idea. Come on.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57You can probably get most of the information you need

0:03:57 > 0:03:59off the internet.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03Just type in what you're looking for - "Pilgrim's diet".

0:04:03 > 0:04:07Then hit "Search". You get more specific results

0:04:07 > 0:04:09if you put quotation marks in.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Here's a list of some links that might be helpful.

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Be careful, though. Some stuff on the internet isn't accurate,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21so it's best to check your facts with other sources.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23Thanks!

0:04:25 > 0:04:29"A large part of their diet was comprised of corn and wild deer,

0:04:29 > 0:04:31"which is called venison."

0:04:31 > 0:04:34This website has everything I need.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Copy...cut...

0:04:39 > 0:04:41paste.

0:04:41 > 0:04:48"Food for Thought: What the Pilgrims Ate, by Francine Frensky."

0:04:48 > 0:04:53Save. I'm done! That wasn't so bad.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Oh, wait.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Now I'm done!

0:05:04 > 0:05:08Here's my report, Mr Ratburn. I finished early.

0:05:08 > 0:05:09THEY GASP

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Hmm, very nice!

0:05:12 > 0:05:16You did all this last night? And it's typed?

0:05:16 > 0:05:21Um, I was doing the research and I thought I might as well finish it.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23"Food for Thought" - I like it!

0:05:23 > 0:05:26I look forward to reading it, Francine.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28What? Why are you staring?

0:05:28 > 0:05:32I...just didn't know you could work so quickly.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35You must've really liked the topic.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37It was OK. I guess.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40Just seeing if you're a robot.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48I finished my report, Mom. Wanna look it over?

0:05:48 > 0:05:53I'd love to. Buster, I don't think it counts as five pages

0:05:53 > 0:05:55if you make your letters so big.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Sorry!- Aw!

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Pal!

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Oh!

0:06:13 > 0:06:14Oh!

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- SHE GASPS - My nail!

0:06:20 > 0:06:22SPORTS GAME ON TV

0:06:22 > 0:06:27Oh! Tyrell should've passed to Kaminski - he was totally open!

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Hey, sport, come here! >

0:06:30 > 0:06:35I was online and found some stuff you might want to use for your paper.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Thanks, but I finished it. Hey, this is my paper!

0:06:38 > 0:06:42- You already used some of this information?- The whole thing.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44It was perfect for the topic,

0:06:44 > 0:06:48so I cut and pasted it and added a title.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Francine, you can't do that! - Why not?

0:06:51 > 0:06:54Because that's plagiarism, that's why.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57No, it isn't, it's finishing your work early

0:06:57 > 0:07:01so you can enjoy Thanksgiving. What's...plagiarism?

0:07:01 > 0:07:04When you take someone else's work

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- and claim it's your own. Basically, stealing.- But I handed it in!

0:07:08 > 0:07:11So you think I can get an F?

0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Worse. You could be suspended.- Huh?!

0:07:14 > 0:07:17< Kids, dinner's ready!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19You'll have to tell Ratburn.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24This apple-walnut stuffing is delicious.

0:07:24 > 0:07:27It should taste familiar. I STOLE the recipe from Bubby.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29When I was a little girl,

0:07:29 > 0:07:32I PINCHED an apple from Boris the greengrocer.

0:07:32 > 0:07:37I got in so much trouble. And it didn't even taste very good.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41What's wrong, Frankie? You're usually finished and TAKING things

0:07:41 > 0:07:44- off my plate by now!- I'm not a thief!

0:07:44 > 0:07:48I mean, oh... I just don't feel so well right now.

0:07:48 > 0:07:50Can I be excused to get some air?

0:07:52 > 0:07:56I'll just tell him the truth. I didn't know it was wrong.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00He'll understand. He has to!

0:08:02 > 0:08:04Francine, I saw you ride up.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08Ah-hem. I think I know why you're here.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10You...you do?

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Come in.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13'But it wasn't until 1848,

0:08:13 > 0:08:17'when Giovanni d'Arcoli introduced gold-leaf fillings,

0:08:17 > 0:08:21'that dentists began winning the war on cavities...'

0:08:21 > 0:08:26The DVD of the nine-hour History Of Dentistry. Fascinating.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Let's see. Your paper was somewhere over here.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33- I was just about to grade it. Ah, here it is.- I...

0:08:33 > 0:08:37I have to explain. You see, I was reading this article...

0:08:37 > 0:08:41Here you go. No doubt you'll be...disappointed.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44A-?!

0:08:44 > 0:08:48I couldn't give you an A. There was some misinformation on page two.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yams were not introduced until later.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55- Other than that, it was excellent. - Uh... Thanks.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59- What was your reference source? - A book called...

0:08:59 > 0:09:0422...Secret...Pilgrim...Recipes.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Hmm, never heard of it.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Was there something else you wanted to talk to me about?

0:09:10 > 0:09:15Uh, I was just dying to know how I did. Happy Thanksgiving!

0:09:17 > 0:09:19You feeling better, kiddo?

0:09:19 > 0:09:23- We're about to start dessert. - I'll be right there.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Did you go to Ratburn's? Was he upset?

0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Did he give you an F?- Not exactly.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31Not exactly? What does that mean?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33It means I took care of it, OK?

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Let's just forget about it and have some pie!

0:09:48 > 0:09:53Since we got endorsement, sales have gone through the roof!

0:09:53 > 0:09:57- Have you thought about your next book yet?- I'm already working on it.

0:09:57 > 0:10:02ALL: Cut, paste, save. Cut, paste, save.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Cut, paste, save.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08Cut, paste, save.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Who should I make it out to?

0:10:10 > 0:10:13The victim of your heinous crime.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17"To my dear victim of my heinous..."

0:10:17 > 0:10:18SHE GASPS

0:10:18 > 0:10:20I knew I'd find you one day.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25I am the author of that article you plagiarised off the internet.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28- SHE SCREAMS - Why do you wear a mask?

0:10:28 > 0:10:33Is it because rage and envy has permanently disfigured you?

0:10:33 > 0:10:36No. I just have very sensitive skin,

0:10:36 > 0:10:41but I am filled with rage, and I have come for my revenge!

0:10:41 > 0:10:42No!

0:10:42 > 0:10:44THEY GASP

0:10:44 > 0:10:51Behold. The real truth - Francine Frensky is a plagiarist!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53No, please...

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I didn't know it was wrong. I swear. I didn't know!

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Oh...

0:11:09 > 0:11:11I came up with the title,

0:11:11 > 0:11:15but everything else was from the website, word for word.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- I see.- I swear I didn't know it was wrong at the time

0:11:18 > 0:11:21and I was going to confess, but...

0:11:21 > 0:11:25I didn't notice, and you thought you might get away with it.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28But even if you had, you still would have paid a price.

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- I would?- When someone plagiarises, there are two crimes.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34The author is robbed of credit,

0:11:34 > 0:11:39and the person who plagiarises is robbed of really learning.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Mr Ratburn, before you decide to fail or suspend me,

0:11:43 > 0:11:46I just want you to know, I wrote another paper.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50- It's probably not as good, but... - But it's yours,

0:11:50 > 0:11:55and that's more important than the grade you get. See you in class.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Muffy, nice work, although your reference

0:11:58 > 0:12:03to embroidery as "Pilgrim bling" felt inappropriate.

0:12:03 > 0:12:08Binky, Arminius and Gomarus were theologians, not wrestlers.

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Oh!

0:12:10 > 0:12:15Ah, Francine. Not bad. Very...original!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17Woo-hoo!

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Yes, a B!

0:12:19 > 0:12:21What's so great about a B?

0:12:21 > 0:12:26Nothing, but it's my B. All mine!
