MEDIUM SHOT OF GENERAL

	The General is reviewing a document relating to a 
	missile launch. 

				GENERAL
			Well Major, looks as though operation powder 
			keg is ready for the final phase.

PAN LEFT WITH GENERAL TO MAJOR

	We see a large world map hung on the wall.

				MAJOR
			Yes sir.

				GENERAL
			Now we'll learn exactly what that new 
			warhead'll do.

	The general moves to the map of the world and marks the 
	map with the missiles trajectory.

				GENERAL
			It's to be tested down the South Seas missile 
			range. We found the perfect place. No 
			habitation, no people.

	He places a large X on the map.

				MAJOR
				(O.S.)
			That's wonderful sir. I'll release an 
			announcement to the press and radio stations 
			in the area.

CLOSE UP OF AN X BEING DRAWN IN THE SAND

PULL BACK/PAN UP TO ELEVATED VIEW - MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER

	The skipper has just placed a large X in the sand. 

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF CLEARING

	Gilligan walks on camera carrying a large bamboo pole.

PAN LEFT WITH GILLIGAN TO SKIPPER

				GILLIGAN
			Here you are skipper. Here's the pole you 
			wanted.

				SKIPPPER
			Thanks a lot Gilligan.

	The skipper points to the X he drew in the sand.

				SKIPPER
			X marks the spot. This is were it will go up.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh.

	With that said, Gilligan drops one end of the pole he 
	was carrying, right on the skippers foot, making the 
	skipper cry out in pain.

				SKIPPER
			Not THAT! The playroom!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, yeah. Hey it's a good idea skipper!
			If we're going to be stuck on the island, we 
			might as well have some fun.

				SKIPPER
			Why certainly Gilligan, that's why I 
			suggested that we build a playroom. A nice 
			big one. We might as well make the island 
			nice!

				GILLIGAN
			Can we have a dance?

				SKIPPER
			Well that's not too good a suggestion, there 
			are only three women and four men. It might 
			cause trouble.

				GILLIGAN
			No, that's ok now days skipper. They don't 
			dance in couples, they just choose up sides!

				SKIPPER
			Ha…ha…ha…ha, very good! Well now you start 
			sawing the poles and I want to listen to the 
			noonday news. 

	The skipper starts to walk away ant then stops.

				SKIPPER
			Oh ep…do you know who has the radio?

				GILLIGAN
			A, oh yeah the professor has it.

				SKIPPER
			Thank you

	Skipper starts to walk away again.

				GILLIGAN
			Wait a minute! Wait a minute, no. Mary Ann 
			has it.

				SKIPPER
			Ah.

	Skipper starts to turn away…

				GILLIGAN
			No no wait! Ginger, she has it.

	The skipper is getting a little frustrated.

				GILLIGAN
			No no. The Howell's, they have it.

	The skipper has had enough.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan. Do you know who has the radio.

	Gilligan looks a little lost.

				GILLIGAN
			No.

				SKIPPER
			I thought not. Saw!

	The skipper turns and walks away as we…

			You sent for me sir?

				GENERAL
			Have you released the information on 
			operation powder keg?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MAJOR

				MAJOR
			Yes sir. The press has been notified and all 
			the radio stations in the South sea area.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GENERAL

				GENERAL
			Good. Judging from this latest report,

CUT TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

WIDE SHOT OF JUNGLE

	The skipper walks briskly on camera.

PAN RIGHT WITH SKIPPER TO PROFESSOR AND MR AND MRS HOWELL

	Mr. and Mrs. Howell and the professor are working in 
	the clearing as the skipper walks on camera.

				SKIPPER
			Hi folks! Have you seen the radio?

				PREOFESSOR
			No I haven't seen it. Maybe the girls have 
			got it.

	The professor, still working, bends down and off 
	camera.

				MR HOWELL
			Ah skipper, it's very fascinating the 
			professor's making a mirror for Mrs. Howell.

				MRS HOWELL
			Yes, maybe he'll make one for you too!

				SKIPPER
			Oh well thanks, I'd rather have the radio not 
			a mirror. Ha…ha I more interested in good 
			news than bad news ha…ha…ha.

	The skipper laughs but it becomes obvious that Mr. and Mrs. 
	Howell don't understand the joke.

CUT TO: INT – GINGER AND MARY ANN'S HUT – DAY

CLOSE UP OF RADIO

PULL BACK TO MEDIUM SHOT OF GINGER AND MARY ANN

	On the radio is an exercise program the girls are 
	exercising to. We see the skipper start to walk by 
	their window and stops to look in. Their backs are to 
	the window while the radio is on a bench just below the 
	window.

				RADIO
			ONE TWO THREE FOUR.
			ONE TWO THREE FOUR.
			ONE TWO THREE FOUR.
			ONE TWO THREE FOUR.
			ONE TWO THREE FOUR.
			ONE TWO THREE FOUR.
			AND NOW YOU CAN REST.

	The skipper reaches down to the radio and switches it 
	off. The girls are standing as they wait for the 
	announcer to begin again. The skipper puts his hand 
	over his mouth and tries to mimic the announcer.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND GINGER

				SKIPPER
			And now ladies, the next exercise is a real 
			tough one. Deep knee bends. Ready!?
			One!

PAN DOWN WITH MARY ANN AND GINGER

	The skipper says no more and just watches as the girls' 
	squat down for their first deep knee bend. 

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND GINGER

	After a time, they begin to get uncomfortable. The 
	skipper is having the time of his life watching them 
	sweat it out.

				MARY ANN
			I wonder why he has us down here so long?

				GINGER
			I don't know!
			If we had been doing these exercises all 
			along, we'd be in good shape.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper is enjoying watching the girls suffer.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN AND GINGER

				MARY ANN
			I don't see how you can exercise in that 
			dress it's so tight. I'm surprised it doesn't 
			cut off your circulation!

				GINGER
			Honey, in Hollywood, the tighter the dress, 
			the more the girl circulates.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper has a look of surprise on his face after 
	hearing Ginger.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF MARY ANN, SKIPPER AND GINGER

	The skipper has tortured the girls enough and decides 
	to speak up.

				SKIPPER
			And what are you ladies doing down there?

	The girls realize they've been had, stand up and make 
	their way to the skipper.

			 MARY ANN AND GINGER
			Skipper!

	Mary Ann looks at the radio.

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN, SKIPPER AND GINGER

				MARY ANN
			Well you turned it off!

				GINGER
			Oh skipper!

				SKIPPER
			I was just having a little fun!

				MARY ANN
			Well it wasn't very nice!

				GINGER		
			No it certainly wasn't!

	Mary Ann turns the radio back on.

				RADIO
			…AND THAT WAS A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN 
			FROM RADIO HONOLULU…

	Ginger picks up the radio. 

				GINGER
			Hey what's the matter with the radio?

				MARY ANN
			I don't know! Skipper!

	Ginger hands the radio to the skipper who then 
	turns the knobs and gives it a shake. 

				SKIPPER
			Radio's gone dead!

				MARY ANN
			Dead!?

				GINGER
			Oh dear.

SKIPPER

	The professor is inspecting the radio as the 
	skipper and Gilligan watch.

				GILLIGAN
			Can you tell what's wrong professor?

				PROFESSOR
			Well, nothing seems to be broken. I'd 
			say it was the batteries.

				SKIPPER
			Oh, well without the batteries it may as 
			well be broken.

				PROFESSOR
			I'm afraid you're right. There goes our 
			only contact with civilization.

	and Ginger stand near by as he works.

ZOOM IN AND PAN RIGHT TO MRS HOWELL AND GINGER

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh this is dreadful! Without the radio, 
			how am I going to keep up with the 
			fashion?

				GINGER
			And I won't know what's going on in 
			Hollywood. Who's getting married to who.

				MRS HOWELL
			Whom.

PAN LEFT TO CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Well that's women for you. One worrying 
			about what the other women are wearing 
			and the other one worrying about, WHOM 
			they're wearing.

				MRS HOWELL
			Who.

				MR HOWELL
			Eh..yes.

				MRS HOWELL
			Darling you're only interested in the 
			stock market. We women have more 
			important interests.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN AND PROFESSOR

				MARY ANN
			That's right. I'll never learn what 
			happened to young doctor Malone now.
			After he cured Mrs. Tellingham's baby…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

	The Howell's are staring at Mary Ann with a sense 
	of confusion.

				(CONTINUED)
			…of the measles, he barely got to…

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

			…the hospital in time to set poor Peter 
			Pitman's broken arm! What he didn't

			to avoid hitting another car!…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

	The Howell's are listening with great interest as 
	Mary Ann continues her story.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Good heavens. That's enough to drain 
			anyone's battery!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN AND PROFESSOR

	Mary Ann gives Mr. Howell a dirty look and walks 
	off camera.

				PROFESSOR
			Well it's the batteries all right. Cause 
			everything else is in perfect working 
			order.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

PAN LEFT WITH MR HOWELL TO PROFESSOR

				MR HOWELL
			No, the company that makes those 
			batteries is a disgrace to the American 
			free enterprise system! I mean really, 
			I've got dozens of companies,… 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MRS HOWELL

	She's inspecting one of the batteries.

				(CONTINUED)
				  (O.S.)
			…we make hundreds of products like that, 
			and you got to… 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL AND PROFESSOR

				(CONTINUED)
			…maintain production standards.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			But Thurston!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL AND PROFESSOR

				MR HOWELL
			There is no excuse for shoddy workman 
			ship! Not with testing facilities the 
			way they are today. You market something 
			you've got to make it with meticulous 
			care, to last and to last and to last!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			But Thurston, These batteries were made 
			by the Thurston Howell…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL AND PROFESSOR

				(CONTINUED)
				  (O.S.)
			…battery company!

	Mr. Howell looks totally shocked.

				MR HOWELL
			Well you can't expect them to last 
			orever can you? I'd go out of business!
			Lovey! Really!

	Mr. Howell, rather angry, walks off camera 
	towards Mrs. Howell.

FLIP TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

WIDE SHOT – JUNGLE FOLIAGE

	The skipper and Gilligan run on camera.

				SKIPPER
			Professor! Professor! I've got an extra 
			set of batteries for the radio!

PAN RIGHT WITH SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN TO PROFESSOR

	We see the professor sitting at the table still 
	working on the radio. 

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah he's got an extra set of batteries 
			for the radio!

				PROFESSOR
			That's great! Great!

	The skipper hands the batteries to the professor.

				SKIPPER
			I had 'em all the time!

				GILLIGAN
			He had 'em all the time!

	The professor starts putting the batteries in 
	their holders and into the radio.

				SKIPPER
			Forgot all about 'em!

				GILLIGAN
			He forgot all about 'em!

				SKIPPER
			I feel like and absolute idiot about 
			this!

				GILLIGAN
			He feels like,…he had 'em all the time.

				PROFESSOR
			All set.

	The professor turns the radio over and sets it on 
	its side. Gilligan and the skipper end up talking 
	over each other as Gilligan gets excited. 

				GILLIGAN
			Can I turn it on!? Can I turn it on 
			skipper!? Can I turn it on!? Please!?

				SKIPPER
			Yes Gilligan, just as soon as he gets 
			it… YES go ahead! Turn it on!

				PROFESSOR
			Go ahead! Turn it on Gilligan!

	Gilligan reaches over and turn on the radio. 

				GILLIGAN
			It's on! It's on!

	The radio remains silent.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, what did you do!?

				GILLIGAN
			I didn't do anything. I just turned it 
			on!

				PROFESSOR
			Ah it's not his fault skipper. These 
			batteries are dead too.

				SKIPPER
			But I never used them!!

				PROFESSOR
			Well batteries can lose power just 
			sitting on a shelf!

	The professor takes the batteries out of the 
	radio and as he examines them he lights up! 

				PROFESSOR
			Hey! Wait a minute skipper we're in 
			luck!

				SKIPPER
			Yeah, bad luck.

				PROFESSOR
			No, these batteries are rechargeable!

				SKIPPER
			Professor, how can we recharge batteries 
			here on the island!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			We don't even have a credit card.

				PROFESSOR
			Seawater! I use to do this experiment in 
			my science class. We used seawater 
			instead of battery acid to re-vitalize 
			old dry cell batteries and produce 
			electricity!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			Seawater! Well what are we waiting for!? 
			We've got enough sea water to light up 
			every light on Broadway!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
			Now here's what we have to do. We need 
			coconut shells, seawater, metal strips, 
			pennies…

FLIP TO: EXT – CLEARING – DAY

CLOSE UP OF COCONUTS WITH METAL STRIPS AND WIRES

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			The pennies are held in the seawater by 
			the hairpins. The wire coming from the 
			pennies leads to the positive pole of 
			the battery.

PULL BACK TO MEDIUM SHOT – GROUP

	The professor is at the head of the table while 
	the remaining castaways are equally spaced on 
	either side of the table. They all have small 
	sticks at the ready.

				PROFESSOR
			Metal strips on the other side of the 
			coconut, lead to the negative pole of 
			the battery. Now, everybody get ready to 
			stir their coconuts, when I get the 
			battery hooked up.

	The professor makes his final connection.

				PROFESSOR
			All right! Everybody stir!

	Everyone starts to vigorously stir their 
	respective coconut with their sticks.

				MR HOWELL
			I wonder if Thomas Edison started this 
			way?

			Looks like a crazy Martini doesn't it?

FLIP TO: SAME SCENE – LATER

	The castaways are all still stirring their 
	coconuts.

				PROFESSOR
			All right that should be enough. Now 
			lets see if we can get anything.

	Everyone stops stirring as the professor starts 
	to unhook the battery from his makeshift charger.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF RADIO AND COCONUTS

	The professor turns the radio over and sets it on 
	its side. He turns the knob one and…

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT – GROUP

	Music is heard coming from the radio. The 
	castaways are elated and begin congratulating the 
	professor in an ad-lib fashion.

			Oh it works! Ho…ho!

	The professor turns off the radio.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

				SKIPPER
			Did he say a hundred forty degrees 
			latitude?

				PROFESSOR
			Yes.

				SKIPPER
			And ten degrees longitude?

(TRANSCRIBERS NOTE: The reference to longitude and 
latitude are in error. It should have been 10 degrees 
latitude and 140 degrees west longitude. The skipper 
should have known better.)

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
			They said down the south sea missile

MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is straightening up the hut. He grabs a 
	broom and starts to sweep. Mary Ann walks into 
	the hut carrying something behind her.

				MARY ANN
			Hi Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Hi Mary Ann.

				MARY ANN
			What are you doing?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh I'm just straightening things so 
			everything'll be nice and neat when it 
			gets blown up.

	Gilligan notices Mary Ann is hiding something.

				GILLIGAN
			Ooo, what have you got behind your 
			back!?
	
				MARY ANN
			A coconut cream pie for you.

	Mary Ann turns around to show Gilligan who 
	promptly takes the pie.

				GILLIGAN
			For me!?

				MARY ANN
			Uh…hum! Oh you start thinking at a time 
			like this and, well I haven't always 
			been as nice to you as I should.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh that's not true Mary Ann. You been 
			very nice to me.

				MARY ANN
			No I haven't! Take last night for 
			instance. You wanted another piece of 
			watermelon and I said no.

				GILLIGAN
			You were right to say no that was my 
			eighth piece!

				MARY ANN
			But the point is Gilligan, if you had 
			wanted it, why shouldn't you have eight?

	Gilligan gets a set of silverware located in a 
	large bamboo container.

				GILLIGAN
			Because the first seven gave me a 
			stomachache.

	Gilligan sets down at his table and gets out the 
	silverware.

				MARY ANN
			We haven't got much time left between 
			now and, you know when.

				GILLIGAN
			When?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

	Mary Ann gives Gilligan the we're gonna die look.

	As Mary Ann walks off camera, Gilligan looks 
	intently at his coconut cream pie.

				GILLIGAN
			Boy, what a way to go!

FLIP TO: SAME SCENE – LATER

	Gilligan has an empty pie plate in front of him 
	as we hear the skipper. He's looking ill.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			In here skipper.

	The skipper enters the hut carrying two coconut 
	cream pies.

				SKIPPER
			How 'bout that Mary Ann. 

	Gilligan sees the pies.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh no.

				SKIPPER
			She thought she wasn't being nice enough 
			to me so she made me two pies! Actually 
			she's been wonderful to me but, well, I 
			haven't been very good to you little 
			buddy.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh that's not true skipper!!

				SKIPPER
			Oh yes it is, now don't say that just to 
			make me feel better. I know it's true. I 
			know that I yell at you and bawl you out 
			when you're really trying to do your 
			very best! So, what I'm trying to say 
			little buddy is, I want you to have one 
			of my pies.

	The skipper holds out one of the pies. Gilligan, 
	already sick with eating two pies, doesn't want 
	another one.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh no skipper Mary Ann made it for you…

				SKIPPER
			No no, I insist! Now little buddy just 
			trying to make up for the way I've 
			treated you. And I know that if Mary Ann 
			had made you two pies for you, you'd 
			give one to me! Now I want you to eat 
			every bite.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper I like the way you treat me. I 
			like the way you yell and shout at me.

				SKIPPER
			You know before it's too late a man, 
			should look at the people around him. 
			And, figure out what he can do to make 
			their lives happier! Oh little buddy, 
			you don't know how happy you're going to 
			make me feel when I see you eating this 
			pie!

	Gilligan gets up to explain when he…

				GILLIGAN
			Oh no skipper I…

	…pushes the pie right in the skipper's face. The 
	skipper is bit shocked but maintains his 
	composure.

				SKIPPER
			    (SARCASTICALLY)
			Thanks a lot Gilligan.

	The skipper takes his last remaining pie and 
	slams it into Gilligan's face. The skipper looks 
	satisfied as we…

MEDIUM SHOT

	Mrs. Howell is sitting at a table with note pad 
	in hand takes notes as Mr. Howell paces back and 
	forth.

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			Thurston are you sure that you want to 
			make a new will?

				MR HOWELL
			Yes I'd like to get things right before 
			we take a long walk up that great flight 
			of stairs to the big bank vault in the 
			sky.

				MRS HOWELL
			What makes you so sure we're going to 
			walk UP and not down?

				MR HOWELL
			The reason I want to write a new will. 
			Now let me see Lovey, up until now my 
			favorite charity has always been me. But 
			I think its time to think of other 
			people, so I direct in that will, that 
			all the money from the First National 
			Bank be distributed among needy 
			children.

				MRS HOWELL
			Needy children! Oh Thurston that's a 
			marvelous idea! That means of course all 
			children living in Beverly Hills.

				MR HOWELL
			Naturally. Now lets not forget medical 
			science. We must help fight disease. 

				MRS HOWELL
			Which disease darling?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Well that is quite a problem deciding

FLIP TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

MEDIUM SHOT OF PROFESSOR

	The professor walks out of the jungle and into 
	the clearing.

PAN RIGHT WITH PROFESSOR TO GINGER

				PROFESSOR
			Hi!

				GINGER
			Oh hi.

	Ginger is sitting on a log looking depressed.

				PROFESSOR
			Am I intruding?

	The professor sits down next to her.

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF BOTH, FAVORING GINGER

				GINGER
			Oh no. I was just thinking what a waste 
			my life's been. I mean, so I was an 
			actress so what. I never really did 
			anything for anyone.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE FAVORING PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Well you entertained people.

				GINGER
			Oh that was just for the moment.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				(CONTINUED)
			I mean really do something important. 
			Like being a nurse. Oh although I was a 
			nurse. For one day I was Ben Casey's 
			nurse. And you know something professor. 
			In that one hour, we saved six people. 
			And if it hadn't been for the 
			commercials, we would have saved eight!

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			You're right Ginger, that's what's 
			important. Saving people. I should never 
			have become a teacher. Should have gone 
			on with my work in science. You know 
			when I was in college, we were working 
			on a vision problem encountered by Navy 
			patrol fliers after they had spent 
			several hours scanning the ocean and…

	The professor's face lights up.

				(CONTINUED)
			Wait that's it!

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				GINGER

			What's great professor? Take it easy!

				PROFESSOR
			Take it easy!? We can't! We've got to 
			get busy don't you see! We're not in 
			danger! This is our rescue!

	Ginger is now standing behind the two men.

				GINGER
			Rescue!?

				PROFESSOR
			Why sure listen! Before the government 
			ever sends a missile down range, they 
			send out a search plane first to make 
			sure the area is clear!

PULL BACK WITH PROFESSOR, SKIPPER AND GINGER TO 
MEDIUM SHOT OF GROUP

				SKIPPER
			He's right! They always send out a

			And just to make sure they see us, I'm

			our rescue!

				SKIPPER
			Oh let's get at it professor! That's the

CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER WITH PROFESSOR IN BG

	The skipper is looking skyward with a pair of 
	binoculars.

				SKIPPER
			Hurry up professor, that plane'll be

				PROFESSOR
			That does it. It's Finished. You know 
			using that gumwood paint should make a 
			good reflector. Come on skipper give me 
			a hand.

FOLLOW SKIPPER TO MEDIUM SHOT OF GROUP

	The skipper and professor each take a side of the 
	mirror and hold it up. 

				SKIPPER
			Oh boy, all right, sure!

	Gilligan stands in front of the mirror and looks 
	at himself.

				GILLIGAN
			You now I haven't seen myself in so long 
			I forgot what I looked like.

CUT TO: REFLECTED IMAGE OF GILLIGAN IN MIRROR 

	The image of Gilligan is tall and skinny.

				GILLIGAN
			Lost a lot of weight.

GILLIGAN

	They start to rotate the mirror.

				SKIPPER
			Let me get a better grip on it.

	fat.

				GILLIGAN
			Instant fat!

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, PROFESSOR AND 
GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper, let's see how it works in the

	The skipper and professor tilt the mirror up to 
	catch the suns rays. It reflects the sunlight 
	like a huge spot light.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF HUT EXTERIOR

	Mary Ann and Ginger come out of the hut in the 
	bright light of the reflected sun.

				GINGER
			Oh! I feel like I'm in Hollywood!

	Ginger takes up poses as if she's on stage.

				MARY ANN
			Come on Ginger, let's see what they're 
			doing.

	The girls start to walk off camera.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, PROFESSOR AND 
GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Sure does work!

				PROFESSOR
			Well it's not exactly ground glass, but 
			with that strong sun, I don't see how 
			the plane could possibly miss it.

	The skipper takes the binoculars and hands them 
	to Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
			Oh boy, all we've got to do now is wait 
			for that plane! Here Gilligan, get over 
			on the other side of the clearing. The 
			view is better from there and keep your 
			eyes open!

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye sir!

	Gilligan takes off.

FADE TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	that's lying on the hut's roof.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN, MR AND MRS HOWELL AND 
GINGER

				MR HOWELL
			Set up the mirror! That's it!

	The small group is yelling to the skipper and 
	professor to set up the mirror.

	The professor and the skipper raise the mirror 
	into position.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN ON HUT ROOF

	as they know what's about to happen.

PAN RIGHT WITH GILLIGAN'S SWING – WIDE SHOT

	We see Gilligan swing past Mary Ann, Mr. and Mrs.

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan! Gilligan are you all right!

	He's lying in foliage looking a little dazed.

CUT TO CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, GILLIGAN AND GINGER

				SKIPPER
			How do we do that!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN, PROFESSOR AND MR AND

				PROFESSOR
			Someone's going to have to remove the

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, GILLIGAN AND GINGER

				GILLIGAN
			Who?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN, PROFESSOR AND MR AND 
MRS HOWELL

	They stare at Gilligan without saying a word.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, GILLIGAN AND GINGER

	The skipper and Ginger stare intently at 
	Gilligan. Gilligan knows "who". Ginger starts to 
	give Gilligan a push in the missiles direction as 
	we…

CUT TO: EXTREME WIDE SHOT – GILLIGAN, SKIPPER, GINGER 
AND MISSILE

	Ginger is still giving Gilligan a slight push 
	towards the missile.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MISSILES FORWARD SECTION

	The Missile has come alive and is on automatic 
	guidance. It's now making a sound much like that 
	of submarine sonar.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, GILLIGAN AND GINGER

	Gilligan is now backing up away from the missile 
	with a frightened look.

CUT TO: MEDIUMS SHOT OF PROFESSOR, MARY ANN AND MR 
AND MRS HOWELL 

	They have a look of surprise.

CUT TO: EXTREME WIDE SHOT – GILLIGAN, SKIPPER, GINGER 
AND MISSILE

	For some reason it has decided that Gilligan is 
	the target. It continues to make rhythmic beeping 
	sound, as it points towards Gilligan and starts 
	to match his every move.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MISSILES FORWARD SECTION

	The Missile is still making the sonar like sound.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan tries to pretend that he doesn't see the 
	missile and starts walking one direction, the 
	missile follows him.

CUT TO: EXTREME WIDE SHOT – GILLIGAN, SKIPPER, GINGER 
AND MISSILE

	Again the missile still follows along with its 
	sonar like sound as Gilligan slowly walks away.

CUT TO: MISSILE'S POV – PAN WITH GILLIGAN

	As Gilligan moves to the left, the missile moves 
	with him. As Gilligan approaches the skipper and 
	Ginger, they push him away from them sending him 
	to the right. The missile doesn't miss a beat.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan looks as though he's got a plan.


CUT TO: EXTREME WIDE SHOT OF GILLIGAN, SKIPPER, 
GINGER AND MISSILE

	Gilligan is trying to outsmart the missile by 
	faking it out. He goes in one direction and 
	suddenly turns to go in the other. The missile 
	stays glued to Gilligan anyway. 

CUT TO: MISSILE POV - PAN WITH GILLIGAN

	As Gilligan is running, he trips over a log and 
	falls down.

QUICK CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MISSILE'S FORWARD SECTION

				PROFESSOR
			Oh please Gilligan, there may be a

	He hands Gilligan some tools.

				PROFESSOR
			Here you hold these. We'll take it very 
			easy. I'll remove the access panel, that 
		should have a chart with the color codes 
			on it. That way I'll be able to figure 
			out which wire you have to disconnect.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah.

	The professor start to unscrew one of the screws 
	holding the panel in place. He slips with the 
	screwdriver and hits the panel.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND MR AND 
MRS HOWELL

	They are watching intently off camera as the

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, GILLIGAN AND MISSILE

	With a pair of pliers in hand…

				GILLIGAN
				(WHISPERING)
			Professor, you got to get in there and 
			give it one good hit!

	Gilligan takes a swing at the panel and is 
	stopped by the professor. He ends up tossing the 
	pliers off camera instead. 

				PROFESSOR
			Let me do this. Your job will come 
			later.

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND MR AND 
MRS HOWELL

	They're still watching from a safe distance.

FLIP TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, GILLIGAN AND MISSILE

	The professor had removed the panel and is ready 
	the inner markings.

				PROFESSOR
			Now Gilligan, your gonna have to find a 
			green and yellow wire. And that wire 
			will disarm the missile. 
		
				GILLIGAN
			A green and yellow wire, yeah.

	Gilligan is stepping into the missile's opening.

				PROFESSOR
			Now carefully. 

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND MR AND 
MRS HOWELL


	They're watching off camera, as Gilligan is about 
	to enter the missile.

				PROFESSOR
				(O.S.)
			Every moment counts. 

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan has gotten into the missile compartment 
	and is ducking down inside.

				PROFESSOR
			That's it.

CUT TO: INT – MISSILE COMPARTMENT – HALF SHELL

	We see Gilligan in the cramped quarters of the 
	missiles interior. It has circular 
	reinforcements, wires and tubing running 
	throughout. Gilligan is crawling along towards 
	the missile's nose section. He comes across a 
	bunch of wires and gives one a tug. There is the 
	sound of a short circuit as he finds the wire.

				GILLIGAN
			I found it!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, GILLIGAN AND MISSILES 
FORWARD SECTION

	The professor is reading the schematic diagram 
	printed on the panel's inner surface as 
	Gilligan's head emerges from the missile.

				GILLIGAN
			I found it.

				PROFESSOR
			Oh good.


CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND MR AND 
MRS HOWELL

	They're still watching intently.

				PROFESSOR
				(O.S.)
			Now, your gonna have to trace that…

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				(CONTINUED)
			…wire until you come to a buss bar.

				GILLIGAN
			A bus bar?

				PROFESSOR
			Yes a buss bar, is a long copper 
			rectangle with a lot of wires attached 
			to it. You'll have to take that wire of 
			the connector, and that will disarm the 
			missile.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh.

	Gilligan drops back down into the missile.

				PROFESSOR
			And Gilligan. 

	He pops back up again.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah?

				PROFESSOR
			If the end of that wire, touches any 
			other connector, you'll blow us all up.

	Gilligan does slowly turn towards the camera and 
	looks frightened. He decides he'd better leave 
	and starts to get out of the missile. The 
	professor holds him back and pushes him back down 
	inside the missile.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MARY ANN AND MR AND 
MRS HOWELL

	The castaways are getting concerned

				SKIPPER
			Take it easy little buddy.

				MARY ANN
			Oh Gilligan, please be careful.

CUT TO: INT – MISSILE COMPARTMENT – HALF SHELL

	Gilligan makes his way back towards the missile's 
	nose cone. 

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yeah, here it is.

	He finds the buss bar and using a screwdriver, 
	starts to unscrew the wire from the block. He 
	finishes and ends up shorting out the connector 
	with his screwdriver. The missile immediately 
	comes to life as the engine fires up.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GROUP AND MISSILE

	The missile's engine comes to life with roaring 
	fire as smoke. The professor looks into the 
	missile's compartment and then runs back.

	As they see the missile start fire up, they all 
	start to yell and scream.

				ALL
			Gilligan!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan, trapped in the missile is aware that 
	something is terribly wrong. The missile is

	The professor gets out of the way as the missile 
	shoots along the ground and into the jungle.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, it's your will Mr. Howell. I found it

	Gilligan throws the bottle of camera, which prompts Mr. 
	Howell to go spastic. He leaps off the lounge and 
	starts to run off camera headed for the bottle.

				MR HOWELL
			NO! NO MY Boy Don't!!

ZOOM IN ON GILLIGAN

	We hear the bottle fly into the water as Mr. Howell is 
	still yelling and having a fit. Gilligan is left 
	standing open mouthed as he watches Mr. Howell.

				MR HOWELL
				 (O.S.)
			No no noooooo!

	Mr. Howell is heard practically crying as well.
