INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNoOkiyNnb
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpeNaoWSqM
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7YU7nXY30
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIPzxRq9d5
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswatoY6xZB
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf3MfLEtIx
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHXSGhzay
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoNwQzp4uH
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7At8TLvP9
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfFrmqywRR
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtCPxVMdo0
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKUy2ERY1P
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLtxRqIHNI
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNouGv6lH7
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerFvipEVEP
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0pKiIUIGl
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhMXJUyfBu
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt1pW99dty
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VnonetYWB
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrKcWTfyZ7
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXkeWLiADm
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3a41X267B
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbtgaDTYCO
Silence again.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwOVLuwaZz
Josh stares.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62dpGcL233
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ041Q0bhS0x
Emily gurgles happily.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBFrDkNcV6
Josh finally opens his mouth—
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61BB5t8TAB
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThgpE8ED3X
CUT TO BLACK.
