I'm Spencer. What? The hell you are. What is going on? Huh? I think... we're in the game. - Sorry, excuse me? - What are you talking about? Somehow, I don't know how... I think we got, like, sucked into the game. And we've become the avatars that we chose. So it's me, Spencer, but yet I look and sound... like Dr. Smolder Bravestone.

Sometimes. Wait a second. Where's my phone? [MOSQUITO BUZZES] Aah. Why am I wearing this outfit in a jungle? Tiny, little shorts and a leather halter top. I mean, what is this?

Together? We're all in a coma together? It's the only explanation. That old game machine must have electrocuted us, and now we're... - [HIPPO BELLOWS] - [ALL SCREAM] - MARTHA: Oh, my God, Bethany! - FRIDGE: Oh, my God, oh, my God! MARTHA: Stop it!

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Are you okay? That was so intense. I, like, can't even with this place. - What just happened to you? - I got eaten by a rhino, and then I fell, like, a thousand feet from the sky. Yeah, that's what it looked like. That was a hippo. They're omnivorous. They're fast as a horse over short distances, and they have the bite force of 8100 newtons.
