INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8K9l6tEzRr
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMEzYqRGVu
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ljDv0cRnB
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysYGOjjPpU
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pMWKmSqxU
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTvV1LDKKy
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS71VMPobRP
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlG7KsTJnS
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtocHRAMXY
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbaq3vWcGs
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE39sVvo7l8
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWrGf5eTb0
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJRLO6v1rX
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqDSpYd6Gu
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QE7aIYpfv
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8olKIWRCP
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnnyKYrTp9
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.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64faFSDAwr
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkV5cyKQ2t
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugQJadqUXm
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu1AQgxXnH
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgHJfGY0Nq
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtscI0uWA4
Silence again.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsrEvmuYp2
Josh stares.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJHmRdJNEJ
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlceczawdA
Emily gurgles happily.
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq58pmIHPuH
Josh finally opens his mouth—
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BpyKIdESL
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
66Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy41Z9glRP
CUT TO BLACK.
