Miss Thompson.
I want to see you in my office. Now.

:31:16
- She'd like to see you.
- What for?

:31:18
I don't know.
:31:23
Mr. Sharp. Come in. Have a seat.
:31:32
So, I understand you're
the new assistant cheerleading coach.

:31:35
That's right.
:31:36
May I ask what you were doing in my class?
:31:38
That's the way we do things on our squad.
If somebody's in the...

:31:42
Let me be blunt, Mr. Sharp.
:31:44
Barb's cheerleading
is interfering with her work.

:31:48
And for the record, you should know
I think cheerleading is stupid.

:31:51
I couldn't agree with you more.
:31:54
She downloaded this paper
on plant imagery in Macbeth...

:31:58
off the Internet.
:32:00
I know, because I wrote it 20 years ago
when I was an undergraduate.

:32:04
Must be a hell of a paper.
:32:07
Yes, I thought it was pretty good.
:32:10
But that is not the point.
Plagiarism is simply not acceptable.

:32:15
I've given Barb an F on that assignment.
:32:17
If she wants to remain on the squad,
or in the school, for that matter...

:32:21
her next paper on Romeo and Juliet
had better be wholly original.

:32:24
I'll explain your position to Barb...
:32:26
and make sure she understands it,
explicitly.

:32:31
Well, good.
:32:33
Fine.
:32:37
Okay, what's the big deal?
Presidents don't write their speeches.

:32:40
When you're President, you can be
as lenient as you want to on plagiarism.

:32:44
But wait. This play has five acts.
:32:46
She can't expect me to read the whole thing.
:32:48
It's all written in ye olde
weird English anyway.

:32:51
- Hey, Barb.
- Hi, Scoot.

:32:53
Besides, people think being a cheerleader
is this nonstop party and everything...

:32:58
but, you know, they're so wrong.
