INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
32Please respect copyright.PENANAUzuzkF7jDW
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAFzC6SOqmQO
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
32Please respect copyright.PENANA0nCcxdwz3w
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAQaQj2dNbI0
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
32Please respect copyright.PENANAs7PuHFpa7D
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
32Please respect copyright.PENANABmACGBP6to
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.
32Please respect copyright.PENANA2JKc2owpCG
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAizBsMxPbQg
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAAQReeLhvjy
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.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAmoaPIqwR4z
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
32Please respect copyright.PENANA2PE1LX5DfC
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
32Please respect copyright.PENANA3bZRvSrv6D
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
32Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jap8jgrAm
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
32Please respect copyright.PENANA5j36CdspeU
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAspzH6iWIBY
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAhHzSZa9Huh
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAsywoWCu1J7
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.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAlHxsUfeAba
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
32Please respect copyright.PENANA0ToEXycmYU
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAsPxsUEr2AL
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
32Please respect copyright.PENANABfTm3ihN4M
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAfGOJQMeFLw
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
32Please respect copyright.PENANAIUvwgYAJaV
Silence again.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAXDg3evL4TF
Josh stares.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAx8l4PpAanM
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAn5gnVpY8lm
Emily gurgles happily.
32Please respect copyright.PENANAOT4rplUE17
Josh finally opens his mouth—
32Please respect copyright.PENANAtuGn8HMYPn
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
32Please respect copyright.PENANApmwLj7llfQ
CUT TO BLACK.
