INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
100Please respect copyright.PENANAo3kUay2QO0
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA13EHF8SoHq
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
100Please respect copyright.PENANAHa4LQ9psdB
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
100Please respect copyright.PENANASRsUYo8lpU
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
100Please respect copyright.PENANAaE6vrjpCb1
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAb3rQ6r6q0l
His hand transforms with a smooth click-clack, a built-in grappling hook system snapping into place.
He fires it at the door.
SLAM—locks it tight.
100Please respect copyright.PENANALOjzwHdAWr
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
100Please respect copyright.PENANAzZj14NFZdE
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAyW0JwLs8WL
Violet quietly drags Josh down into a sitting position on the couch, whispering soothing "Shhh, breathe, babe" noises while Josh looks like he's about to either pass out or become a murderer.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAkNPwtvh5vp
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZmlBegja0o
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
100Please respect copyright.PENANAgVStWSvFOe
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAWYHaItQmky
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
100Please respect copyright.PENANATnrTggd21s
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
100Please respect copyright.PENANARlycjLTGr7
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
100Please respect copyright.PENANA89VaFuiKGf
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAKq8LTi5kON
Jason then spills the whole damn story—
From the weird Liberation aftermath, the first encounter with A and K, the chaotic living arrangement, up to now, all in one long, fast, slightly panicked ramble.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAPSrHWamr8g
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
100Please respect copyright.PENANAo95Biy4KN3
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
100Please respect copyright.PENANASGP4QE6Ybr
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4li3sbxPG
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
100Please respect copyright.PENANANpLunbOZsT
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
100Please respect copyright.PENANAi7hHMCpcNz
Silence again.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAv8cUTv2EUL
Josh stares.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAkYAzdtPTSG
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAmZzyviHZf3
Emily gurgles happily.
100Please respect copyright.PENANApQIdfrK2yn
Josh finally opens his mouth—
100Please respect copyright.PENANAQLeoiNR0xF
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
100Please respect copyright.PENANAiSy0LK4FPi
CUT TO BLACK.
