INT. JASON’S CUBE – FRIDAY NIGHT (CONTINUOUS)
28Please respect copyright.PENANANQPcGJoe3b
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.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAyuuj3CbRaz
Jason slurps a spoonful, sighs like a rebooted fan.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7yF3J6dzjM
JASON
“Spicy but edible. A miracle. All right, new tradition—post‑seminar rant followed by game night. A, deal.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAW5zFKcEUtB
SD‑A shuffles cards with exaggerated flair, trench‑coat sleeves flapping.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAavLoITXPVB
SD‑A
“Prepare to face my rainbow of doom!”
28Please respect copyright.PENANABWRwfhjJ7c
He deals. SD‑K, sunglasses propped on his head, flicks a card aside.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAP3skhopA2O
SD‑K
“Rainbow beats nothing. Statistics favour me.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAIBEkGW4o5x
JASON
“Statistics don’t account for wild cards—and cheating.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAPY91HM3WSV
Round one: A slams a Draw‑Four; K growls; Jason laughs until the chili hits wrong and he coughs.
28Please respect copyright.PENANABQF34eJi3n
A second later Jason’s texter beeps—Commander Nine‑2’s broadcast:
28Please respect copyright.PENANAihHcIts953
> “Reminder: supplemental loyalty survey due Monday.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANA6isJQhqaGL
28Please respect copyright.PENANAuE3tDWpOj6
28Please respect copyright.PENANAN3pUOpNVdf
Jason snoozes it without a glance.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAo5U31fXPpb
JASON
“Not thinking about work. Focus: destroying your egos.”

RAPID‑FIRE MONTAGE
28Please respect copyright.PENANArHeTO6bqPS
Draw Two avalanche: K forces Jason to pick up eight cards; Jason swears creatively, A giggles.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA28XEuUQlj5
Trench‑coat victory dance: A wins a round, spinning on skates; spoon‑king nearly topples.
28Please respect copyright.PENANACFr4RcKWJg
Chili‑refill pit stop: K ladles more stew, muttering, “Fuel for statistically inevitable revenge.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANA67MQlUrfvH
Jason’s comeback: He chains a Skip‑Reverse‑Wild, slaps the table—“UNO, baby!”—only for A to hurl a sneaky Draw‑Two.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAE8om844IeB
Laughter echoes against concrete walls.

LATE NIGHT
28Please respect copyright.PENANApofsXeUl5D
Cards abandoned, the three lounge in mismatched seats.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOQ2iyfTBLL
JASON (lean back, relaxed)
“So, highlight of the week?”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAJAyEqQHPoh
SD‑A
“Barrel‑roll at sunrise.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAlL4SlONdCU
SD‑K
“Finding functional clothing.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAElCYkt9jSS
JASON
“Not dying in seminar. Close race though.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAfed2IKEM4o
A gentle beep from the power grid; city curfew power‑dip. Lights dim to night mode—soft blue.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAdPQIsHlQZv
Jason stands, stretches.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAShJVwJCUmT
JASON
“Charge‑cycle time. Tomorrow’s patrol’s at dawn. No midnight welding, no toaster duels.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAbDdRvRYAH8
SD‑K
“Counter‑proposal: midnight probability calculations.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANA7wL0FBVJ58
JASON
“Do them silently.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAJkFKv0FTq1
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.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAs3eIYmGy4s
JASON (soft)
“Good chaos, guys. Night.”
28Please respect copyright.PENANAhIJa20swjS
The spoon‑king watches in crooked silence as the cube powers down—one by one, visors dim, but a quiet contentment lingers.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAEL2i7G5vU7
FADE OUT.
