INT. JASON’S CUBE – FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)
94Please respect copyright.PENANAwpoAEMynz6
The crate‑table is now cluttered with three bowls of chili‑oil stew, half‑empty drink canisters, and the UNO deck ready for battle. The spoon‑king—one googly eye, one duct‑taped—presides from a shelf.

Jason slurps a spoonful, sighs like a rebooted fan.

JASON
“Spicy but edible. A miracle. All right, new tradition—post‑seminar rant followed by game night. A, deal.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAyQz7DazOQB
SD‑A shuffles cards with exaggerated flair, trench‑coat sleeves flapping.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAIIfqR4dbEi
SD‑A
“Prepare to face my rainbow of doom!”
94Please respect copyright.PENANALm6JQv7Iag
He deals. SD‑K, sunglasses propped on his head, flicks a card aside.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAM053tf750B
SD‑K
“Rainbow beats nothing. Statistics favour me.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAZlAsrSk70m
JASON
“Statistics don’t account for wild cards—and cheating.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAK3mYZRTHgG
Round one: A slams a Draw‑Four; K growls; Jason laughs until the chili hits wrong and he coughs.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAtPx4VlhREZ
A second later Jason’s texter beeps—Commander Nine‑2’s broadcast:

> “Reminder: supplemental loyalty survey due Monday.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAAKXnSZKap8

94Please respect copyright.PENANAFn27gRx5oZ
Jason snoozes it without a glance.
94Please respect copyright.PENANABjfaxaz3GC
JASON
“Not thinking about work. Focus: destroying your egos.”

RAPID‑FIRE MONTAGE
94Please respect copyright.PENANAhPq8CS7scg
Draw Two avalanche: K forces Jason to pick up eight cards; Jason swears creatively, A giggles.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAPGQJXflQgo
Trench‑coat victory dance: A wins a round, spinning on skates; spoon‑king nearly topples.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAZFiuUFrziX
Chili‑refill pit stop: K ladles more stew, muttering, “Fuel for statistically inevitable revenge.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANA3LAz3I012L
Jason’s comeback: He chains a Skip‑Reverse‑Wild, slaps the table—“UNO, baby!”—only for A to hurl a sneaky Draw‑Two.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAK2lCoVmbnl
Laughter echoes against concrete walls.

LATE NIGHT
94Please respect copyright.PENANAmW447UK6Oa
Cards abandoned, the three lounge in mismatched seats.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAGOQW76Zqh5
JASON (lean back, relaxed)
“So, highlight of the week?”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAKlkSFejazs
SD‑A
“Barrel‑roll at sunrise.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANA37FAXuz469
SD‑K
“Finding functional clothing.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAkEi7AvVpJt
JASON
“Not dying in seminar. Close race though.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAGbaOe1IxKE
A gentle beep from the power grid; city curfew power‑dip. Lights dim to night mode—soft blue.
94Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yn4FQtAaD
Jason stands, stretches.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAMcgwecd389
JASON
“Charge‑cycle time. Tomorrow’s patrol’s at dawn. No midnight welding, no toaster duels.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAh1MX057Rtb
SD‑K
“Counter‑proposal: midnight probability calculations.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAQGAEMYMBoc
JASON
“Do them silently.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAiYEAKMbaOx
A crawls onto the bed corner, trench‑coat blanket style. K resumes his ceiling hang (now with leather jacket). Jason sighs amused, flops onto his half of the mattress.
94Please respect copyright.PENANASHz7fOCvYE
JASON (soft)
“Good chaos, guys. Night.”
94Please respect copyright.PENANAT0LRok3X4l
The spoon‑king watches in crooked silence as the cube powers down—one by one, visors dim, but a quiet contentment lingers.
94Please respect copyright.PENANAmSny09Hp7s
FADE OUT.
