Kaji: Safe Haven

  1. FADE IN


  2. Act 1


  3. INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY


  4. Resting on a sofa, KAJI, a light brown shiba inu with round eyes, is observing PETER.


  5. KAJI (V.O.): What is he after? I'm here.


  6. We see Peter staring at a turtle's house at a cosy corner.


  7. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I hear some occasional sounds coming from there.


  8. Pausing.


  9. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But I won't bother as there isn't my territory.


  10. Opening a lid of the house, Peter picks up a turtle and says: Fly...


  11. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Fly? I can fly too.


  12. Holding the turtle in his hands, Peter tries to get Kaji's attention.


  13. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's your turtle friend...


  14. Act 2


  15. INT. LIVING ROOM - CONTINUOUS


  16. Kaji sniffs the air.


  17. KAJI (V.O.): My friend? I haven't had close encounters with it.


  18. Kaji takes a step back.


  19. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): I need to protect myself.


  20. Peter puts the turtle inside a transparent plastic tank.


  21. PETER (Cont'd): Come closer to have a good look.


  22. Kaji studies the turtle cautiously.


  23. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Small eyes, small nose, small mouth....


  24. Investigating.


  25. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It doesn't have any fur at all!


  26. Pausing.


  27. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No paws either.


  28. Investigating.


  29. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No whiskers too.


  30. Pausing.


  31. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): No idea whether it's a male or female.


  32. Kaji looks very curious.


  33. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): But it carries an oversized oval-shaped case on its back!


  34. Pausing.


  35. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It looks tough to carry it.


  36. Investigating.


  37. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Why doesn't it let go of the case?


  38. Pausing.


  39. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): What is the case for?


  40. Investigating.


  41. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's pretty quiet too.


  42. Pausing.


  43. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Is it dumb?


  44. The turtle then uses its powerful jaws to push the tank, generating squeaking sounds.


  45. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh no!


  46. Retreating abruptly, Kaji hides under the dinner table.


  47. PETER: Come on!


  48. Kaji goes to pat Kaji's head.


  49. KAJI (V.O.): What if it's a violent charge from a predator?


  50. Kaji remains stay put.


  51. Act 3


  52. INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT


  53. Resting on a sofa, Kaji takes a look of the turtle's house.


  54. KAJI (V.O.): My protective instinct against the turtle is natural.


  55. Pausing.


  56. KAJI (V.O.) (Cont'd): Crucial for my comfort and well-being is space and privacy.


  57. Thinking.


  58. KAJI (V.O.)(Cont'd): I've discovered that hiding under the table isn't a safe haven, but having a turtle's case on my back is!


  59. FADE OUT


  60. THE END
