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.
