INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdjtvyI6YU
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLXZMuFHRg
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6vy386zc7
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9hWGA03L1
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYYmRoSDyN
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9PC4ii32t
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXY7KlYsyp
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJUxv9eDQ1
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIswfn6MXjz
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPZrJcy6ul
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRug9eRxcUV
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78iB81gdbj
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuk7umKX90
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ806pfm1diJ
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyP2eklCKGY
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswutNt7z5U
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhCH0sP4Zb
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.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdifQwK9dx
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqyogqGAtp
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sK6Wkfgg7
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSSr6wWD6z
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5szCUpheN
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhdnMt8ZMy
Silence again.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfoCdFyjxG
Josh stares.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROOMzfkneR
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRIxfsr616
Emily gurgles happily.
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMlrtJChfn
Josh finally opens his mouth—
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzesjbV78lb
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
102Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjIFDq51V4
CUT TO BLACK.
