INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWST8xd5ONy
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHEYgMsWHB
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8grEi8XdYH
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPjdciUayh
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPxw9YXAQB
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxk1vKSKlL
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlykdc0R7a
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKZXfFlIwD
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaLbFpsSgD
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHcIhMY25w
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ4cmyPXjH
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDobwEs4OP
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH54jnaFTb4
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqzBLSrpkn
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ977PWhOAT6
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4iXXQfT6m
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClQNUZKTbp
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.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNjZ1B3luz
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3jQhC1yM9
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMxV2WZFUg
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9rcOxdOse
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ709hTD8t
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCwj8fsAdc
Silence again.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFL7e3r68T
Josh stares.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhYFOqmZtn
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i4wFBE5ir
Emily gurgles happily.
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXM6NOq6zA
Josh finally opens his mouth—
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVA96Do71H
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV1Q2tsRG3
CUT TO BLACK.
