00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Can we do it? Can we do it? Hurry? Please?

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Now please. Rhett and Henry had just finished dinner and

11
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: their parents had told them after dinner that they would

12
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: be able to go in the backyard and make a

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: little camp fire to cook marshmallows. Who likes roasting marshmallows?

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: Me too? Oh? These were so good. They had got

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: super big marshmallows. Do you know the kind of marshmallows

16
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: that are like really big and you put them on

17
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: a stick and you hold them over a campfire and

18
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: then they get nice and toasted and then you eat

19
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: them up. Oh man, I kind of want them right now. Well,

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: they were very excited. And the first thing that you

21
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: have to do when you want to cook marshmallows, because

22
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: you have to get some sticks in some wood to

23
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: put in the fire. Yeah. Did you know that when

24
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: you're building a campfire, you need some paper, you need

25
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: some sticks and some wood, and you need a grown

26
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: up like your parents to hold the fire the lighter,

27
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: and it's their job to start the fire. But it's

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: our job to collect all the sticks that we can find.

29
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: And so Rhett and Henry, we're both working very hard,

30
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: running all over the yard picking up sticks and pieces

31
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: of wood and putting them in their camp fire spot.

32
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: All right, I think that's enough, let's start it up.

33
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: They turned on the lighter and the fire. Wow, it

34
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: was a perfect camp fire. It was nice and warm.

35
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: It's kind of a cool, chilly night, and so it

36
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: felt good to stand by the campfire. Oh, Henry said,

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 1: I was starting to shiver, but this is so much warmer.

38
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: Who As the camp fire was roasting away, they got

39
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: the marshmallows out and put them on some sticks. Rhett said, Um,

40
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: these these marshmallows feel funny either. Are these different? Yeah, Rhett,

41
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: the I got the is at the store and they

42
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: were on sale. I've never seen them before. They do

43
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: look kind of different, but I bet they taste really good,

44
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: and so as they put them on the stick, they

45
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: started to grow, like while they were roasting them over

46
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: the fire. Do you know how marshmallows kind of like

47
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: get really like bigger and stickier and police marshmallows. Whoa,

48
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: it's that one's look at that one. It's getting huge.

49
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: The one, the marshmallow that was on the end of

50
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: red stick was getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and

51
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: pretty soon it was the size of a basketball. Ha,

52
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: what do we what do we do? Um? I don't know.

53
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: That looks delicious, Henry said, I'm gonna eat it. And

54
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: as Henry went over to take a bite of this

55
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: ginormous marshmallow, boom, it jumped off the stick and bound.

56
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: What it's It looks like it's alive. And then it

57
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: started to rumble and move and two arms just popped

58
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: out of it. Boo and two ft bug ah. What

59
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: in the world is that? I'm the marshmallow Monster and

60
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm here to turn all of those other marshmallows into

61
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: marshmallow robots. Step aside. Oh. He grabbed the bag of

62
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: all the other marshmallows, and as soon as he touched them,

63
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: they all started turning into a little like a little

64
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: marshmallow robots. A rhet couldn't believe what he was seeing. Oh,

65
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: what do we do? What do we do? What do

66
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: we do? And we said, let's all spy kids. Headquarters.

67
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I bet they know headquarters, Headquarters. Come in. This is

68
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 1: headquarters calling retton, Henry. What's going on? Um? Something crazy

69
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: is going on in our backyard. Uh, it's kind of

70
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: it's hard to explain, but basically, harsh smellows are turning

71
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: into robots and they're trying to eat us. Well they weren't,

72
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: they're not trying to eat us yet, but I feel

73
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: like marshmallow robots. That's what they're gonna want to do. Um,

74
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: come again, did you say marshmallow robots? Yes, Henry said,

75
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: they're they're coming alive. The marshmallows are. They have arms

76
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: and legs, and when they touch each other, then they

77
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: turned the other one into a robot. And it's just

78
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: turning into a giant marshmallow robot party in our backyard.

79
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: And we're getting pretty nervous. Okay, well, it sounds like

80
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna need to catch those guys and not let

81
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: them escape, because we do not want another marshmallow robot

82
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: crisis on our hands. Another Yeah, that happened a few

83
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: years ago, but it's been a long time and we

84
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: thought we had dealt with it. So uh yeah, just

85
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: hanging there, Get your nut shooters out, catch them, and

86
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: we'll send a team over to give you some backup support.

87
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: They'll be there in about two hours. Two hours. We

88
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: need backup right now, over and out. Oh no, Red

89
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. My kids backup wasn't gonna be there

90
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: for two hours. And these little marshmallows they were starting

91
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: to run all over the backyard. Uh they were what

92
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: are they doing? Everywhere the marshmallow robots were walking, It

93
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: was leaving behind this trail of why glue like it

94
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: looked like the stickiest glue in the world. Let's let

95
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: me touch it with the stick. Henry grabbed a stick

96
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: and touched Oh no, he couldn't even pull it. As

97
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: soon as the stick touched the glue, he couldn't even

98
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: pull it off. Guys, this is like the world's stickiest glue.

99
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: This is this is not good, not good at all.

100
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's get up in the trees. I don't

101
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: think they can get us up there. Grab your net shooter. Rhet,

102
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: let's go. Rhett and Henry both climbed up the tree

103
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: with their net shooters and started to catch as many

104
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: of the little marshmallow robots as they could find. All right,

105
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I think we got all of them. We can come

106
00:07:53,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: back down. Well, oh, oh no, it's the original marshmallow Monster.

107
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: He's huge. That Marshmallow Monster had not stopped growing the

108
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: last time we saw him. Remember he was about the

109
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: size of a basketball. Well, now he was as big

110
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: as a grown up. Oh no, that looks like the

111
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: most delicious marshmallow I've ever seen. See. Henry still was

112
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: very hungry for marshmallows. That's all you could think about.

113
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: Rhett said, get our extra large net shooter. That should

114
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: stop him. Henry grabbed the big net shooter and handed

115
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: it to Rhet, and Rhet pulled it out and said,

116
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: Marshmallow Monster, you're going down the Spy Kids team. They're

117
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: gonna be here any minute, and you're gonna have a

118
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: big problem when they get here, because there's gonna be

119
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of them. Put your arms up, and

120
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: the Marshmallow Monster said, you can stop me. I am

121
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: gonna cover your entire yard in super glue, and then

122
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: you'll never escape. Just then, Rhet shot the net shooter

123
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: board and trapped the Marshmallow Monster. He did it. Rhet

124
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: and Henry saved the day again. They got all the

125
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: Marshmallow Robots and the Marshmallow Monster who. Now we gotta

126
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: find a way to clean up this giant mess. The

127
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: end
