WIDE SHOT OF PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

	The professor is holding a pair of clamshell 
	tongs near a fire while Gilligan is kneeling near 
	by blowing on the fire. 

				PROFESSOR
			Just a little more Gilligan.

	Gilligan is really huffing and puffing and is 
	getting tired.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			Good, good that's fine.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			There, that ought to do it.
			
	The professor takes the tongs out of the fire. 
	Gilligan is panting heavily after blowing on the 
	fire. 

PAN LEFT WITH PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN TO LOW ROCK 

	We see the skipper, Ginger and Mary Ann approach 
	them from behind.

				SKIPPER
			How you doing with the nails professor!?

				PROFESSOR
			We'll know in a few minutes professor 
			skipper. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			You know I made this from that 
			outcropping of ferrous oxide I found.

	The professor is holding up the clamshell tongs 
	with the nail he made.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND GINGER

				GILLIGAN
			It looks good enough to get rusty.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF ROCK

	The professor drops the hot nail on to the rock 
	to cool.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

	The professor walks off as Gilligan walks on 
	camera.

				GILLIGAN
			How 'bout that.

	Gillian reaches down to pick up the nail off the 
	rock. 

				GILLIGAN
			It's nothing but the rock and the fire. 
			And the professor makes an a….Oooooo, 
			Ooooooo!

	Gilligan has taken the nail that is still hot and 
	burns his fingers. He immediately drops it back 
	down in a bucket of water and sticks his fingers 
	in the water to cool them off.

				GINGER
				(O.S.)
			Gilligan!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Let me see that!

	Gilligan pulls his hand from the water and shows 
	the skipper his hurt finger.

				SKIPPER
			Oh not your finger, the nail! Never 
			mind.

	The skipper reaches down in the bucket and pulls 
	out the now cool nail. He bites the nail.

MARY ANN WITH PROFESSOR IN BG

				SKIPPER
			It's a nail all right!

	Mary Ann lets out an exclamation of excitement.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN WITH PROFESSOR IN BG

				PROFESSOR
			Let's try it out!

	We watch as the professor, Gilligan, Mary Ann, 
	Ginger and the skipper make their way over to the 
	damaged Minnow.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, GILLIGAN AND GINGER 
NEXT TO THE MINNOW'S DAMAGED PORT SIDE 

	We see the large jagged hole in the Minnow's 
	side. Gilligan is standing by ready to help the 
	professor. Ginger is standing next to Gilligan 
	watching. Gilligan hands the professor the items 
	he calls out for.

				PROFESSOR
			Ready Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			Ready!

				PROFESSOR
			Hammer!

	Gilligan hands him a hammer.

				GILLIGAN
			Hammer.
 
				PROFESSOR
			Nail!

	Ginger passes the nail to Gilligan who then 
	passes it to the professor.

				GILLIGAN
			Nail.

				PROFESSOR
			Plank!

	Gilligan hands him the plank.

				GILLIGAN
			Plank.
	
				GILLLIGAN
			Splinters! Ooo Ooo!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND GINGER

				GINGER
			Oh I'll take it out for you Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			No it's all right Ginger.

				GINGER
			No, I'm pretty good at first aid. I use 
			to go with a doctor.

				GILLIGAN
			No kidding!?

	Ginger inspects Gilligan's finger, trying to 
	remove the splinter.

				GINGER
			Well actually he was kind of a part time 
			doctor. He practiced medicine at night 
			so he could pay his way through medical 
			school.

	She succeeds in removing the splinter.

				GINGER
			Ooo I got it!

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF MINNOW AND GROUP

	We see the professor standing with the plank 
	against the Minnow, hammer and nail in hand.

				SKIPPER
			Ok folks this is the big moment. Keep 
			you fingers crossed. This nail works, we 
			can leave the island.

	The professor places the nail on the board.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR HAND AND THE 
MINNOW'S PORT SIDE WITH PLANK

	The tension mounts, as the professor is about to 
	nail in his homemade nail.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND MARY ANN

	They have their fingers crossed for luck.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND GINGER

	They too have their fingers crossed.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR HAND AND THE 
MINNOW'S PORT SIDE WITH PLANK

	The professor lines up the hammer with the nail 
	and swings. The nail completely disintegrates.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND MARY ANN

	They both look let down.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND THE MINNOW'S PORT 
SIDE

	The professor has the look of astonishment and 
	surprise as he lets go of the plank, which 
	immediately falls to the ground.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND GINGER

				GILLIGAN
			Maybe we need a softer hammer!

	Gilligan has a silly look on his face. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND MARY ANN

	The skipper is not happy with Gilligan's comment 
	and restrains himself from hitting Gilligan.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND GINGER

	Gilligan instinctively flinches at the skipper's 
	reaction as we…

CUT TO: EXT - BEACH - DAY

WIDE SHOT OF UPPER BEACH AREA

	We see Mr. and Mrs. Howell walking briskly on the 
	beach towards the Minnow.

PAN RIGHT WITH THE HOWELLS TO SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper is working near the Minnow's bow, 
	while Gilligan is placing a long bamboo pole on 
	the Minnow's forward deck. 

				MR HOWELL
			Oh skipper. You still expect to get the 
			Queen Mary ready to sail in six days?

				SKIPPER
			We have to Mr. Howell. The high tide may 
			be our last chance to get off the 
			island.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			I know we'll do it! The professors 
			working on a new formula for making 
			nails. I told him what was wrong with 
			the last one.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			YOU told him!?

				GILLIGAN
				(O.S.)
			Yeah…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPE AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			…it broke when he hammered it.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Oh.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Now folks, while the professor's working 
			on the nails, I thought we'd get the 
			boat ready for launching. Maybe you two 
			could make some rope.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			Thurston that sounds like fun. We'll 
			make ropes out of vines!

				MR HOWELL
			Oh good! That little ole vine maker me!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper laughs as Gilligan just stares not 
	getting the joke.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

				MR HOWELL
			I do marvelous imitations!

	Mr. and Mrs. Howell walk off camera. 

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, get another pole. We can prop 
			up this keel. 

	He starts to walk next to the Minnow when he hits 
	the pole on the deck with his head.

				SKIPPER
			Doh!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Watch your head skipper!

				SKIPPER
			    (SARCASTACALLY)
			Thanks Gilligan! Will you get that pole!

	Gilligan walks off camera.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GILLIGAN ON BEACH

	Gilligan walks over to a pile a bamboo poles and 
	picks one up.	 

				GILLIGAN
			How 'bout this one skipper!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			Perfect! Now get it in here!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT 

				GILLIGAN
			On the double!

	He starts to run back to the Minnow carrying the 
	pole on his shoulder. As he's coming back…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF A PILE OF BROKEN PLANKS

	…he trips on the pile of broke planks and starts 
	to stumble forward towards the boat. 

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND MINNOW

	Gilligan stumbles on camera with the pole and 
	ends up punching a hole in the Minnow's side, 
	adding yet another hole to be fixed.	

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper is looking upset at Gilligan.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is sitting on the ground rubbing his 
	head looking a little dazed.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			Gilligan!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			Will you go help someone else!?

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	Gilligan runs off camera.

				SKIPPER
			Move!
	
CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF PROFESSOR ON BEACH

	The professor is just finishing another nail 
	by the fire. Gilligan walks on camera. 

				GILLIGAN
			Hi! Another nail?

				PROFESSOR
			Yes. New formula. Less brittle. Hope 
			this one works.

	The professor drops the nail in a bucket of 
	water. Gilligan immediately reaches in and 
	picks it out.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is holding the nail straight up from its 
	point and examines it. The nail starts to bend 
	over as if was made of limp rubber.

				GILLIGAN
			A lot less brittle all right.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

	The professor comes over to see what's going on.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan then holds the nail by it's head so the 
	nail hangs down straight.

				GILLIGAN
			Works fine if you hold it this way!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

	He then hold the nail again by it's point with 
	the nail sticking up. It once again bends over.

				GILLIGAN
			Don't feel bad. Maybe you invented 
			noodles!

	The professor gives Gilligan a dirty look.

				GILLIGAN
			I know, why don't I go and help somebody 
			else.

	Gilligan walks off camera. The professor reaches in the 
	bucket and picks up the nail.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

	He holds the nail like Gilligan did and it just 
	falls over again. 

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

MEDIUM SHOT 

	Gilligan is walking through the jungle. 

PAN RIGHT WITH GILLIGAN TO MARY ANN AND GINGER

	Mary Ann and Ginger are sitting on the ground 
	making something for lunch. 

				GILLIGAN
			Hi girls!

				GINGER
			Hi.

				MARY ANN
			Hi! How'd the professor's new nail work 
			out?

				GILLIGAN
			Well, you can't use it to nail anything 
			together, but it ought to make a great 
			Christmas ribbon.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN 

				MARY ANN
			Oh we'll never get off this island.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				GINGER
			Don't talk like that Mary Ann. Remember, 
			in our darkest hour when all seems lost, 
			somewhere in the fearsome black of 
			night, let us search for that shinning 
			star, which will guide us out of our 
			desolation.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Gee that was a beautiful speech Ginger. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				GINGER
			It was from a movie I was in. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, what was the title?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				GINGER
			That WAS the title.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN


	He's got a surprised but confused look on his 
	face.

				MARY ANN
				(O.S.)
			Gilligan would you get me some more 
			breadfruit… 


CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GILLIGAN, MARY ANN AND GINGER

				(CONTINUED)
			…for this batter?

				GINGER
			Oh I'll get it. Gilligan can help you 
			with the pancakes.

				GILLIGAN
			Pancakes!?

				MARY ANN
			Sure! 

				GINGER
			Sure!

	Ginger gets up and walks off camera.

SLOW ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND MARY ANN

				MARY ANN
			Sure! I mashed up some breadfruit, put 
			in coconut milk and, wild duck eggs. 
			How's it taste?

	Gilligan sticks his finger in the bowl to take a 
	taste.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Like breadfruit, coconut milk and wild 
			duck eggs.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

	As Mary Ann continues to stir her concoction. 

				MARY ANN
			If we only had some Maple syrup.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Well there's lots of tree on the island. 
			Maybe one is full of syrup.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND MARY ANN

	Gilligan fishes in his pocket for his knife.

				MARY ANN
			Good! Let's go look!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah.

	She gets up with Gilligan and walk off camera. 
	
CUT TO: NEW ANGLE IN JUNGLE

	We see several trees in the jungle as Gilligan 
	and Mary Ann walk on camera. They start to 
	inspect the trees to see which one might give 
	syrup.

				GILLIGAN
			Lets try this one here. Huh?

				MARY ANN
			All right!

	Gilligan takes his knife and makes a small hole 
	in the tree. He starts to suck on the tree to get 
	something out of it. He has a sour look on his 
	face.

				MARY ANN
			No good?

	Gilligan shakes his head no.

				GILLIGAN
			Hm…emm.

				MARY ANN
			    (DISAPPOINTEDLY)
			Oh.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE IN JUNGLE

	The Howell's are strolling through the jungle and 
	towards the camera. 

				MRS HOWELL
			It was so WISE of you Thurston to insist 
			that the boat be repaired. It won't be 
			long now before we're home.

	They stop for a close up.

				MR HOWELL
			And not a moment too soon! Already 
			missed twelve board meetings of six of 
			my corporations! Or is it six board 
			meetings of twelve of my corporations?

				MRS HOWELL
			Awe poor Thurston, you do have problems.

				MR HOWELL
			It is rather difficult being rich. If it 
			weren't for the money, I'd rather be 
			poor! 
			I must remember to write that down!

	Mrs. Howell looks off camera and sees Gilligan 
	and Mary Ann.

				MRS HOWELL
			Thurston, what do you suppose those 
			young people are doing?

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND MARY ANN

	We see them both standing by a tree with the lips 
	pressed to the bark.

				MARY ANN
			Mmmmmm…Sour!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Well it's perfectly obvious Lovey. 
			They're kissing trees.

				MRS HOWELL
			Must be a new fad. Oh, the younger 
			generation!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND MARY ANN

	Mary Ann looks like she's kissing the tree.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			They DO seem to be enjoying themselves. 
			Think I'll have a go at it myself.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh darling you're so modest.

PAN LEFT AND PULL BACK WITH MR HOWELL

	Mr. Howell gets close to a tree and gives it a 
	kiss. His reaction is not unexpected.

				MRS HOWELL
			Well?

				MR HOWELL
			There's a lot to be said for the old 
			fashioned way.

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND MARY ANN NEAR TREE

	Mary Ann is seen getting the sap from a tree when 
	she seems to have a favorable reaction.

				MARY ANN
			mMMmmm! It's sweet!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah!

				MARY ANN
			Just like you Gilligan.

	Gilligan gets embarrassed but proceeds to hole 
	the tree with his knife.

				GILLIGAN
				(SHYLY)
			Oh yeah.

	Gilligan has holed the tree and is waiting for 
	the sap to gush forth.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah, he…here comes the sap.

				MARY ANN
			Oh here, here.

	Mary Ann hands Gilligan a coconut cup to catch 
	the sap in.

CUT TO EXTREME CLOSE UP OF TREE AND COCONUT CUP

	The sap pours out of the tree and into the cup.

FADE TO: EXT - BEACH - DAY

WIDE SHOT

	The skipper and Gilligan working on the boat 
	in the background. The professor is working 
	on another new nail formula by the fire, as 
	Ginger walks up behind him.

				GINGER
			How's it going professor?

	The professor, unaccustomed to being around 
	beautiful women, becomes fluster and starts to 
	shake.

SLOW ZOOM IN WITH PROFESSOR FOR CLOSE UP SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			Oh! Oh well…well I'll have to a…I'll 
			have to wait till it, cools before I, 
			try it.

	He walks over to the rock and sets the hot nail 
	down.

				GINGER
			Gee I think it's amazing how you do all 
			those experiments with such shaky hands!

				PROFESSOR
			Well they weren't shaky until a second 
			ago.

				GINGER
			Oh, maybe it's the heat or something.

	The professor looks at Ginger with that, you 
	don't have a clue look.

				PROFESSOR
			Yeah.

	The professor has finished another nail. 

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper! Skipper this nails ready!

				SKIPPER
			Good! Bring it over, we'll try it out!

	The professor and Ginger run over to the boat. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is on the bow of the boat and hands down 
	a hammer.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

	The professor takes the hammer from Gilligan. 
	While the skipper is holding a plank in place 
	against the boats hull. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GINGER

	The professor looks at Ginger and smiles with 
	anticipation.

QUICK CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER
	
	He too is waiting with anticipation.

QUICK CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN
	
	Gilligan is watching everything from the boats 
	bow.

CUT TO: EXTREME CLOSE UP OF PLANK

	The professor once again lines up the hammer with 
	the nail. He gives the nail a quick hit and it 
	explodes in a million pieces with a loud bang.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GINGER

	He gets startled and backs up and looking rather 
	surprised.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	He's looking a bit surprised too.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Well, at least we have a nail for the 
			fourth of July.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper once again gives Gilligan the evil 
	eye.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

				PROFESSOR
			Two days left to float her and I STILL 
			haven't got the right formula!

				SKIPPER
			Professor, I guess we're licked. We'll 
			need a miracle now to get off this 
			island.

FADE TO: EXT - HUT CLEARING - EVENING

WIDE SHOT OF GROUP 

	The castaways are all seated around the communal 
	table getting ready to have something to eat. 
	They're chatting amongst themselves in an ad-lib 
	fashion. Mary Ann and Ginger walk on camera from 
	 carrying a platter full of pancakes.

				GINGER
			Hope you're all hungry.

				MARY ANN
			Lunch time!

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh look.

				SKIPPER
			Well look at this! Pancakes!

				PROFESSOR
			Isn't that wonderful!?

	Mary Ann sets the platter down on the table as 
	the castaways start ad-libbing and talking over 
	each other.

				SKIPPER
			Wonderful ladies!

				MARY ANN
			And Gilligan made the syrup too.

				MRS HOWELL
			Gilligan made it?

				MR HOWELL
			I didn't…I didn't know that you were a…a 
			ah…

				PROFESSOR
			From what? Where did you get it?

				GILLIGAN
			From a tree.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper is putting syrup on his pancakes.

				MARY ANN
				(O.S.)
			Does it look good!?

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			Very good!

	The skipper has finished pouring syrup over his 
	pancakes and is about to eat them.

				SKIPPER
			Well ladies, here's to a new task treat.

	He uses his fork to lift up a piece of pancake, 
	and it immediately snaps back down on the plate.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

	She laughs.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

	Mary Ann thinks the skipper is fooling around too 
	and finds it funny.

				MARY ANN
			Oh, skipper!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper finds this amusing and tries again 
	with the same results. He's trying to be gracious 
	about Mary Ann's cooking and doesn't want to 
	offend her.

				SKIPPER
			That's something I like! Syrup with a 
			lot a body to it ha…ha…ha…ha!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

	The Howell's just stare at the skipper's antics.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

	They watch with some amusement.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	He tries again and again it snaps back down on 
	the plate. The skipper is visibly upset about the 
	situation.

				SKIPPER
			What are these, pancakes or Yo-Yo's!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

	The Howell's are fighting with their pancakes as 
	well.

				MRS HOWELL
			I can't cut this!

				MR HOWELL
			Yes they seem to be sticking a bit.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

	He's trying to lift up a piece of pancake too, 
	but it also keeps being pulled back down. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan repeatedly lifts a piece of pancake up, 
	only to have it be pulled down like it was 
	attached with rubber bands.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan. Where did you get this…this 
			substance?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			From a tree.

	Gilligan lifts the pieces of pancake again, but 
	this time it hesitates before being pulled back 
	to the plate.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

	Mary Ann is fighting with her pancake.

				MARY ANN
			Well its something like maple syrup.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

	Ginger is pulling up and down on hers, almost 
	playing with it.

				GINGER
			Gee, I've seen brand new girdles that 
			weren't as snappy as this.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			It's getting to be like glue! Even 
			worse!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

	The professor is examining the plate with the 
	glued down pancake and fork.

				PROFESSOR
			Yes, it certainly is. It's setting like 
			cement. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

				GILLIGAN
			Sure is! Look!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	We see the elevated fork and piece of pancake on 
	Gilligan's plate. Gilligan gives the fork a 
	slight pull and lets go. It vibrates back and 
	forth like a spring.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

	The professor looks intently at the plate and 
	gets an idea.

				PROFESSOR
			I wonder. I just wonder. Come on! 

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GROUP AT TABLE

				PROFESSOR
			Follow me!

	The professor gets up and runs quickly off 
	camera. The others just stare, not knowing if 
	he's flipped out or not. The skipper, Gilligan 
	and Mary Ann get up form the table and follow the 
	professor off camera.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			Really Thurston such manners! Eat and 
			run!

				MR HOWELL
			Positively vulgar!

CUT TO: EXT - LAGOON - DAY

WIDE SHOT

	We see the professor squatting down near the 
	lagoon. He's splashing the plate around in the 
	water and looking at it. He seems extremely 
	excited. The skipper, Gilligan and Mary Ann run 
	on camera.

				PROFESSOR
			It worked!

	The professor enters the lagoon up to his knees.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			It works! It works! Its waterproof!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND SKIPPER WITH PROFESSOR IN BG

				SKIPPER
			I think the professor's flipped his lid!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah!

				SKIPPER
			Are you all right professor!?

				PROFESSOR
			I'm fine! We're saved! We're saved!

				SKIPPER
			We better get in there before he hurts 
			himself!

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye.

	The skipper and Gilligan run into the lagoon to 
	help get the professor out. They grab him by the 
	arms as we…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Calm down now!

				PROFESSOR
			Every thing's perfectly all right!
			Gilligan, Gilligan, is there any more of 
			this material around!?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yeah trunks full, I mean tree trunks 
			full.

				PROFESSOR
			You found the miracle we've been looking 
			for Gilligan!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

				MARY ANN
			You mean syrup!?

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			Exactly! Must be a combination of 
			rubber, chickle and resin that bonded 
			together when you heated it! It's a 
			perfect cement for repairing the boat!

				GILLIGAN
			It is!?

				SKIPPER
			Well then we can patch up the Minnow and 
			be in time to catch that high tide after 
			all!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

				MARY ANN
			Thanks to Gilligan glue!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			Right! It's permanent! It's waterproof! 
			And it's powerful!

				GILLIGAN
			And it tastes good on pancakes too!

FADE TO: EXT - BEACH - DAY

MEDIUM SHOT

	The skipper and the professor are hard at work on 
	the boat as Gilligan, Ginger and Mary Ann walk on 
	camera.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey how's it coming? Think it'll be 
			ready?

				SKIPPER
			Just a moment Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Do you think it'll work!?

				SKIPPER
			It'll be ready. Will you stand back!? 
			Thank you.

	Gilligan gets out of the skippers way.

				Skipper
			Well, hear it goes!

	The skipper and professor apply a plank to the 
	side of the Minnow's hull and pounds it into 
	place.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				(CONTINUED)

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				GINGER

				PROFESSOR
				(O.S.)
			Ah…the patch…

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

				PROFESSOR
			…ought to be ready skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Lets find out!

	The skipper gives the plank a good healthy tug.

				PROFESSOR
			It's permanent! Absolutely permanent!

				GINGER
			Oh great!

	the skipper.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan sees the bucket of glue and sticks his 
	finger in for a taste.

PAN RIGHT WITH GILLIGAN TO SKIPPER

	We see the skipper working on another plank to 
	patch a hole farther aft on the hull.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper? 

				SKIPPER
			Yes Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			Well sir a well…a, I was wondering,

				SKIPPER
			What is it?

				SKIPPER
			Now we're gonna need some new brushes 
			for the glue. Why don't you go out and 
			get some palm leaves.

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye sir.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND SKIPPER

	Gilligan turns to leave. He has to step over some 
	planks leaning against the boat. In the process 
	he looks back at the skipper and doesn't watch 
	where he's going. He ends up stepping in the 
	bucket of glue.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BUCKET OF GLUE

	He partially pulls his foot out only to realize 
	it's stuck in the bucket with long elastic 
	strings of glue. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is trying to shake the bucket loose from 
	his foot.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN WITH SKIPPER IN BG

	He's still trying to shake the bucket loose.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper notices Gilligan's actions and looks 
	up.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BUCKET OF GLUE

	We see Gilligan's foot as he tries to get it out 
	of the bucket. It's being held loosely by stringy 
	glue.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper becomes curious and stands up to 
	watch Gilligan.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BUCKET OF GLUE

	Same as before. His shoe with long stringy 
	elastic glue holding it to the bucket.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is still trying to shake the bucket 
	loose.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper sees what's wrong and does a slow 
	burn into the camera.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	Gilligan finally frees the bucket from his foot. 
	He tosses the bucket aside and is standing on one 
	leg as he tries to adjust himself. He's got glue 
	all over his foot and hand.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan.

	In response to the skipper, Gilligan panics and 
	tries to hide his foot by putting it behind him 
	and up against the boots hull, where it promptly 
	gets stuck.

ZOOM IN WITH SKIPPER TO GILLIGAN FOR CLOSE UP

				SKIPPER
			What are you hiding?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Me hiding? Where what what what hiding 
			who what what what hiding what who…
			Skipper, I got a confession to make. I 
			got a stuck foot.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN'S STUCK FOOT TO HULL

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			I thought so.

				GILLIGAN
			Please help me huh skipper?

				SKIPPER
			Yes Gilligan I'll help you. But 
			remember, when you've done something 
			wrong don't try to hide it.

				GILLIGAN
			I'll remember.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper grabs Gilligan and tries to pull him 
	free. Gilligan has glue on his hand. 

				SKIPPER
			Well Gilligan you've got to help too.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	Now put your hand on my shoulder.

				GILLIGAN
			But!

				SKIPPER
			Put your hand on my shoulder.

	Gilligan does what he's told. The skipper finally 
	realized there's something wrong.

				SKIPPER
			Did you have glue on your hand?

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE FAVORING GILLIGAN

	The skipper tries to grab Gilligan by the arm and 
	realizes again something's wrong. Gilligan know 
	all too well what the problem is.

CUT TO: MEDIUMM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper is getting a better grip on Gilligan 
	by grabbing his sleeve.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper realizes that was a mistake.

			  SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN
			On the sleeve too.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE FAVORING GILLIGAN

			That glue went right through my shirt!
			All right come on Gilligan. Heave Ho!

				(O.S.)
			Heave ho!

	We see his foot straining to be pulled free. 

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN


			  SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN
			Heave hooooooo!

	Gilligan is finally pulled free of his shoe. The 
	skipper and Gilligan go flying off camera. We see 
	Gilligan's shoe still firmly attached to the 
	boats hull in the background. 

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	They go flying on to the beach right where 
	Gilligan threw the bucket of glue. The skipper 
	ends up sticking his hand in the bucket and gets 
	glue all over. The skipper, now with glue all 
	over his hand, tries to fling the glue off, but 
	get glue all over Gilligan's back in the process.

				SKIPPER
			Oh Gilligan!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper you're getting it all over my 
			back!

				SKIPPER
			Eohooooo!

				GILLIGAN
			But that's all right! Thank you!

				SKIPPER
			That's very nice of you. 

				GILLIGAN
			You're welcome.

				SKIPPER
			Let's try and get up.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT ANGLE DOWN

	Gilligan tries to get up by himself, but being 
	firmly bonded to the skipper ends up tugging on 
	the skipper, who can't get his balance.

				SKIPPER
			Together!

PAN UP WITH SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN AS THEY STAND

	They finally manage to get up and Gilligan starts 
	to walk towards the boat pulling on the skipper.

				SKIPPER
			What are you doing!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Got to get my shoe!

				SKIPPER
			Never mind that!

				GILLIGAN
			You're right I don't need my shoe.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

	Gilligan starts to walk off camera again, this 
	time in the other direction pulling on the 
	skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Where you going now!?

				GILLIGAN
			Going to get the palm leaves like you 
			told me.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan will you get back here!?

	The skipper gives Gilligan a strong hefty yank 
	and Gilligan gets thrown off camera.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	We see Gilligan, back up against the boat with 
	the Skipper still glued to Gilligan.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF SKIPPER ANN GILLIGAN

	We see that Gilligan is now glued to the boat 
	with his feet completely off the ground. He's 
	kicking his feet in response. 

				GILLIGAN
			Well,… 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			…at least I'm closer to my shoe.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan! We have go to be calm and 
			logical. Now lets think.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

				GILLIGAN
			Right! Think!

	Gilligan tries to look like he's thinking by 
	placing his hand up against the side of his head.
	Needless to say, it gets stuck there too.

				SKIPPER
			I've got it. What we need it leverage.

				Gilligan
			Yeah! Why don't you grab the rail and 
			PUSH.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

				SKIPPER
			Good idea Gilligan.

	The skipper grabs the rail, but he too has glue 
	on his hand and is now firmly affixed to the 
	rail.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

	The skipper realizes the mistake and looks 
	frustrated.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

	Gilligan knows what happened and just looks off 
	into space as if he doesn't know what's going on. 
	The skipper is really aggravated.

				SKIPPER
			Ahhhhhhh!

				MR HOWELL
			Lovey here's a nice…

			No no you men! That's an indoor perfume,

	She grabs a different bottle.

				MRS HOWELL
			Ahhhh! This…this is a lovely fragrance. 
			Not too heavy, not too light, and just a

WIDE SHOT

	The skipper is working on the boat. All the holes

			Skipper?

				SKIPPER
			Go away Gilligan.

	Where ever the skipper goes, Gilligan follows.

				SKIPPER
			Don't bother me now! I'm re-gluing the

	Gilligan doesn't look where he's going and trips 
	and falls.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER

	The skipper looks down at Gilligan disappointingly.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan! 

	Gilligan pops up into view.

				SKIPPER
			Don't you realize that if the professor 
			hadn't thought of using Mrs. Howell's 
			perfume to dissolve this glue you'd 
			still have us stuck to the boat!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah, you still smell pretty skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Oh!

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper can I help? Huh?

				SKIPPER
			All right Gilligan you can help.

			Aye, aye, aye…ice bergs!? Skipper we're

				SKIPPER
			I know, that's why they're hard to find. 
			Now run along.

				GILLIGAN
			Well I don't know skipper I think if I

	The skipper raises a brush full of glue at 
	Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, if you open your mouth once 
			more!

	Gilligan gets the hint.

				SKIPPER
			Anything to say?

	Gilligan remains quiet and shakes head no.

			at sea…

			Oh!
