INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINEisoHXFf
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4VFMyCExN
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VyW58PjPL
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu02ozeJpU
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP8ZWExXn6
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7W61L6AEP
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI3OaVSSqi
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s8Dp3ZCOF
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CF9cJ82Yc
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQOMlgFJQV
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3RDuDuDvE
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvkvzGcncR
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYnTeQzCrE
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTes8hGwz2l
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk0sClcvS8
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV45eMVSbv2
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iYFHOgHzR
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCRLZMTOyk
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSILn6Uvar
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBkDfeXQRM
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjOXJ11roo
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Otpxo21Y
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdH7ifCtbQ
Silence again.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWt6fYuVSS
Josh stares.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6quLgw41SI
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8IwuUXEho
Emily gurgles happily.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gTeYq2jZF
Josh finally opens his mouth—
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFiUqrIbFN
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I6qJvn2uU
CUT TO BLACK.
