				TEASER
FADE IN

EXT – CLEARING – DAY

	Ginger and Skipper are in the clearing. The Skipper 
	has a tablecloth over his front and Ginger is 
	cutting his hair.

				SKIPPER
			Please, Ginger, not too much off the top!
 
				Ginger
			Just a little bit more, Skipper.

				SKIPPER
			But I believe you're part Indian...you're 
			trying to scalp me!

				Ginger
			You're a sailor. Sailors should have crew 
			cuts.

				SKIPPER
			Well I don't mind a crew cut, but you're 
			trying to remove the entire crew!

	Gilligan comes into the clearing, carrying a large 
	dead log.

				GINGER
			All finished!

				GILLIGAN
			Got time for me, Sam?

				GINGER
			Tomorrow morning at eleven.

				GILLIGAN
			Thanks.

				SKIPPER
			"Sam?"

				GINGER
			Oh, that's the name of his barber back 
			home.

	Ginger leaves. Gilligan sets down the log in front 
	of the SKIPPER.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, don't put that there, somebody 
			will trip over it!

				GILLIGAN
			Sorry, Baldy.

				SKIPPER
			Baldy?!

	The Skipper picks up a pan that he and Ginger had 
	been using as a mirror and glances at his haircut.

				SKIPPER
			Oh, very funny.

	Groaning, he gets up and promptly trips over the 
	log.

				GILLIGAN
			You were right. Somebody tripped over it.

	Skipper scowls at Gilligan and tries to pick up the 
	log. It refuses to move.

				GILLIGAN
			I'll get it for you, Skipper.

	Gilligan picks up the log with no apparent difficulty.

				GILLIGAN
			Here, anything else you want me to do?

	The Skipper thinks for a minute.

				SKIPPER
			Yes Gilligan. Er..., go out and get some 
			more firewood.

				GILLIGAN
			Okay.

	Gilligan heads off into the forest. Again, the Skipper 
	tries to pick up the log, but can't budge it. He 
	continues to try to move the log until the Professor 
	enters the clearing and picks up the log, quite 
	easily.

				PROFESSOR
			Ah, that's just what I was looking for!
			Thanks.

	The Skipper does a double take, staring at the 
	Professor in disbelief as we…
								FADE OUT




				ACT ONE
FADE IN

INT - PROFESSOR'S HUT - DAY

	The Skipper and Professor are in the Professor's hut. The 
	Professor is examining the Skipper with a crude 
	stethoscope apparently made out of vine and what 
	appears to be coconut shell.

				PROFESSOR
			Cough.

	The Skipper complies, sounding rather as though he has 
	a serious case of pneumonia. Gilligan bounces perkily 
	into the hut.

				PROFESSOR
			Well your heart seems sound enough. 
			Perhaps it's your blood pressure.

				GILLIGAN
			Any luck, Professor?

				PROFESSOR
			Well, at least we know it isn't his heart 
			or his lungs.

				GILLIGAN
			I think it's his haircut.

	The Skipper sighs exasperatedly.

				SKIPPER
			Don't pay any attention to him, 
			Professor.

	Gilligan sets a bottle down on the table in front of 
	the Skipper.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper this is my hair tonic. Just rub 
			it in your hair three times a day and 
			when your hair gets real long you…

				SKIPPER
			Thanks a lot Gilligan, but no thanks.

	The Professor takes out another crude medical 
	instrument.
			
				PROFESSOR
			Skipper, your blood pressure is VERY 
			high.

				Skipper
			(glaring at Gilligan)
			Well, no wonder, with him around here!

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan, perhaps you'd better leave.

				GILLIGAN
			No I want to stay and watch!

				PROFESSOR
			Well I'm going to make a blood test. And 
			ah…the sight of blood won't ah…disturb 
			you will it?

				GILLIGAN
			Are you kidding, do you think I am 
			chicken?

				PROFESSOR
			       (TO SKIPPER)
			Give me your arm.

	The Professor dips a cotton ball in a bottle of 
	something and starts swabbing the Skipper's arm. He 
	then takes out a needle. Gilligan stares for a second 
	and then leaves the hut, disturbing the peace with a 
	bad impression of a chicken. 

FADE TO: EXT – HUT - CLEARING

	The Skipper is doing push-ups. Mr. Howell 
	is reading in a nearby lounge chair. The 
	Professor runs up to the Skipper..

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper! Skipper! I got the results of 
			the tests!

				SKIPPER
			And?

				PROFESSOR
			I'm afraid it's worse than I thought.

				SKIPPER
			Oh, tell me the worst.

				PROFESSOR
			The lack of citrus fruits in our diet has 
			caused a severe vitamin deficiency. 
			Vitamin C is completely lacking.

				MR HOWELL
			Fortunately, we Howells never use the 
			stuff, we depend on bottled and bond for 
			our strength.

				PROFESSOR
			Mr. Howell, this applies to each and 
			every one of us. However, the skipper 
			being the largest…

				MR HOWELL
			You mean the fattest.

				SKIPPER
			I know what he means Howell!

				PROFESSOR
			Gentlemen, gentlemen, there is no time 
			for that! Now without citrus fruits this 
			vitamin deficiency will attack each of 
			us.

				MR HOWELL
			Even a Howell?

				PROFESSOR
			Yes, even a Howell. It will attack each 
			of us in turn according to his size.

				MR HOWELL
			Good heavens, that means I'm the next!

				PROFESSOR
			Yes, myself, and then Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
			Wha…wha…what about the girls? Will it 
			affect them?

				PROFESSOR
			Yes, Mrs. Howell, and Ginger, and then 
			finally Mary Ann. But don't panic 
			gentleman, we're not dead yet.

				MR HOWELL
			Well maybe not, but we're definitely 
			headed in that direction!

FLIP TO: STOCK SHOT HUT EXTERIOR  (Transcripers note: Howell's hut…wrong!)

CUT TO: INT – SKIPPER & GILLIGAN'S HUT – NIGHT

	The Skipper is in his hammock and Gilligan is sitting 
	at the table.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, I've made a decision.

				GILLIGAN
			About what?

				SKIPPER
			About the way I've been acting. I mean 
			after all, I am the captain, I'm the 
			Skipper! I should be setting an example 
			for the others. 

				GILLIGAN
			What are you going to do?

				SKIPPER
			What am I going to do? I'll tell you what 
			I'm going to do. Gilligan, I'm going to 
			put up a front. I'm going to be cheerful. 
			I'm going to show them a real man doesn't 
			let a little thing like this bother him. 

	Gilligan nods distractedly and takes out an orange.

				SKIPPER
			And oh, little buddy, you're going to be 
			real proud of me and…
			That's an orange!

				GILLIGAN
			I know. I was going to have it for 
			dessert, but I changed my mind. The less 
			I weigh, the longer I live!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, do you realize that you have my 
			life in the palm of your hand? My LIFE!

				GILLIGAN
			No, I don't, I have an orange!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, where did you get it? Where?

				GILLIGAN
			In the jungle.

				SKIPPER
			In the jungle!

	Skipper runs to the door.

				SKIPPER
			EVERYBODY...ORANGES IN THE JUNGLE!!! 
			Where in the jungle!? 

				GILLIGAN
			It's not too far.

				SKIPPER
			Well show me Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Well this is the last one!

				SKIPPER
			The last one? Oh, no!

	All the other castaways run to the door.

				MR HOWELL
			Oranges!? Oranges!? Did someone say 
			oranges!?

				SKIPPER
			Oranges? Oranges? Um...I didn't hear 
			anyone say anything about oranges!

				MRS HOWELL
			I distinctly heard someone say "Oranges 
			in the jungle!"

				GINGER
			So did I!

	Gilligan holds up the orange.

				GILLIGAN
			But this is the last one!

	Gilligan tries to keep the orange out of reach as 
	everyone tries to grab it.

FADE TO: STOCK SHOT GLARING SUN

CUT TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – MORNING

	The castaways are all sitting at the table. Gilligan 
	comes in and sets the orange down on the table.

				GILLIGAN
			I've decided to give everyone a slice.

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan! King Solomon couldn't have done 
			better!

				SKIPPER
			It's the only fair thing you could do, 
			little buddy.

				GINGER
			I think someone aught to say something? 
			After all, it IS a special occasion.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh, Thurston's awfully good at that sort 
			of thing. Say something appropriate dear.

				MR HOWELL
			Anyone care to sell his slice?

				MARY ANN
			Mr. Howell!

				PROFESSOR
			While it is a noble gesture Gilligan. 
			Unfortunately a single slice won't do us 
			any good.

				SKIPPER
			Well I think we aught to vote it to the 
			person who needs it the most...me!

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper I wanted to share the orange.

				SKIPPER
			Up…but I'm your buddy!

				MR HOWELL
			Well you may be his buddy, but I'm a very 
			rich millionaire!

				PROFESSOR
			Now just a moment. Lets try to be 
			sensible about this. I mean after all…

INSERT: FULL SCREEN GLARING SUN

				PROFESSOR
				  (O.S)
			…there's a logical answer to every 
			problem.

INSERT: CLOSE UP ORANGE ON TABLE

				MRS HOWELL
				  (O.S)
			Oooo…well the logical thing is to give…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			…me the orange. I do so much charity 
			work.

				SKIPPER
			Bu…but I'm the one who's sick right now!

				GINGER
			But it's ladies first, Skipper!

				MARY ANN
			It's women and children first. Therefore 
			I get two votes!

				GILLIGAN
			Can I say something?

				MR HOWELL
			Gilligan keep quiet will you!? Can't you 
			see we're very busy!?

				PROFESSOR
			Please please please! Now let's remember 
			that even though this is a crisis we're 
			all friends. I'm…

INSERT: FULL SCREEN GLARING SUN

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			…sure that each of us has his reason for 
			believing that we deserve…

INSERT: CLOSE UP SHRIVLING ORANGE ON TABLE

			…the orange.

				MARY ANN
				 (O.S.)
			I'm a member of the four H!

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			Wa…well I'm a veteran!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is watching the orange slowly shrivel up.

				GINGER
				(O.S.)
			Well, I'm a movie star!

				MRS HOWELL
				 (O.S.)
			I'm a member of the… 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

			…D A R!

				MR HOWELL
			I'm Thurston Howell the Third, anyone 
			care to top that?

	The castaways continue arguing.

				GILLIGAN
			Can I say something now?

				SKIPPER
			What is it, Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			I know how to stop all the arguing.

				SKIPPER
			And would you mind telling us how?

				GILLIGAN
			Look!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SUN SHRIVLED ORANGE ON TABLE

								FADE OUT



				ACT TWO
FADE IN

	CLOSE UP OF SUN SHRIVELED ORANGE ON TABLE

				PROFESSOR
			Well we have no one to blame but 
			ourselves. Our dissention has led us over 
			the precipice to destruction; our greed 
			has pushed us to the brink of disaster.

				GILLIGAN
			And not only that, but the sun shrunk up 
			the orange!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, he just said that!

				GILLIGAN
			Not as plain as me.

				MARY ANN
			Oh to think I'll never see Kansas again.

				GILLIGAN
			Or California or North Dakota or 
			North…Nebraska or South Carolina or 
			Oklahoma or Texas…

				SKIPPER
			Cut that out Gilligan!

				GINGER
			Oh I can't believe it. Do I look like I 
			have a vitamin deficiency!?

				PROFESSOR
			Ginger, you don't look like you have a 
			deficiency of anything.

				GINGER
			Thank you professor.

				PROFESSOR
			But you do! We all do!

				MR HOWELL
			An orange, an orange, my kingdom for an 
			orange!

				MRS HOWELL
			Your kingdom? Oh, really Thurston!

				MR HOWELL
			Would you believe half of my kingdom? A 
			third of my kingdom? A little quarter of 
			my kingdom, baby?

				SKIPPER
			Oh, Mr. Howell, we're in real trouble 
			with this orange dried up like that!

				GILLIGAN
			I might as well give it a decent burial.

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan! That's it! A burial!

				GILLIGAN
			I'm not even sick yet!

				PROFESSOR
			Oh, not you! The seeds! We'll plant the 
			seeds and grow our own orange trees!

				MARY ANN
			What a wonderful idea! And we'll have 
			plenty of oranges!

				SKIPPER
			Why didn't we think of that before!? 
			Everything grows form seeds!

				GILLIGAN
			Not everything.

				SKIPPER
			Yes Gilligan everything. Orange trees 
			grown from orange seeds, Apple trees grow 
			from apple seeds and watermelons 
			grow from watermelon seeds!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah but birds don't grow from bird 
			seeds!

	Gilligan shrugs and whips out his pocketknife to cut 
	open the orange. 

FADE TO: MR & MRS HOWELL'S HUT - DAY

	Mr. and Mrs. Howell sitting at table in their hut, 
	with the orange seeds.
	
				MR HOWELL
			Lovey, Lovey my dear, aren't they just 
			beautiful?

				MRS HOWELL
			You must be seeing something I don't see!

				MR HOWELL
			No I see thousands of orange trees, 
			springing out of the ground!

				MRS HOWELL
			Well, all I see are a lot of nasty pits!

				MR HOWELL
			No look beyond the horizon, beyond 
			tomorrow! I see Valencia oranges, 
			mandarin oranges, Navel oranges...we'll 
			be up to our navel in Navels!

				MRS HOWELL
			All those from these?

				MR HOWELL
			Well it's not quite that easy. First of 
			all we have to plant them.

				MRS HOWELL
			Plant them? In the dirt? With our hands?

				MR HOWELL
			Well I believe that's the usual way.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh dear then it's not for us.

	Gilligan appears at the window.

				GILLIGAN
			C'mon, everyone's planting their seeds!

				MR HOWELL
			Yes, unless we cooperate we'll be going 
			to the great orange grove in the sky.

				MRS HOWELL
			OK when we go Thurston we go with clean 
			hands!

FLIP TO: EXT – GARDEN CLEARING - DAY

	Mary Ann, Ginger, Skipper and Gilligan are sitting on 
	the ground. Professor is sitting at a nearby table 
	reading a book. 

PAN/ZOOM: CLOSE SHOT – MARY ANN & GINGER

				GINGER
			Oh let's face it, Mary Ann, I don't know 
			what to do with this!

				MARY ANN
			Oh, in Kansas we plant wheat, not citrus 
			fruit.


				GINGER
			All I know about oranges is that in 
			Florida people grow them to sell to 
			people in California, who grow them to 
			send to people in Florida.

				MARY ANN
			Well, when in doubt, use the farmer's 
			formula: one part sunshine, two parts 
			water and three parts prayer.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP – PROFESSOR READING

				PROFESSOR
			The scientific approach to the rapid 
			growth of citrus fruits, is assured with 
			the proper amounts of Vitamin D, aqua 
			naturalis, a fertilizer containing sodium 
			chloride, nitrated Potassium and calcium. 
			If this doesn't achieve results, try one 
			part sunshine, two parts water, and three 
			parts prayer.

	The Professor closes the book, then does a double 
	take and flips back to the section he was 
	reading. 

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT – CLOSE UP – SKIPPER & GILLIGAN
	
	The Skipper is watching Gilligan trying to plant 
	his seeds. Gilligan pokes a hole in the ground 
	with his finger, glances at it and shakes his 
	head.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, what are you doing?

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper I got to make sure I plant the 
			seed in the right place.

	Gilligan pokes another hole, looks at it and 
	shakes his head.

				GILLIGAN
			Nope. Still in the shade.

				SKIPPER
		Gilligan, that's not shade, that's your 
			shadow!

				GILLIGAN
			Hey, you're right!

	Skipper rolls his eyes and hands Gilligan a seed.

			SKIPPER
			Now here plant that!

	Gilligan complies, then stares at the ground 
	expectantly.
		
				GILLIGAN
			Well?

				SKIPPER
			Well what?

				GILLIGAN
			Well, when's the orange tree gonna grow?

FADE TO: EXT – GARDEN CLEARING - NIGHT

	Gilligan is walking through the jungle. He comes to 
	the clearing, where the Professor is sitting wrapped 
	in a blanket and shivering.

				GILLIGAN
			I'll take over for you now, Professor.

	Professor gets up and hands Gilligan the blanket.

				PROFESSOR
			Oh this is the coldest night I can 
			remember! Now those tiki-torches must be 
			kept lit. 

				GILLIGAN
			Right.
				PROFESSOR
			Those seeds MUST be kept warm! 

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

				PROFESSOR
			If those seeds die…

				GILLIGAN
			Are you trying to tell me something? 

	Professor looks as though he's wishing he had a hat to 
	hit Gilligan with.

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan, if those seeds die, we die!

				GILLIGAN
			That's what I was afraid you were trying 
			to tell me...

	Professor sighs exasperatedly and rolls his eyes.

				PROFESSOR
			You stay awake!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah.

	Professor leaves. Gilligan checks his watch.

				GILLIGAN
			Two o'clock and all's well!

CUT TO: INT – HOWELL'S HUT - NIGHT

				MR HOWELL
			What was that?

				MRS HOWELL
			Only Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN 
				 (O.S)
			Two o'clock and one minute and all's 
			well!

				MR HOWELL
			If he crows when the sun comes up, so 
			help me, I'll kill him! 
			Teddy…

FADE TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan is still sitting at table 
	wrapped in a blanket.

				GILLIGAN
			Two fifty-eight o'clock, and all's well!

CUT TO: INT – MARY ANN & GINGER'S HUT - NIGHT

				GINGER
			Does he have to do that?

				MARY ANN
			What time is it?

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	We see Gilligan checking his watch and cuckoos three 
	times.

CUT TO: INT – MARY ANN & GINGER'S HUT – NIGHT

				GINGER
			Three o'clock, according to the kook.

FADE TO: PREVIOUS SHOT - LATER

	Gilligan is sitting at table and starting to nod off. 
	We hear the voice of the Professor, echoing and 
	sounding sepulchral.

				PROFESSOR
			   (Disembodied Voice)
		Those tiki torches must be kept lit!

				PROFESSOR
			   (Disembodied Voice)
			Those orange seeds must be kept warm!

				GILLIGAN
			keep warm...

				PROFESSOR
			   (Disembodied Voice)
			Gilligan if those seeds die, we die!

				GILLIGAN
			Die...die...

				PROFESSOR
			    (Disembodied Voice)
			Now you stay awake...

				PROFESSOR
			   (Disembodied Voice)
			If those seeds die, we die!

	Gilligan falls asleep. We see the last tiki torch 
	flicker and die. The screen starts to waver as we… 

FADE TO: INT – HOWELL'S HUT – DAY

	Gilligan sitting is asleep in a chair. We hear a loud, 
	trilling voice.

			   MRS HOWELL/MOTHER
			Gilligan! Gilligan! Gill..oh, THERE you 
			are. 

	Gilligan snaps awake.

				MOTHER
			How can you sleep when you know the 
			cupboard is bare and the wolf is at the 
			door?

				GILLIGAN
			Wolf? Where? Where?

				MOTHER
			At the door. Where is your courage, my 
			son?

				GILLIGAN
			I'm sorry, Mother, but lack of vitamins 
			has made me sleepy tired discouraged and 
			cowardly.

				MOTHER
			Well there is only one cure for your 
			ailment, my son...oranges!

				GILLIGAN
			If we only had some! Mother, what are you 
			doing with your jewel box?

				MOTHER
			I have made a decision. Take these 
			emeralds, these diamonds, these rubies to 
			the market, and trade them in for half a 
			dozen oranges. And don't talk to 
			strangers!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yes noble Mother who is sacrificing 
			her jewels! You can trust your 
			trustworthy son!

	Gilligan salutes and leaves.

				MOTHER
			I bet!

FADE TO: EXT – JUNGLE - DAY

	Gilligan is traveling through a jungle with the chest 
	of jewels, and a man standing against a tree.

			   MR HOWELL/STRANGER
			Hold it there, Tall Dark and Emaciated! 
			Where are you going on this bright and 
			cheery morning?

				GILLIGAN
			I'm going to the market to trade this 
			chest of rubies, diamonds and emeralds 
			for oranges.

				STRANGER
			Rubies, diamonds and emeralds?
	
	The stranger opens the chest and shuts it quickly.

				STRANGER
			By George, you're right, gotta get dark 
			glasses.

				GILLIGAN
			My mother said I can't talk to strangers.

				STRANGER
			Always listen to your mother, son, a 
			boy's best friend is his mother...I had 
			one once.

				GILLIGAN
			I must remember that.

				STRANGER
			Yes you must remember that.
			Incidentally, my name is Lester J. 
			Farthingham the Third.

				GILLIGAN
			 I can't talk to strangers.

				STRANGER
			Ever know a stranger named Lester J. 
			Farthingham the Third?

				GILLIGAN
			No, sir.

				STRANGER
			Then we must be friends! Kind a follows, 
			doesn't it?

				GILLIGAN
			I guess so.

			STRANGER
			Here let me hold this little…

				GILLIGAN
			Oh no I have to trade this chest for 
			oranges!

				STRANGER
			I'll tell you what I'm going to do son. 
			I'm going to trade this box of paltry 
			baubles for some of these magic beans!

				GILLIGAN
			Magic beans?

				STRANGER
			Not so loud, son, a crowd might collect!

				GILLIGAN
			Real magic beans?

				STRANGER
			Real magic, so magic that you won't have 
			one orange, not a dozen oranges, but a 
			whole veritable orange grove!

				GILLIGAN
			Sir, you are the kindest, friendliest man 
			I ever met in my whole life! 

				STRANGER
			Then it's a trade!

				GILLIGAN
			Yes, sir!

				STRANGER
			Here you are, run along son you bother me 
			you bother me.

	Gilligan starts to head back along the jungle path.

				STRANGER
			Hold it, boy! Do you have a brother?

				ILLIGAN
			No, sir.

				STRANGER
			Too bad, like doing business with your 
			family.

FLIP TO: INT – HOWELL'S HUT - DAY

	Gilligan and his Mother are in the hut.

				MOTHER
			Beans? But I asked you for oranges!

				GILLIGAN
			But mother the man said they're not 
			ordinar…

				MOTHER
			I'm going to show you something Gilligan. 

	She pulls a string and a curtain swishes away to 
	reveal an entire wall of shelves filled with bean 
	cans.

				MOTHER
			Now look at this! Baked beans, brown 
			beans, soy beans, lima beans, string 
			beans, green beans...and I hate beans! 
			Besides, I asked you for oranges, you 
			silly ridiculous idiotic boy.

	She throws the beans out the window and leaves.

				GILLIGAN
			Sometimes I get the feeling she's 
			disappointed in me.

	Suddenly, we see a beanstalk growing out side the 
	window. Gilligan turns around and watches its progress 
	as it goes upwards.

CUT TO: BEAN STALK GROWING VIEW LOOKING UP

CUT TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

	Gilligan has run out the door and starts climbing the 
	beanstalk.

CUT TO: EXT - CLOUD CASTLE

	Gilligan is seen emerging from the mist surrounding 
	the bean stalk. A castle is visible in the distance. 
	Gilligan starts in the direction of the castle. 

FADE TO: CASTLE DOOR

	Gilligan arrives at the huge door of the castle. He 
	rings the doorbell, which plays a funeral dirge. A 
	fairy answers the door.

			      MARY ANN/FAIRY
			You must go away! This is the castle of 
			the mean and cruel giant!

				GILLIGAN
			You think I'm afraid of a mean and cruel 
			giant?

				FAIRY
			Aren't you?

				GILLIGAN
			I don't even care how big he is! Uh...how 
			big is he?

				FAIRY
			Oh he's about...

	She looks up.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh sorry I asked! How come the giant's so 
			mean and cruel?

				FAIRY
			He's an orange miser. He has a whole 
			treasure room full of oranges!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh I must get some for my mother! That 
			would make me proud and pleased and 
			happy.

	He pushes past the fairy into the castle.


				FAIRY
			And dead, if the giant catches you...

CUT TO: INT – CASTLE – LARGE CHAIR

	Gilligan and the fairy spot a huge armchair.

				GILLIGAN
			How big did you say that giant was?

	The fairy looks up again. Gilligan whimpers in terror. 
	The camera turns to reveal crates and crates of 
	oranges.

PAN LEFT TO: ORANGE CRATES

				GILLIGAN
			My goodness, where'd he get all those 
			oranges?

				FAIRY
			From her. 

CUT TO: THROWN WITH GOOSE

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				FAIRY
			That's the goose that laid the golden 
			oranges.

	Gilligan starts rubbing his hands together greedily, a 
	gleam in his eye.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh if I could get a hold of that 
			goose...she would give me everything!

				FAIRY
			Don't be silly. If you steal that goose, 
			you'll be a dead duck!

	We hear giant footsteps.

				FAIRY
			Now run before it's too late!

	We hear a booming, "Fe, fi, fo, fum!"

				FAIRY
			Oh, it's too late!

				GILLIGAN
			Where can I hide? Behind the chair?

				FAIRY
			No…no…no…no, hide behind there!

	She points to the wall of orange crates. Gilligan moves 
	off in the direction of the crates

PAN TO: ORANGE CRATES

	Gilligan hides behind them, as the giant comes into 
	view.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

			     SKIPPER/GIANT
			Well now, my pretty! What's going on 
			here?

				FAIRY
			Not a thing, mean and cruel master. It's 
			been very quiet.

				GIANT
			Well, I smell something, and it's not 
			oranges! Fe, fi, fo, fum!

				FAIRY
			I don't smell any fe, fi, fo or fum.

				GIANT
			Well, I do, and it's coming from over 
			there!

	The giant heads toward the orange crates.

CUT TO: INT –  CASTLE – ORANGE CRATES

	The giant spots Gilligan crouching behind them.

				GIANT
			Aha! There you are!
			Come out from behind there!
 
	The giant starts chasing Gilligan around and around 
	the crates. Then, we hear a roar.

				GILLIGAN
			What was that?!

				GIANT
			A dragon! I must slay him before he tries 
			to steal all my oranges. I'll be back to 
			deal with you later!

	The giant stomps off. Gilligan darts out from behind 
	the crates.

				GILLIGAN
			Come on! We'll grab the goose and go.

				FAIRY
			All right.

CUT TO: INT – CASTLE - THROWN

	They run to the throne and Gilligan picks up the 
	goose. Then, they hear a voice.


				VOICE
			Help! Help!

				GILLIGAN
			What was that!

				FAIRY
			Oh, nothing, just this old lady the giant 
			has locked in his dungeon.

				VOICE
			Please rescue me!

				FAIRY
 			Come on hurry!

				GILLIGAN
			No! First, I must rescue the old lady in 
			the dungeon.

	He strides off decisively.

				FAIRY
			You heroes are all alike...

CUT TO: INT – CASTLE – DUNGEON

	The voices of an old lady and an old man are screaming for 
	help. Gilligan unlocks the door and yanks it open with a 
	loud creak.

			    PROFESSOR/OLD MAN
			Young man, we've been locked up in that 
			tired dungeon for thirty years!

				GILLIGAN
			Look, we don't have time to discuss a 
			housing problem!

				OLD LADY
			How can we ever thank you?

				GILLIGAN
			Ah…look, we…we got to run fast, that 
			giant will be back any second!

				FAIRY
			Oh come on hurry!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah!

				OLD LADY
			OK but first I must reward my rescuer.

				GILLIGAN
			Look lady we don't have time!

				OLD LADY
			Oh I know I know! I will thank you with a 
			kiss.

	Gilligan and the fairy look at each other. Gilligan 
	grimaces in distaste and the fairy winces.

				GILLIGAN
			A kiss?

				OLD LADY
			I knew that would grab you.

				GILLIGAN
			Couldn't we just...shake hands?

				OLD LADY
			A kiss.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh this hero business isn't what it's 
			cracked up to be. 

				FAIRY
			Go ahead get it over with.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh boy.

	Gilligan closes his eyes and quickly pecks the old 
	lady on the mouth. He recoils and wipes his mouth on 
	his sleeve. We hear a wind-chime sound and the old 
	lady turns into a princess.

				GILLIGAN
			My, you're beautiful! Especially for an 
			old hag.

			     GINGER/PRINCESS
			It was your kiss that did it. I'm really 
			a princess.

				OLD MAN
			And I'm really a prince! And I could use 
			a kiss to turn me BACK into a prince!

				GILLIGAN
			Forget it, buster. I'm not gonna kiss 
			you.

				OLD LADY
			It's not you that can turn him back, it's 
			her!

				FAIRY
			Oh the giant's beginning to look better 
			and better every minute!

				OLD MAN
			That bad, eh?

				GILLIGAN
			Come on I got to get this goose back home 
			to my mother!

				FAIRY
				I'd rather kiss the goose. Here goes…

	The fairy puckers up for a quick kiss on the cheek, 
	but the old man grabs her and kisses her full on the 
	mouth for several seconds. We hear the same magical 
	wind-chime sound, but nothing happens.

				FAIRY
			Oh, you're not a prince!

				OLD MAN
			No, I'm not, am I? Well don't believe 
			everything you hear, girlie!

	We hear giant footsteps again, and the "Fe, fi, fo, 
	fum."

				GILLIGAN
			Here comes the old fe-fi-fo-fummer again!

				FAIRY
			Oh I know a shortcut, follow me!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah!

	She, the princess, and the old man run off on the 
	shortcut, but Gilligan turns the wrong way and is 
	caught by the giant.

				GIANT
			Aha! Trying to steal my goose eh!? Aha! 
			Aha!

				GILLIGAN
			Let me go! Let me go! Let go of me! Let 
			me go...

	hile he's yelling for help, the dream sequence 
	ends.

FADE TO: EXT – JUNGLE CLEARING - MORNING

	The Skipper is shaking Gilligan to wake him up.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan!  Wake up! Wake up!

				GILLIGAN
			No no let me go! You got me…

				SKIPPER
			Will you stop that! It's just the me 
			Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Did I fall asleep? 

				SKIPPER
			Tha…that's not important!

				GILLIGAN
			It's not important!? If the tiki-torches 
			wen...they went out, Skipper, That means 
			that we're all gonna die...

	Gilligan commences to babble like a lunatic until the 
	Skipper shuts him up.
			
				PROFESSOR
			Skipper look! 

	The professor has a bowl of grapefruits and lemons.

				SKIPPER
			Look at those Grapefruit! The professor 
			found some grapefruit trees! 

				PROFESSOR
			Yes and some lemon trees too!!

				GILLIGAN
			I knew all about them.
				
				PROFESSOR
			You mean you knew there were citrus 
			fruits in the jungle?

				GILLIGAN
			No, not citrus fruits! Just grapefruits 
			and lemons.
	
	The Professor throws a lemon up in the air and catches 
	it.

				PROFESSOR
			Oh Gilligan, those ARE citrus fruits!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh.

				SKIPPER
			My goodness, wa…wa…well if he only knew 
			where I could get my hands on a two inch 
			T-bone steak!

				GILLIGAN
			I know!

				SKIPPER
			You DO? Where?

				GILLIGAN
			Back there in Hawaii! We used to park the 
			Minnow right there, bring it in there, 
			that little restaur…ant.

	The Professor scowls and removes Gilligan's hat.

				SKIPPER
			Thank you, Professor.

	The Skipper hits Gilligan hard on the head with his 
	hat. The Professor, still scowling darkly, replaces 
	Gilligan's hat.

							FADE OUT

FADE IN

STOCK SHOT OF PALM TREES

CUT TO: EXT – CLEARING - DAY

	Gilligan is standing in front of something. The 
	Skipper comes into view.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan your timing is wrong. 

				GILLIGAN
			You just don't want me to go into 
			business for myself!

				SKIPPER
			It's not that at all! But Gilligan you 
			been out here for five hours and 
			what have you made?

				GILLIGAN
			Nothing.

				SKIPPER
			Exactly. Now come on let's go fishing.

				GILLIGAN
			OK. But it sure would have been a swell 
			business yesterday!

				SKIPPER
			Alright come on.

	The Skipper leaves. Gilligan steps away and we can see 
	the word "Lemonade" painted on a crate, with several 
	crossed-out prices under it. Gilligan quickly kneels 
	down, picks up a piece of chalk and writes "Free" 
	under the crossed-out prices, then runs off.
