INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz3IsdaeBj
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6px0nr5rb1
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3nP22DtS8
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA3uVS9iLt
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnz949LiTL
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH49JjcAEGM
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy5rinRy4J
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwIvwAFU7g
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppaaVtAxE7
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXKN8V40fj
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GONVkC2dT
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYjytEK1At
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlspd3BMUV
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0euHLRN8U7
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic88V2VXB2
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44sCQuXrMb
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajmISg1a03
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.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bj7H74Ony
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77idgae15s
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ668zFi5lXv
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85Xa6vA7Y
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYRabfgW2K
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKPcdM5qTL
Silence again.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUZNPLTaQc
Josh stares.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qKP1p2eM6
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcllV4GlqB
Emily gurgles happily.
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK92qXfdGS
Josh finally opens his mouth—
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JZ3IAuIUC
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
60Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbL8SJnL48
CUT TO BLACK.
