  8. Kaji checks the two bed quilts.


  9. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They're placed all over the bed.


  10. Pausing.


  11. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Our maid hasn't made the bed.


  12. Pausing.

  15. INT. BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS


  16. Kaji inspects the bed again.


  17. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Let me do my bedtime rituals.


  18. Kaji turns in circles a few times.


  19. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Which quilt should I choose? They both look fine.


  20. Thinking.


  21. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Let me take both then.


  22. Kaji then scratches both quilts.


  23. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I don't know why I love doing that now.


  24. Kaji digs the quilts.


  25. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Was today too boring and I need a new game?


  26. Kaji repeats a few times.


  27. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Or my natural instinct has suddenly risen like a flame?


  28. Pausing.


  29. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Anyway, I just want a comfortable bed spot.


  30. Kaji continues scratching and digging the quilts.


  31. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I want to create a shallow hole.


  32. Kaji doesn't see any hole in the quilts.


  33. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Why can't I make a hole?


  34. FLASHBACK


  35. INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY (EARLIER)

  37. KAJI (V.O.): I feel itchy in one ear.


  38. Repeating.


  39. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The itch hasn't gone. Why?


  40. Kaji checks her nails.


  41. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, they aren't sharp enough.


  42. Recalling.


  43. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They've been trimmed by those working in the torture chambers.


  44. Coming to Kaji's rescue, Peter scratches Kaji's itchy ear with his finger nails.


  45. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, he gets my cue.


  46. As Peter is serving her, Kaji stays put.


  47. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): it's so comfortable.


  48. END FLASHBACK


  49. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): As the present spot looks reasonably snuggly, I'd better stop.

  54. Kaji feels that Peter is watching her with a device.


  55. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They're also the best cure in anything.


  56. Kaji closes her eyes.


  57. KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): A tired mind doesn't plan well, I sleep first and plan later.
