INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcoL2fS9Ja
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqokOqWhC9
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQMQYA8o55
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13X4vtwXuR
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49XztVYRNg
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPkfymyEWH
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9znZbGyHj
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw2q7pNDrY
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDBvZAkAf0
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMVjMaIUYr
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVwNG7xdZq
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs6jeiDH0N
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnojSS5tfZd
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM74Wp2quBN
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFky4XwJGc
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl246FhZBJ
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ895JsXXMlY
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.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFJiHs1uGu
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbwXjTdoWi
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzeLOzmYBR
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gjDJbrrEQ
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjda2lPxPNV
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5GeS0ecNv
Silence again.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRoebnMnNx
Josh stares.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8dBRE5NhJ
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAgKdEcDJD
Emily gurgles happily.
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AUbOjXLNC
Josh finally opens his mouth—
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxVuyhRLY
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
23Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcWyN5guAU
CUT TO BLACK.
