INT. THE CUBE – MOMENTS LATER
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge1123Hhm5
The cube hangs in thick, suffocating silence.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvTadbAtxq
Josh still stands frozen in disbelief, Violet cradling Emily protectively, her expression a tight mix of "Oh shit" and "This is gonna be hilarious."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ECRH9Gka
Josh finally speaks—his voice trembling somewhere between hysteria and absolute breakdown.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTiFWGaEKA
JOSH (unhinged chuckle)
"Jason Gearman... I need an explanation about your two 'roommates.'"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfiU8KmEji
Jason, without a word, raises his right arm.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs4bsrxxcl
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEDREaxZuq
JASON (monotone, dead inside)
"Everyone sit down.
Nobody panic.
Nobody scream.
Definitely don't call the police."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnE2LH8Olo
He dramatically collapses onto the floor like a broken marionette, groaning into the tiles.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUS8xsSEe7t
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ltePCF8b
Josh points shakily at A and K, laughing in that "I’ve totally lost my mind" kind of way.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4rNc4lYzC
JOSH (cracking up)
"Are these two gentlemen, like,
(laughs louder)
FUCKING PURIFICATION BOTS!!?"
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsaFcmGWv1
A awkwardly shifts his weight, cradling Emily carefully before handing her back to Violet, who accepts her a little too quickly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA9mJyhcxR
K just crosses his arms and raises an eyebrow, clearly thinking, "This is your mess, not mine."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty7dk96ByK
Jason, still face down on the floor, lifts a single hand weakly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyJaBJ79YI
JASON (muffled)
"Technically... yes.
But before you start throwing chairs or call Homeland Defense, lemme explain. Fast."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJpPRI5v36
He pushes himself up, sitting cross-legged on the floor like a guilty kid at detention.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0vCBXpHD7
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.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhlAxP6edY
Josh's expression shifts from "betrayed civilian" to "glitching Windows XP error."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzTYDff8QC
Violet?
Violet just looks thrilled.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOsAcotWkW
She grins wider with every sentence Jason spits out, sipping her coffee like this is better than any soap opera she's ever seen.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOYbA0wSvi
As Jason finishes his desperate monologue, he looks up at them with an exhausted, pleading expression.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xUbjX1fq
JASON (hoarse whisper)
"...And that's why I kinda, sorta, accidentally, maybe… adopted two murder machines as roommates."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTInIhcU1SS
Silence again.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjrsA0Rawj
Josh stares.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BfnoZT7PA
Violet takes another sip of coffee.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFyvoRRiB6
Emily gurgles happily.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iCeXGxQnP
Josh finally opens his mouth—
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg3inhNbqs
JOSH (dead serious)
"I am going to have a stroke."
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllWwk0ZKCg
CUT TO BLACK.
