Kaji: Getting Cues

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

FADE IN.


Act 1


INT. DINING ROOM - NIGHT


KAJI sits behind PETER as he dines with the PACK LEADER and a GANG MEMBER.


KAJI (V.O.): Oh, the pack leader puts several treats on the table.


Kaji behaves as if she can't see it.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Until the pack leader says OK, I am allowed to take any.


The pack leader pushes a treat closer to Kaji.


PACK LEADER: OK!


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Okay, I get her verbal cue. I can take it now.


Kaji grabs the treat with her long tongue.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Peter uses physical signals mostly. I believe I'm more responsive to visual cues.


Act 2


INT. DINING ROOM - CONTINUOUS


Peter leaves the table for the room corridor.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): I'll follow him. I'll be rewarded.


INT. ROOM CORRIDOR - NIGHT


Kaji re-appears, looking satisfied.


KAJI (V.O.): I'll rejoin at the dining table. I might get more treats.


INT. DINING ROOM - SITTING ROOM - NIGHT


Sitting in a chair, Kaji turns her head. She sees Peter relaxing on the sofa staring at her.


KAJI (V.O.): What is he trying to signal? I don't get it.


Kaji then sees Peter winking his eye.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Ah, that's special. I must go and check it out.


Reaching Peter, Kaji gets a treat from him.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): My hunch isn't wrong.


INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY


Kaji is biting a toy ball on a sofa. Then she tears up a part which drops onto the floor.


PETER: Oh! You've broken it!


KAJI (V.O.): Oh, Peter responds with such a loud noise.


Staring at Peter, Kaji doesn't make any move.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Judging from his verbal and visual cues, I've done something wrong this time.


Kaji then stares at the toy part on the floor.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): What can I restitute the position?


As Kaji is thinking, Peter takes a photo of her.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): He's taking evidence. Oh my god!


Act 3


INT. SITTING ROOM - CONTINUOUS


Seeing Kaji's nervousness, Peter looks concerned.


PETER: Well done!


KAJI (V.O.): Well done? That's the only verbal cue he uses. I can understand that.


Relaxed, Kaji scratches her ear with one hand. Peter reaches out to Kaji and uses his hand to scratch it for her.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): He gets my cue and knows which part I feel itchy. I love that.


Kaji looks content.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That also confirms that I've done nothing wrong.


Picking up the part from the floor, Peter re-fixes it into the toy ball.


Kaji sees that.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, it has gone back to the former position. Well done, Peter!


FADE OUT.
