Kaji: Building Trust

  1. FADE IN


  2. Act 1


  3. INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT


  4. KAJI is sitting inside a carrier cot near the front door.


  5. KAJI (V.O.): Every time I'm "flown" up here, we'll go out soon.


  6. Waiting, Kaji watches every move of the PACK LEADER and PETER.


  7. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): They're getting prepared.


  8. EXT. PEDESTRIAN WALKWAY - LATER


  9. Inside the carrier cot, Kaji's eyes scan the surroundings.


  10. KAJI (V.O.): Good, it's a trip to the park, not to my hairdresser.


  11. As the Pack Leader lifts Kaji out of the cot, we hear Peter saying: Fly.


  12. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Flying is very safe.


  13. Having done whole-body shakes on the ground, Kaji leads the way.


  14. Act 2


  15. EXT. CROSSING - LATER


  16. Arriving, we hear Peter saying "Wait!". Kaji slows down her pace.


  17. KAJI (V.O.): Waiting is tough, especially when I see some who can't wait.


  18. They wait with other PEDESTRIANS.


  19. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I always obey Peter's command...


  20. We see cars using the road.


  21. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Not because I've to be obedient but because I trust his judgment.


  22. When the green man appears in the light post, Peter says "Go!".


  23. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I can go now!


  24. Quickly, they cross the crossing with other pedestrians.


  25. EXT. RIVERSIDE PARK - LATER


  26. Serene with greenery. Kaji rushes to her favourite spots.


  27. KAJI (V.O.): I'm never tired with exploring this place.

  28. Having satisfied with one, Kaji gets light.


  29. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): The Pack Leader would follow up.


  30. We see the Pack Leader cleaning up the mess.


  31. PACK LEADER: Do you want to go up to the veranda?


  32. KAJI (V.O.): No, it's tiring to climb the stairs.

  33. Pausing.


  34. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'll take you to where you want to go.


  35. As Kaji begins to walk in the direction of a mall, the Pack Leader blocks her way.


  36. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): You don't want to go there?


  37. Pausing.


  38. KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): You like to buy takeaway drinks there before we go home.


  39. The Pack Leader continues to block Kaji's way.


  40. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): That isn't fair, I'm just acting based on the cues you've given mr in the past.


  41. Pausing.


  42. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): How can I read your mind?


  43. Pausing.


  44. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): If we walk in the opposite direction, it means that we're heading home.


  45. Pausing.


  46. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But we've come out for a short while...


  47. We hear Peter saying "Kai Kai!".


  48. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Ah, that's the cue that we aren't going home yet.


  49. Revitalized, Kaji walks along with the Pack Leader and Peter energetically.


  50. PACK LEADER (to Peter): We'll go home via the estate's back door. See if she'd remember it...


  51. Later, they arrive at the back door and Kaji can't wait to get inside.


  52. Act 3


  53. INT. LIVING ROOM - LATER


  54. Kaji settles down in her comfortable spot.


  55. KAJI (V.O.): Trust starts with truth.


  56. The Pack Leader comes to pat Kaji's head.


  57. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Trust is built in tiny moments every day and night.


  58. Then, Peter gives Kaji a gentle stroke on her back.

  59. KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): Building trust reassures meaningful connections, deeper intimacy.


  60. FADE OUT


  61. THE END
