FADE IN
Act 1
INT. HOME - DAY
Sitting on a sofa, KAJI looks out of the window.
KAJI (V.O.): I can feel some uncomfortable changes.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I sense that today won't be a fine day.
Seeing food on the table later, Kaji joins the PACK LEADER and the GANG.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Eat therapy is fine.
PACK LEADER (to Gang): Do you think our Babe would like to go out today?
Recalling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yesterday at the promenade, I was a little naughty...
Act 2
FLASHBACK
EXT. PROMENADE - YESTERDAY
Leading the Pack Leader and PETER, Kaji finds her favourite spot and poops without delay.
KAJI (V.O.): I sensed that we're going out today and so I didn't poop at home.
Then, they hear squeaky sounds.
KAJI (V.O.): Are they from my prey?
Then, they see SOMEONE taking pictures for a COUPLE and a KID.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It seems that the kid is responsive to the sounds too.
Reacting.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I feel the urge to find my prey first.
On a leash, Kaji runs into the family. The Pack Leader follows reluctantly.
PACK LEADER: No, we're bothering the family's photo-taking session.
As Kaji insists on intruding, the Pack Leader carries Kaji away from the family.
KAJI (V.O.): But I haven't done my job yet...
Later, when Kaji is allowed to be on her own again, we hear the same squeaking sounds again.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I must go and silence my prey.
Having run into the family again, the Pack Leader carries Kaji from the family once again.
RETURN TO PRESENT
Retreating to a sofa later, the Pack Leader and the Gang focus on colourful moving images on a big screen.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They seldom do that as they're always on the move, even without me.
Kaji looks out of the window.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): What's happening outside is bothering me.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Black clouds have already conquered the Sun.
We hear thunders.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They're very loud and clear to me.
Kaji goes to sit on Peter's lap.
PETER: She's trembling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I feel the sky tumbling down.
Trembling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Is this the beginning of the end?
Kaji observes the Pack Leader and the Gang.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't know why they remain amazingly calm...
Trembling.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Trembling is my cue to them of imminent danger.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But they still don't get it!
Act 3
INT. HOME - CONTINUOUS
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): On a fine day, just a simple walk outside is pleasurable.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): On a rainy day, no one mind staying in a dry, nice and warm place.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): My idea of absolute happiness now is to be with the Pack Leader and the Gang at home.
Seeing the vacant massage chair, Kaji takes it.
FADE OUT
THE END
