  4.  

  5. INT. HOME - MORNING

  6.  

  7. Soft rays of sunlight filter through the window. KAJI, with bright and inquisitive eyes, enters.


  8. KAJI (V.O.): The dining room is still.


  9. Kaji sniffs the air, her ears perked up, searching for someone.


  10. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Where's the maid?


  11. Pausing.


  12. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No sign of her or the aroma of breakfast.


  13. Kaji walks closer to the kitchen, nose to the ground.


  14. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No breakfast today, huh?


  15. Pausing.


  16. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): This scenario happens at least once a week.


  17. Act 2


  18. INT. HOME - LATER


  19. Sounds of footstep approaching. Kaji waits eagerly by the main door.


  20. KAJI (V.O): It must be Peter!


  21. Peter appears from behind the door with bags of McDonald's in hand.


  22. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Wow, the mouthwatering aroma fills the air.


  23. Kaji jumps up and down.


  24. PETER: Easy there.


  25. Peter sets the bags down on the table.


  26. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd):  Breakfast time for us!


  27. Peter walks over to the piano, sits down and plays a few cheerful bars.


  28. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): It's Peter's way of letting the Pack Leader know he's back with the takaways.


  29. Pausing.


  30. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): I know we'll have our breakfast without waiting for her, as she'd restrain Peter from sharing food with me.


  31. Pausing.


  32. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): I know when to exploit the system.


  33. As Peter opens some of the bags, Kaji gives him a soulful stare. Peter swiftly serves her small piences of bun and egg.


  34. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Peter makes sure I'd have a tasty treat.


  35. Eating non-stop.


  36. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Peter's presence means food. No commands - just pure, unconditional generosity.


  37. As Pack Leader is about to appear, Kaji turns away from Peter, as if she hasn't eaten anything yet.


  38. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): I know when to play the game.


  39. Appearing, the PACK LEADER places Kaji beside her. She breaks off tiny pieces of bun, setting them in front of Kaji.


  40. PACK LEADER: Sit...Stay...


  41. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Every "Sit" is a leash. Every "Stay" is a cage.


  42. Kaji looks up at the Pack Leader, expecting her next comand.


  43. PACK LEADER: Down...


  44. As she obeys, Kaji is rewarded with a tiny piece of bun.


  45. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): She wants to manage my weight...actually she eats a lot...and me too.


  46. Pausing.


  47. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Betrayal tastes sweet.


  48. Pausing.


  49. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): I sit for treats. I stay for love. I betray for power.


  50. Kaji takes a look of Peter.


  51. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Every betrayal is just a locked door kicked open.


  52. Pausing.


  53. KAJI (V.O) (Cont'd): Loyalty is a leash. Sit. Stay. Betray. I set myself free.
