FILM SCRIPT 2: talk to camera section -

Ending scene

Teacher- So, this was a great ending for such tragedy. Although you may not end in a very pleasant way and can end in a worse tragedy so please do not do it.

Jake crying

Teacher-  As you can see when you plagiarize you hurt other people's feelings so don't do it. If you hack it means you are stealing other people’s work and wasting their time.

‘SOCRATIC’ EDIT 2

Ending scene

Teacher- So, this was a great ending for such a serious matter. Although you may not end in a very pleasant way and can end in a worse situation so avoid doing it.

Jake crying

Teacher-  As you can see when you plagiarize, you hurt other people's feelings which could cause serious trouble. If you hack, it means you are stealing other people’s work and taking their hard work.
