INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
79Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rG56nUe6
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAIsFtoCJPZq
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA4HoidcwnuC
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
79Please respect copyright.PENANASGaVqILYoO
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAp1zrCoCmbE
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAD0NCSePao1
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA5WASdOVwTi
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAyfQlFQg5CV
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAGDPR6rZr0h
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA1OCYrJFsQw
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA71dIRk3yhW
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
79Please respect copyright.PENANAOrPMLXgdKh
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA2JoMlLKA3g
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAKqgdsrSrDr
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAlu9GQYQppr
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAt5DkFORXWE
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
79Please respect copyright.PENANACdPeax1fXY
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.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAyz1mEm0AYf
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
79Please respect copyright.PENANA8vcrVtsmcJ
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAppshr229Wz
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAm2Efc6p7fL
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAnC6375HYT5
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
79Please respect copyright.PENANATZfyNbK4m2
Silence again.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAyYdRYw4dfO
Josh stares.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAJePPOYpVSf
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAik8eAOzjn3
Emily gurgles happily.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA7v2Xb25rq4
Josh finally opens his mouth—
79Please respect copyright.PENANA0Es7cS2ngm
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
79Please respect copyright.PENANAh17rwZJPrx
CUT TO BLACK.
