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

FADE IN.


Act 1


INT. SLEEPING ROOM - EARLY MORNING


Still dark. KAJI sees the PACK LEADER coming in.


KAJI (V.O.): Following the movement of the air, I can sniff the first odor of morning.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The pack leader must have fallen asleep in the sitting room again.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm still sleepy.


Kaji sleeps again.


INT. SLEEPING ROOM - CORRIDOR - MORNING


Hearing some sounds, Kaji gets out of bed to sniff the corridor floor.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can smell the remaining odor of the maid. She has already left home.


Peter appears.


PETER: I'm going out. Stay home.


Act 2


INT. SITTING ROOM - MORNING


After sniffing, KAJI goes to the door.


KAJI (V.O.): I can sniff the odor of Peter.


Door opens.


Kaji sees Peter holding two loaded plastic bags.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Let me check what's inside.


Standing up on hind legs, Kaji sniffs the bags slightly.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Among other things, there's some bread. My nose is particularly sensitive to the odor of food.


Kaji escorts Peter to the dining room.


INT. DINING ROOM - LATER


As Peter puts the bags of food on the table, Kaji sits guarding.


PETER: Breakfast on the table!


KAJI (V.O.): Yes, the pack leader and a gang member have to be told, or they don't know.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They rely on their eyes to survive.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): My nose is an instrument of precision. I believe my nose is at least 1000 times more sensitive than them!


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I reckon I spend about 1/3 of my time sniffing.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): While doing that, scent particles stick on my healthy damp nose. They make me smell better the environment.


Recalling.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That's why when I lick Peter, I start off by licking his nose as wet as mine.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): As he uses a lot of his eyes, I lick them ceremoniously.


Pausing.


My healthy wet nose allows me to smell the world better.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I use both my eyes and nose to assess the environment to communicate.


Kaji doesn't see anyone coming out from the corridor.

KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, can't they smell the room is full of glorious odor?


Act 3


INT. DINING ROOM - LATER


As the pack leader and a gang member take their seats, Kaji shares a seat with Peter.


KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I believe I need good food to keep my nose, my eyes and my fur in top form.


They begin to have breakfast together.


INT. SLEEPING ROOM - NIGHT


Kaji sees Peter in bed.


KAJI (V.O.): I can smell odor in different locations.


Pausing.


KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): It's bedtime, although the pack leader is still working outside.


With sleepy eyes, Kaji lies down in her spot.


FADE OUT.

THE END
