FADE IN:
.
INT. SLEEPING ROOM - MORNING
KAJI (2 7/12) wakes up and stares at PETER. Wearing sleepy eyes, Peter gets out of bed to open the door for her.
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
Kaji greets Peter home.
KAJI (V.O.)
Let' me check if you've
brought me anything...
Kaji sniffs Peter's carrier bag.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
I smell something...It's
hot too... a white bun?
As Peter relaxes in the sofa, Kaji jumps up and sits closely to him, Looking at her, Peter takes out a loaded small bag.
KAJI(V.O.)(Cont'd)
Yes! That's it! A white
bun is inside.
FLASHBACK
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
Peter breaks a piece of the white bun and serves it to Kaji. Kaji ensures that she wouldn't bite the feeding fingers before she consumes the piece in no time.
END FLASHBACK
KAJI(V.O.)(Cont'd)
That's delicious! My
mouth waters. I can't
wait.
Kaji licks intermittently her left lips and right lips.
KAJI(V.O.) (Cont'd)
Give me some! Quick!
Peter gets her message, giving Kaji a piece, another piece... Soon, the bun shrinks in size and only tiny small bits are left on a small sheet of paper.
PETER
Finished! No more!
KAJI (V.O.)
I can see that, but your
fingers still smell good.
Kaji licks them before going to her drinking corner.
INT. SITTING ROOM - NIGHT
Kaji plays with the MAID. Then the door bell rings: DING DONG!
KAJI (V.O.)
Oh! It must be my pack
leader!
Kaji runs to the door to wait for the maid to open it. We see the PACK LEADER with a BAGGAGE at the door. She smiles widely at seeing Kaji who jumps up to her legs.
KAJI(V.O.) (Cont'd)
Welcome home! Where
have you been? What
have you brought me?
Quickly, Kaji sniffs the baggage but is not excited. The pack leader gets a bag on the table and serves Kaji with some treats. Kaji looks happy.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
Food, glorious food!
EXT. ROAD - NIGHT
Inside a car sits the harnessed Kaji and the pack leader in the middle row. Peter navigates from the front-row passenger seat as ZENO drives.
KAJI (V.O.)
This's the first time I see
Zeno drive.
Kaji makes some whining sounds.
ZENO
What's wrong with you?
KAJI (V.O.)
If you can drive, why can't
I?
EXT. PROMENADE - NIGHT
Quiet. Clear like a thoroughfaire. The leash on Kaji begins to straighten
KAJI (V.O.)
I've the urge to run. Run!
Kaji! Run!
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
Yes, walk don't run is no
fun! Not good for my
body shape too.
In seconds, Kaji runs the surprised Peter for over 100 meters.
PETER
(Looking at his sandals)
Oh, my souvenir from
Chaing Mai has broken!
KAJI (V.O.)
Okay, I hear you...
Kaji slows down and checks a band's performance nearby. As Zeno approaches to lend a hand, Peter passes him the leash.
PETER
She runs again!
EXT. SEASIDE RESTAURANT - NIGHT
Kaji rests in her carrier cot. She looks away from Peter but smiles to the pack leader and Zeno.
KAJI (V.O.)
Thank you for taking
and driving me here!
I love to stretch my
legs.
Peter captures the moment with his phone camera. Many women passers-by also turn their heads and mimic Kaji's smile. One (40s) even kisses her.
ONE
How beautiful!
One's male PARTNER (40s) then remarks.
PARTNER
We've one too. Your's
fat!
KAJI (V.O.)
What did you say? Are
you jealous?
KAJI (V.O,)(Cont'd)
I'm the equivalent of
an 18-year girl. My beauty
is captivating!
Kaji doesn't bother to engage him.
FADE OUT. The End
