INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
217Please respect copyright.PENANAs44DeQupC2
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAnHRUZxxDyj
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAo0bdOiVgVJ
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAul2nBSDaVo
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAbGnVJAwFBS
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
217Please respect copyright.PENANADre06X1h0F
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAwvnPY2HwAZ
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAXgBKFX8fYa
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAiC0semLo7S
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAlqzNNVjb4c
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAxLoFSqsLFJ
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
217Please respect copyright.PENANAtdPAjz8PdU
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAl4LKxaec1k
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAnz2ESzpfgs
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAwlyvYlYKIu
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAFNgLM04lEp
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA4F8gOJYLl0
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.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAZCoQc8CfE8
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
217Please respect copyright.PENANANdG2fZXN1e
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA48gdaLEs3g
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAuTkgjWD0K7
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAaa2bBMOfim
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAiBDHflcH6B
Silence again.
217Please respect copyright.PENANA7uAzqm1IRZ
Josh stares.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAhLRaTc7dkB
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAAENXDfwW1n
Emily gurgles happily.
217Please respect copyright.PENANAFen8gKNN67
Josh finally opens his mouth—
217Please respect copyright.PENANA3YOKIjvepF
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
217Please respect copyright.PENANAKdImMahfaM
CUT TO BLACK.
