STOCK SHOT - OCEAN VIEW THROUGH PALM TREES - OVERLAY CREDITS

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY 

	Gilligan is seen walking through the jungle as he 
	carries a bamboo pole with bananas and pineapples 
	attached to the ends. Not paying much attention he 
	decides to stop and take a drink from a coconut he's 
	been carrying in his hand. While drinking, he looks 
	over and sees what appears to be an old airplane in the 
	jungle.  He slowly looks away and then does a double 
	take. He looks at the coconut, thinking it's making him 
	see things and then drops it. He runs over to where the 
	airplane is and gives it several raps on the engine 
	cowling to see if it's real. He's absolutely beside 
	himself and can hardly believe what he's seeing.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh it's real! Oh! Oh! Oh it's got an engine, 
			and wheels, and wings, and a propeller, and 
			oh oh I gotta tell somebody! Oh! Oh boy! Oh 
			boy!

	He gives the plane raps several more times just to make 
	sure it's real.

				GILLIGAN
				(Frantically)
			Stay right here! Don't go away! Oh boy! Oh 
			Boy! Oh boy!

	Gilligan takes off at full speed through the jungle as 
	we…

FADE IN

EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - DAY - 

	Gilligan, skipper, Mary Ann, Ginger and the professor 
	are all pulling the remaining overgrowth and foliage 
	off the plane. 

				SKIPPER
			How we doing professor!?
			How we doing!?

				PROFESSOR
			Well it's…it's remarkable!

			   SKIPPER & GILLIGAN
			Yeah yeah yeah!

				PROFESSOR
			Well considering the fact that this plane 
			must have landed here twenty five or thirty 
			years ago, it's remarkable!

				SKIPPER
			Bu…But can we get it off the ground!?

				PROFESSOR
			Well I…I don't know I'm not sure.

				GILLIGAN
			Awe it's too bad I couldn't find a brand new 
			plane that could fly.

				MARY ANN
			With a great big powerful jet engine.

				GINGER
			Yeah, and great big powerful jet pilot!

				PROFESSOR
			You know something? I believe this engine can 
			be repaired if I could fix the fuel line.

				GILLIGAN
			Then we're saved! We can fly it outta here!

				PROFESSOR
			There's only one problem Gilligan. None of us 
			knows how to fly!

				GILLIGAN
			Ah we could learn! Because the skipper was on 
			an aircraft carrier!
	
				SKIPPER
			Oh a lot of good that'll do us Gilligan I was 
			a cook!

				GINGER
			My room mate was a stewardess!

				MARY ANN
			I knew a crop duster once in Kansas!

				GILLIGAN
			You see with all that experience we can do 
			it!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan we haven't got enough experience to 
			fly a kite!

				PROFESSOR
			I'm afraid the skippers right, we could never 
			do it. We'd be better off salvaging the parts 
			of the plane.

				GINGER
			Oh well, it was a peachy idea while it 
			lasted. See ya.

				MARY ANN
			Lets go fix dinner.
			Cheer up Gilligan.

	Mary Ann and Ginger leave the site of the plane and 
	head back to the clearing.

				GILLIGAN
			Professor, don't you think it's worth a 
			chance?

				PROFESSOR
			And that's all you'd get Gilligan, one 
			chance.

				SKIPPER
			Professor we got one chance we've got to take 
			it! We've GOT to take it! Now come on I'll 
			clean off the tail gear, Gilligan you get 
			that cockpit cleaned out.
		
				PROFESSOR
			Alright I'll have a look at this instrument 
			panel.

				GILLIGAN
			Instru what!?

				PROFESSOR
			The instrument panel.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh.

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

	Mr. And Mrs. Howell are seen making their way through 
	the jungle searching for the others. 
			
				MRS HOWELL
			Thruston, have you any idea where we are?

				MR HOWELL
			Not the faintest!

	Mr. Howell starts making Howling noises to attract 
	attention.

				MR HOWELL
			Oowwwww!  Oowwww! Oowwww!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan hears Mr. Howell and replys.

				GILLIGAN
			Over here!

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

	Mr. And Mrs. Howell hear Gilligan and start to make 
	their way to the airplane clearing.

				MR HOWELL
			Oh yes.
			I tell you this is absolutely…

				MRS HOWELL
			Over there! Over here, over there.

				MR HOWELL
			Over there yes ,well I heard…I heard the 
			sound.

	Mr. And Mrs. Howell are having trouble making their way 
	through the jungle foliage.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh Thurston, this is ghastly!

				MR HOWELL
			Next time well take a live in guide! I've 
			never…

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - DAY

	As Mr. And Mrs. make their way to the clearing, the 
	others are continuing to clean off the airplane.

				PROFESSOR
			Say, this instrument panel is in pretty good 
			shape!

				SKIPPER
			Good! Then our chances are better huh?

	Mr. And Mrs. Howell finally arrive at the plane.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh Thurston! Gilligan was absolutely right! 
			It IS an airplane!

	Mr. Howell is not impressed at what he sees.

				MR HOWELL
			Obviously non scheduled, lets go Lovey.

	Gilligan has finished cleaning off the side of the 
	airplane and reveals some writing.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey hey look at this!
			The spirit of the Bronx!

				MR HOWELL
			The spirit of the Bronx.

				PROFESSOR
			The spirit of the Bronx!
			Say, that was Wrong Way Feldman's plane!

				SKIPPER
			That's right! The one that he used on his 
			round the world trip!

				MR HOWELL
			Looks more, HALF way around the world!
			Wrong Way Feldman! So that's what happened to 
			him.

				MRS HOWELL
				(dreamily)
			It seems like yesterday. And it was really 
			way back in the thirties!

				GILLIGAN
			I read all about him! He was a great pilot!

				MR HOWELL
			Not as far as Howell aircraft was concerned, 
			we invested money in his first plane.

				MRS HOWELL
			Yes that was the one that went non stop from 
			ah…Chicago to New Orleans.

				SKIPPER
			That was pretty good for those days!

				MR HOWELL
			He was suppose to go to Minneapolis!
			Fool flew the wrong way.

				GILLIGAN
			I guess that's how he got his nick name huh?

				MR HOWELL
			No he got that during world war one, he 
			bombed his own airfield. Pow!

				PROFESSOR
			Regardless he still did a lot for aviation.

				SKIPPER
			And at least he was a pilot! For my money I 
			wish he was here right now!

				MRS HOWELL
				(dreamily)
			Oh, I can still remember him from the news 
			reels. That jet black hair, and that slim 
			waist and that flying suit. And that 
			wonderful white scarf, flying in the wind. 
			Awe poor Wrong Way.  I wonder if there's a 
			chance he could've survived.

				MR HOWELL
			On the contrary. Wrong Way Feldman has gone 
			to the great hanger in the sky. (pause)
			Knowing Wrong Way, it's hard to tell which 
			way he went!

	Suddenly out of no where.

				WRONG WAY
			I'll tell ya where I went!

	A scruffy bearded man in tattered flying clothes, parts 
	some nearby bushes and emerges into the clearing where 
	the others are.

				WRONG WAY
			I'm right here!

	Mrs. Howell, completely startled lets out a yelp.

				MR HOWELL
			I don't believe it!

				SKIPPER
			Wrong Way! Your alive!?

				WRONG WAY
			Surprised huh?

			SKIPPER
			Well…but…how did you manage all these years!?

				PROFESSOR
			Are you…are you really Wrong Way Feldman!?

				WRONG WAY
			Who else could I be? I been alone on this 
			island all these years. And then I saw this 
			young fella, nosin around my plane.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh I'm Gilligan Mr. Feldman sir!

				WRONG WAY
			    (affectionately)
			You, may call me Wrong Way.

				GILLIGAN
			Thank you…ah thank you ah this is Mrs. 
			Howell…

	Wrong Way immediately sets his gaze on Mrs. Howell and 
	approaches her.

				GILLIGAN
 			…and the skipper, and the professor…

				WRONG WAY
			Oh madam you are beautiful!

	Wrong Way kisses the gloved hand of Mrs. Howell. Mr. 
	Howell who is standing by, hits Wrong Way's hand with a 
	stick.

				GILLIGAN
			…and that's Mr. Howell.

				WRONG WAY
			Certainly it would be.

				MR HOWELL
				(jealously)
			Come along Lovey!

				MRS HOWELL
			You see, Thurston's just a little bit 
			jealous.

				MR HOWELL
			No I'm not jealous, I just don't want him 
			slobbering over those expensive gloves!
			Come along!

	Mr. Howell takes Mrs. Howell by the arm and leads her 
	away.

				GILLIGAN
			Stranded on the same island with Wrong Way 
			Feldman! Oh we sure are lucky!

				WRONG WAY
			Oh tha…tha…thank you ah Gilligan?

				SKIPPER
			Your an amazing man! How did you manage to 
			survive all these years!?

				WRONG WAY
			Physical fitness, iron will, perseverance and 
			sixty four bottles of scotch.

				PROFESSOR
			Scotch!? Where did you get the scotch!?

				WRONG WAY
			In with my provisions. You know I had every 
			thing, ah food, gasoline, magazines…

				SKIPPER
			Gasoli…gasoline!? You had gasoline!?

				WRONG WAY
			Certainly.

				SKIPPER
			Well Why didn't you fly out of here!?

				WRONG WAY
			With that engine!? After the first three 
			years I give up trying to fix it, ah it's 
			hopeless!

				PROFESSOR
			Well wait a minute, maybe it isn't! With the 
			spare parts I salvaged from the boat I might 
			be able to fix it!

				WRONG WAY
			You can fix a Krieder Rightner KR21!?

				PROFESSOR
			Well I'll certainly give it a try!

				WRONG WAY
			That's the spirit!! You…you fix her up I'll 
			fly her right out!

				GILLIGAN
			Mr. Wrong Way? You're the best thing that 
			ever happened to us!

				WRONG WAY
			Oh just a minute now tha…tha.there's much 
			work to be done!

				SKIPPER
			That's right men we've got much work to do!
			Wrong Way, the supply huts this way.

	Skipper point in the direction of the supply hut and as 
	soon as they start to leave the clearing, Wrong Way 
	turns the wrong way and starts to walk in the opposite 
	direction. After a few steps he realizes his mistake 
	and turns around and follow the Skipper, Gilligan and 
	the professor out of the clearing.

FADE TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - DAY - LATER

	The Skipper and Professor are busy working on the 
	airplane trying to make if flight worthy. 

				SKIPPER
			Professor this bolts the wrong size see if 
			there's some others in the tool box will ya?

				PROFESSOR
			Alright skip.

	We pan over to see Wrong Way relaxing. Gilligan is 
	sitting next to Wrong Way having a conversation as 
	Wrong Way sips on something. 

PAN OVER: CLOSE SHOT - WRONG WAY/GILLIGAN

				WRONG WAY
			Possibly this Papaya punch is partly past 
			it's prime. (pause)
			Well it's hard to believe, planes without 
			propellers, six hundred miles an hour!

				GILLIGAN
			And some go even faster.

				WRONG WAY
			Yes, I certainly must have missed a lot.
			New planes, new inventions, n…no more rumble 
			seats, n…no more Liberty magazine.

				GILLIGAN
			And you missed the second world war!

				WRONG WAY
			The SECOND world war! So that's what that 
			was! I always wondered what that noise was!

				GILLIGAN
			Do you remember the first world war?

				WRONG WAY
			Do ya…do I reme…I was an ACE my boy an ACE! 
			Oh that was a big one, no picnic up there! 
			Dodgin them bullets, divin in and out in my 
			Bristol Scout. Oh and I met some great pilots 
			in them days. You should have seen my wing 
			man Buckey Lorenzo.

				GILLIGAN
			He was good huh?

				WRONG WAY
			Good!? Th…they still talk about one flight he 
			made! He downed three German planes an…and 
			strafed a railroad yard.

				GILLIGAN
			Sure is a great story! He must have been 
			decorated!

				WRONG WAY
			No he was Court Marshaled.

				GILLIGAN
			Why?

				WRONG WAY
			Cause it was three years after the war was 
			over. Poor Buckey, certainly upset the 
			President.

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - DAY 

				SKIPPER
			It's no good professor, these bolts just 
			aren't usable.

				PROFESSOR
			I've got an idea.

	The professor walks over to Wrong Way still relaxing.

				PROFESSOR
			I got some rusty bolts here. You got any 
			penetrating oil Wrong Way?

				WRONG WAY
			Penetrating oil. Oh certainly, with my 
			provisions.

				PROFESSOR
			Good, lets go get it. With luck we should be 
			through here in a couple of hours.

			Wrong Way gets up and starts to walk with the 
			professor. Gilligan is following right behind them.

				WRONG WAY
			Oh luck, that's something everybody can use 
			one time or another. I remember once that 
			three Hinies come at me out of the sun…

	Wrong Way continues to tell his tale to the professor 
	as they walk off.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan! Would you mind coming here a 
			moment?

	Gilligan was trying to listen to Wrong Way's story. 
	He'd rather listen then work but stops and makes his 
	way over to the airplane.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey skipper? Can I go with Wrong Way?


				SKIPPER
			Don't you want to help me little buddy?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yes sir.

				SKIPPER
			Thanks a lot Gilligan, now would you mind 
			checking that rear wheel I think it's loose.

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

				SKIPPER
			I'll lift the tail.

	Gilligan disappears behind the plane as the skipper 
	with great effort, lifts the tail of the plane. We cut 
	to below the plane as Gilligan is seen twisting the 
	tail wheel back and forth.

				SKIPPER
			Well!?

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah it's a little loose.

				SKIPPER
			How Loose!?

	Gilligan twists some more and the wheel comes off the 
	plane. Gilligan, with tail wheel in hand pops up behind 
	the skipper to show him.

				GILLIGAN
			This loose!

				SKIPPER
			    (VERY STRAINED)
			Gilligan, get something to put under the tail 
			of the plane so we can put the wheel back 
			on!!!

				GILLIGAN
			I'll get that rock over there!

	Gilligan points to a huge boulder behind him and sets 
	out to lift it. He's trying very hard to move the 
	boulder, but it doesn't budge. The skipper sees how 
	futile his efforts are and becomes agitated.

				GILLIGAN
			I can't move it skipper!

				SKIPPER
			       (STRAINED)
			Would you like me to help you Gilligan!?

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah that's a good idea!

	The skipper has had enough.

				SKIPPER
			    (VERY STRAINED)
			Oh GILLIGAN!! 
			Hurry up it's slipping!!

	The skipper is losing his grip on the plane as it 
	slowly starts to drop.

				SKIPPER
			      (STRAINED)
			It's beginning to sli…

	Gilligan is trying to help the skipper keep the plane 
	up, but his efforts are unrewarding.

				SKIPPER
				(STRAINED)
			Put it down now Gilligan!

	The plane is slowly lowered with Gilligans help.

				GILLIGAN
			It's resting on the ground.

				SKIPPER
			       (IN PAIN)
			Gilligan you think it's on the ground?
			It's on my FOOT!!

	Gilligan helps the skipper raise up the tail just 
	enough for the skipper move his foot. The skipper 
	removes his foot and looks relieved, but Gilligan is 
	still trying to hold up the tail. The skipper has let 
	go of the tail and now Gilligan is trying to keep it 
	up.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper! Skipper!! SKIPPER!!!

	The skipper realizes Gilligan is in trouble and quickly 
	helps lower the tail to the ground. Once on the ground, 
	Gilligan and the skipper look totally exhausted but 
	relieved.

FADE TO: STOCK SHOT OF OCEAN/BEACH WITH PALM TREES.

FADE TO: EXT - WRONG WAY'S HUT CLEARING - NIGHT

FADE TO: INT - WRONG WAY'S HUT - NIGHT

	Wrong Way is seen sleeping in a hammock snoring away as 
	Ginger, who has made her way into the hut, quietly 
	approaches the sleeping Wrong Way.

				GINGER
			     (WHISPERING)
			Wrong Way. 

	Wrong Way continues to sleep.

				GINGER
			     (WHISPERING)
			Wrong Way.

	Again no response, so Ginger gives him a little nudge.
	Wrong Way awakens slightly but doesn't respond.

				GINGER
			     (WHISPERING)
			Wrong Way. 
			Is there room for me?

	Wrong Way still half asleep responds.


				WRONG WAY
				(SLEEPILY)
			No, don't you have a hammock of your own?

				GINGER
			Wrong Way! I meant on the plane!
			Can you take me with you on the plane?

				WRONG WAY
			No it's a one seater.

				GINGER
			Well, I'll sit on your lap.

				WRONG WAY
			I won't be able to see where I'm goin.

				GINGER
			Well you can sit on my lap.

				WRONG WAY
			Awe my feet won't touch the pedals!

				GINGER
			Oh please Wrong Way, I've just got to get 
			back to Hollywood. If I don't get back to 
			Hollywood soon, my career will be ruined.
			Please Wrong Way. I can promise you glamorous 
			evenings. Moon lit nights. Just you and me.
	
	Wrong Way hasn't heard a word as he starts snoring 
	again, fast asleep.

				GINGER
			Think it over Wrong Way.

	Ginger gives him a little kiss before we…

FLIP TO: SAME LOCATION - LATER

	Mr. Howell quietly enters the hut and makes his way 
	towards Wrong Way. As usual, Mr. Howell is carrying his 
	teddy bear.

				MR HOWELL
				(QUIETLY)
			Wrong Way!

				WRONG WAY
			Forget the moon lit nights you ain't goin 
			with me.

				MR HOWELL
			Moon lit nights!? I'm here to make you a 
			business proposition. Look, you take me with 
			you on the plane and I'll make you vice 
			president of Howell Aircraft corporation.
			You'll be on the big board and…

	Wrong Way doesn't respond.

				MR HOWELL
			I'll make you president with stock options!

	Still no response

				MR HOWELL
			Chairman of the board with fringe benefits!

	Again, nothing.

				MR HOWELL
			Wrong Way I've got to get off this island, if 
			I don't the Howell empire will crumble, 
			it'll…one final offer Wrong Way. I'll give 
			you half interest of everything I got, my 
			industries my…I'll even give you my…my very 
			own teddy bear.

	Mr. Howell gives Wrong Way his most prized possession. 
	Wrong Way takes the teddy bear but says nothing. Mr. 
	Howell is quite upset at Wrong Ways lack of enthusiasm.

				MR HOWELL
				(SOTTO)
			A man makes a fair offer and a…

	Mr. Howell grabs his teddy bear back, turns and leave 
	the hut as we…

FADE TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - MORNING

	Wrong Way is seen inspecting his airplane and appears 
	pleased with the results. He looks as if he's ready to 
	take to the air. The rest of the castaways are standing 
	by watching.

				WRONG WAY
			Apple pie order!
			Beautiful!

	Wrong Way pats his hand on the engine cowling and finds 
	dirt on his fingers.

				WRONG WAY
			Dirt!

	Gilligan uses his shirt to rub the dirt off Wrong Ways 
	fingers. Wrong Way is now ready to fly.

				WRONG WAY
			Standby Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

				WRONG WAY
			Professor you done a great job I'm quite 
			satisfied.

				PROFESSOR
			Well thank you Wrong Way. Everyone's  worked 
			very hard.

				WRONG WAY
			Bless you all!

				MARY ANN
			Wrong Way!?

				WRONG WAY
			What?

				MARY ANN
			Oh good luck!

	With that, Mary Ann gives Wrong Way a kiss on the 
	cheek. As Wrong Way start back to the plane, he puts 
	his arm around her waist and starts to lead her to the 
	plane as if he was taking her with him. The skipper 
	sees this and pulls Mary Ann away at the last second. 
	Wrong Way looks a bit put back at loosing her.

				WRONG WAY
			Lindy had sandwiches!

	Wrong Way then gets in the plane and prepares for take 
	off. Gilligan is at the front of the plane ready to 
	help.

				MR HOWELL
			Oh Wrong Way! Remember fringe benefits, come 
			back for you know who!

				MARY ANN
			Oh When you get to Kansas would you call my 
			Uncle George and Aunt Martha please!

				GINGER
			Oh a…and when you get to Hollywood, would you 
			call my agent and his wife, who ever he's 
			married to this week!

				WRONG WAY
			Please please! I…I…I want you'z all to 
			understand, WE, ain't any more important than 
			any one of you. Although, I'll be up THERE 
			risking my life, still, it's a team that 
			counts!
			Alright! Clear the runway!

	Wrong Way takes his seat in the airplane and makes 
	ready.

				WRONG WAY
			Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir!

				WRONG WAY
			Rudder!

				GILLIGAN
			Check!

				WRONG WAY
			Left wing flap!

				GILLIGAN
			Check!

				WRONG WAY
			Right wing flap!

				GILLIGAN
			Check!

				WRONG WAY
			STAND BY!!

				GILLIGAN
			Standing by!

				WRONG WAY
			Contact!

	Gilligan gives the propeller a swing and the engine 
	sputters to life. Gilligan is flung into the skipper 
	where he ends up on the ground. Wrong Way is getting 
	ready to rev up the engine when the engine backfires 
	and the propeller falls to the ground.

FADE TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - NIGHT

	It's dark and there's a shadow seen of an unknown 
	person walking near the airplane. He grabs a wing strut 
	and starts to cut it using a hack saw as we…

								FADE OUT

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - MORNING

	As before Wrong Way in seated in the plane and making 
	preparations for take off.

				WRONG WAY
			GILLIGAN!

				GILLIGAN
			Yes Sir!

				WRONG WAY
			Stand by!

				GILLIGAN
			Standing by!

				WRONG WAY
			Alright everybody clear the runway!

				WRONG WAY
			CONTACT!

				GILLIGAN
			Contact!

	Once again Gilligan swings the propeller to get it 
	going. The engine coughs to life and this time the 
	propeller stays on. 

				ALL
			Yeh!!

				MR HOWELL
			Ah Bravo!

				WRONG WAY
			I'm taken her straight up!

				ALL
			YEH!!

	As Wrong Way looks around for a final inspections, he 
	notices something wrong with the wing support.

INSERT: CLOSE SHOT OF CUT WING SUPPORT

	Wrong Way senses the danger, and leaps out of the plane 
	and onto the ground. The professor runs over to aid 
	Wrong Way.

				PROFESSOR
			Wrong Way! Are you alright!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan cut the motor!!

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir!

	Gilligan runs to the cockpit and reaches inside to cut 
	the engine. The skipper and professor are at Wrong Ways 
	side.

				MR HOWELL
			First sign of trouble and he bails out!

				WRONG WAY
			Look at that! I wouldn't had no control of 
			the plane!

				PROFESSOR
			Your right! Someone's tampered with this 
			strut! And it was no accident!

				WRONG WAY
			What do you mean!

				PROFESSOR
			Somebody sabotaged this plane!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah and they cut the strut too!

				SKIPPER
			That's nonsense! Who'd want to wreck the 
			plane!?

				PROFESSOR
			Maybe there's someone else on this island 
			that we don't know about. 

				WRONG WAY
			Maybe one of you isn't so anxious to have me 
			fly for help.

				MARY ANN
			Oh Wrong Way don't be silly! We all want to 
			be rescued.

				GINGER
			And soon! I'm practically all out of mascara!

				MR HOWELL
			Nobodies more anxious to be rescued than we 
			are!

				MRS HOWELL
			That's right we told our chauffer to keep the 
			motor going!

				PROFESSOR
			Well somebody sabotaged this plane!

				GILLIGAN
			And cut the strut!

				WRONG WAY
			Couple a more minutes I could've been killed!

				SKIPPER
			Well from now on we're not taking any more 
			chances! We men will stand a twenty four hour 
			guard around the plane!

				MR HOWELL
			Here here!

				WRONG WAY
			     (TO MR HOWELL)
			Not you!

FADE TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - NIGHT

	Gilligan and the skipper are near the airplane late at 
	night and it's Gilligan's turn to guard the plane.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan there are no more bullets for the 
			gun. So use this bow and arrow for 
			protection.

				GILLIGAN
			Don't worry skipper I'll guard the plane.

				SKIPPER
			There you see. Now that's for protection.

	The skipper shows Gilligan how the bow and arrow works.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah.

				SKIPPER
			Now don't let anyone near the plane cause we 
			don't know who wrecked it. Not anyone at all.

				GILLIGAN
			OK

				SKIPPER
			OK?

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah

				SKIPPER
			I'll relieve you in a couple of hours little 
			buddy.

	The skipper hands the bow and arrow to Gilligan who now is 
	trying it out.

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

	The skipper walks off into the jungle on his way back 
	to camp. Gilligan is left standing near the plane with 
	the bow and arrow looking alert but afraid. He's 
	silently whistling to himself as he looks around 
	exercising the bow and arrow. Suddenly he hears a noise 
	coming from the jungle.

				GILLIGAN
			Who's there!?

				SKIPPER
			Me!

				GILLIGAN
			Who's me!?

				SKIPPER
			It's me!

				GILLIGAN
			Stay where you are me! How do I know it's 
			you!?

				SKIPPER
			Your right it's not me it's the Count of 
			Monte Cristo!

				GILLIGAN
			I knew it!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan it's the skipper I forgot my 
			lantern!

				GILLIGAN
			Say something the skipper would say!

				SKIPPER
			Put down that bow and arrow you idiot or I'll 
			break you in half!!

				GILLIGAN
			Yep it's the skipper alright!

	The skipper enters the clearing at the same time 
	Gilligan is moving his way and runs into skipper as we…

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - DAY

	The skipper and the professor are near the plane 
	waiting for Wrong Way.

				PROFESSOR
			I wonder where Wrong Way is. He said he 
			wanted to test the engine.

				SKIPPER
			Well you know how he is. With his sense of 
			direction if he started for the plane he 
			might've walk straight into the ocean!

				PROFESSOR
			I'm getting worried. Gilligan went after him 
			twenty minutes ago.

	Just then Gilligan runs out from the jungle looking 
	worried.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper! Skipper. Skipper.

				SKIPPER
			What is it Gilligan!

				ILLIGAN
			Wrong Way's gone!

				SKIPPER
			What are you talking about!?

				PROFESSOR
			Wrong Ways gone!?

				GILLIGAN
			His hut's a mess, everything's broken up and 
			thrown around! I thought maybe he's a 
			restless sleeper but…

				SKIPPER
			Are you sure!?

				GILLIGAN
			He must have put up an awful fight!

				PROFESSOR
			Yeah but against what!?

				SKIPPER
			Yeah against what!

				GILLIGAN
			I don't know, but look here's his scarf!

				SKIPPER
			We'll have to spread out and comb the island!
			Professor you take that direction! Gilligan 
			you go in the back of the island, and I'll go 
			out to the ocean! Alright!?

	Gilligan, the skipper and professor all run into each 
	ther as they try to leaving the clearing.

				SKIPPER
			Doh!

FADE TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

	Gilligan is searching for Wrong Way as he makes his way 
	through the Jungle. There's a row of bushes he's 
	passing and on the other side is Wrong Way. Wrong way 
	sees Gilligan and they start a game of walking around 
	and through the bushes. Wrong Way is trying not to be 
	seen. Eventually Gilligan parts the bushes, only to be 
	staring into the face of Wrong Way and is startled.

				GILLIGAN
			Waaahhhh! Wrong Way!!


	Wrong Way turns and runs away as Gilligan follows.
	
				GILLIGAN
			Wrong Way!? Wrong Way!?

	Wrong Way is trying to evade Gilligan and makes his way 
	to the jungle clearing where he's been staying. 
	Gilligan follows him into the clearing.

				GILLIGAN
			Boy I'm sure glad I found you!

	Gilligan looks around and doesn't see anyone else there 
	but Wrong Way.

				GILLIGAN
			Where are the kidnapers huh?

				WRONG WAY
			There ain't no kidnappers.

				GILLIGAN
			No kidnappers?

				WRONG WAY
			It was a hoax!

				GILLIGAN
			You were kidnapped by a hoax!?

				WRONG WAY
			Can't you understand Gilligan! I am a coward!

				GILLIGAN
			What!!?

				WRONG WAY
			Sure.  I'm the one who sabotaged that plane.  
			I loosened the propeller, I cut the struts. 
			After all these years I just couldn't fly 
			that plane! Oh I'm washed up, through! 
			Gilligan, I am grounding myself.

	Wrong Way removes the flying wings from his flight suit 
	and gives it to Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			The way you were talking, we all thought you 
			wanted to fly!

				WRONG WAY
			Aaaah…it was just a front for a man who has 
			lost his confidence. Ah It would have been 
			better if I'd remained lost to the world. 
			Since I ain't got nothing left to give it.

				GILLIGAN
			What about me!? You could teach me to fly! 
			And I can take that plane out of here!

				WRONG WAY
			You fly the Spirit of the Bronx!?

				GILLIGAN
			Sure!

				WRONG WAY
			Handle a Krieder Rightner KR21!?

				GILLIGAN
			With you teaching me, I can handle a 
			Krieder…Kried…

				WRONG WAY
			Krieder Rightner

				GILLIGAN
			I can handle it!

				WRONG WAY
			Yeah but Gilligan! I always fly the wrong 
			way!

				Gilligan
			That's ok! You point me in one direction and 
			I'll go in the other!

				WRONG WAY
			It just might work! At least it'd be a chance 
			to save them people.

				GILLIGAN
			We'll get started right away! I'll go tell 
			the others!

				WRONG WAY
			You'll do nothing of the kind! We'll stay 
			right here. Then when the conditions are 
			prevailed, as far as they're concerned, 
			you're going to rescue them Gilligan. And 
			Wrong Way Feldman, will remain lost to the 
			world. A legend in his own time.

				GILLIGAN
			Wrong Way, your quite a guy and, whether you 
			think so or not, you deserve these wings!

	Gilligan takes the wings Wrong Way gave him and slaps 
	them back onto Wrong Ways chest. The pins on the back 
	of the wings are driven neatly into Wrong Way's chest 
	with great pain to Wrong Way.

FADE TO: STOCK SHOT OF OCEAN/PALM TREES EVENING

FADE TO : EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - NIGHT

	The skipper is seen "guarding" the plane but is 
	obviously sleeping cause he's snoring. Suddenly he 
	hears a sound coming from the jungle and is now very 
	alert.

				SKIPPER
			Who goes there!?

	The professor comes from around the plane without 
	saying a word and scares the life out of the skipper.

				PROFESSOR
			It's my turn to…

	The skipper lets out a howl of fear as soon as the 
	professor speaks. Realizing it's only the professor, 
	the skipper is very much relieved.

				SKIPPER
			Professor Ha…ha…ha…ha, wells alls well so 
			far. Ah Gilligan will be here at six to 
			relieve you.

				PROFESSOR
			Well he's suppose to but then again you never 
			know what Gilligan will do.

				SKIPPER
			Yeah I know.

	The skipper turns and leaves to go back to his hut.

				PROFESSOR
			Good night skip.

				SKIPPER
			Good night.

FLIP TO: EXT - WRONG WAY'S HUT CLEARING - NIGHT

	We see Wrong Way and Gilligan in the clearing where 
	Gilligan found Wrong Way. Gilligan is sitting on a 
	fallen tree trunk with various fruits attached to a 
	board in front of him. Wrong Way is at his side as he 
	gives "flight" instructions.

				WRONG WAY
			Alright, one two three four we go through it again!
			The banana is the oil pressure.
			The coconut is the altitude.
			The pineapple is the speed gauge.
			The Papaya is the ignition.
			Now you gotta keep your eyes on the 
			instruments at all times. Alright now get 
			ready for take off. First thing you do is you 
			flip on the ignition.

	Gilligan reaches for the coconut.

				WRONG WAY
			No no! That's the altitude!

				GILLIGAN
			I went to turn on the Papaya instead of the 
			coconut.

				WRONG WAY
			Alright, now what's the second thing you do?

	Gilligan's leg is bouncing up and down rapidly and 
	Wrong Way is getting testy.

				WRONG WAY
			No no no what are you doing!!?

				GILLIGAN
			My foot asleep!

	Gilligan is making engine noises with is mouth as he 
	continues to receive flight instructions.

FLIP TO: SAME SCENE - LATER

				WRONG WAY
			Alright, one two three four we try it again. 
			You are flying at an altitude of thirty 
			thousand feet, suddenly you encounter head 
			winds of eighty miles an hour! Show me what 
			you do!

	Gilligan pulls back on the makeshift control stick.

				WRONG WAY
			No no your looping!!

	Gilligan then pushes forward on the stick.

				WRONG WAY
			Now your in a power dive!

	Gilligan start moving the stick around frantically and 
	ends up pulling it out. He tosses the sick aside.

				WRONG WAY
			Now your in a tail spin!!
			Look out your gonna crash!!
			Your gonna crash!

				GILLIGAN
			CRASH!!!

				WRONG WAY
			Yeah!!

				GILLIGAN
			I'm getting out of here!!

	Gilligan panics and jumps off the simulated airplane 
	and onto the ground.

				WRONG WAY
			What'd you do that for?

				GILLIGAN
			I don't think that planes too safe!

FADE TO: STOCK SHOT OCEAN/BEACH/PALM TREES

FADE TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - MORNING

	The professor is standing next to the plane waiting for 
	Gilligan to relieve him. Gilligan runs on camera.

				GILLIGAN
			Good morning professor, I'll stand guard now.

				PROFESSOR
			Oh thanks Gilligan, I'll go wake up the 
			skipper. Now that it's getting light we can 
			start looking for Wrong Way again.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah right!

	The professor takes off back to camp as Gilligan 
	watches him leave. When the professor is out of sight, 
	Gilligan signals Wrong Way.

				GILLIGAN
			      (WHISPERING)
			Pssst. Pssst! Hey wrong Way!

				WRONG WAY
			Gilligan are you sure you wanna go through 
			with this?

	Gilligan is putting on Wrong Way's filthy old flying 
	coat, helmet and goggles.
			
				GILLIGAN
			Of course!

				WRONG WAY
			Alright have you got everything straight?
			On the take off what do you do with the 
			flaps?

				GILLIGAN
			Put'em down!

				WRONG WAY
			No it's the throttle you put down!

				GILLIGAN
			I thought that was the brakes!

				WRONG WAY
			NO! You got to pay attention, now you gotta 
			very short runway you…you gotta clear them 
			trees!

				GILLIGAN
			Ah don't worry about them trees, off I go

				WORNG WAY
			Never mind the wild blue yonder just clear 
			them TREES!

	Gilligan has gotten into the cockpit with Wrong Way at 
	his side. Wrong Way is helping Gilligan with final 
	preparations.

				WRONG WAY
			Ok now first, check the instruments.

	Gilligan peers down at the instrument panel.

				GILLIGAN
			Uh oh! Uh OH!

				WRONG WAY
			Wha…What's the matter?

				GILLIGAN
			I can't fly this plane! There's no fruit in 
			hear! I know what I'll do, I got a great idea.

	Gilligan gets out of the cockpit.

				GILLIGAN
			I'll go get a Pineapple, Papaya and a coconut 
			and…

				WRONG WAY
			GILLIGAN!!!

				GILLIGAN
			I got the banana.

FLIP TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

	The sound of an airplane is heard as we see the 
	professor, the skipper, Mr. And Mrs. Howell, Ginger and 
	Mary Ann making their way through the jungle.

				PROFESSOR
			You heard it skipper it had to be our plane 
			that took off!

				SKIPPER
			Wrong Way wouldn't leave without telling us!

				MR HOWELL
			It's getting so a man can't get any sleep 
			around here!

				MRS HOWELL
			Well if it's true, I'm going to start packing 
			right after breakfast.

				GINGER

CUT TO: EXT - HUT CLEARING - CLOSE SHOT – TABLE - DAY

	We see the radio sitting on the table as the castaways 
	are standing around it listening to a news report.

				RADIO ANNOUNCER
			AND NEW YORK IS WELCOMING WRONG WAY FELDMAN 
			WITH IT'S GREATEST TICKERTAPE PARADE IN HONOR 
			OF THE MOST REMARKABLE ROUND THE WORLD FLIGHT 
			IN HISTORY. THIRTY THREE AND A HALF YEARS 
			FROM THE DAY HE LEFT THE BRONX. WRONG WAY HAS 
			TOLD THE AUTHORITIES A STRANGE STORY OF A 
			DESERTED ISLAND, WITH A GROUP OF CASTAWAYS 
			WHO HELPED HIM FIX HIS PLANE. AND THE 
			AUTHORITIES HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO 
			INVESTIGATE THIS POSSIBILITY. UNFORTUNATELY 
			WRONG WAY'S CALCULATIONS ARE SO CONFUSED THE 
			MYSTERIOUS ISLAND COULD BE LOCATED ANYWHERE 
			BETWEEN THE BAY OF NAPLES AND THE ARCTIC 
			OCEAN. CONSIDERING WRONG WAYS PAST 
			REPUTATION, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY ANOTHER 
			FANTASTIC TALE CREATED FROM WRONG WAY'S VIVID 
			IMAGINATION. IN ANY EVENT, WRONG WAY FELDMAN 
			IS ONE OF AVIATIONS GREAT HEROES, AND HE WILL 
			LONG BE REMEMBERED FOR THE GREAT HERITAGE HE 
			LEAVES US.

	The skipper turns off the radio.

				SKIPPER
			Our great hero didn't leave US much!

			Oh yes he did!

	Gilligan flips up the front of his cap to reveal…
