FADE IN.
EXT. PET GARDEN - DAY
KAJI plays with her friends. The PACK LEADER chats with a WOMAN (30s). Sitting on a bench, PETER types his phone.
KAJI (V.O.)
(Looking at a small one)
A few new friends.
This one is short and
is bothering me.
Perhaps, we should
leave.
PACK LEADER
Let's go!
KAJI (V.O.)
Okay. I'm ready to go
home.
They leave. Kaji takes the lead.
PACK LEADER
This way.
KAJI(V.O.) (Cont'd)
(Surprised)
This way? Not the
direct route to go
home...I don't mind
hanging around by
the seaside though.
Let's go then!
On a leash, Kaji runs the pack leader. Peter is following from behind.
EXT. KWUN TONG FERRY PIER - DAY
A queue of over a dozen PEOPLE.
.
PACK LEADER
Stop! We queue here.
KAJI (V.O.)
Stop hear? Not our
habit. Are we going anywhere?
As an old ferry moors, the pack leader picks Kaji up and carry her. Peter escorts them getting on board the ferry.
EXT. FERRY - DAY
Upper deck. A few rows of wooden benches. They sit at a rear corner.
KAJI (V.O)
(Curiously)
Well, I've never been
on board a thing like
this. The seat isn't
soft. Is it a big car?
Staying put, Kaji looks around.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
There's a lot of water
on the ground. But it
hasn't been raining.
Strange...
Loud engine sounds.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
The car's engine
doesn't sound good.
The ferry is departing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
OMG! The waterly
ground is moving...
Oh, I'm actually at
sea!
Both the pack leader and Peter pet Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
That's reassuring...
The pier becomes farther and farther away from them.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I love the breeze. So
refreshing!
The pack leader lets Kaji using her paws to support herself on a railing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Yes, I'll hold tight.
Kaji has a 180 degree sea view.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
This seafront view
on this moving thing
is excellent. We're
crossing the harbour!
The pack leader, Peter and two WOMEN PASSENGERS (20s) are busy taking photos of Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I don't mind. I'm
having a great time!
As the ferry moors, the pack leader picks up Kaji and carry her to alight carefully.
EXT. SAI WAN HO PIER - NIGHT
As they enter the small pier area, Kaji continues to observe the ferry.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
This thing doesn't
have wheels, but it
moves alright.
Inside, about two dozens people are waiting. PASSENGERS use their Octopus cards to tap on the reader as a woman GATE KEEPER (60s) watches.
PETER
(To pack leader)
Our pet's fee is $5.
Just put the coin in
coin box.
Cling!
PACK LEADER
Done!
Passing the gate, the pack leader puts Kaji on the ground. Kaji does a wet-dog shake.
PETER
Great! She has had
her first ferry ride!
KAJI (V.O.)
Oh, this is my first
ferry ride!
As she walks, she gazes at the departing ferry on the side.
KAJI (V.O.)
It's a comfortable
ride. I'd love to do
it again!
PACK LEADER
We'll walk around
first.
KAJI (V.O.)
Sure.
In a distance, they see some moving objects.
PACK LEADER
Oh, there's a pet
party.
KAJI (V.O.)
Are they meant to
meet and greet me?
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Never mind, here I'm,
my new friends!
Kaji begins to join her new friends.
FADE OUT.
