WIDE SHOT 

	The skipper and Gilligan are walking along the 
	edge of the lagoon each carrying a large burlap 
	sack over their shoulder. In the sacks are 
	coconuts.

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE - DAY

	They happen upon a small clearing in the jungle.

				SKIPPER
			Ahhhh, Gilligan, lets take a breather.

			Ohhhh, these coconuts get heavier with 
			every step we take.

	The skipper sets his sack on the ground so he can 
	rest. Gilligan, looking exhausted just stands 
	with his sack over his shoulder.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah they must weigh a ton. All morning 
			long we collect coconuts down at the 
			beach and, all afternoon we lug'em back 
			to camp. Mile after mile and, foot after 
			foot, nothing but lug'en coconuts! And 
			my back is killing me!

				SKIPPER
			Well Gilligan why don't you put them 
			down!?

				GILLIGAN
			I never thought of that. Good idea.

	Gilligan drops his sack on the ground and several 
	coconuts come spilling out.

	way and run into each other.

	as we…

				ACT I

FADE IN

EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

	The skipper and Gilligan come running out of the 
	jungle and towards the professor. The professor 
	is seated at the table looking some books.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey professor! Professor!

				PROFESSOR
			What is it!? What is it!? What's 
			happened!?

				GILLIGAN
			It flew right through the air and it bit 
			me on the neck! I'm gonna be a Vampire! 
			An…and turn into a bat! I'm gonna fly 
			through the night, and drink blood and 
			talk funny, gooodeeevning, and other 
			weird things like that!

				SKIPPER
			Oh can you help him professor!?

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah please help me professor! I…I 
			wouldn't be a good Vampire! I faint at 
			the sight of blood! I'll starve to 
			death!

				PROFESSOR
			All right Gilligan you just try to calm 
			yourself. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND SKIPPER

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper you better tell me exactly what 
			happened. Something a, bit Gilligan on 
			the neck?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Exactly! You see, i…it was in a cave, 
			and a big Vampire bat came out a bit him 
			right on the neck there! And, now when 
			there's a full moon he's gonna turn into 
			a Vampire!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR 

				PROFESSOR
			Nonsense.

				GILLIGAN
				 (O.S.)
			It's not nonsense. I saw…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP - GROUP

				(CONTINUED)
			…a movie once, and this bat bit this guy 
			and he turned into a vampire. And he 
			slept in a coffin. And when the full 
			moon came up, he use to rise out of the 
			coffin and he spread his cape and…

	Gilligan stops in mid sentence and looks horrified.

				SKIPPER
			What's the matter Gilligan!?

				GILLIGAN
			I scared myself.

				PROFESSOR
			All right all right now just stop right 
			there.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			I'm surprised at both of you. Grown men, 
			completely un-nerved by a silly 
			superstitious fable.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			You mean he won't turn into a Vampire!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan, it was only a movie!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				Gilligan
			Yeah but I saw it three times and it 
			always came out the same way!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP - GROUP

				PROFESSOR
			All right all right if it'll make you 
			feel any better why don't you two seal 
			up the mouth of that cave. That'll at 
			least will keep the Vampires, I…I mean 
			the BATS from becoming a nuisance.

				SKIPPER
			Oh that's a good idea professor thanks!
			Come on lets go seal up that…

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan wait a minute. You better get 
			the girls to put a dressing on that 
			wound right now.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah I better do it right now. Cause 
			after I become a Vampire, they'll never 
			look at me.

				PROFESSOR
			And stop saying that! Now I don't want 
			you or the skipper ever mentioning this 
			Vampire business again! There's no sense 
			in upsetting the others over something 
			so, preposterous! Agreed!?

				SKIPPER
			Oh all right professor, agreed.
			Come on Gilligan.

	The skipper and Gilligan walk off camera.

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

	Ginger is sitting at her make-up table looking at 
	herself in a mirror with no silver on the back. 
	Mary Ann sees Ginger, and wonders what she's 
	doing.

				MARY ANN
			Ginger, what's the matter with your 
			mirror?

				GINGER
			Oh, the silver came all off the back. 
			Nothing but glass now. See?

	She holds up the mirror for Mary Ann to see.

				MARY ANN
			Yeah.

				GINGER
			All I get is a blank expression.

				MARY ANN
			You don't need a mirror, you're still 
			beautiful.

				GINGER
			Oh I know. But I like to get a another 
			opinion.

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

MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper and Gilligan have arrived at the 
	girls hut so they can bandage Gilligan's neck.

				SKIPPER
			Look, get in there and let the girls 
			patch you up. I'll go get some shovels 
			so we can close up the cave.

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP SHOT

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah, we don't want those bats to get 
			out of the cave…

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan shhhhhh! Remember now what the 
			professor said, not a word of this to 
			the girls!

				GILLIGAN
			You can trust me. I'll never say Vampire 
			again.

				SKIPPER
			Good.

				GILLIGAN
			I mean that's one word I'll never use is 
			Vampire. I mean I'll never say Vam…

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan!!

				GILLIGAN
			Ok ok.

				SKIPPER
			Now go on in there.

	Skipper walks off camera as Gilligan heads 
	towards the girls hut.

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

	Ginger is still at her make-up table powdering 
	her nose when there's a knock on the door.

				GINGER
			Come in.

				MARY ANN
			Come in.

	Gilligan enters the hut.

				GILLIGAN
			Hi Mary Ann, a hi Ginger. A, look what 
			I've got. Just a simple ole every day 
			bite on the neck nothing to worry about. 
			Nothin to be scared of it's nothing it's 
			really nothing at all.

	The girls both look at Gilligan and don't seem at 
	all concerned.

				MARY ANN
			You're right, it's nothing.

				GILLIGAN
			That's what you think.

				GINGER
			Let me see.

				GILLIGAN
			No don't get too close.

				MARY ANN
			Oh Gilligan, bites aren't catchy!

				GILLIGAN
			This one is.

				MARY ANN
			Oh nonsense.

	Mary Ann take s good look at Gilligan's neck.

				MARY ANN
			No, it's not bad. What bit you?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, wh…wh…oh yeah something bit me, Oh I 
			a forgot I bit myself.

				GINGER
			Your self!? How could you bite yourself 
			on the neck Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			I stood on a chair. A ladder? A tree?

	The girls don't believe him.

				MARY ANN
			Never mind how it happened, it still 
			needs treatment. Come on Ginger help me 
			with the bandages.

	Mary Ann walks off camera.
				GINGER
			Now you sit down right here.

	Ginger makes Gilligan sit at her make-up table.

				GILLIGAN
			Ok.

				GINGER
			Now don't be nervous. Nobody ever died 
			from a bite on the neck.

	Ginger walks off camera.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey , you're right!

	As Mary Ann and Ginger are just off camera 
	getting bandages ready while Gilligan picks up 
	Ginger's mirror and tries to look at the bite on 
	his neck.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah, nobody ever died from, a bite on 
			the neck, and…

	Gilligan realizes he can't see his reflection in 
	the mirror.

				GILLIGAN
			I can't see myself! I don't have any 
			reflection! 
			I've become one of them. They don't have 
			any reflections either. I've become one 
			of them. I've become one of them!!

	Gilligan has gotten up and runs out of the hut's 
	door, terrified at becoming a Vampire. Mary Ann 
	and Ginger watch as he passes by them. They look 
	at each other with confusion.

FLIP TO: INT – SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN'S HUT – NIGHT

	Gilligan is laying in his hammocks while the 
	skipper is standing by the large window looking 
	out.

				GILLIGAN
			I'm a Vampire skipper! When a Vampire 
			looks in a mirror he can't see himself, 
			and I couldn't see myself, so I'm a 
			vampire! I'm a Vampire!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan you've got to get hold of 
			yourself. You keep talking like this, 
			you're going to make yourself sick!

				GILLIGAN
			Wait till I start biting NECKS! That'll 
			really make me sick! Ichh!

				SKIPPER
			Will you stop worrying about that mirror 
			stuff!? Now the professor said that you 
			weren't a Vampire, so you can believe 
			the professor!

				GILLIGAN
			I can believe the professor.

				SKIPPER
			Right! So, why don't you stop worrying 
			and get some sleep.

				GILLIGAN
			Right, stop worrying and get some sleep.

				SKIPPER
			Haaa…now you're being sensible, good 
			night little buddy.

PAN DOWN/PULL BACK

	The skipper gets in his hammock.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah. 
			Now I'm being sensible. Good night 
			skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Good night.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			I mean, just because a bat bit me, um I 
			can't see myself in a mirror, doesn't 
			mean I'm a vampire.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper is listening to Gilligan.

				GILLLIGAN
				(O.S.)
			Afraid to close my eyes…

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				(CONTINUED)
			…cause because I might turn into a bat 
			and fly around and drink blood and bit 
			my friend's necks…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	He's starting to look worried.

				(CONTINUED)
 				  (O.S.)
			…and things like that. Now I'm being 
			sensible.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN 

				GILLIGAN
			I'm not going to bit my friend's necks.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	He's listening again to Gilligan

				(CONTINUED)
				  (O.S.)
			…everybody. I'm going to bit all my 
			friends!

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			I don't want to be a Vampire!

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper once again overhears Gilligan and 
	again and gets up. He's had enough of Gilligan 
	thinking he's a Vampire and gets out of his 
	hammock.

PAN LEFT WITH SKIPPER TO TABLE

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan. I just thought of a wonderful 
			idea. 

	The skipper gets a piece of string out of the nap 
	sack.

				SKIPPER
			Now…

PAN RIGHT WITH SKIPPER TO GILLIGAN AND HAMMOCKS

				GILLIGAN
			String! I'll get my kite!

				SKIPPER
			No, not for your kite. 

	The skipper starts to tie the string around 
	Gilligan's foot.

				SKIPPER
			I'm going to tie this one end of the 
			string, to your foot, and I'm going to 
			tie the other end to me. And then, when 
			you, get up in the night, and try and 
			get out, I can get you, before you leave 
			the hut.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah! That ought to work skipper! Even 
			if I turn into a bat, because bats have 
			feet!

				SKIPPER
			Exactly, now stop worrying, and get some 
			sleep.

	The skipper is finished tie the string to 
	Gilligan and himself and gets back in his hammock.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah skipper, stop worrying, and get 
			some sleep. Good night.

			SKIPPER
			Good night.

			Stop worrying and get some sleep, yeah.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	He's listening again, but is too tired to care 
	and starts to drift off.

PULL BACK FOR MEDIUM SHOT

	Gilligan, eyes wide open, sits up in his hammock. 
	He's got a glazed stare on his face as he's 
	obviously sleepwalking. He removes the string 
	from his foot and gets out of his hammock. He 
	wraps himself in his blanket like a cape and 
	heads out of the hut's door.

CUT TO: INT – MR AND MRS HOWELL'S HUT – NIGHT

	Mr. and Mrs. Howell are fast asleep in their hut. 
	Mr. Howell is talking in his sleep.

				MR HOWELL
			Two million, four million, six million, 
			I love to dream in round figures.

PULL BACK/PAN RIGHT TO HOWELL'S FRONT DOOR

	We see Gilligan with his blanket used as a cape, 
	enter the Howell's hut. We follow him as he makes 
	his way over to Mrs. Howell and bends over her. 
	He looks as if he's trying to bite her neck.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oohhhhhh! Robbers! Thieves! Cat buglers!

				MR HOWELL
			Lovey! Hold them off, I'll go hide in 
			the vault!

	Mr. Howell, now fully awake, sees Gilligan. 
	Gilligan is standing, just staring as he holds 
	his blanket as a cape to cover all but his eyes.

				MR HOWELL
			What is that!?

				MRS HOWELL
			He tried to bite my throat!

				MR HOWELL
			He tried to do what!?

				MRS HOWELL
			To bite my throat!

				MR HOWELL
			Gilligan you might have damaged that 
			diamond necklace with your molars! (to

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

	Mrs. Howell notices Gilligan isn't moving or 
	saying anything.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh wait a minute dear. Maybe he was 
			walking in his sleep. His eyes look a 
			bit glazed.

				MR HOWELL
			Well he always has that glazed look. 
			Gilligan, Gilligan! Are you asleep!? Are 
			you asl…!?

	Mr. Howell snaps his fingers to try and wake up 
	Gilligan. Gilligan comes out of his catatonic 
	state.

				GILLIGAN
			Mr. Howell, what are you doing in my 
			hut?

				MR HOWELL
			Your hut!? It's OUR hut!

				MRS HOWELL
			You see he WAS walking in his sleep.

				MR HOWELL
			Well his conduct is inexcusable!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			What'd I do?

				MR HOWELL
				(O.S.)
			What'd you do!? 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL

				MR HOWELL

			of my wife's neck…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MRS HOWELL

	She's looking upset.

FLIP TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

MEDIUM SHOT

	The skipper is explaining to the professor the 
	previous nights exploits.

				SKIPPER
			…and then my little buddy tried to bite 
			Mrs. Howell on the neck! I mean you see 
			its really happening professor! He's 
			turning into a vampire!

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

ANGLE FAVORING SKIPPER

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper that's ridiculous! I told you 
			that Vampires are nothing but fairy 
			tales.

				SKIPPER
			But then why'd he try to bite Mrs. 
			Howell  on the neck!?

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE FAVORING PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Well the explanation is obvious. 
			Gilligan was so worried about becoming a 
			Vampire that he became obsessed with the 
			idea. When he fell asleep, his 
			subconscious took over and he attacked 
			Mrs. Howell.

CUT TO: SHOT FAVORING SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			But what are we going to do about it!? I 
			mean there's telling who's going to be 
		his next victim!

CUT TO: SHOT FAVORING PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Fortunately, I know a simple cure for 
			this problem. I'll prepare an anti 
			Vampire potion.

CUT TO: SHOT FAVORING SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			An Anti Vampire potion!? Well professor 
			what school did you go to!? Batman U!?

CUT TO: SHOT FAVORING PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Oh skipper, not a real anti Vampire 
			potion! I'll merely brew up some of 
			these native plants and produce a mild 
			tranquillizer.

CUT TO: SHOT FAVORING SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			Oh I get it! But then Gilligan will 
			think it's a real anti Vampire 
			concoction.

				PROFESSOR
			Exactly,… 

CUT TO: SHOT FAVORING PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			…and his psychological fears about 
			becoming a Vampire will be removed once 
			and for all.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

				SKIPPER
			Oh that's great professor, we'll start 
			brewing the plants right away! I'll get 
			Gilligan!

	Skipper runs off camera leaving the professor to 
	make his anti Vampire potion.

	and hands it to Gilligan.

PAN UP/PULL BACK WITH COCONUT FOR MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

				GILLIGAN
			Professor, are you sure this anti 
			Vampire potion's gonna work?

				PROFESSOR
			Believe me Gilligan, if you're a 
			Vampire, this potion will cure you.
			Now drink up.

				GILLIGAN
			Don't I get a cookie with it?

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan will you drink it!?

				GILLIGAN
			Ok.

	Gilligan takes a drink of the professor's 
	concoction.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey! I feel like a new man! Imagine 
			that! One drink of the anti Vampire 
			potion, and I feel better all ready!

	With that said, Gilligan immediately passes out 
	and falls down.

				SKIPPER
			Professor what's the matter with 
			Gilligan!?

				PROFESSOR
			Oh it's all right skipper. He was so 
			hyper tense with worry that the 
			tranquillizer had an immediate effect.
			Let's get him to bed.

				SKIPPER
			Well but you know I…

				PROFESSOR
			Come on skipper he won't bite you.

				SKIPPER
			Well all right.

	The skipper helps the professor pick up Gilligan 
	but only uses one hand. He uses his other hand to 
	cover up his neck.

CUT TO: INT – SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN'S HUT – EVENING

	The skipper and professor are dragging Gilligan 
	into the hut. They make their way to the hammock.

				PROFESSOR
			I think he'll be just fine in the 
			morning skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Well thanks a lot professor.

	The professor lets go of Gilligan, now in the 
	skipper's hands and turns to leave.

				PROFESSOR
			I'm going to turn in, good night.

				SKIPPER
			Good night. Now I'll finally get some 
			sleep.

	The professor leaves the hut while the skipper 
	lifts Gilligan into his hammock. The skipper

	The skipper gets out of his hammock to wake Gilligan.

				MR HOWELL
			That's poppycock, you just over wrought

			dear?

				MRS HOWELL
			Well I can't help it darling. After all 
			there's a rumor that there are Vampires

			Vampires. They're so toothy.

	As Mr. Howell speaks, a wall behind them rotates 
	to reveal the Vampire.

				MR HOWELL
			No I think your imagination is running 
			amok. Any five-year-old child can tell 
			you, there is no such thing as a 
			Vampire. There's no such thing.

	The Vampire has come up behind the Howells.

				MRS HOWELL
			There's a Vampire.

	Inspector Sherlock grabs the Vampire.

				SHERLOCK
