FADE IN:
INT. SLEEPING ROOM - DAY
Waking up from a long afternoon nap at her bed spot, KAJI stands up, extends her head and neck, pulls back her lips and inhales repeatedly and forcefully through her nose, making a loud and strong grunting sound.
KAJI (V.O.)
Oh My God! What's wrong
with me!
The PACK LEADER and the GANG rush in and are horrified by the sight.
PACK LEADER
(Alarmed)
Oh My God! What's wrong
with you!
KAJI (V.O.)
How would I know, I simply
can't control myself.
Kaji then turns her elbows out.
GANG MEMBER#1
Oh! She can't breathe properly.
KAJI (V.O.)
Yes, I've a problem in getting
air into my lung.
The pack leader rubs Kaji's sides to comfort her.
GANG MEMBER#2
She can't be choked. No one
have fed her with anything.
It looks as if Kaji is suffering from a seizure.
KAJI (V.O.)
(Confused)
Will I be suffocated? Am
I going to die?
Then, the pack leader keeps calm.
PACK LEADER
Remember what the Vet
said last time? H'mm...
this's reverse sneezing.
PETER quickly researches with his smart phone.
GANG MEMBER#1
Oh yes! She has had similar
episodes before.
Gang member#2 nods.
KAJI (V.O)
Just sneezing? I'm not
going to die?
It seems Peter gets what he wants from the web.
PETER
(Referring to screen texts)
This's a fairly common
respiratory condition for
dogs. It will end on its own
after a few minutes.
KAJI (V.O.)
Nothing extraordinary? Is
that right?
Kaji's reverse sneezing stops.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Yes, it has come and gone.
The pack leader & the gang look relieved.
PETER
It's just a sneezing kind of
conditional reflex to expel
an irritant from her respiration
system.
KAJI (V.O.)
Oh yes, I'm OK now.
Peter continues to refer to the screen texts.
PETER
To help her to end her
episode quicker, we can
massage or rub her
throat gently.
The pack leader and the gang hear that.
KAJI (V.O.)
Okay, they know how to
help me next time.
The pack leader and the gang dismiss as everything returns to normal.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
You all are the air that I
breathe and the beats
of my heart!
INT. SLEEPING ROOM - NIGHT
Peter goes to bed first. He is later joined by his wife and Kaji. As Peter rolls over to his wife's side, Kaji rolls over to Peter's.
KAJI(V.O.)
H'mm, you've been away
for many nights. This's
my another conditional
reflex...
They sleep well.
FADE OUT.
The End
