KAJI watches PETER who is focusing on his laptop.
KAJI (V.O.): He has been sitting in that position for a quite a while.
Observing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Apart from sharing breakfast with me this morning, he's been neglecting me.
The PACK LEADER talks to Peter.
PACK LEADER: Today, we must go out with our darling.
PETER: I'm writing a legal opinion.
PACK LEADER: But she'll be staying home while we're touring France, for a fortnight...
KAJI (V.O.): What are they discussing?
Then, having had eye contact with Peter, Kaji looks excited.
Act 2
EXT. THE PEAK - LATE AFTERNOON
Scenic vista. Kaji leads the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.): We've been here not too long ago. I'd know the way.
At a three-way junction, Kaji hesitates.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Left or right?
PACK LEADER: This time, we take the middle one, walking uphill.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No problem.
Taking the uphill road, Kaji continues to lead.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I might have been here a long time ago.
Observing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): There's a garden with green grass.
Peter checks a sign.
.
PETER: Oh, no...Don't bring your pet inside...
KAJI (V.O.): There's a little grass by the roadside...
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I won't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Kaji can't wait to get herself relieved.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's a shame that I don't have good grass to kick.
Having cleared the mess for Kaj, the Pack Leader leads.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I've no preference where to go now.
Kaji turns her head to observe Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Peter is preoccupied and is falling behind.
A little while later, Kaji pauses and turns her head to observe Peter again.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm attentive to Peter's needs. We should stay together.
Kaji waits patiently for Peter to catch up.
Having walked a long way, they see an open garden.
PACK LEADER: I must seize the opportunity to take some snapshots of our darling here.
PETER: But she's visibly tired...
PACK LEADER: I insist. Cheer her up, would you?
Reluctantly, Kai obliges, her tail drooping.
PACK LEADER (Cont'd): Smile...Yes!
KAJI (V.O.): I'm hanging out my tongue, just to cool down.
The Pack Leader continues to take snapshots of Kaji.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Peter knows how I feel and doesn't burden me further.
Pausing.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Love involves a particular combination of understanding and misunderstanding...
Act 3
INT. RESTAURANT, THE PEAK - NIGHT
Kaji is resting by the side of the Pack Leader and Peter.
KAJI (V.O.): I need to balance exercise with rest.
Kaji observes Peter.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): He's still exercising his mind while resting.
Thinking.
KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Anyhow, a day out with my loved ones is my favourite day!
FADE OUT
