INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
140Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ow0CIZIcF
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAk3i7V6oqe7
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAJaweECbJQi
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAAln2QuMLvn
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
140Please respect copyright.PENANAv3UkleFiDj
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAzZPo7HiUP7
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.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAIyCDyepc2h
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAI6XtMj6Ysx
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
140Please respect copyright.PENANACKz7fG4VQD
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.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAU5epyldbH9
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAKrNPyfExHX
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
140Please respect copyright.PENANAOWrvJ1XyeJ
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAB4Un3DYLor
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAhkQIXCq4Dg
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAdyyPq5E7C9
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
140Please respect copyright.PENANA1S3RGW0fyB
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAbXbijCKZun
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.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAKCYmOGJHS7
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
140Please respect copyright.PENANA7w5l7OD37c
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAqyLGyUhpVI
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAMf7Nm7Y3nZ
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAPPkMXvkqSU
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
140Please respect copyright.PENANA17Ze4Djn36
Silence again.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAJNb9nuYt4u
Josh stares.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAQWYXVpdbDT
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAdpkrxk549X
Emily gurgles happily.
140Please respect copyright.PENANAeXi2d0Oal4
Josh finally opens his mouth—
140Please respect copyright.PENANA6j1npNlTR0
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
140Please respect copyright.PENANAVYKj2VCJh7
CUT TO BLACK.
