 					SKIPPER
 			Hi Gilligan!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hi Skipper.  The professor's checking the 
 			lobster traps.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Where's the professor.  Have you see....oh is 
 			that where he is, huh.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I'm building a birdhouse.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Say ah, what are you build....What's a 
 			birdhouse!?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			What I'm building.  You just asked me.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			No I didn't.
 
 			I was going to ask you, but you told me 
 			before I asked you.
 
 			In fact you told me about where the professor 
 			was, before I did ask you.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Don't be Silly, I can't read your mind.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well then...how...can you tell what I'm 
 			thinking!?

 					ACT ONE
 
 FADE IN:
 ESTABLISING SHOT - EXT - BEACH - DAY
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Don't be silly I can't read your mind!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			But you just did it Gilligan!
 
 			Let's try once more and I'll try and think of 
 			something.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Your thinking you shouldn't have had that 
 			fourth piece of coconut cream pie you ate for 
 			dinner last night.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			That's right Gilligan!    I just don't 
 			know.....Oh I know how, now just a minute I 
 			gave you a clue.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			You didn't say a word!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			No but my stomach growled (he laughs)
 			Now this time.....
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			You can keep your eyes open this time if you 
 			want.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh it's a trick of some sort.
 			Gilligan this time you keep your eyes closed 
 			and I'll keep my eyes open and think of 
 			something that I haven't thought about in a 
 			long time.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Your thinking about a hula dancer and a grass 
 			skirt.....Skipper!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan your right, never mind now the rest 
 			of it.....ep.....ep.....
 			Gilligan I don't understand how you do this!?
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I don't know, I'm just standing here.
 
 
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Let ME stand there!
 
 			Now YOU think of something. (pause)
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			OK.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well are you thinking of something?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Uh-huh
 
 					SKIPPER
 			I'm not getting any message.
 			What are you thinking about?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I was thinking about the time when I was ten 
 			years old and skinned my knee and Rudolf my 
 			cousin and his friend Claud we were going to 
 			the movies with Freddie with two teeth 
 			missing.....
 
 					SKIPPER
 			OH! Never mind Gilligan for goodness sake, 
 			how can I understand what your thinking when 
 			I can't even understand what your saying!?
 
 CUT TO: OUTSIDE OF HUT WITH EVERYONE ELSE SEATED AND 
 STANDING AROUND THE TABLE.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Hey everybody, Gilligan can read minds, it's 
 			the most fantastic think you've ever seen, my 
 			little buddy can read minds!
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Skipper nobody can read minds, it's a 
 			scientific impossibility.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh no now wait a minute professor, just a 
 			minute lets show him little buddy.
 			Now you tell him what I'm thinking.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			You're thinking about that hula dancer in the 
 			grass skirt.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			That's right Gilligan!
 			I even tried to fool him and I couldn't!
 
 
 
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Skipper, just because you said he read your 
 			mind doesn't mean he read it.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh now wait a minute professor.....All right 
 			then you think of something and he'll read 
 			YOUR mind.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Oh really Skipper! (Sarcastically)
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh come on professor just think of something.
 
 					GINGER
 			Oh go ahead, humor him professor.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well all right go ahead.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ah, the symbol for Aluminum is AL, its atomic 
 			number is thirteen, its atomic weight is 
 			twenty-six point nine seven.
 
 					GINGER
 			Did he really read your mind professor?
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well it must be some sort of a trick, I mean 
 			it's impossible to read minds!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well try him again professor, try him again!
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			I will, I will!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			The index of refraction is N equals SINE one 
 			over SINE R equals V one over V two.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Is that right!
 
 
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well there's no doubt about it, Gilligan read 
 			my mind!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I must have, I don't even know what I said!
 
 
 
 					MARY ANN
 			Oh Gilligan, oh Gilligan read my mind!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Um, let's see now. Your thinking of a 
 			double thick chocolate malted.....with whip 
 			cream on it.
 
 					MARY ANN
 			Oh, I was just thinking about a double thick 
 			chocolate malted.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			The whip cream was my idea.
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan. Would you read my mind?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ya.....Your thinking of Rockery Hudpeck.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Rockery Hudpeck!?
 
 					GINGER
 			Why he's right.  I was thinking of Rock 
 			Hudson and Gregory Peck but I couldn't make 
 			up my mind!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Ah, Gilligan my boy would you come over here?
 			There you are, sit down.
 			Say that you can read minds, uh, read mine.
 			Of course of course you realize the Howell 
 			mind is a little different, it's got a.....so 
 			I'll just give it a.......
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			You're hoping that the prices on your 
 			chemical stocks have gone up.
 
 					MR Howell
 			That's right, it's a lucky guess, I dare you 
 			to try it again. Just, just try it 
 			again.....I'll give it the double.....
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Your thinking that if you could read minds 
 			like me you'd have all the money in the 
 			world.
 
 					MR Howell
 			That's what I was thinking, but then that's 
 			what I'm always thinking!
 
 
 					GINGER & MARY ANN
 			Gilligan, Gilligan read my mind.....
 
 					MR Howell
 			Wait a minute girls!  Girls, girls control 
 			yourself control your self, treat this man 
 			with awe and respect!
 
 					GINGER
 			He's only just Gilligan.
 
 					MR Howell
 			Well he's Gilligan to you, but to me, he's my 
 			little Fort Knox!
 
 					GINGER & MARY ANN
 			Oh come on Mr. Howell!
 
 					MR HOWELL (yells)
 			AAAAHHHHH!
 
 CUT TO: INT - HOWELLS HUT - DAY
 
 Mrs. Howell is pacing back and forth in the hut as MR 
 Howell sits on the bed with an alarm clock.  The alarm 
 clock goes off.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			All right my dear it's my turn.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Dear Thurston, how long do we have to do this 
 			pacing thing?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Until we figure out how Gilligan reads minds.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Well why don't we just walk up to him and ask 
 			him?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well I did, I did, and he said that he didn't 
 			know.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Oh well you can believe him. If there's one 
 			thing that boy can't do is tell an untruth.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Yes I know, I know my dear, it's, it's so 
 			revolting!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Maybe it's the shape of Gilligan's head.
 
 				
 					MR HOWELL
 			The shape of his head has nothing to do with 
 			it. My uncle Eggburt's head is more pointed 
 			than his and he can't even read a menu.
 
 ALARM GOES OFF AGAIN AND THEY CHANGE PLACES.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			There you are dear.  Maybe Gilligan is having 
 			some sort of a nightmare.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 
 			You can't read minds as a result of a 
 			nightmare.
 
 			I'm having a nightmare because I can't!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			I mean maybe Gilligan, Ah, ate something that 
 			disagreed with him.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Lovey, Lovey, that's it!
 			That's it, that's his secret!
 			The food, the thing that he eats!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Well he does have a most peculiar diet.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			I shall eat the same combination of calories, 
 			proteins, carbohydrates and mud!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Oh darling, remember you have a very delicate 
 			tummy.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well let it suffer. I've got to get that 
 			secret.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Oh yes dear, but you'll toss and turn all 
 			night.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Let me toss, let me turn.  To get that secret 
 			I'll become a whirling dervish!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 CUT TO: Mr. Howell and Gilligan are seen eating at a table 
 covered with all sorts of different foods.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Clams, Oysters, Lobsters, Turtle eggs in the 
 			shell and warm coconut milk.  How can a 
 			skinny kid like you hold so much?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I don't know Mr. Howell, not until I've had a 
 			dessert.  
 
 Gilligan looks up as he smells something in the air.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Oh! Mary Ann is cooking my favorite!
 			Coconut, Papaya and Tuna fish pie!
 			Mmmm, come on Mr. Howell, it's best when it's 
 			hot!
 
 Gilligan gets up and walks off camera as Mr. Howell 
 slowly gets up and heads for his hut.  
 
 
 CUT TO:  INT - HOWELL'S HUT - DAY
 
 Mr. Howell is seen slowly walking to his bed and laying 
 down as Mrs. Howell tries to zip up her cloths.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			I feel like a beached whale!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Thurston, this isn't the time for a siesta
 			Zip me up.
 
 Mr. Howell tries to reach up to zip up Mrs. Howell and 
 can't make it.  He falls back onto the bed.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			AAAHHH.....Can't make it.
 
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Don't be ridiculous you've got to get up.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Why?
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Well it's time for dinner!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			AAAAHHHH!
 
 
 
 CUT TO: INT - HUT - DAY
 Gilligan is laying on a lounge chair as Ginger sits 
 with a pad and pencil looking like a psychiatrist.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			.....I had a happy childhood.
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan you've got to wait till I ask the 
 			question before you answer it!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ok, but I can't see how your going to figure 
 			out how I read minds by asking me what 
 			happened when I was a kid.
 	
 					GINGER
 			Well I think I can.  Now.....Did your father 
 			ever beat you?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Yes.
 
 					GINGER
 			He did!?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			All the time.
 
 					GINGER
 			And your mother let him!?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			She use to beat me too.
 
 					GINGER
 			Oh you poor thing!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			How else could I learn to play checkers?
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan will you be serious!?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I'm sorry.
 
 					GINGER
 			Now let's try something else.
 			Um.....AH.....A word association test.
 			I'll say a word and you say the first thing 
 			that pops into your head.
 
 
 
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			(Immediately after Ginger finishes last line)
 			Black
 
 					GINGER
 			I didn't say it!

 					GINGER
 			Boy
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Oh.....A.....Oh boy.....Atta boy!?
 
 					GINGER
 			How about girl?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			(Thinks a moment)
 			Yeah!  Boy girl!, yeah
 
 Gilligan hands Ginger some seeds to eat.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Here, have some.
 
 					GINGER
 			Oh Gilligan it's no use. Even Sigmond Fraud 
 			couldn't solve this
 
 She pauses and starts to walk out.
 
 			IF I see him I'll tell him.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Tell who?
 
 
 					GINGER
 			The Skipper.  You just asked me.....
 			Gilligan I just read your mind!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			How did you do it? How do I do it? How do we 
 			do it?
 
 					GINGER
 			(holds up seed)
 			This!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			So that's how we do it!
 
 					GINGER
 			Then they can't be ordinary sun flower seeds.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Guess not.
 
 					GINGER
 			Well,just to make sure it's the seed, let's 
 			try to read each others mind.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ok....... (pause)
 			I know what your thinking.
 
 					GINGER
 			I know what YOUR thinking.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I know you know what I'm thinking.
 
 					GINGER
 			I know that you know that I know that you 
 			know what your thinking.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I know that you know that I know that you 
 			know that I know you know what I'm 
 			thinking.....I think.
 
 					GINGER
 			I know that you know that I know what your 
 			thinking, that I.....that's right, let's go 
 			tell the others.

 CUT TO: EXT - HUT - DAY
 The skipper and the professor are still having an 
 argument about reading minds.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			...And I still say that Gilligan can read 
 			minds!
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Medical science says he can't!
 
 					SKIPPER
 
 			Well medical science is wrong!
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Medical science is NEVER wrong!
 
 Gilligan and Ginger come running on camera
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hey, hey Ginger can read minds just like me!
 
 					GINGER
 			That's right I can read minds just like 
 			Gilligan! Even if HE doesn't think so.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			And WHAT does medical science think about 
 			THAT!?
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well, in order to justify such a fantastic 
 			claim, I would have to perform laboratory 
 			tests with strict controls.
 
 
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh never mind professor for goodness sakes.  
 			I'll test her myself. 
 			Now go ahead Ginger, start reading.
 
 					GINGER
 			AH...,thirty six, twenty two, thirty six
 			(She gives the skipper the tisk tisk tisk sound)
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh well Ginger I was trying to figure out the 
 			longitude and latitude of....this Island.
 
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Oh no you weren't skipper.  You were thinking 
 			about Ginger's....
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Never mind Gilligan.  Alright 
 			now...ah.professor you go ahead, you test her.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			All right Ginger, read my mind.
 
 					GINGER
 			Thirty six, twenty two, thirty six.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			We...well that's just the atomic weight of 
 			sodium hydrochloride.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			OH no professor, you were thinking about 
 			Ginger's.....
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Never mind Gilligan, all right Ginger what 
 			happened? Did Gilligan tell you...
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan didn't teach me anything.  All you 
 			have to do is eat one of these sun flower 
 			seeds, which isn't a sunflower seed at all!
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Why that's fantastic!  You know there's a 
 			chapter on these seeds in my book on rare 
 			tropical plants.  It says the last bush died 
 			over three centuries ago.
 
 
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well who ever wrote that book is a blooming 
 			idiot.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well I'll ignore that, but according to 
 			legend, which now appears to be fact, these 
 			seeds were used by the ancient mystics to 
 			induce telepathic communication, a form of 
 			mind reading.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			And it works professor!
 
 
 
 
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well, I'll have to re-read that chapter.
 
 			Professor gets up and leaves.  Ginger gets up 
                  also and runs after the professor.
 
 					GINGER
 			Oh professor, my seed!
 
 Skipper stretches and pretends to be tired.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh hum little buddy, I think it's time to hit 
 			the sack.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			That's not what your thinking. Your thinking 
 			that if you get me alone you'll make me tell 
 			you where the bush is.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Who me!?  Now Gilligan...
 
 CUT TO: INT - HUT - NIGHT
 Gilligan is in the bottom hammock and the skipper is in 
 the top sleeping.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan.  Gilligan.  I've always taken care 
 			of you haven't I? It's always been share and 
 			share alike with us hasn't it?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Please skipper I'm trying to get some sleep.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			All I'm asking is one simple thing.  Let's 
 			keep the location of that bush a secret. Just 
 			between you and me. OK?
 
 Gilligan starts to snore.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan.  Gilligan.  I've always taken care 
 			of you haven't I? I mean, it's always been 
 			share and share alike with us hasn't it?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Oh who put that record back on again.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan. Just say yes and then you can go 
 			back to sleep.
 
 
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Yes what?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Just say yes skipper.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Yes skipper.
 
 Skipper thinks he's gotten through to Gilligan and is 
 pleased with himself.  He goes back to sleep.
 
 CUT TO: INT - HUT - NIGHT
 
 Mrs. Howell is in bed and Mr. Howell is sitting on the 
 edge of his bed thinking.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Thurston, aren't you ever going to sleep?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			I'm thinking.
 
 					MRS Howell
 			What about?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Those seeds of course.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Gilligan promised to show us the mind reading 
 			bush in the morning.
 
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			I just don't trust him.
 		
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Don't trust Gilligan!?  But that's 
 			ridiculous, he's the sole of honor.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well it so happens the sole of honor is 
 			bunking with Sinbad the Sailor.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Oh, you don't mean you don't trust the 
 			captain?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			That kind of trust made Julius Caesar a pin 
 			cushion my dear, yes.
 
 
 Mr. Howell walks out of the hut.
 
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			I never knew that Julius Caesar was a 
 			pincushion?
 
 CUT TO: INT - HUT - NIGHT
 
 Mr. Howell enters Gilligan's hut.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Gilligan are you asleep?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ah, No...not now, I was, what's wrong Mr. 
 			Howell?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			SHHHHHHHHHH
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			That's what I say SHHHHHHHHHHHH
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Gilligan, there's a little business deal I 
 			want to talk over with you.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Can't we talk about it in the morning?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			No...no no no...no no, mornings too late.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Mr. Howell I'm too pooped.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Not Mr. Howell, Thurston.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ok Mr. Thurston.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Not Mr. Thurston, just plain old Thurston, 
 			and since we're partners, Why not thirsty?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Partners?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			That's right. In the seed deal.  Fifty-fifty
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Fifty-fifty?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Ah...Sixty-Forty
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Sixty-forty?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Seventy-thirty, that's final, I won't let you 
 			take anything less.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Ok Mr. Howell I'll sleep on it.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			And tomorrow you put the seeds in my hands 
 			for safe keeping, right?  No need to answer 
 			my boy.  Just a simple nod of the head.
 
 Mr. Howell physically moves Gilligan's head up and down 
 in a nodding motion.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			That's it, yes indeed, perfectly legal...even 
 			have a witness.
 
 Mr. Howell leaves Gilligan's hut just as he sees Ginger 
 walking over the Gilligan's hut.  They see each other 
 and both fake sleep walking.  After Mr. Howell is out 
 of sight, Ginger goes in to the hut.
 
 
 CUT TO: INT - HUT - NIGHT
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			SHHHHHH...Gilligan is sleeping.
 
 					GINGER
 			Wake up I've got to talk to you.
 
 						GILLIGAN
 			Tomorrow huh?
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan, you like me don't you?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I'll like you better tomorrow, I promise.
 
 					GINGER
 			Gilligan will you promise me one thing?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hmmm?
 
 					GINGER
 			The seeds will be our secret?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I won't even tell you.
 
 					GINGER
 			Promise?
 	
 Gilligan doesn't answer.
 
 			Gilligan?
 
 			Gilligan?  Tonight we share a kiss.  Tomorrow 
 			the seeds.
 
 She kisses Gilligan who promptly starts to snore.
 
 CUT TO: EXT - HUT - DAY
 
 Everyone is seated around the table except Gilligan 
 who's nowhere to be seen.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh I don't know how Gilligan could break a 
 			promise to his big buddy.
 
 					GINGER
 			It's the last time I share a secret with him!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Who'd believe Gilligan could pull a trick 
 			like that.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Well darling, what did he say to you when you 
 			went to visit him in the night?
 
 Mr. Howell shushes her.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			I don't know why your all so upset.
 
 					GINGER
 			Well Gilligan just up and left without saying 
 			where he was going.

 			Oh that's not true. He told me he was going 
 			to go out and get the seeds and bring them 
 			back here.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Bring them here!?  With all of us watching!?
 
 					GINGER
 			I'll never trust him again.
 
 
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well if you could read his mind you'd know 
 			exactly where he went.
 
 					GINGER
 			I tried that last night but it didn't work.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			The effect is only temporary.  I did some reading 
                  about those seeds last night...
 
 Gilligan enters on camera from behind the hut.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hi everybody!  I'm back!  I promised plenty 
 			of seeds for everyone and here they are!
 
 He holds up six bags of seeds. Everyone leaps up and 
 scrambles to get a bag from Gilligan.
 
 
 
 CUT TO: INT - HUT - DAY
 
 The Howells are seated back to back getting ready to 
 read each others mind.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Ready Lovey?
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Ready.
 
 Both eat a seed.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Rather like the flavor of truffles haven't 
 			they.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Never mind what they taste like, lets just 
 			see if they work.
 
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			I think a little Hollandaise sauce would 
 			improve the them.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			This isn't a receipt contest, now Lovey, 
 			Um...think of something.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			All right.  (giggles)
 
 			Ready.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			You've changed your mind.  Instead of 
 			Hollandaise sauce, you think they'd taste 
 			better with sauce bernaise.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Oh darling how clever of you! You read my 
 			mind exactly!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Yes, now now I'll I'll think of somethings
 			Better take a booster shot.
 
 He eats another seed.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Really Thurston how can you!?
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			But Lovey!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			I don't mind you stealing from the others, 
 			but to steal seeds from your own wife!  Oh! Oh! 
                  Why did I ever marry you!? Oh!
 
 CUT TO: EXT - HUT - DAY
 
 Skipper and Gilligan are repairing the outside of the 
 hut.  Skipper is standing on a box while Gilligan helps 
 him.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			OK skipper sure.  Here it is.
 	
 He hands skipper a hammer.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			This mined reading sure beats talking a mile.  
 			I don't have to give every order twice!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			A lot quieter too.
 
 Gilligan winces with pain.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Do you have to yell that loud!?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Why I didn't say a word.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Yeah, but you were thinking so loudly.
 
 
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Hand me that bamboo pole.
 
 Gilligan grabs a pole and as he backs up, he 
 accidentally pushes the skipper through the wall of the 
 hut that he was repairing.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan!  You are...you...
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			A nincompoop, that's what your thinking!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			EXACTLY!  And not only that I...
 
 			What do you mean if I hadn't been so fat this 
 			wouldn't have happened!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Oh!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			That's exactly what your were thinking!
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I know but...
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan!!!
 
 CUT TO: INT - GIRLS HUT - DAY
 
 Mary Ann and Ginger are in the middle of an argument.
 
 					MARY ANN
 			HAH! Is that so!?
 
 					GINGER
 			Yes that's so! And not only that...
 
 			I'm a what!!?
 
 					MARY ANN
 			I'm glad you can read my mind, I'm too much 
 			of a lady to say those things.
 
 					GINGER
 			Well here's something for you!
 
 					MARY ANN
 			OH!!!
 
 					GINGER
 			OH!!!
 
 
 CUT TO: EXT - HOWELL'S HUT - DAY
 
 Mr. Howell comes out of his hut in a huff and slams the 
 door.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			And the same goes for your brother!
 
 Mr. Howell passes the professor who is sitting at a 
 table as Gilligan walks up to the professor.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hi professor can I talk to you?
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Wouldn't you prefer to think at me?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			NO it's the last thing I want to do.  I just 
 			had a terrible think fight with the skipper.  
 			You should have heard some of the terrible 
 			thoughts he thought at me.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well it's not just you and the skipper.  The 
 			girls aren't speaking to each other, and the 
 			Howells have just had a violent argument.  
 			Actually, considering all the months we've 
 			spent on this island, those are the first 
 			real fights we've had.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I thought we'd just get along great if 
 			everybody could read each other's minds.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			So did I.  You know, I thought those seeds 
 			might even help world peace when we're 
 			rescued.  I thought that if all the countries 
 			in the world could only...
 			What do mean that's a stupid idea!?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			All I mean is if the seven of us taking the 
 			seeds just can't get along...
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			I know what you mean, but that's no reason to 
 			be insulting!
 
 The professor gets up and storms off camera.
 
 CUT TO: Everyone is around the table looking upset and 
 arguing. Gilligan sees everyone arguing and walks off into the 
 jungle.
 
 
 					GINGER
 			You don't think I do my share of the work do 
 			you!?
 
 					MARY ANN
 			I didn't say that!
 
 					GINGER
 			But you thought it!
 
 					MARY ANN
 			Hah! So you think you do more work around 
 			here than I do! Hah that's a laugh!
 
 
 					GINGER
 			OH! So I loaf and try to get Gilligan and 
 			skipper to do my work do I!?  Well!
 
 CUT TO: Professor and skipper.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			I should stop using my head and start using 
 			my back for a change huh!?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well I...Oh well you've got a lot of nerve 
 			thinking that if it wasn't for you, we 
 			couldn't have survived all this time!
 
 CUT TO: The Howells arguing.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			If I knew you had thoughts like that I never 
 			would have married you!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well I'm finding out a few things that you 
 			think, and how few thinks you have!
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			OH PEW!!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			PEW!!
 
 CUT TO: Ginger, skipper and Mary Ann arguing.
 
 					GINGER
 			Mary Ann is under the impression that I've 
 			been getting you to do my work for me.
 
 She reacts with surprise.
 
 			So YOU think so too!?  Well do you know what 
 			I think!?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			I most certainly do! OH!
 
 					MARY ANN
 			And that goes for me too!
 
 Both Ginger and Mary Ann storm off camera.
 
 Mr. Howell walks up to the skipper.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well they certainly told you off.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh I couldn't care less what they think.  It 
 			burns me up, the professor thinks that I...
 
 			OH, so you think I'm responsible for our 
 			being marooned too!!
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well it certainly wasn't my fault!
 
 Mrs. Howell comes up to Mr. Howell.
 
 					MRS HOWELL
 			Thurston give me some of your seeds I'm all 
 			out of them and I want to read your mind.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Well I haven't any more.  I'll go back to the 
 			bush and get some more.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Not if I get em first!
 
 
 CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - Day
 	
 We see Gilligan setting the bush on fire. The others 
 are looking for Gilligan.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			I think I saw Gilligan go this way.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			I'll pay the rest of you a thousand dollars a 
 			piece for the seeds.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Well there he is!
 
 
 
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Where...Gilligan!
 
 			What are you doing there little buddy?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			I'm burning the bush with the mind reading 
 			seeds.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			Th...The seeds, the seeds!
 
 Mr. Howell runs to the bush and trys to grab it.
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			OW!! That smarts, I burned my little pinky!
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Did you burn all the seeds?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Yep, the whole bush and everything.
 
 			Oh I suppose you think it's the dumbest thing 
 			I ever did.  But we never fought and argued 
 			before we could read minds.  And now that we 
 			can't read minds, maybe we could be friends 
 			again? Huh?
 
 
 			OK if everybody wants to yell at me for being 
 			a dumb bell go ahead.
 
 					PROFESSOR
 			Gilligan, for a guy who's always doing dumb 
 			things.  When you do something smart, it's 
 			beautiful.
 
 Professor walks off camera
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			And your not mad? (to Mr. Howell)
 
 					MR HOWELL
 			No I'm not mad, even though I lost a fortune.
 			(He walks off camera)
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hmm?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			You know what I think?
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			No I don't
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well it's a shame because, really it was 
 			something nice.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Thanks skipper.

 EPILOG
 
 FADE IN: INT - HUT - NIGHT
 
 Gilligan and the skipper are in their hammocks.  
 Gilligan is in the top and the skipper is in the 
 bottom.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Gilligan?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hmmm?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Reading peoples minds can cause more trouble 
 			than a hurricane.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			And how!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Umm, Gilligan?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hmm?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Are you sure you destroyed all the seeds?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Every single one of them.
 
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh that's good.  Now we can get something 
 			done around here.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Yah right.
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Oh, ah Gilligan?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Hmm?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			I have a list of things for you to do 
 			tomorrow.
 
 
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			But I was going to go fishing tomorrow!
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Well Gilligan, nobody says you can't go 
 			fishing.  I mean, after you bring up some 
 			fire wood, bring up some well water, dig a 
 			drainage ditch, fix the lobster traps, and 
 			then after breakfast...
 
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Skipper?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			Yes Gilligan?
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			Do you know what I think?
 
 					SKIPPER
 			No.
 
 					GILLIGAN
 			That's good!
 
 Puts his hat over his face and goes to sleep.
