Writer's picture: Peter K F Cheung SBSPeter K F Cheung SBS

FADE IN.


Act 1


INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY


KAJI sees PETER taking a banana from the table before sitting on a sofa.


KAJI (V.O.): Great!


Licking her lips, Kaji joins Peter by his side.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): The banana seems to be smiling at me.


Kaji focuses on Peter's banana.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): I know Peter'd share his banana with me.


Peter gives Kaji a bit of the banana.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Yes, more please.

'

Kaji eats it as she stares at Peter.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Let's never split.


Act 2


NT. SITTING ROOM - CONTINUOUS

Peter and the PACK LEADER are watching TV.


PETER: Smuggling dogs to Mainland China?


Kaji sees images of dogs in crates on TV, and we hear: They've Hong Kong registration microchips. Their owners in Mainland China want to reunite with them.


PACK LEADER: Oh dear!


KAJi (V.O.): I can smell no scent. But I can see from the cues of Peter and the pack leader that there's something wrong with them.


PETER: If there's evidence of the owners' involvement in the smuggling, they'll be prosecuted.


PACK LEADER: What if they don't surface to reclaim them...Oh dear!


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, I can tell from their cues that those dogs in crates are in great trouble.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've never been inside a crate before.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can imagine how terrible it'd be - just all by myself, strangers and stuff around me, without food and drinks.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): There's only fear...


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Their pain and suffering have put me in distress too.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Even my tight-curled tail will tuck.


Act 3


INT. SITTING ROOM - CONTINUOUS


Thinking.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Before we saw those poor dogs on TV, Peter and I had shared a banana.


Pondering.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Has our banana sharing caused those dogs in distress?


Kaji sees the pack leader finishing the last banana on the table.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): She ate it all by herself and wouldn't share it with me.


Kaji sees no pets on TV again.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): And then those poor dogs on TV disappear...


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Hmm, I'm not stupid. I see the cause and effect.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But can I desist having bananas with Peter? That's my bottom line.


Pondering.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But it can't beat our top priority though. I'll be their smile and we'll never split.


FADE OUT.

THE END
