INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQ5z52K3aW
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwThCjUtvYy
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jV73bGLjM
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMWmZYOQe
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfzJBOM1SR
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3sMXwrxjR
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ018P3tmgr
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJwtT4aA8Y
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETQyP9uYvD
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWtUPfaA86
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtEwGNjyVi
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRLREXlFsn
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrZP1QnD7H
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe2EuNIZgk
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0uCAFCW9x
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdadgCvzH1
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3duvvlCeEN
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmnunK5QQA
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUrnY8cnUk
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpT5Kt1sZy
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JeaQKn1f4
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lDL1I25nz
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbFyduAdLD
Silence again.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFvOVpJ7JN
Josh stares.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80tUcV6Oci
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PX0kqroqd
Emily gurgles happily.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90n3lxfiZD
Josh finally opens his mouth—
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhapixBX5d
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhY0ar5c9N
CUT TO BLACK.
