  1. FADE IN


  2. Act 1


  3. INT. BATHROOM, CLUB HOUSE - 20:45


  4. PETER is bathing.


  5. PETER (V.O.): Oh, I've told my wife that we don't need to hire a car during our Sept travel to Wakayama...


  6. Pausing.


  7. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've forgotten that, last time, I toured Wakayama alone; and I didn't have any baggage.


  8. Pausing.


  9. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): But my wife would carry a baggage, even though we stayed one night in Macao.


  10. Pausing.


  11. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): She was dutiful. She meant to work even on Sat and Sun, but she couldn't squeeze the time.


  12. Pausing.


  13. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Do we actually have blind spots?


  14. Act 2


  15. INT. READING AREA, CLUB HOUSE - 21:00


  16. Researching with his smartphone, Peter reads texts.


  17. PETER (V.O.): In a physical sense, blind spots refer to areas in our visual field that aren't registered by the retina.


  18. Reading.


  19. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Every human has two blind spots - one in each eye.


  20. Reading.


  21. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Most people aren't aware of them as the brain fills in the missing information based on the visual context.


  22. Pausing.


  23. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Metaphorically, blind spots are biases, assumptions, or limitations in people's thinking that prevent them from seeing things clearly.


  24. FLASHBACK


  25. INT. HIGH COURT LIBRARY - 10:00 (EARILER TODAY)


  26. Peter is reading a thick book.


  27. PETER (V.O.): I know I don't know much about this non-IP area of the law.


  28. Reading.


  29. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I know I learn fast if there's a real problem I've to resolve.


  30. END FLASHBACK


  31. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): So, that wasn't my blind spot, as I recognized it.


  32. FLASHBACK


  33. INT. CONFERENCE ROOM - 16:00 (EARLIER TODAY)


  34. LADIES and GENTLEMEN. Peter is taking part in a meeting.


  35. PETER (V.O.): Just then, I was talking about due process in the legal sense.


  36. Pausing.


  37. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Then a colleague remarked on the expression in a non-legal sense.


  38. END FLASHBACK


  39. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): That's the colleague's blind spot.


  40. INT. GENT'S TOILET - 17:30


  41. A GENTLEMAN is talking to Peter.


  42. GENTLEMAN: What's the "act" you're referring to earlier?


  43. PETER: "Act" is about taking corrective actions in the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" process...

  44. PETER (V.O.): I'm surprised that he doesn't seem to know.


  45. Pausing.


  46. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Yes, "Plan-Do-Check" is easy to understand, but not the "Act"


  47. END FLASHBACK


  48. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): It was his blind spot. But having addressed it, it isn't anymore.


  49. Pausing.


  50. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I thought this management strategy I've been using was known to all. It's actually my blind spot!


  51. Act 3


  52. INT. BEDROOM - 23:00


  53. Working on his laptop, Peter selects one of his AI drawings.


  54. PETER (V.O.): Humans have strengths, weaknesses and blind spots.


  55. Pausing.


  56. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): That people may not see eye to eye on everything doesn't mean that they can't be close.


  57. Pausing.


  58. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Friends are always connected by heart.


  59. FADE OUT


  60. THE END
