Life of Pi2012

Pi Patel:
Then the ship sank. What else do you want from me?

Younger Insurance Investigator:
A story that won't make us look like fools.

Older Insurance Investigator:
We need a simpler story for our report. One our company can understand. A story we can all believe.

Pi Patel:
[pause] So, a story without things you've never seen before.

Older Insurance Investigator:
That's right.

Pi Patel:
Without surprises, without animals, or islands?

Older Insurance Investigator:
Yes, the truth.

Writer:
[back to present, to Adult Pi Patel] So, what did you do?

Adult Pi Patel:
I told them another story.
