TEXT: In science class Ms. Hatzilakos: The physics of attraction and repulsion is what we're going to explore today using static electricity. So I want all of you to pay careful attention to your experiments and please make sure that you take detailed notes. (JT is playing with the mastodon skeletons and talking in a funny voice.) JT: Will you be my friend Toby Isaacs? Toby: Will you shut up and do your work? JT: Hello! (He pops up, scaring Emma and Manny.) Emma: JT! Manny: Ugh! You idiot. JT: I'm a mastodon and I died ten thousand years ago. Emma: You ruined this! JT: Will you be my friend? Emma and Manny: No! JT: You have the cutest little bones. I bet you say that to all the skeletal mastodons. No, just you. I'm going to kissy kissy you all over. (JT starts making the mastodons hump each other and everyone else laughs.) Ms. Hatzilakos: JT Yorke! JT: Uh sorry Ms. Hatzilakos. (He speaks as the mastodons again) Uh I'm sorry too. No, don't listen to him. He's lying! Ms. Hatzilakos: One week guinea pig duty. Everyday before and after school. Right here with me. The next morning, JT is walking up to the school before it opens JT: Thanks. (He walks into the classroom.) JT: Good morning Ms. Hatzilakos. Ms. Hatzilakos: Oh good morning JT. Okay let's get started. Right this way. So we mainly feed the guinea pigs dried Timothy grass, supplemented with pellets, fresh vegetables. Of course they always need a fresh supply of water. (JT stands in front of the cupboard.) Ms. Hatzilakos: Do you mind? JT: Oh sorry. (Ms. Hatzilakos and JT purposely drops his pen on the ground.) JT: Oh is that your pen
