INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
13Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ezKH88Ek
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAEmOtUtNUGh
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAu4CYH9yFTJ
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
13Please respect copyright.PENANADFcYb5kCc3
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
13Please respect copyright.PENANAj8MZ8uLHHL
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAQU0OeADPnD
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.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAA8vvOmZyuU
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAGF6dNzZBq2
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAdccXxif6YG
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.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA87ovxWJ66e
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
13Please respect copyright.PENANALb6qlsGjtn
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
13Please respect copyright.PENANAhwpl1xeNDa
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAYZfqLHEn5p
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAlo0sHEaXSz
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAl0eDrv8D2b
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAoayTClh2Zz
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAB7clmXb9td
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.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAFRopZ8kln5
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
13Please respect copyright.PENANA1SXlYRY4f8
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAqq6P6bnZoz
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAlwnuygmnDy
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
13Please respect copyright.PENANA4pZFaAFjBk
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAaQdfCK97sW
Silence again.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAXnkKSSysvL
Josh stares.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAy3cWGGVwGl
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAol7lgvR0rB
Emily gurgles happily.
13Please respect copyright.PENANAMKMagRNOBp
Josh finally opens his mouth—
13Please respect copyright.PENANAxCZg2Rumt9
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
13Please respect copyright.PENANAHUXIbvg9Qq
CUT TO BLACK.
