You're right, the pronunciation does vary a bit from the standard "wei." But these kinds of variations do happen in China. Many people say something closer to "vei" or "lei" as you suggest. 

And while the picture is colorful and lively, I think the dialogue makes it clear that nothing sexy is going to happen here ;-)

Perhaps this is a bit advanced for elementary, but how do you say, "He can't take hint" in Chinese.
