Greg: Why would I need that?
DJ: So you will learn how to cite correct and not be accused of plagiarism.
Greg: nahhh I can't be held responsible for plagiarism if I don't know what I am doing. So what I don't know won't hurt. You can have that.

Greg: Control-C and Control- V. I'm finished. That wasn't too bad.

DJ: Hey Greg. I see you have your Thesaurus out. You decided to write it correctly huh?
