	Gilligan quickly turns off the radio.

				SKIPPER

				GILLIGAN
			They weren't talking about you skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan yes they were talking about me.

	The skipper gets up very upset and depressed.

				GILLIGAN
			No they weren't.

				SKIPPER
			Oh!

	The skipper slowly starts to make his way to the jungle.

				GILLIGAN
			Where you going!

				SKIPPER
			I can't face anyone! I mean, I'd be 
			better off dead!

				GILLIGAN
			No skipper.

				SKIPPER
			It's all my fault!

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper!?

	The skipper walks off into the jungle and off 
	camera. Gilligan starts to follow him and gets 
	tangled in the fishing net.

	in frustration, and continues walking. 

CUT TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

	The professor and Gilligan are discussing the 
	news report Gilligan heard on the radio.

				PROFESSOR
			…and they actually blamed the skipper 
			for the shipwreck and the loss of the 
			Minnow?

PULL BACK FOR CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah it really shook him up! He ran off 
			and I can't find him! I'm afraid of what 
			he might do!

				PROFESSOR
			Like what Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			He might jump off a bridge!

				PROFESSOR
			Oh…

				GILLIGAN
			Or lay on a railroad track!

				PROFESSOR
			…Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Or get hit by a truck!

				PROFESSOR
			You're not thinking. We don't have a 
			bridge, we don't have a train, we don't 
			have a truck!

				GILLIGAN
				(HAPPILY)
			Oh yeah! Well there's nothing to worry 
			about!

				PROFESSOR
			Except jumping off a cliff.

				GILLIGAN
			There's something to worry about.

				PROFESSOR
			I'll go find him, you tell the others.

MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND GINGER

	They discuss the skipper's situation as they walk 
	towards the camera.

PULL BACK WITH GILLIGAN AND GINGER TO MAINTAIN MEDIUM SHOT

				GINGER
			You don't really think the skipper would 
			hurt himself do you?

				GILLIGAN
			Ginger when a skipper looses his ship, 
			they take away his captain's papers.

				GINGER
			But he wouldn't kill himself.

				GILLIGAN
			But you don't understand! He'll never 
			have his own ship again! He can never 
			sail at the helm of his own ship!

				GINGER
			But that doesn't mean he's going to kill 
			himself does it!?

				GILLIGAN
			Ginger if you were in the skipper's 
			shoes, what would you do?

	Ginger thinks a moment.

				GINGER
			Kill myself.

FLIP TO: EXT – HUT CLEARING – DAY

CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND MARY ANN

				MR HOWELL
			What's the matter my dear?

				MRS HOWELL
			I think I, have a pebble in my shoe.

				MR HOWELL
			Oh yes yes we'll…just sit down, on this 
			log my dear. 

	Mr. Howell helps Mrs. Howell sit on a large rock 
	and takes off her shoe.

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Ah, there we are. I do hope we find the 
			captain in time.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh yes, he's such a dear. Thurston when 
			we get off the island, don't you think 
			you could buy him a little token of our 
			esteem? 

				MR HOWELL
			I know just the gift for a sea fairing 
			man, the Queen Mary!

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh what a marvelous suggestion! It'll go 
			so well with his blue eyes!

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

WIDE SHOT OF SKIPPER

	The skipper is sitting on a log as he makes a 
	noose made from a vine. He's looking particularly 
	depressed as he talks to himself. We see Gilligan 
	in the distant background searching for the 
	skipper.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper!

				SKIPPER
			This may be the coward's way out but, 
			when a captain looses his ship!

	Gilligan runs up a path from behind the skipper 
	and finds him. 

SLOW ZOOM IN FOR MEDIUM SHOT

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan please be careful. You might 
			trip over this and break your neck.

				GILLIGAN
			I thought I'd be too late!

				SKIPPER
			Well you're just in time so sit down and 
			weave those on the other end of this 
			vine.

	Gilligan sits next to the skipper and starts 
	weaving two vines together.

SLOW ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP

				GILLIGAN
			Sure.

				SKIPPER
			It's gotta be long enough Gilligan to go 
			over the limb of that tree.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, it'll be long enough skipper. I sure 
			am glad you're alive! If you were dead 
			I wouldn't know what to say to you.


				SKIPPER
			Oh, how's your end coming?

				GILLIGAN
			It's almost done. Everybody else is out 
			looking for ya too.

	The skipper gives the vine a good tug.

				SKIPPER
			I think this will do it.

				GILLIGAN
			Nobody wants to see ya die!

				SKIPPER
			Will ya hurry it up please Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah there it's finished skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Yeah it's all finish alright. Lets go 
			throw it over the limb.

	The skipper and Gilligan get up off the log and 
	make their way to a tree behind them.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper tries to throw the noose over the 
	limb of a nearby tree. He tries but fails.

				GILLIGAN
			Here skipper let me do that for ya ok?

	Gilligan takes the noose end and gets it over the 
	limb. The noose drops down in front of Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			There you are skipper a perfect…

	Gilligan's eye's get wide as he now knows what 
	he's been working on.

				SKIPPER
			Now all we have to do is tie off this 
			other end.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh no skipper! I'm not gonna to let you 
			do it! I'm not gonna let you do it 
			skipper! I'm not gonna let you do it!

	Gilligan pulls the vine down out of the tree. 

				SKIPPER
			Well there are other ways.

	when the Ginger runs on camera.

				GINGER

	The skipper grabs Ginger as she nearly runs into him. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GINGER

				SKIPPER

	The skipper is holding Ginger by the arms.
 
				SKIPPER
			Don't ever scare a guy like that, I 
			could have killed myself! 

				GINGER
			Sorry skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Well it's all right cause, really that's 
			what I had in mind anyway.

				SKIPPER
			Ginger, nobody needs me.

				GINGER
			Well I do.

				SKIPPER
			Oh come on you got, Gilligan, you got, 
			Mr. Howell, you got the professor. 

				GINGER
			Gilligan is just a boy, Mr. Howell is a 
			married man, and the professor's just 
			interested in my mind.

CUT TO: STOCK SHOT OF OCEAN SURF AGAINST ROCKY SHORE FROM CLIFF

				SKIPPER

				SKIPPER

			ALONE alone.

				GINGER
			Look I've got a wonderful idea. Why 
			don't we two, take a lovely little walk 
			along beach. You know that, pretty 
			little cove.

	The skipper starts to walk off with Ginger when 
	he suddenly pulls away and heads for the cliffs edge.

				SKIPPER
			Ginger I know exactly what you're trying 
			to do. You're trying to stop me from 
			killing myself and it won't work!

	Just as the skipper is at the edge, Mary Ann 
	comes running on camera.

				MARY ANN
			Skipper!

	She heads for the skipper and grabs him tightly. 

				MARY ANN
			Skipper I'm going with you!!

	The skipper grabs her and keeps the both of them 
	from going over the edge.

				SKIPPER
			Mary Ann, please! I want to be alone!

				MARY ANN
			I won't let you jump!

	The skipper sees that it's not going to work and 
	gives up.

				SKIPPER
			      (DEPRESSED)
			Ok.  You girls win. 

				GINGER
			Oh Mary Ann you did it!

	The girls are happy the skipper didn't leap to 
	his death, but the skipper looks more depressed 
	than ever as we…

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

CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER WITH GILLIGAN IN BG

	Gilligan is observing the skipper from outside 
	the hut. As he watches through the window, we see 
	the skipper sitting at the table, his head 
	propped up on his fist in a state of depression.

			He's just sitting in a chair staring 
			straight ahead.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER AND MARY ANN

				MARY ANN
			Oh the poor skipper.

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			You know I thought about it…

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			…and I thought about it and I've gone 
			over the entire voyage and I can't think 
			of a solitary thing the skipper did 
			wrong.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER AND MARY ANN 

				GINGER
			Neither can I.

				MARY ANN
			Neither can I.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

				GILLIGAN
			That makes three of us!

	Gilligan does a recount using his fingers and 
	looks confused.

				GILLIGAN
			Four.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GROUP

	The professor gets up from the table and walks 
	around as he talks, while Gilligan sits down.

				PROFESSOR
			The skipper took every precaution, He 
			used every conceivable thing for our 
			safety. How can we convince him that he 
			wasn't at fault? 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN, GINGER AND PROFESSOR

				GINGER
			I don't know if this will help but, 
			i…i…in every movie that I ever made, 
			they always solved the mystery by re-
			creating the crime.

				PROFESSOR
			Ginger that's a splendid idea! We could 
			re-enact the sinking of the Minnow.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GROUP

				MARY ANN
			You mean do it exactly the way it 
			happened?

				PROFESSOR
			Well sure! The wind the rain the entire 
			storm! Well that's a wonderful idea!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			I don't think it's a marvelous idea.

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			Why not?

				GILLIGAN
			Because the first time, we were almost 
			killed!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN, GINGER AND PROFESSOR

	They just stare back with a puzzled look.

FLIP TO EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

MEDIUM SHOT OF PROFESSOR AND SKIPPER

	The skipper and professor are in the jungle 
	discussing the shipwreck. The skipper paces back 
	and forth trying to make sense of it all. 

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper we're sure it wasn't your fault!

				SKIPPER
			Professor all my life I've lived by the 
			rules of the sea. The maritime board 
			found me guilty, I must be guilty.

				PROFESSOR
			Oh of what!

				SKIPPER
			I don't know! But I must a done 
			something wrong! Otherwise they wouldn't 
			have found me guilty!

ZOOM IN FOR CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
			All right then. Lets try to find out 
			what it was you did that was wrong.

WIDE SHOT OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

	The skipper and professor walk out of the jungle

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE CLEARING – DAY

EXTREME WIDE SHOT OF SIMULATED BOAT

	We see a simulated boat made from bamboo, vines 
	and wood planking. Gilligan is standing on the 
	deck while Mary Ann and Ginger are near the bow 
	of the boat with an odd assortment of equipment. 
	The skipper and professor walk on camera and head 
	for the boat.

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper, we thought we'd re-create the 
			voyage from just before the storm hit, 
			until we were beached.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GINGER AND MARY ANN

	Mary Ann is seated on a bicycle unit that powers 
	a fan. In her hand is a cord that pulls on a 
	hammer like arrangement for beating against a 
	piece of sheet metal.

				MARY ANN
			I'm wind and thunder.

	Ginger is standing next to the generator and has 
	buckets of water near her.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF PROFESSOR, SKIPPER WITH GILLIGAN IN BG

	Gilligan is standing on the deck of the simulated 
	boat while the professor and the skipper stand 
	near a gang plank leading up to the ships deck.

				PROFESSOR
			Now try and remember every order you 
			gave during that storm.

				SKIPPER
			Oh come on professor now, you know this 
			is just a lot of nonsense. I know you 
			went to a lot of work…

				PROFESSOR
			Well let's give it a try!

				SKIPPER
			All right well you did so much I guess I 
			can go along with it um, maybe we can 
			learn something!

				PROFESSOR
			Now try to remember to give the orders 
			exactly the way you gave on the Minnow! 
			And Gilligan, the only thing you can do 
			to help is to listen and obey!

	The skipper walks up the gangplank and ducks 
	under the bamboo railing of the boat while the 
	professor makes his way to the stern of the boat.

CUT TO: EXTREME WIDE SHOT OF GROUP

	The skipper is standing behind Gilligan who is at 
	the wheel steering the ship. Mary Ann and Ginger 
	are standing by with their equipment and the 
	professor is at the stern ready to rock the boat 
	using long vines that go over a large tree limb 
	and down to the boat.

				SKIPPER
			Now Gilligan, Now let me see. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			As I recall, just before the storm hit 
			we had a heading of zero six two.

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye sir, zero six two.

	Gilligan with great deftness, slaps the wheel 
	smartly around and halts it on the proper course.

				SKIPPER
			It was right then that the storm hit.

	Gilligan turns in place, putting him face to face 
	with the skipper and running into him.

	Gilligan turns back to the wheel and gives it a 
	spin as if turning the boat around.

	camera in Gilligan's direction.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	A big wave hits him in the face making him spit

				SKIPPER
			Something's wrong Gilligan! We're still 
			moving!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah! And we're headed for the rocks! 
			Right for the rocks skipper!

	Gilligan panics and starts hanging on the 
	skipper. They are both having great trouble 
	staying upright as the boat rocks, the wind blows 
	and the waves break over the bow. They stumble 
	from side to side trying to stay on board.

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

	With the professor tugging on the vines, the 
	skipper and Gilligan lose footing and fall off

	The girls stop the weather.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

	The professor runs off camera to see if they're ok.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT OF GROUP

				PROFESSOR
			Are you all right!?

	The skipper and Gilligan are both laying in the

	frustration. The girls and professor stand 
	nearby.

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper did you find out what went 
			wrong!?

ZOOM IN FOR MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			I think so.

	The skipper looks directly at Gilligan.


				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, when you threw the anchor aver 
			board, was the anchor line attached to 
			it?

	Gilligan looks to be in deep thought.

				GILLIGAN
			Anchor line attached?  Anchor line? WHAT 
			anchor line?

	The skipper now knows what went wrong and so does Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, well, nobody's perfect.

	The skipper is left with a look of disappointment 
	on his face as we…

			Well, you know, you're just taking this

				GILLIGAN
			You got to make sure it's very strong.

			You want to go first?

			Sure Gilli…no I don't mean this Gilligan. 

				GILLIGAN
			Well if you don't do this, then how
