FADE TO: CLOSE UP OF PLEASURE CRAFT WITH LARGE JAGGED HOLES IN THE HULL. CUT TO: CLOSE UP - SKIPPER The skipper is sitting up with a confused expression on his face. CUT TO: EXTERNAL CABIN AREA OF BOAT He gets up and does a quick look around. There are several other people seen asleep in the stern as he jumps off the boat and onto the beach. CUT TO: EXT – BEACH – MORNING – MEDIUM SHOT As he is at the stern of the boat he raps on the foot of his first mate Gilligan who is still asleep. We follow the captain of the stricken vessel as he surveys the beach and surrounding area. SKIPPER Hey Gilligan. (pause) Gilligan! CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT Gilligan hears his name and wakes up. Not knowing he's on land, assumes the skipper has fallen overboard and reacts. GILLIGAN Oh my gosh! Man overboard! He gets up and decides to save the skipper. CUT TO: BEACH – SKYWARD SHOT – REAR OF BOAT GILLIGAN I'll save you skipper!! Gilligan hurls himself off the rear of the boat and thinks he's diving into the ocean. He hits the sandy beach instead. CUT TO: BEACH – CLOSE UP – GILLIGAN Gilligan is laying face down in the sand. He raises his head enough to spit out the sand and see the skipper kneeling next to him. SKIPPER Gilligan, the Minnow's been beached! GILLIGAN Beached!? When the storm was over and it was calm you said we'd be home in no time! SKIPPER It may take longer. GILLIGAN But when the passengers wake up and want to get off at the marina, what are gonna tell'em? SKIPPER I'll think of something. GILLIGAN How are we gonna get home!? CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BOAT WITH JAGGED HOLES GILLIGAN (O.S.) Look at those holes! CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT The skipper hearing enough whining from Gilligan gives him a dirty look. GILLIGAN No skipper, I'm very happy to be here. I'm so happy I could kiss the ground! Gilligan does just that and kisses the beach. He gets a mouth full of sand in the process. GILLIGAN This island tastes terrible. FADE TO: EXT – BEACH – DAY – LATER CLOSE UP OF RADIO All the passengers and crew of the Minnow have been wakened and are now seated on various items listening to the radio.

That's the best part! I mean really! FADE OUT ACT ONE FADE IN STOCK SHOT OF OCEAN/BEACH/PALM TREES FADE TO: EXT – LAGOON BEACH – DAY Gilligan is seen working at the lagoon's north beach. Strewn about him is what appears to be a raft he's been working. He seems quite pleased with himself and is jumping up and down. GILLIGAN Skipper! Hey Skipper! I finished it! I finished it! The skipper walks on camera in response to Gilligan. SKIPPER Oh that's great! I knew you could do it Gilligan! I'm real proud of my little buddy! The skipper looks around and see the unfinished raft. SKIPPER Wait a minute. Do you call that finished!? GILLIGAN Not the raft, the sign! We see a sign that reads "Gilligan raft maker" GILLIGAN It's a beauty isn't it!? SKIPPER Yes Gilligan, but we can't sail a sign. Now start lashing those poles together with that vine! GILLIGAN Aye, aye, sir. Gilligan turns to start working on the raft. The professor walks on camera to address the skipper. PROFESSOR (O.S.) Skipper. The professor walks on camera. PROFESSOR Skipper you and Gilligan have got to give up this crazy scheme. SKIPPER Professor there is nothing crazy about trying to reach civilization in order to bring back help. PROFESSOR On the type of raft your building it's scientifically impossible, you haven't got a chance. GILLIGAN We haven't? PROFESSOR Absolutely not. Gilligan stops working and is about to toss a large bamboo pole he's carrying after hearing that. SKIPPER (STERNLY) Gilligan. Gilligan goes back to work. PROFESSOR With out the proper materials you can't possible survive the wind the waves the coral reefs, not to mention the sharks. Gilligan once again is about to toss the bamboo pole after hearing the professor. SKIPPER (STERNLY) Gilligan. Gilligan goes back to work. PROFESSOR The entire adventure is suicidal. Gilligan stops work completely after hearing that and throws down the bamboo pole and tears down his sign. SKIPPER Get back here! The skipper grabs Gilligan by the arm and drags him back. GILLIGAN Skipper, maybe the professor's right. Maybe he got something there. I mean this is a nice little island, why don't we stick around for a little while. SKIPPER Start tying! CUT TO: CLOSE UP MARY ANN AND GINGER NEAR LAGOON Mary Ann and Ginger are sitting sewing a sail for the raft. MARY ANN It's the most wonderful thing I've ever heard of Ginger. Gilligan and the skipper risking everything! Braving those stormy seas and fighting off the attack of savages! GINGER Reminds me of a trip I once took to Catalina on a movie producers yacht. Gilligan walks on camera to where Mary Ann and Ginger are. GILLIGAN Hi girls! How you coming along with the sail? GINGER Great! MARY ANN Oh it's almost finished! Mary Ann holds up the sail for Gilligan to see that it's made from bits and pieces including socks. GILLIGAN Hey those look like my socks in there! GINGER They are! GILLIGAN Oh. MARY ANN Thanks for the contribution it's just what we needed to finish the sail. Mary Ann looks at the sail and deems it complete. MARY ANN Well, that does it! GILLIGAN OK, I'll take it down to the raft. GINGER Wait! GILLIGAN Huh. GINGER Don't you want to read the sail!? GILLIGAN Read the sail? MARY ANN Oh it was Gingers idea! Look what she wrote on the front! Gilligan is standing behind the sail and is looking down at it from above. The sail has the letters S.O.S. spelled out with socks. Gilligan reads the sail out loud. GILLIGAN Sos? MARY ANN S O S. GILLIGAN Oh yeah I read it upside down. GINGER On the other side we wanted to write please hurry, but we ran out of socks. FLIP TO: EXT – LAGOON – DAY - LATER The skipper and Gilligan are still working on the raft. Gilligan is using a brush made from bamboo and palm fronds to apply something to the raft. The skipper, with his back to Gilligan is working on another part of the raft. SKIPPER Before you put that shellac on, make sure that mast is secure. GILLIGAN Oh the mast is strong enough to hold the sail. SKIPPER Gilligan, it might have to hold us if we run into a storm out there! Oh never mind I'll check it myself! The skipper tugs on the ropes securing the mast and appears pleased. SKIPPER Not bad! Not bad at all! Gilligan your doing a… The skipper turns around and see Gilligan eating the shellac. SKIPPER …good…job. What are you doing with that? GILLIGAN Oh the professor made the shellac out of coconut sap and sugar. You want some? SKIPPER NO! Now finish up that job! Gilligan starts to eat the shellac again. SKIPPER And stop eating that shellac! The skipper turns without looking and gets tangled in the ropes securing the mast and trips, yelling as he goes. GILLIGAN Watch the rope skipper! The skipper regains his balance and give Gilligan a dirty look. SKIPPER (SARCASTICALLY) Thanks a lot Gilligan. GILLIGAN Skipper? SKIPPER What. GILLIGAN This'd be great frozen! A shellac-cicle! SKIPPER Where is the putty the professor made? GILLIGAN Oh the putty is delicious skipper! He made it out of crushed Mangos and berry seeds Mmmmmmp! SKIPPER Gilligan, can I make you understand this! We are not going out there for a joy ride! It might get pretty rough out there! PROFESSOR (O.S.) Skipper!? The professor walks on camera carrying some native artifacts including a necklace and a ceremonial mask. SKIPPER What is it professor? PROFESSOR Skipper look at these I found in one of the caves. SKIPPER Uh oh! Gilligan do you know what these are? GILLIGAN No, but if they taste as good as the putty I'll have them for desert. Gilligan reaches out to touch the necklace and the skipper slaps his hand. SKIPPER Looks like a native arrow head to me. PROFESSOR Look at this ceremonial mask. It looks very much like the work of the savage Marubi tribe. SKIPPER Oh professor we have been all over this island, there are no natives on it! Now what is it your driving at? PROFESSOR First the Marubi still exist as a tribe. Second they may very well be on one of the nearby islands. Third, you and your raft might land on one of those islands. GILLIGAN Fourth, maybe we shouldn't go. SKIPPER Gilligan it is our duty. When this raft is ready, we are going to shove off. GILLIGAN (RELUCTANTLY) Aye, aye, sir. The skipper walks off camera, leaving Gilligan and the professor. GILLIGAN Professor? Those savage Marubies, what do they do? PROFESSOR They're collectors Gilligan. GILLIGAN Oh that doesn't sound too bad. What do they collect? PROFESSOR Heads. The professor starts to walk off camera as he responds. Gilligan reacts with surprise. GILLIGAN (HIGH PITCHED) Heads? FLIP TO: EXT – LAGOON BEACH – DAY The skipper is working away as Mr. And Mrs. Howell approach. MR HOWELL Oh skipper. Ah…here's that list of things I want you to do the moment your raft docks. SKIPPER I'll get to 'em just as soon as I can Mr. Howell. MR HOWELL Yes I think you'll find the list self explanatory. These are the names of the stocks you see. The letter S opposite means sell, B means buy, M means merge and H means…wonder what H means? MRS HOWELL H is for Howell dear, it's your note paper. MR HOWELL Ah yes yes of course, H that's me! You too. SKIPPER You folks don't understand. We'll be kept busy when we land just arranging a rescue party. MRS HOWELL Oh, captain, speaking of parties, would you please get in touch with Mrs. Vanhampton? You see Mr. Howell and I promised to attend her party, and we weren't able to, what with getting ship wrecked and everything. SKIPPER Well I'm sorry folks but I can't worry about the stock market and parties. We've got a lot of things to do FIRST! MR HOWELL Lovey, there's only one way to protect our interests. I will have to go along on the raft. Ah Gilligan, bring my luggage. GILLIGAN Yes sir. SKIPPER Never mind Gilligan! Just keep loading the supplies on board. Gilligan Yes sir. SKIPPER Mr. Howell, you don't know what it's like out there on the ocean. You may be bitten by a shark! MR HOWELL A shark bite a Howell!? Heh…heh he wouldn't dare! SKIPPER Well besides, we haven't got room enough for your luggage! MR HOWELL Oh well that's different. If I can't go first class, I won't go at all! Come along Lovey. Even tourist is crowded! SKIPPER Well folks, looks like Gilligan and I are ready to shove off! MARY ANN AND GINGER Wait a minute! MARY ANN Wait, these are for you! They'll bring you luck! Mary Ann and Ginger have brought Hawaiian style lei's and start putting them around the skipper and Gilligan's necks. SKIPPER Well how very nice ladies! Just wonderful. Just about all I can say is Aloha Nui Oi. That's Hawaiian for, till we meet again. GINGER I learned a little Hawaiian. When I was singing in a club in Waikiki. Wahni Wiki huki loki nu, and every word of it comes from the bottom of my heart. GILLIGAN Gee that's real nice Ginger. What does it mean? GINGER This bar is off limits to all military personnel. SKIPPER Well come on Gilligan, it looks like we're ready to shove off! Hoist the anchor, let go of the stern line! The skipper and Gilligan start to paddle the raft away from shore. Since Gilligan failed to hoist the anchor, the raft only goes so far and stops. Meanwhile the skipper and Gilligan are frantically rowing. ALL (AD LIBBING) Aloha! Good Bye! Bon Voyage!... SKIPPER Goodbye folks! Row Gilligan! Row! ALL (AD LIBBING) Aloha! Good Bye! Bon Voyage! GILLIGAN Goodbye! Bye! Bye! The skipper finally realizes why they're not going anywhere. SKIPPER Gilligan. Gilligan! Did you pull in the anchor!? GILLIGAN That would make us go a lot faster. SKIPPER Well go get it! Gilligan gets off the raft and runs over to the anchor and lifts it up. Gilligan walks with the anchor into the lagoon as the raft sails away. The skipper seems completely unaware that he's not onboard and keeps rowing. GILLIGAN Well, bye! CUT TO: CLOSE UP - GINGER GINGER (YELLING) Call my agent! CUT TO: CLOSE UP - PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL PROFESSOR (YELLING) Be careful! CUT TO: EXT – LAGOON – RAFT SHOT SKIPPER Goodbye! GILLIGAN Bye! MARY ANN (YELLING) Be careful! GILLIGAN Bye! GINGER Goodbye Gilligan! GILLIGAN Bye! Gilligan keeps walking with the anchor as he follows the raft. He continues to walk until he's completely underwater. The remaining castaways on shore are witness to the whole thing but keep yelling out their farewells. Mrs. Howell is becoming concerned. CUT TO: CLOSE UP - PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL MRS HOWELL Thurston, I do believe Gilligan's gone underwater. CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT The skipper finally realizes Gilligan's underwater. SKIPPER Gilligan! (pause) Gilligan! The skipper pulls up on the anchor rope and Gilligan pops to the surface. CUT TO: CLOSE UP – PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL MR HOWELL Good, he's up again. CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT The skipper is then pulled off the raft by Gilligan and ends up in the lagoon too. CUT TO: CLOSE UP – MARY ANN AND GINGER GINGER Take care! CUT TO: CLOSE UP – PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL CUT TO: EXT – LAGOON – RAFT SHOT Gilligan is helping the skipper back up on the raft. FADE TO: STOCK SHOT OF WAVES BREAKING ON A BEACH FADE TO: EXT – OCEAN – DAY The skipper and Gilligan are standing on the raft far out to sea with no land in sight. GILLIGAN I'm flipping my lid I tell ya! Everywhere I look, it's water water water!! SKIPPER You stop that Gilligan, that's an order! GILLIGAN Well I'm sick of orders! And I'm sick of the sun and the wind and the spray and the salt! SKIPPER What are you talking about!? We've only been gone twenty minutes! GILLIGAN Gee is that all? The skipper has had it with Gilligan. SKIPPER Now sit down there and start paddling! Dig in! FAST! Gilligan does what he's told and starts paddling as we… FADE TO: EXT – BEACH – DAY Mary Ann and the professor are standing on the beach scanning the horizon for the skipper and Gilligan. MARY ANN How do you think they're doing professor? PROFESSOR Awe it's hard to tell, but at least they've had calm seas for the past three days. MARY ANN Ooooo I hope they'll get through. They've got a good raft, and the skipper's a fine sailor and well…Gilligan is…oh I hope they'll get through. FLIP TO: PREVIOUS SHOT The skipper and Gilligan are still on the raft far out to sea. The trip is beginning to take it toll on the crew. SKIPPER No sign of land, sign of ships, no wind, nothing! GILLIGAN Hey skipper? Let's have breakfast. SKIPPER We had breakfast. GILLIGAN Let's have lunch. SKIPPER We had lunch. GILLIGAN Let's have dinner! SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN We had dinner too. SKIPPER By the way, where are those tropical lei's the girls made for us? Gilligan reaches over and picks up what's left of the lei's. Just a couple of loose vines with nothing left on them. GILLIGAN I had a snack. SKIPPER Gilligan will you stop talking about food! GILLIGAN OK skipper. (pause) I wish I had something to drink. Like a hamburger, or French fries. Gilligan looks down into the water and finds bottle. GILLIGAN Hey, I wished for something to drink and there's a bottle. Maybe it's soda. SKIPPER Maybe it's a bottle of beer! Gilligan reaches out and takes the floating bottle. GILLIGAN Yeah! SKIPPER There's something in it! Gilligan takes out the cork and removes the contents. He hands the cork to the skipper who promptly throws it away. GILLIGAN Hey it's a note. Gilligan takes the note out and start looking at it. SKIPPER What is it? GILLIGAN HELP, WE ARE MAROONED ON A DESERT ISLAND. They spelled marooned wrong. SKIPPER Let me see that! Gilligan this is the note that you wrote! GILLIGAN Oh yeah, I don't know how to spell marooned. SKIPPER Errrr…give me that bottle! The skipper takes the bottle and tosses it back in the ocean. Just then the crew notices several sharks approaching the raft. SKIPPER We got company! GILLIGAN I sure hope they had three meals today. SKIPPER Where's that shark repellent? Didn't the professor say he was going to make some? GILLIGAN Yeah, it was delicious. SKIPPER (ANGRILY) Oh Gilligan get over there and start paddling! The skipper and Gilligan are frantically trying to paddle the raft, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. There are several sharks circling the raft and as Gilligan tries to paddle. A shark takes a bite out of Gilligan's paddle and he raises it up to look at it in horror. SKIPPER Keep paddling! GILLIGAN Skipper look! SKIPPER Don't just stand there, keep paddling! One of the sharks takes another large bite out of the end of Gilligan's paddle with a crunching sound. Gilligan lifts the paddle out of the water only to see that the paddle has been bitten completely off. GILLIGAN Skipper!! As the sharks continue to make their attack on the raft, they take large bites out of the raft. Gilligan takes out his knife and cuts the vines holding the raft together. The bamboo poles making up the deck start to slide off into the water. The skipper is picking up bamboo poles and tossing them into the water to distract the sharks. The raft is getting smaller and smaller and it is becoming difficult to stand on the deck. The skipper keeps falling over Gilligan in the process. As the raft gets smaller, Gilligan ends up hanging on to the mast for dear life. The skipper is trying to hold on to the mast also but there is barely enough room to stand. Gilligan and the skipper are now only barely staying afloat on what's left of their raft FLIP TO: EXT – OCEAN – AFTERNOON The skipper and Gilligan are still standing on the remains of the raft as a storm develops. SKIPPER Thought we'd never get away from those sharks! GILLIGAN Thank goodness bamboo is filling. SKIPPER We haven't got much raft left, but we'll get where we're going. We got a good current behind us. GILLIGAN Yep skipper! From here on it looks like smooth sailing! Just then a thunderclap and lightening strikes, along with a down pour occurs. The skipper and Gilligan are now standing on a sinking raft as it sinks deeper and deeper in the water. GILLIGAN Skipper, do you think we should abandon ship!? SKIPPER It's too late! It's already abandoned us! The skipper and Gilligan are left standing on the sinking raft as we… FADE OUT ACT TWO FADE IN EXT – BEACH – MORNING The skipper and Gilligan are seen emerging from the ocean in a tired and exhausted state. Gilligan is seen dragging a long bamboo pole with him. As they make their way on to the beach, they both collapse on their knees onto the sand, soaking wet. SKIPPER You all right Gilligan? GILLIGAN Oh I'm fine skipper. The skipper notices the bamboo pole. SKIPPER What's that? GILLIGAN I saved the raft. SKIPPER (STERNLY) Good work Gilligan. GILLIGAN I wonder where we are. SKIPPER I don't know, we must have traveled hundreds of miles. (pause) First thing we gotta do is build a fire. GILLIGAN Oh yeah. Right skipper. I've got some matches right here. Gilligan reaches in his pocket and pulls out a waterproofed package containing matches. FLIP TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY The skipper has assembled some firewood and is waiting for Gilligan to bring a burning log over to get it going. SKIPPER All right Gilligan, I'm all set here! Bring the fire! And don't let it go out! GILLIGAN Aye, aye, skipper Oooo Ooooo! Take it! Take it! Take it please skipper! Take it! Takeittakeittakeittakeit! Gilligan is bringing a burning log over to the skipper using only his hands. He is getting his hands burnt and fumbles it and hands it to the skipper who's hands are now burning as well. SKIPPER Put it on the fire! He finally ends up tossing the log down on the kindling. SKIPPER What did you do that for!? GILLIGAN It was hot! SKIPPER Of course it was hot! The skipper and Gilligan are standing around the fire warming themselves. SKIPPER This is certainly better than that open beach out there. GILLIGAN Yeah. SKIPPER Well don't just stand there, bring some wood for the fire. Gilligan turns to find some fire wood, but only comes back with green palm fronds and pieces of a green bush. He puts the wood on the fire which immediately starts to produce large quantities of white smoke that rises up. CUT TO: EXT – BEACH – DAY Mary Ann, Ginger and the professor are standing on the beach. MARY ANN Professor, Ginger oh, look, oh there's smoke on the other side of the island! CUT TO: SMOKE RISING FROM OVER HILL CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT PROFESSOR Girls I'm afraid we may be in for some trouble. There's a chance the Marubi may have returned to this island. MARY ANN Those head hunters!? Oh golly professor what do we do!? GINGER The first thing we ought to do is hide our heads! PROFESSOR I want you girls to gather up some of these Conch shells and meet me at the clearing! MARY ANN But but… PROFESSOR At the clearing! I'm going to warn the Howell's about this! The professor, Ginger and Mary Ann walk off camera as we… CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY The skipper and Gilligan are walking through he jungle when the skipper happens upon tracks in the sand. CUT TO: SHOT OF FOOT PRINT IN THE SAND. SKIPPER (O.S.) Gilligan look! CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT Gilligan comes over to see what the skipper wants and see the foot prints as well. GILLIGAN Hey that's pretty good skipper! How did you make the other foot prints!? SKIPPER Those aren't mine! GILLIGAN Well they sure aren't mine, I don't have that many feet! SKIPPER There are other people on this island. GILLIGAN Oh great lets go find 'em! SKIPPER WAIT! GILLIGAN Huh? SKIPPER Remember what the professor said about the Marubi headhunters? GILLIGAN Yeah! SKIPPER Suppose they live on this island? GILLIGAN (SLUMPS DOWN) Yeah. CUT TO: EXT – JUNGEL CLEARING – DAY Mr. And Mrs. Howell are standing on a make shift putting green. Mr. Howell is putting and the avocado pit misses the hole. MR HOWELL Oh dash it all Lovey I've free putted again! MRS HOWELL Well I think your doing very well dear, considering your using a clam shell on a bamboo stick for a putter. MR HOWELL Not to mention an avocado pit for a ball. Here, I'll…I'll try it again. Just as Mr. Howell is going to put the professor yells out… PROFESSOR (O.S.) Mr. Howell!? MR HOWELL QUIET please! The professor runs on camera from behind the Howell's. PROFESSOR But Mr. Howell! MRS HOWELL (QUIETLY) Shhhhhh professor! Mr. Howell is putting. PROFESSOR I know but I got important news! MR HOWELL Not while I'm putting. PROFESSOR Mr. Howell, I believe the Marubi may be here. MR HOWELL I don't care who's here, they are not playing through! MRS HOWELL Thurston, I believe the Marubi are those nasty headhunters the professor told us about. PROFESSOR I think it's advisable we prepare a defense. MR HOWELL Well as I always say a good defense is a strong offense. Wipe the buzzards out before they can attack us! PROFESSOR Yes but how? MR HOWELL Simple! First we blow up their bridge! PROFESSOR Mr. Howell I don't even know if they have a bridge. MR HOWELL Those crafty devils they've out smarted us already. Alright stand back, quiet please. Mr. Howell has gone back to putting as Mary Ann approaches. MARY ANN (O.S.) Professor, oh professor! Mary Ann and Ginger run on camera. MARY ANN We got the Conch shells! PROFESSOR Oh good! The professor takes the Conch shell from Mary Ann and inspects it. PROFESSOR Good! Now these shells will be our warning system. And if you run into danger just blow into them like this. The professor raises the Conch shell to his mouth and blows. The shell lets out a loud howl which can be heard for miles. CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY Gilligan and the skipper are still walking through the jungle when they hear the Conch shell horn sound. GILLIGAN What's that!! CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT The professor has issued the Conch shells to everyone and has given them instruction on how to use it. PROFESSOR Now lets all try it just to make sure. Ginger, Mary Ann, the professor and Mr. And Mrs. Howell all start to blow into the Conch shells. The sound of all the shell together is very eerie and ominous. CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY The skipper and Gilligan are listening to the howl of the horns and getting frightened. SKIPPER Must be the wail of the Marubis! GILLIGAN Oh no! SKIPPER Oh yes! We better camouflage ourselves! The skipper and Gilligan are trying to camouflage themselves by placing leaves and branches under their hats and in their clothes. In the background the wail of the Conch shell horns can still be heard. The skipper is trying to shove a branch down the back of Gilligan's shirt but Gilligan is ticklish and is giggling. SKIPPER Oh stop that Gilligan, this is no laughing matter! CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – CAVE OPENING – DAY The professor has led the others to the mouth of a small cave somewhere in the jungle growth. PROFESSOR Now this is the cave where I found the Marubi arrowhead. Might be safe in there. Ginger looks inside the cave. GINGER My, looks dark in here! PROFESSOR It is! Pitch dark! It'll make a wonderful hiding place. (Pause) The professor looks at the outside of the cave and ponders. INSERT: SHOT OF ROCK FACE ABOVE THE CAVE ENTRANCE PROFESSOR (O.S.) And with those rocks… CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT PROFESSOR I think I can, rig a pretty interesting trap for our Marubi friends. CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE - DAY We see that Gilligan is wearing a tree trunk while the skipper is dressed as a bush. SKIPPER Hold Still Gilligan! GILLIGAN I sure hope this island doesn't have any Termites! SKIPPER At least we'll be safe like this so we can scout around and see what's what. GILLIGAN Yeah. Gilligan is having trouble moving in his "tree" costume. GILLIGAN Skipper I think you made my roots too long! SKIPPER Never mind! Just take short steps like this. The skipper takes small steps and keeps moving around in circles. SKIPPER How do I look? GILLIGAN Like a fat bush! SKIPPER When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it! GILLIGAN You just asked for it. SKIPPER OH SHUT UP! GILLIGAN Shhhhhh! SKIPPER Remember now, if there's any danger just stand still and you're a tree! Suddenly a tropical bird lets out a screech and scares both nearly to death. Gilligan takes off at a frantic pass. SKIPPER Gilligan come back here! CUT TO: EXT – CAVE OPENING – DAY The professor is finishing his trap as Ginger brings more leaves and branches to conceal the vine. GINGER Here's some more. PROFESSOR Good! Start spreading these around but be careful, it's all set. Now the vine is the trigger. It goes over here, around the tree stump, up here, over to here, and is attached to these two small rocks. GINGER And if anyone tries to get into the cave… PROFESSOR The minute they touch that vine, it creates a tension, out come these two rocks and the WHOLE thing comes tumbling down on them. GINGER That's a wonderful trap professor! PROFESSOR Be careful now. It's all set to go. CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT The skipper is searching for Gilligan after he ran off scared. SKIPPER Gilligan! GILLIGAN Over here skipper! The skipper trips over a rock and falls over as he moves towards Gilligan. GILLIGAN Watch the rock skipper! SKIPPER (SARCASTICALLY) Thanks a lot Gilligan! GILLIGAN Are you alright!? SKIPPER I'm fine. Just fine! (pause) I got to rest a second. Will you stop going so fast!? GILLIGAN OK skipper. SKIPPER From now on we'll stick close together. (PANTING) Did you see anything? (Pause) Well? GILLIGAN Skipper? SKIPPER What. GILLIGAN I've been attacked! SKIPPER Attacked!? GILLIGAN (O.S.) Yeah. CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN IN HIS TREE. NEAR HIS HEAD IS A WOODPECKER. GILLIGAN By a woodpecker. The woodpecker is pecking away at the side of Gilligan's head. GILLIGAN Shooo! Shooo! The woodpecker just keeps on pecking. Finally Gilligan has had enough. GILLIGAN HEY! The woodpecker stops. GILLIGAN Are you going to keep peckin my head? The woodpecker responds by nodding up and down as if to say yes. It then goes back to pecking Gilligan's head. Gilligan gives up. CUT TO EXT – SAME JUNGLE AREA – DAY The professor and the girls are making their way through the jungle when suddenly the professor spies something. PROFESSOR Wait! GINGER What? PROFESSOR That tree over there moved! The professor raises his bow and lets loose an arrow. QUICK PAN TO: GILLIGAN BEING HIT IN THE TREE TRUNK BY THE ARROW. Gilligan's arms extend straight out when he's hit with the arrow. He and the skipper take off through the jungle. CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT GINGER The tree ran away! CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY The skipper in his bush and Gilligan in his tree run off into t he jungle. GINGER (O.S.) And there goes a fat bush! CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT PROFESSOR It IS the Marubi! They often disguise themselves. We better warn the others! The professor starts blowing his Conch horn to warn the others he's encountered the Marubi. CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY Gilligan and the skipper hear the wailing horn and react. GILLIGAN Skipper! There gonna attack any minute! I'm getting out of this tree! SKIPPER Now is no time to panic Gilligan! GILLIGAN It's as good a time as any! THE Conch shell horn can still be heard as we… FADE TO: EXT – CAVE AREA - DAY The skipper and Gilligan have removed their camouflage outfits and are making their way through he jungle. The skipper stops as they happen upon the cave the professor found earlier. Gilligan runs into the back of him. SKIPPER Will you watch where your going! GILLIGAN What did you stop for skipper? SKIPPER Look Gilligan a cave. We can hide in the cave! (PAUSE) Well what are you waiting for? Gilligan won't go in the cave. GILLIGAN The skipper always leads his crew. SKIPPER Gilligan get in the cave! GILLIGAN Wait, wait, I got a great idea. (pause) Why don't we fix a trap with these rocks. Fix'em so they fall down on the Muribi, an…and we can…we can use a vine, look just like this one here see? Good idea? SKIPPER What a ridiculous scheme. Do you really think that you can take vine, run it along the ground here, over this tree stump, up along side the cave, and tie it into these rocks so that all these rocks fall down. It finally dawns on the skipper that what he just said is actually a trap and does a double take. SKIPPER It IS a trap! Must have been set by the Marubi! Gilligan now I know we'll be safe in that cave. When the Marubi come back, see that their trap isn't sprung, they'll go away! The skipper and Gilligan enter the cave with Gilligan going first. SKIPPER Watch the vine! They enter the cave and are now out of sight. SKIPPER (O.S.) What are you stopping for? GILLIGAN (O.S.) Skipper… SKIPPER (O.S.) Never mind I'll go ahead! Just then we hear a crunch. SKIPPER (O.S.) Ooooomf! GILLIGAN (O.S.) There's a low rock there! SKIPPER (O.S.) Thanks a lot Gilligan! (pause) Cut that out! GILLIGAN (O.S.) Yes sir. SKIPPER Quit it!! GILLIGAN Aye, aye! And again we hear a head splitting crunch. SKIPPER Oooomf! GILLIGAN Another one. CUT TO: SAME AREA NEW VIEW POINT Just then the professor, Mary Ann, Ginger and Mr. and Mrs. Howell run on camera near the cave entrance. The professor is directing the others into the cave. PROFESSOR Hurry! GINGER Here we go! PROFESSOR Now be careful of this vine. It's the trap I told you about. Careful. Right into the cave. You'll be perfectly safe in there. MR HOWELL Good heavens. The professor helps the others enter the cave one by one until all are out of sight. Suddenly there is an outburst of yelling, screaming and Conch shell horn sounds. It's apparent that Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Mary Ann, Ginger and the professor have met up with Gilligan and the skipper. Each of them believes they have met with the savage Marubi and are fighting back. This continues for quite some time. The skipper is ejected from the cave as the fighting goes on. As he reenters the cave he passes Mr. Howell who is being ejected also. Mr. Howell reenters the cave and then Gilligan and the professor are ejected from the cave at the same time. The professor starts back in when Gilligan notices him. GILLIGAN Hey don't go in there mister, there's Marubi in there! PROFESSOR Gilligan! GILLIGAN Professor, what are you doing on this island!? PROFESSOR Well we've always been on this island! GILLIGAN Oh, than that must be us in there! I better go tell'em! PROFESSOR Be careful of that vine! It's a trap! GILLIGAN I know! Gilligan goes back in the cave. There is more yelling and horn blowing. Gilligan gets ejected from the cave once again. GILLIGAN They threw me out! PROFESSOR I'll tell'em you stay here! The professor is next to try to stop the fighting. He starts to enter the cave. GILLIGAN Be careful of the vine it's a trap! The professor comes back out of the cave. PROFESSOR I know! He goes back in. After a few more moments of fighting it gets quiet. PROFESSOR (O.S) All clear Gilligan! GILLIGAN Oh boy it's good to be home again! Gilligan then starts running back into the cave but trips on the vine in the process. CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF CAVE ENTRANCE AS VINES PULLS THE TWO ROCKS OUT SETTING OFF THE TRAP CUT TO: CLOSE UP CAVE ENTRANCE The trap works as rocks, dirt and debris fall down in front of the entrance with a loud rumbling sound. All we see at the end is a huge cloud of white dust as we… FADE OUT EPILOG FADE IN SAME SHOT AS FADE OUT We see the cave entrance piled high with small rocks. There is only a small opening at the top, and the skipper has already squeezed through. The professor is starting to emerge from the opening as the skipper helps him. SKIPPER Let me give you a hand. Oh, that Gilligan! It's all his fault! PROFESSOR I, warned him about that vine! Both are now free of the cave as they standby to assist the others from the cave. Mary Ann is the next to emerge. SKIPPER Watch yourself now Mary Ann. Don't scrape your back. PROFESSOR Careful, careful. Are you all right? MARY ANN I think so. SKIPPER Watch your ankles. Mary Ann has emerged and is looking rather beaten. Ginger is next to be helped from the cave. PROFESSOR Are you hurt? SKIPPER Careful Ginger. GINGER No, I'm all right. Ginger is inspecting her torn dress. GINGER But look at my dress! It's the only dress I have. It's ruined! Mrs. Howells parasol starts to emerge from the cave. SKIPPER Oh that Gilligan! Careful Mrs. Howell. RS HOWELL Thank you captain. PROFESSOR Are you well? MRS HOWELL Not very. PROFESSOR Careful. SKIPPER Watch yourself now. Mr. Howell is next to come through the opening and is complaining the whole time. MR HOWELL Tremendous…I thought we had been…Ohhhh! SKIPPER Careful Mr. Howell MR HOWELL Reminds me of the back nine… PROFESSOR (TO SKIPPER) Careful with him. SKIPPER Watch your step…that's it. Well where's Gilligan! Gilligan knows he's in trouble and doesn't want to come out. SKIPPER I'm gonna count to three, if you don't come out, I'm gonna come in and getcha! One! Two! THREE! Just as the skipper says three, a hideous face appears in the opening. It's not Gilligan, but the masked face of a Marubi. The masked face lets out a horrible roar. Every one starts to scream and run into the jungle. The Marubi, complete with grass skirt, necklace and menacing mask, makes it's way out of the cave and stands in the clearing waving his arms menacingly. CUT TO: SAME AREA – ANGLE ON SKIPPER The skipper, being the last to run stops and turns around to see the Marubi. The Marubi lets out one last hideous Roar. The skipper has now been frightened in to running away down the path. CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT – CLOSE UP OF MARUBI The Marubi stand full face before the camera when he suddenly lifts his mask to reveal it's only Gilligan dressed as a Marubi. GILLIGAN Skipper gone. Gilligan one smart Marubi! Gilligan, dressed as a Marubi is left standing near the cave smiling smugly to himself as his mask falls back down into place. He looks back and forth as we… FADE OUT END CREDITS GILLIGAN'S ISLAND Two on a Raft Rev. 09/26/64
