10. 
    

11. Walking past amenities, Kaji heads towards the green grass.

12. 
    

13. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Nothing's more pleasant to the eye than the green grass.

14. 
    

15. Kaji steps on the green grass.

16. 
    

17. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Unlike hard surfaces, my feet are cushioned and I feel soft.

18. 
    

19. Kaji turns her head to look at the Pack Leader and Peter.

20. 
    

21. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd: Come and join me. Let's get connected to nature!

28. 
    

29. We hear Peter talking to the Pack Leader.

30. 
    

31. PETER: Yesterday, she pooped happily here.

32. 
    

33. Kaji continues to find her spot.

34. 
    

35. KAJI (V.O.): I'm trying to find a patch of grass that's greener than the others.

36. 
    

37. PETER (Cont'd): I don't think she'll poop here today.

38. 
    

39. It appears that Kaji has found her perfect spot.

40. 
    

41. KAJI (V.O.): This is it!

42. 
    

43. Immediately, Kaji urinates just a little on the green grass.

44. 
    

45. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That's all I've got.

46. 
    

47. PETER (Cont'd): She just wants to do scent marking.

48. 
    

49. Then, the Pack Leader and Peter see Kaji kicking the green grass several times.

50. 
    

51. KAJI (V.O.): Nevertheless, I've got great satisfaction!

52. 
    

53. PACK LEADER: Oh, what a surprise!

54. 
    

55. PETER: Yes, she only kicks grass like that when she'd done a big business.

56. 
    

57. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Here's my turf.

58. 
    

59. PETER: Should we take her to the promenade?

60. 
    

61. The Pack Leader hesitates.

62. 
    

63. PACK LEADER: The grass there doesn't seem to be greener than the grass here.

64. 
    

65. Then, they see a WOMAN and a PET approaching.

66. 
    

67. KAJI (V.O.): As I'm in good mood, perhaps I'd engage the stranger.

68. 
    

69. As Kaji engages it, the pet barks excessively at her.

70. 
    

71. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I won't force you to confront your fear.

72. 
    

73. Stopping her eye contact and physical touch, Kaji moves away from the pet. And the woman and the pet leave.

74. 
    

75. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They may be going to the promenade, but I'm not keen to go anymore.

76. 
    

77. Pausing.

78. 
    

79. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The grass there might be greener until one gets there.

80. 
    

81. Strolling, Kaji sees several sparrows resting on the green grass.

82. 
    

83. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They like the green grass too.

84. 
    

85. Pausing.

86. 
    

87. KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): What would the world be like without green grass?

88. 
    

89. Staring at the sparrows.

90. 
    

91. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I just wonder if they'd like to play with me.

92. 
    

93. As Kaji moves closer to the sparrows, they fly away.

94. 
    

95. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd):Got no wings, I've to stay behind.

96. 
    

97. Kaji takes a look of the Pack Leader and Peter.

98. 
    

99. KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): What would our home be like without me?

109. Pausing.

110. 
     

111. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The grass here can be greener if I water it more often.

112. 
     

113. Thinking.

114.
