SCIENCE TEACHER:

Pi is aghast. Several students splutter and howl, whispering
the slip to others. Laughter ripples around the room, all
eyes on Pi.
BOY:
He said Pissing!
SCIENCE TEACHER:

ADULT PI (V.O.)
Well, no. Not quite ...
As Pi returns to his seat, Bully #2 leans forward,
whispering:

But I still had the whole day ahead
