Kaji: Critical Eye

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
