FADE IN.
Act 1
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
KAJI sees PETER checking out a big container.
KAJI (V.O.): That's where their pet tortoises live.
Kaji checks Peter's motion.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): I believe he's taking them to their pet garden.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Where's our maid? She must be on leave today.
Kaji follows Peter into the bathroom.
INT. BATHROOM - DAY
Opening the container, Peter puts the two tortoises into the bathtub.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): He does that very carefully. I'm a bit jealous.
We hear tap water sounds.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Oh, I don't want to bathe. I hate it.
Kaji walks away.
Act 2
INT. SLEEPING ROOM - DAY
Relaxing in bed, Peter is looking for something. Kaji jumps onto the bed to join him.
KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): My field of vision is quite wide. He's looking for his handbag which isn't too far away from him.
FLASHBACK
EXT. ROAD JUNCTIONS - DAY
Kaji, the PACK LEADER and Peter arrive before the traffic lights. The signal is red.
PETER: Stop!
KAJI (V.O.): I know we shouldn't cross.
Kaji pays no attention to the signal when it turns to green.
PETER: Go!
They cross the road.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can't tell how Peter makes the decision. I simply follow his sound and his body posture as cues.
END FLASHBACK
Kaji stares at Peter's arm and hand motions.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): What's it that he tries to communicate with me?
Peter then takes out a tissue paper.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Does he want to sneeze? Oh, dear!
Act 3
INT. SLEEPING ROOM - CONTINUOUS
Peter then unwraps the tissue paper carefully.
KAJI (V.O.): My critical eye can see there's something.
Kaji begins to sniff.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, I can smell a treat.
After letting Kaji enjoy the treat, Peter goes back to the bathroom.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): He's now playing with the tortoises. He loves them too.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can feel that with my heart.
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
Following Peter, Kaji sits next to him on a sofa.
KAJI (V.O.): I've got Peter's silent cue. I trust my instinct that Peter won't love me less.
Kaji looks content.
FADE OUT.
THE END
