INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
101Please respect copyright.PENANAWhGdAjZIpU
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAi3dV6wYQfw
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
101Please respect copyright.PENANARRlNoPQGEB
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXSHnOeqBUf
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGr3bbjFelE
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVRbfWMUU8S
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.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAz8buIbJxFd
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMr7tCYqLll
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
101Please respect copyright.PENANACcG2HI1qJ6
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.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJrnH1w0HM3
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAHQZvGTEsHJ
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJRWbwdMXTC
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlXgssjEqpd
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAkpgbjgCSey
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7RvP5oPiV8
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgKgotGwiPG
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAamh1Rz5mlX
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.
101Please respect copyright.PENANArEISy1MIHq
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
101Please respect copyright.PENANARbY0Bku7PX
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
101Please respect copyright.PENANATiMv6SlaXS
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhlH4SzXWiF
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAy9gKBdgEgh
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
101Please respect copyright.PENANAB3l5Y25ZkU
Silence again.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYFCoRjNQMJ
Josh stares.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAzcXLRfWau4
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAktQIxwuvX4
Emily gurgles happily.
101Please respect copyright.PENANABEjtMjXKSc
Josh finally opens his mouth—
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXvgOX50I1N
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
101Please respect copyright.PENANARhK74dbQN7
CUT TO BLACK.
