INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbA8ipauaF
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU35VCCTF6
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIVl9iTUwh
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwtMm5ACBu
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcJHWM1d8k
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk7TaTDTnz
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SEeXG3wUD
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrriOjnGbO
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz4J4ghNSs
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgW7oS6cnf
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiqc2rC7AG
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIM16tCnes
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVhwjjwZo0
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKax2qrGgHG
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ4A2VBCOI
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D1LgFnk93
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1mUoK7A83
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.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNOE5kCjOc
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijpdSN80FR
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV1hfteICQ
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj00z8pyUwj
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbNPxKy5ae
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42RuiUZskP
Silence again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcizUi2M23
Josh stares.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa9aG49btc
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIpHmjBmWG
Emily gurgles happily.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWQpwKnkIa
Josh finally opens his mouth—
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETOcqsvHuC
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtUWw32Lnc
CUT TO BLACK.
