INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9rFpG1nML
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK1PhlMthw
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J2n8aFBT2
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOSTvFNj0M
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rANgITwnW
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tl9auXHNw
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnhvZ5cKLI
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvk3ejKepU
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCne3jv2gb
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwABHVccsQR
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8J0j79RB8
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJEC7NEP0c
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKYYDgDV9h
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SqCdSUGrO
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUWjwgPTSj
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MelBasMCi
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61qRWHniMO
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.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjxcWVugSS
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli22hNh8qW
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiA8c18aze
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoarfdTVSXi
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCVK4MOH9p
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAfSCmlWsb
Silence again.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LmXXDrXLD
Josh stares.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSe3NalVB6
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq3jbrbqNa
Emily gurgles happily.
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4asX5kYwTG
Josh finally opens his mouth—
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUeaqDx5gW
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
73Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nVtmKGOUH
CUT TO BLACK.
