INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlYl7OqR6vs
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAHxNc5gllpz
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
54Please respect copyright.PENANA9f3x5TwWum
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
54Please respect copyright.PENANA95z1y38FY1
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQu59mjaA6M
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAVQKwk0jWqo
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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAMAroo5JCxq
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAfKBBE1XBT9
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAFVfiZZVxC3
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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAF52KMw6OfR
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAsL9U4cfsXR
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
54Please respect copyright.PENANAwYNw181uJn
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAIlm9HVaYg3
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAPKHXpeKcWS
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdSfEsf5QsM
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAeh7qpyrbBL
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAX9rzAifffF
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.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAfbMavAtvau
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmZrxWVtDfE
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdY9uDtsjRF
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
54Please respect copyright.PENANApRyKHHKhfE
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlGl0RYeVZP
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkUdOVIBJ9K
Silence again.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiw7xev6jHJ
Josh stares.
54Please respect copyright.PENANArFDBuRpdV2
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
54Please respect copyright.PENANApvlZNTNTiW
Emily gurgles happily.
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQOAkuMNe3X
Josh finally opens his mouth—
54Please respect copyright.PENANAi7mCMqJ0dD
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
54Please respect copyright.PENANAEtotw6Hbf1
CUT TO BLACK.
