FADE IN:
.
INT. SITTING ROOM - NIGHT
The main door opens.
KAJI (V.O.)
Who's back? Oh, it's
the elder girl member!
I must rush to greet
her.
Halfway to the door, Kaji slows her pace, stops and begins to pant with pig-like sounds.
KAJI(V.O.)(Cont'd)
What's happening to
me? Something irritates
me, but I can't sneeze it
out. Quite the reverse...
A moment.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
There's a sudden attack
on my body. Am I having
a seizure? I can hardly
breathe!
The PACK LEADER, PETER and pack MEMBERS# 1 & 2 surround Kaji but don't know how to react.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont''d)
Their scary looks scare me!
I'm not going to die...let
me calm down...
A beat.
KAJI(V.O.) (Cont'd)
Okay... it's gone... Yes, it's
gone. I feel fine...
MEMBER#2
She had the same earlier
today.
Peter uses his phone to research.
PETER
As she pants, she might
have asthma. It can be
life-threatening.
PACK LEADER
Don't jump to conclusions.
Let's take her to see the
Vet tomorrow.
EXT. DOG GARDEN - DAY
Having played with her FRIEND#1 (Alaskan Malamute) and FRIEND#2 (Irish Terrier) for awhile, Kaji leaves with the pack leader and Peter.
INT.. VET CLINIC - DAY
NURSE#1 tries to play with Kaji who doesn't want to engage. Nurse#2 comes out from the consultation room.
NURSE#2
It's your turn now.
KAJI (V.O.)
I haven't seen my Vet
for many months now.
Inside, NURSE#3 holds Kaji tight on a table.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
Don't worry, I know
your job.
The pack leader and Peter speak to the VET (30s). The Vet then mimics Kaji's behaviour.
KAJI (V.O,) (Cont'd)
The Vet sounds like a
pig too!
VET
(To Pack leader & Peter)
Like that?
The pack leader and Peter nod.
VET (Cont'd)
This's called reverse
sneezing, which is
pretty common in
dogs.
The Vet plays a Youtube video clip for the pack leader and Peter to see.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Yes, I sounded like that
too.
VET (Cont'd)
An X-ray won't reveal
anything. There's no
need for her to take
any medication.
The pack leader and Peter look relieved.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd) Judging from their facial
expression, I know I'm
alright!
PACK LEADER
Time is about ripe for
her to take a vaccination.
The Vet administers an injection out of Kaji's sight.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd)
It seems that the Vet's
fingers can sting! As
the sting is mild, I
won't make a fuss.
Nurse#3 gives Kaji a treat.
KAJI(V.O.)(Cont'd)
What do you mean?
A consultation is not
a treat. Furthermore,
I don't like to eat out.
The pack leader pockets the unwanted treat.
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
Having settled down, the pack leader passes Kaji her unwanted treat.
KAJI (V.O.)
As we're at home and
its from you. I'll take it.
Finishing it, Kaji retires to her sofa, looking tired.
KAJI (V.O.)
I don' t like the sting
after all... FADE OUT. The End
