Fifteen [title card shows Arthur hoping on D.W.'s trike]

Mr. Haney [speaking on P.A.]: We have something very special, we would like to introduce you

our very own George Lundrain

[Miss Tingley whispers]

Mr. Haney: Thank you, Miss Tingley. George Lundgren will be appearing on a radio quiz show called 15 Minutes of Fame, and he will be playing for a total of $500.

Arthur: Congratulations, George. How did get to appear?

Mr. Ratburn: Remember class, your art history reports are due tomorrow.

Buster: Do we still get merit points for everyone who turns in their reports?

Mr. Ratburn: Yes, and for everyone who turns it in will have 15 merit points.

Francine: And then, we'll break the 500 mark.

Binky: And that means....

All: No Homework Day!

[Buster Speaks Dutch]

Arthur: What does that mean?

Buster: It means "Good moring, how are you?'" in Dutch. I made it up while I did my report. Did you know-

Buster: What's wrong?

Arthur: My report on Michelangelo, it's at home.

Buster: Oh no. If you don't hand it in, we won't get No Homework Day. Knowing Ratburn, he'll probably turn into Extra Homework Day.

[flashback starts, Mr. Ratburn pulls a wheelbarrow of homework.]

[dreadful music plays]

Mr. Ratburn [angrily]: Muffy, learn French by tomorrow!

[Muffy groans]

Mr. Ratburn: Binky, write a novel, and don't use the internet!

[Binky groans]

Mr. Ratburn: If Arthur didn't turn his report in on time, things would be very different!

[Class starts looking mad at Arthur]

Arthur: I, I was in a hurry! I said I was sorry!

[flashback ends]

Buster: You have time! Go!

David Read: Uh oh, Jane! Arthur left his report here. He said if he didn't turn it in there would be big trouble!
