INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
36Please respect copyright.PENANAGVD1NW2ngy
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAESvIEEleBB
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVHdbpXer7t
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAsgP4bpCJP0
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
36Please respect copyright.PENANADREBTvCtUQ
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
36Please respect copyright.PENANASqaMRRrXJn
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.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANJYnhr5r26
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA2WZU1ZeACG
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAkNf3mYW9yu
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.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9esOJd6N9y
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgsAEMKvyZG
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
36Please respect copyright.PENANA77VhgOOjif
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
36Please respect copyright.PENANANRS1yfkVjn
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAyTlbDn8UuC
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAuLYhfWj9eL
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
36Please respect copyright.PENANA71waJSpuB7
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAxQM7uerAbL
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.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAILCDDOK9mI
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
36Please respect copyright.PENANADdnnxtg5aT
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAWimfGQmwE8
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAqX3ljyEjai
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
36Please respect copyright.PENANATYV6MdCxJ9
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAMULqmsb4B3
Silence again.
36Please respect copyright.PENANA0Qi3t5KXq3
Josh stares.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAUkyDABrGGN
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAJX6BxK7Z16
Emily gurgles happily.
36Please respect copyright.PENANAgRfzbbHzsl
Josh finally opens his mouth—
36Please respect copyright.PENANA9dNxjBKHdr
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
36Please respect copyright.PENANAEBfGtm4Xz2
CUT TO BLACK.
