Arthur, Season 11

Catherine:
[offscreen, calls Francine] Hey squirt, come here!

[Francine stands up off of the sofa and walks to her and Catherine's room]

Catherine:
I was online and found some stuff you might want to use for your paper.

Francine:
Oh thanks, but I finished it already. [looks at the printed article in surprise] Hey, this is my paper!

Catherine:
You mean, you already used some of this information?

Francine:
I used the whole thing. It was perfect for the topic. So I cut and pasted it into a new document and added a title.

Catherine:
[disappointed] Francine, you CAN'T do that!

Francine:
Why not?

Catherine:
Because that's PLAGIARISM, that's why.

Francine:
No, it isn't. It's called finishing your work early, so you can enjoy Thanksgiving. [worried] What's "plagiarism"?

Catherine:
[picks up the printed article] It's when you take someone else's work and claim it's your own. It's basically STEALING.

Francine:
But I already handed it in. So, you think I can get an "F"?

Catherine:
Worse! You could be SUSPENDED.

Francine:
Huh?

Oliver:
[offscreen, from the kitchen] Kids! Dinner's ready!

Catherine:
[whispers] You have to tell Ratburn!
