Original subtitles

Today, Bob Denver stars in Castaways on Gilligan's Island.

The mate was a mighty sailing man, the skipper brave and sure.

Five passengers set sail that day for a three-hour tour.

A three-hour tour.

The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed.

If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the minnow would be lost. The

minnow would be lost.

The ship's aground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle. With Gilligan,

the skipper too.

The millionaire and his wife.

The movie star, the professor and Marianne. Here on

Gilligan.

will you please get lost?

I am lost. We're all lost, remember?

Oh, I remember only too well.

And who's responsible for getting us lost and shipwrecked? You know who that

is, don't you? Of course, I did. Don't you remember?

Gilligan, I'm telling you, if we don't find some fresh water pretty soon, being

shipwrecked is going to be the least of our problems.

What's the most?

We'll all be dead.

That's the most, all right.

Salt water again.

That tidal wave has wrecked all the underground springs.

With this equipment we've got, we just can't seem to reach fresh water.

But I'll have to keep on trying.

Yeah, let me help you, Skipper.

Just as I expected.

What?

Skipper, would you go drill your own well?

Professor, have you seen my coconut?

Yes, Gilligan, it's right there.

Oh, thanks.

You know, Gilligan, I have spent the last ten minutes trying to put these

things together.

You didn't do a very good job, did you?

Gilligan, you have an absolute knack for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time.

No, sometimes I do the wrong thing at the right time or the right thing at the

wrong... You took the whole radio apart.

That's right, I am trying to get it to work.

Why don't you put it back together again?

Gilligan, these wires are corroded. The condensers are full of salt water and

the solid state circuitry is cracked.

Maybe that's why it doesn't work.

I do wish those turtles would lay rounder eggs.

Perhaps they'd grow better if you hard-boiled them.

Capital idea, lovey. That way the yolks wouldn't slot so much.

Mr. Howell?

Gilligan.

That was a gimme.

I fixed the radio!

I fixed the radio!

You did it! You did it! Storms are predicted throughout the area.

Rain squalls are due by late afternoon.

And here is the latest word on the search for the Minnow 2.

This is the 12th day since the tiny craft was lost in a storm at sea.

The Coast Guard announced they are abandoning their search.

It must be presumed that all hands were lost.

We now resume our scheduled program, Happy Talk.

Pardon me Huh propeller

the engine propeller engine airplane

It

is an airplane

And an engine!

I

can't

believe it!

Professor, the guy that landed this plane sure must have been some pilot,

huh?

Well, Gilligan, this plane has been falling apart for the last 20 years,

just like your brain.

Professor, how did this airplane here, this ungainly thing, and that aircraft

over there, explain to me, how did they get here?

Yeah, in the machine shop.

I've given that a lot of thought.

Two disabled military aircraft in the work shed with tools and drums of

gasoline.

I believe that indicates that there was probably an emergency landing strip on

this island during the war.

Covered over through the ears by the jungle.

Listen, I got a great idea. Why don't we put the two planes together, make one,

and then you can fly us out of here, Professor.

Oh, Gilligan, that is the dumbest, the stupidest, the most ridiculous, lame

-brained idea you ever had. No, no, no. Hold on a second, Skipper. Maybe

Gilligan's got something.

And it's not dumb or stupid.

How about ridiculous or lame-brained?

No, no. Listen. When I was back in the States, I saw a movie on television.

The Flight of the Phoenix.

Oh, I saw that too, Professor. That was a great movie. You see, these guys are

flying in a plane over the desert like this. All of a sudden, one engine on one

side started coughing.

And the other side started wheezing.

And then the wings started wobbling like this. And then they crashed right into

the sand.

And there was sand everywhere. Sand, sand, sand.

Water, water, water.

Get the dear boys from water. What is he prattling about?

One of the men in the movie figured out how to take various parts from a wrecked

airplane and construct a plane that can fly.

That's exactly what I meant.

Professor, you mean it's your intention to build an aircraft from these two

wrecks? Precisely.

My good man, I'd sooner fly with Wrong Way Feldman.

Hey,

look what I found.

Oh,

that's only your opinion.

those two aircraft should make a plane that will fly it's amazing professor

absolutely amazing

congratulations

professor you have the only computer in the world that gives milk i

don't know if this panel is strong enough for an airplane

Ginger, it doesn't go on the outside of the plane. It goes on the inside.

If the professor says something will work, it'll work.

I mean, he has an engineering degree, you know, even if it isn't aeronautical.

He knows all about stresses and strains of material and about aerodynamics and

the theory of flight. Oh, and don't forget those flying lessons.

Are you trying to convince me?

No, I'm trying to convince me.

Now, Gilligan, would you spread that pole?

Skipper, do you know what we're making?

No, don't you?

No, I thought you did.

Well, I don't know.

Well, who knows?

Well, the professor, I guess. He drew the plans. Well, I'm glad somebody

knows, because if nobody knew, we'd never know when we were finished.

Just a couple more feet.

That's good.

All right, hold it right there.

Oh, boy, that was hard work. I'm pooped.

Okay, we're ready to start hoisting the wing into place. Now, Gilligan, you take

that line and go as far as you can that way.

Wait a minute. You expect me to lift this wing by myself?

Well, it's based on the laws of physics.

That pulley, used as a fulcrum, will enable you to lift four tons or more.

Four tons?

By myself?

Oh, boy.

All right, Gilligan, here you go.

Shouldn't we be helping in some way, Thurston?

We are, lovey. We are.

We are?

Yes, they haven't the time, so we're resting for them. Oh, good.

I'm so glad we're doing our share.

To us, darling.

Who else?

Hey, have I got it up yet?

Not yet. Keep going.

I've got to stay here and help the skipper move the wing into place.

Okay, Gilligan, you're ready to start lifting.

Four tons feels more like 40

tons.

everybody's part, but we finally did it. Exactly. What have we done, Professor?

Don't you remember the flight of the Phoenix?

This looks more like the wreck of the Hesperus.

It's obviously a no-frill flight.

I feel like I'm back in Hollywood in a disaster movie.

It looks perfectly safe to me, as long as it stays on the ground.

Professor, straight from the shoulder, do you really think this plane will get

us to Hawaii?

Well, I'm not sure.

So perhaps there's no reason for all of us to risk our lives. If I go alone, and

I make it, i can send back help we can't let him risk his life to save ours can

we why not professor even if you get back to civilization how can you send

help we don't even know where we are that's true marianne i think we should

all go i believe you all have a right to your own decision now if you're going to

go raise your right hand if you're going to stay raise your left

Now, you really must make a choice. I mean, where would you rather be?

Now really, you must make a choice.

Professor, we've all been through a lot together.

I, for one, say that we shouldn't separate now.

Unfortunately, the batteries aboard both planes are dead, so I couldn't activate

either one. Hopefully, you'll be able to create sufficient amperage to arc the

condensers, bypassing the rheostat, so we can start the generators.

You all understand?

Yeah. Do you think if you arc to the rheostat, the condenser will act? Never

mind him, Professor.

Just get in the plane, and we'll get your engine started.

Whatever that means.

Professor, how's it going? Well, I've tried changing the fuel mixture.

I've made it richer, and I've made it leaner.

I've tried changing the prop pitch, but I can't seem to eliminate the vibration

and the structural damage.

Oh, well, as long as there's nothing wrong.

There's plenty wrong.

I'm fighting to keep this plane in the air.

I better tell the others. No, don't. You'll start a panic. I don't want you

to say one word about this.

Not one word. Believe me, I won't say one word.

mine is custom made professor

professor how serious is it gilligan you gave me your word i didn't say one word

i swear it all i did was give out the parachutes they took a wild guess at the

moment there's no cause for alarm skipper

With just one engine, we're not going to be able to maintain our altitude, so

you're going to have to get us in everything that isn't nailed down. All

right, Professor.

Come on. Here we go.

Move. Hard back.

Don't put the lip in your face, Skipper. We must be in trouble.

With a capital T. And a capital R. And a capital O.

We've got to jettison everything we can.

Everything. Everything.

to his chin.

Did I see a parachute?

He was killing it. He fell off. We've got to go back.

Oh, no.

Sidney told me that. I had good news.

With all the weight you jettison, the one engine has enough power to get us to

civilization. But we have to go back and try and find him. We don't know whether

he's down in the water or whether he made it back to the island. We've got to

go back.

You're right, of course.

But I must tell all of you this ends our chance of rescue.

With only one engine, we'll never be able to take off again.

Set her down, Professor.

After you, lovey.

Do we have to go to Newcastle?

Oh, I don't know.

Professor, remind me to buy you International Airport.

Well, if we hadn't come back to look for my little buddy, we'd have all been

killed. You're right, Skipper. The way that engine was vibrating, it would have

fallen off in midair.

Coming back to look for Gilligan undoubtedly saved our lives.

We don't even know where he is or even if he's alive Well, let's get out of

here and start looking for him

Let's

divide up and form search parties Goodie, I love parties.

No, no, dear. He means we must search for Gilligan.

Oh, well, of course. What would a party be without Gilligan?

It could be any place, even in the ocean.

Let's look everywhere, high and low.

Just look high.

It's Gilligan.

Hi, little buddy. Taking in the tree.

Are you all right?

It's all my fault. It's all my fault.

If I hadn't fallen out of the plane, the engine would have dropped off and we'd

all be dead. Instead of looking forward to dying in three days when the water

runs out. Oh, come, come, Gilligan. None of us is going to die.

Now, let's be logical.

Let's figure out our options.

We only had a boat.

I have a boat. Yeah, but we don't.

It's lucky for us that you happened to land here. Not luck at all. A plane was

spotted on radar, and when the blip disappeared from the screen, we thought

it had gone down.

So we started an immediate rescue operation.

Hey, fellow castaways, wait a minute. Hey, I have an announcement.

To commemorate the many years that we have lived here, I have decided to

design a living tribute on this very island.

A living tribute?

A tropical Shangri-La. And for this purpose, money is no...

object you said money is no object good heavens i did yes i may

swoon i think i will

lovey

isn't this beautiful first in building this hotel is the best idea you ever had

except for marrying me

The Castaways. A hotel with no telephone, no cars, no television, no

electricity.

Just the way we lived when we were shipwrecked on this island 15 years ago.

And I was very generous, my dear. I made our fellow Castaways partners on this

island paradise.

Silent partners, of course.

Welcome to the castaways.

Now, please, folks, watch your step as I help you ashore.

There you are, good sir.

Madam, please.

Welcome ashore.

Ah, lovely.

There you are, little lady.

There you are, good sir.

Welcome ashore, young fella.

Gilligan, get the mail sack.

Oh, really? Gilligan, when you get through with that, I'd like you to start

decorating the Luau area with these masks. Oh, I think they're hideous. This

one looks something like your mother. Oh, first of all, she doesn't look at

all like that. Not this one. I mean that one.

Oh, yes, it is rather like her. I found them on the other side of the island.

They're a remarkable example of ancient Polynesian art.

Mr. Professor, you cannot use masks for Luau.

They are evil masks.

Bring bad luck.

Nahidi, those stories about bad luck are simply old native superstitions.

Nahidi, remember many times, bad luck come from evil masks.

Nahidi, there is no such thing as bad luck or good luck. Now, these masks will

make wonderful decorations for the luau.

Well, folks, your luggage is on the inside. Here's your key.

And I do hope that you and your son enjoy your visit with us. Oh, uh, that

boy on the launch isn't with us. Maybe he's with the other couple. Oh, well,

then I do hope that you enjoy your visit with us.

Aloha.

Gilligan.

You know, it's surprising how many people want a little peace and quiet.

I think the whole world wants to come to this isle. Oh, boy, think of all that

luggage. Every overnight, bags and handbags and tote bags and trunks.

Here

you are,

sir.

And we'll be right back with a nice, comfortable cot for your son.

Our son?

Why, yes, the boy that came off the cruise ship with you.

He's not ours. He must belong to the other couple.

Enjoy yourselves.

Aloha.

That's funny.

That young boy that came off the cruise ship, he's not with the Larsons, he's

not with the Elliotts either.

Well, if he's not with the Larsons, he's not with the Elliotts, he must be here

by himself.

Why, Killigan, that's something you never used before.

Logic.

And that means he got off the cruise ship by himself, huh?

Two in a row?

I'm very proud of you. It must be a mystery, right?

Wrong, Gilligan.

Well, two out of three is not bad.

You see, it's not a mystery. There must be a simple explanation for it.

The boy's parents are already on the island. He just came ashore to join

them. Oh.

The trouble with you, Gilligan, is you leap to conclusions.

Ah, the huts, those beaches, the palm trees. Have you ever in your life seen a

prettier sight?

Yes, the bill of sale on a Benson property.

Would you stop thinking about business?

You're on vacation.

I don't know how I ever let you talk me into this.

Everybody needs to relax once in a while. Not me.

Relaxing makes me nervous. Look.

You're getting withdrawal pain.

Is that all you brought?

Suits? Where's your sports shirts and swim trunks?

None of them fit me anymore.

Well, it's no wonder.

You haven't worn them in ten years.

Do you know you've been working 16 hours a day, seven days a week without

vacation? Well, that's the real estate business, Myra. You gotta be on your

toes every minute or somebody will step on them.

You know something, Henry?

You're getting to be a workaholic. And you know something? You're getting to be

a nagaholic. How can we afford our home and our two cars and our two kids and...

Three kids.

Oh, yeah.

Three kids.

Was that the phone?

Honey, there are no phones on this island.

I could have sworn I heard a phone.

It's in your head.

Besides, that's why we came here. To get rid of all those pressures.

Lord knows what's happening back at the office.

Nothing is happening back at the office. That's what I'm afraid of. If I'm not

there, who will make things happen, huh? You have very efficient, reliable people

helping you. Yeah, sure.

If I'm there watching them.

There goes that phone again.

Henry, now if you're not careful, you're going to have a nervous breakdown.

Don't be silly.

I haven't got time for it.

You brought your briefcase?

Do you mean to tell me you're going to spend your time on this beautiful island

working on those stupid contracts?

If it wasn't for these beautiful contracts, we couldn't afford to stay on

this stupid island.

Come on, here we go.

He's got to get this stuff ready for the big luau.

Skipper, I'm worried about those masks.

Well, you heard what the professor said.

There's absolutely no truth to those old superstitions. Oh, remember what that

heedy said about evil spirits and bad luck?

There is no such thing as bad luck.

I'm sorry, Skipper. But you see, it proves that we're having bad luck.

Listen, Gilligan, your bad luck hasn't started yet. Now, come on!

Oh, what a fabulous morning this is. Oh, come on, Henry.

Henry, you've got to lighten up. Now, come on.

Oh, Skipper.

Yes, ma'am. Where can we find some suntan lotion?

In the lobby. Oh, but Mrs. Elliott, I wouldn't dream of having you go all the

way back to the lobby.

When people are on vacation, they shouldn't have to do anything for

themselves.

Now, Gilligan, would you go back to the lobby and get the suntan lotion for Mrs.

Elliott? Aye, aye, sir.

Good help is always so hard to find.

That's what I've been trying to tell my wife.

I'll have Gilligan bring the suntan lotion to the beach.

Come on, Henry, this is it.

Yeah, show yourselves.

Watch out! Don't knock it down, Julie.

Oh, what a...

Perfect day.

Any day is perfect when I can get away from my practice.

Oh, I really need these two weeks every year.

Hi.

Oh, hi. How are you? Come on, sit down. No, John, what are you doing? Hey, take

off the shirt and tie.

Loosen up.

Oh, I wait all year long to get away from the grind.

Oh, and he means grind.

He's a dentist.

Thanks a lot.

Did you know that Arizona is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in

the country?

Property values in Phoenix have risen over 37% in the last three years.

Look, see, I'm forgetting about teeth. Why don't you forget about real estate,

huh? Soak up the sun.

Later on, we'll play some tennis, do some horseback riding, maybe catch a few

fish. Oh, that'd be great, huh?

Sounds terrific, doesn't it, Henry?

Henry?

What?

Never mind.

Okay.

Hi, Mr. Elliott.

Here's your suntan lotion.

Oh, thanks.

Listen, I gotta make a call. Where's the nearest phone, huh?

Honolulu. But that's 400 miles away. I'm talking about the nearest phone on this

island. There is no phone on this island. There is no phone, no

newspapers, no radios, no cars. I know all about that, but nobody can tell me

that there's not a phone on this island.

You're right. I'm telling you, and I'm nobody.

But what if there's an emergency?

Suppose somebody has an attack of appendicitis. Well, in that case, we

phone Honolulu.

Aha, you said phone. Who said phone? You did. I did. Yeah. I know I heard it

somewhere. Look, I gotta go help the skipper, okay? All right, but there must

be a phone somewhere in the lobby.

Of course, but you'll never guess where.

Okay, but now I know there's a phone in the lobby, huh?

Who said so? You did. I did.

Me and my big mouth. Look, I gotta leave before I tell you about the secret

hiding place.

Secret hiding place?

Who? You did.

I'd like to use the phone, please.

Phone? You mean telephone?

Yes. Sorry.

Oh, yes. No phone on the island, right?

Like you say.

I make leave for Luau.

Okay.

Operator, this is Henry Elliott.

I want to make a collect call to the Henry Real Estate Company in Cleveland,

please. Area code 216-555-3604.

Phone in a tree.

Must be a trunk lamp.

What's that?

Well, keep trying, operator.

Somebody's got to be there.

Hi.

Have you seen Mr. Elliott?

He was here before, but I do not see him now.

Thank you, maybe.

for you well I've been right there inside the tree inside the tree yeah I

was making a phone call oh here's your suntan lotion a nervous breakdown it was

bound to happen

having a breakdown it just so happens the only phone on this island is in that

tree it's hidden there in case of emergencies oh isn't that clever an

unlisted tree you know i tried to call the office and nobody's there it's just

as i suspected while the cat's away the mice will play henry you forgot about

the time difference it's four in the morning back there well that's no excuse

somebody should be in the office if i were there i'd be there that's why

you're here forget about the office

I just wanted to find out if the Michelson deal went through and about

the Johnson escrow. Well, you can't find out about it now.

I'll try again later.

I just hope that tree isn't busy.

Thurston, you dislocated my disc.

I know I did, my dear. Well, let me see.

That's another $10 million that you owe me. It's those evil masks the professor

found. They bring bad luck. We Howells do not believe in bad luck.

I am not superstitious.

Thurston, you once threw a penny into wishing well.

No, you threw it in, and I dove in after it, remember?

Excuse me.

Ah, yes, dear Miss Daly. Are you enjoying your stay?

Oh, it's absolutely perfect.

Except for one thing.

Now, what is that? Could we make the sun rise a little earlier?

The sky a little bluer? The ocean a little warmer? We are at your service,

dear lady.

No, no, it's nothing like that. The castaways is ideal in every way.

The problem is my husband.

Husbands are always a problem, Mrs. Elliot.

Even Thurston isn't perfect.

Love her.

When you do snore.

Snore? Ooh, what you said.

A howl never snores. Perhaps a minute murmur through one nostril, but snore?

Never, my dear.

Tonight, I shall record you in stereo.

But tell me, what can we do for you and Mr. Elliot?

Well, you see, my husband cannot relax.

He's a workaholic. Good heavens.

Maybe it's contagious.

Perhaps we should quarantine the busy little bee. There must be something we

can do for Miss Elliott.

We shall consult our staff.

Don't worry, Mrs. Elliott. Your husband will be loose as a golden goose.

Oh, thank you.

I just hope you can get Henry to relax.

You're still very tense, Mr. Elliott.

Well, of course I'm tense.

I don't know why I let Myra talk me into this. Just say, I'm removing all nervous

energy from my body. I'm removing all the nervous energy from my body.

I'm relaxing my feet.

I'm relaxing my feet.

I'm relaxing my legs. I'm relaxing my legs. I'm relaxing my hips.

You may be relaxing your hips, but I'm up to my elbows in the Michelson deal.

Mr. Elliot, most men melt under my manipulation.

Most men enjoy taking a vacation. When I'm away from my office, I worry. Oh, I

think I'm going to need some help.

Marianne!

Hi. Hi.

How are you doing with Mrs. Lawrence?

Oh, great.

She's on her way to the sauna. Oh, good. I can use some help with Mr. Elliot.

He's so tense.

His muscles are just tied in knots.

All right, just say I'm relaxing my feet. Oh, we just closed that deal.

Maybe this will help you relax.

Tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle. Forget it, girls.

Everybody's ticklish.

What are you laughing at?

I'm ticklish.

Girls, I certainly want to thank you for your help. Oh, well, are you feeling

better now, Mr. Elliott?

I certainly am.

Now I know what to do with that Anderson warehouse.

Boy, that would make a perfect health club. You know that? With saunas and a

steam room and massage tables just like this and gymnasium equipment.

And it's in the perfect area of town.

Boy, we could sell those memberships for a fortune.

Oh, this is the greatest sport in the world.

Once you have a fish nibbling on the end of your line, you'll think about nothing

else. Believe me, Mr. Elliott, all your cares will disappear just like a banana

in the bottom of a monkey cage.

Look, Skipper, I really appreciate what you're all trying to do, but fishing

doesn't interest me.

Well, that's because you haven't had a nibble.

What's even worse is I haven't had a nibble yet on the McFarland property.

My briefcase. Where's my briefcase? Did I bring my briefcase? Mr. Elliott, you

don't need your briefcase. If we catch any fish, we'll put them in a pail.

Gilligan, he doesn't want to put fish in his briefcase.

It's right here behind Gilligan, Mr. Elliott.

thanks i got about four contracts i gotta love you well but mr elliott

you're supposed to be here on vacation skipper maybe if he rose a little bit he

can learn how to relax

We got him to relax.

Relax? I think he's drowning.

Yeah. Get him out of here.

Pull him in. Pull him in.

We've only begun to explore the mysteries of the ocean floor.

I have enough.

We were only in the water for ten minutes.

Jacques Cousteau spends every waking hour studying sea life.

Jacques Cousteau does not have a real estate business in Cleveland.

We're in Lake Erie, for that matter. Oh, we can use these shells to decorate the

luau. Ah, that's wonderful.

Now, look at this fascinating creature.

The oyster.

It spends a lifetime taking a grain of sand and turning it into a little pearl.

Two years. just to form one little pearl. Big deal.

I can put up a 40-story building in two years. Mr. Elliott, is that all you ever

think of? Real estate?

Frankly, yes.

Now, look, I know you've all been trying to help me to relax, but I'm afraid you

just cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Mr. Elliott. No, no, no. Thanks,

Professor. I'm going to find my wife and tell her it's not working.

And this is Henry's first vacation in years, and he's all wound up. I cannot

get him to unwind.

What did you marry, a man or a yo-yo?

Well, I don't have any problem getting a ton to take a vacation.

Right. Whenever I can get away from my patients, I go, only bridge I want to

see is London Bridge.

Mr. and Mrs. Howell said they'd help me with Henry.

They promised to keep him busy, you know, snorkeling and fishing and getting

massages. Well, do you think it's helped any? I don't know yet, but I am

determined to get his mind off that business, even if we have to stay an

extra week.

Or two weeks.

How are you going to get him to stay?

I'm not sure.

But I'll think of something.

We are simply not leaving this island until Henry learns to take it easy.

I'm putting my foot down.

Aloha. Aloha.

Nahidi, did you check on that young boy I asked you to find out about?

Skipper, I thought you said the boy belonged here in the island. You said

his family was here in the island. I said it was a mystery.

Gilligan, I know what I said, but it doesn't hurt to check on things.

Now, Nahidi, that boy does belong to one of the families here at the castaways,

right? Wrong.

I check on everybody, Mr. Skipper.

Nobody sent for boy.

Skipper? It's a mystery. I said it was a mystery. It's a mystery, right, Nahidi?

Not know about mystery, Mr. Gilligan.

Just know I check everybody in book.

No one knows about the boy. See that, Skipper? I was right and you were wrong.

I was right and you were wrong. I was right and you were wrong. Okay, okay,

okay. I'm sorry, Skipper. It's the first time you were wrong and I was right. You

were wrong and I was right. You were wrong and I was... Stop anger, Gilligan.

Why, I... Thank you, Nahidi.

Now, the important thing that we do is search for this boy and find out who he

is and what he's doing on the island. Right.

So we'll split up and tell the others to be on the lookout for him. Who are you

going to tell?

Well, I'll tell Marianne and Mr. and Mrs. Howell. Who's going to tell

Marianne and Mr. and Mrs. Howell? All right, I'll tell Ginger and the

professor. No, I'll tell Ginger and the professor. You can tell Marianne and Mr.

and Mrs. Howell. But if you want to tell Marianne and Mr. and Mrs. Howell, I'll

tell Ginger.

And one, and two, and three, and four, and one, and

two, and three, and four, and...

Marianne, I've got to ask you something. About what?

A boy.

One and two, who's? If I knew that, I wouldn't have to ask you. Well, I can't

wait till later.

You might see him. And five and six. And seven and eight. The boy. And nine

and ten. There is no nine and ten. And one and two. It's not a guest. And three

and four. It's not a guest.

It doesn't matter. He's not one of them.

Who does he belong to? It never happened to seven and eight. And three. We don't

know. That's the problem. And one. And two. I know, but I see them. And three.

He's wearing a football jersey that says seven. And five. And six. And eight. Why

did you say that in the first place? And three. And one. And three. And five. And

seven. And four. And six.

And one. And five.

Professor?

Hi, Skipper.

Hi. Hi.

I wanted to talk to you about... Aren't those the masks that we hung out for the

luau? That's right, Skipper.

Everybody was so worried about evil spirits, I thought I'd examine them a

little more carefully.

Wow. I thought maybe they got here by magic.

Hardly.

But I don't think anybody's going to be worried about evil spirits anymore.

What I found inside each of these so-called primitive Polynesian masks.

Read that label.

Made in Chicago, Illinois.

Chicago? Where did I tell the others?

That's right. They're just souvenirs made for tourists.

Now, what do you want to see me about, Skipper?

Professor, we've got a real problem.

Now, there's a boy on the island we don't know who he belongs to.

I see. He came ashore by himself.

Exactly. And he's been on the island all day long.

He may be a runaway, and the authorities may be looking for him. We'd better

locate him at once.

Ginger? Ginger, may I interrupt you for a minute?

Not now, Skipper. I'm rehearsing some hula steps that I have to teach the

guests.

But I've got something that I want to talk to you about.

Oh, there's going to be a hula contest at the luau.

It's about a little boy.

Oh, well, tell me while we dance.

Well,

I can't do the hula, Ginger.

Come on, can't hula.

Come on.

Well, while Gilligan and I were picking up some new guests from the cruise

ship... Is this better?

Oh, yes, that's better.

A little boy came ashore all by himself.

And we don't know why he's here or who he is or anything.

That's too fast, Gideon. Oh, that's too fast.

Calm down.

If you see a strange kid on the island, be sure to let me know, okay?

Keep dancing, Skipper. You're doing a great hula.

I am?

I'm really doing a hula?

Where'd you go?

I just want to talk to you. Where are you?

Thank you.

What's your name?

Robbie. Hi, Robbie.

Hi, Gilligan.

Listen, did you take Tarzan lessons?

Nah. I've been doing that stuff since I was a kid.

Since I was five.

Five? Yeah.

My mom and dad have been training me for the Olympics all my life.

Nothing but school and practice and school and practice. Even on Saturdays

and Sundays. You go to school on Saturdays and Sundays?

No, but eight hours practice those days.

Yeah, the only thing I practice eight hours a day is sleeping.

And you know what? That cruise ship was supposed to be a vacation.

They had parallel bars, rings, and a trampoline in the ship's gym.

Boy, some vacation, maybe for them.

Did you leave the ship on purpose or did you take a bad bounce on the trampoline?

You're neat.

Are you really good enough to be in the Olympics?

Well, I guess so. I win every meet I'm in.

Like my mom did when she was young.

Only she didn't make the Olympics.

I bet they must have missed me by now.

Your mom and dad?

Yeah. Once they realized we're not on the cruise ship, they figured this was

the only place I could be.

Hey, do you know a good place for me to hide?

Oh, yeah, I know a perfect place. A cave. I hid there once and I couldn't

even find myself.

Listen, I can't hide you from your parents. It wouldn't be right.

Well, just for a little while to give me a chance to figure things out.

Please, huh? I have to think.

Henry, come on. We'll be late for dinner.

Henry, look at you.

What's the matter?

Well, you haven't even shaved.

And you haven't combed your hair.

And where's your jacket? And your tie?

And look at your pants!

What's happened to you?

I don't know.

I guess this island living is getting to me.

Henry, you can't go to dinner like that.

Why not? This is a casual place.

Don't I look casual?

You look more like a casualty.

Henry, the first time we went to the beach, I couldn't even get you to take

your tie off.

Ah, yes, but since then I've been snorkeling and fishing and I had a

marvelous massage.

Oh, Myra, this is a fantastic place.

Have you been drinking? Yes!

I've been drinking in the sunshine, in the fresh air.

Myra, I've decided we're going to stay here another few weeks.

Oh, I can't believe it!

You can't believe what?

How did all this happen in one day?

I don't know.

This morning I was all wound up, and then all of a sudden... Lazy bones,

sitting in the sun. How you gonna get your day's work done?

Let's go to dinner. No, not like that. Come on, let me fix your hair. No, no,

no, no. I like this carefree look. It makes me feel relaxed.

Well, at least go take a shave.

No. I want my face to relax, too.

Henry.

But look at you.

And look at me.

Well, if you want a shave, that's okay with me.

Never mind.

Let's go.

Let me make this perfectly clear.

Now, I called this meeting to discuss the arrangements of our first luau.

But unfortunately, something very important has come up. Yes, those silly

masks that were supposed to be primitive were made in Cincinnati.

Chicago love you, my dear. Oh, Chicago, Cincinnati.

If it's not Beverly Hills, what difference does it make? That's not

exactly what I meant. Does anyone have any reports on the missing boy?

I haven't seen him around the shipwreck room or around the gym.

I've been in the lobby. I've been all through the galley. I can't find him

anywhere on the grounds.

I've looked all over, Mr. Howell. What about you, Gilligan? I haven't seen

Robbie either.

Robbie? How do you know his name?

Uh, well, Skipper saw the boy on the launch. What else could his name be but

Robbie? Well, but Gilligan's name could be anything.

Who ever heard of a boy named anything?

Oh.

Adjourned.

You know, little buddy, I've been thinking.

What do you suppose would make a young kid like that run away?

Maybe his parents wanted him to become an Olympic champion.

A what?

Only someone as far out as you would say something as far out as that.

Olympic champion indeed.

Just a wild guess.

Pretty wild, I'll tell you.

Well, good night, little buddy.

Good night, Skipper.

Good night, Robbie.

What'd you say?

What did you hear?

I heard you say goodnight, Robbie.

Robbie? Who's he?

The kid from the launch.

How did you know his name?

Goodnight, Gilligan.

Goodnight, Skipper.

So that's why you look like a beach bum. Sure, the whole thing was just an act.

And she really fell for it?

Hook, line, and sinker. I can't wait for her to come begging me to go home.

I'm going to hand it to you, Henry. That's a sneaky way to get off the

island. You should have seen her face when I told her we were going to stay

here for another two months.

Her mouth fell open so wide that you could have checked out all of her teeth

and her tonsils, too.

My tonsils are just fine, thank you.

Honey, I was just chatting here with the Larsons. So I noticed.

But for your information, I'd be perfectly happy to stay here for another

month. Or two.

Or three.

Three months? Oh, would you like to try for six?

By that time, your beard will be down to here. Now, wait a minute, honey. I have

got to get back to my business. Oh, really?

Don't you remember what you said?

The more I think about business, the less I think about business.

Yeah, but I just said that.

I know. I heard.

But I didn't mean it. Well, did I? Of course you didn't mean it. It was just

another underhanded, sly way to trick me, wasn't it?

Well, what's wrong with a man trying to make a living? Now, there's nothing

wrong with that, is there? There's nothing wrong with a man trying to make

a living, but there is certainly something wrong with a man who will not

take a vacation. Am I right? I've had a vacation. I've been away from my office

for over two days. Now, that's a vacation, isn't it?

That's not a vacation. That's a weekend.

True or false?

Well, come on. Which one of us is right? We haven't heard a word out of you two.

Well, actually... Now, just a minute.

We've reached a verdict.

Well, what is it?

In the opinion of this court, we would like you two to go argue someplace else

so we can enjoy our vacation.

Who asked you?

Did you just hear that?

What difference does it make, huh? I've got to get back to my business.

I still say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. And I say that

all play and no work makes Jack a jerk.

Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, you mustn't worry.

Your son is safe and sound on this island.

You can imagine how relieved we are. Yes.

But that poor boy, he hasn't eaten all day.

You sent for us, Mr. Howell? Oh, uh, Skipper Gilligan.

Remember the boy who came ashore yesterday?

Well, these are his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Sloan. How do you do?

When we found out Robbie wasn't training in the ship's gym, we started looking

for him. Well, when we realized he wasn't aboard, we were frantic.

Until someone told us that a small boy got off the ship yesterday with two

couples that were coming here.

Well, Skipper and Gilligan will search the island and find your son in no time

at all.

It's a very small island.

We've been trying to figure out why Robbie would run away.

Well, maybe you're making him train too hard for the Olympics.

How did you know he was training for the Olympics? Just a wild guess.

Wild guess, huh? If we could only see him, only talk to him, I'm sure we could

straighten this whole thing out.

Honestly, folks, I don't really know where Robbie is at the present moment,

but if you'll give me a couple of minutes, I think I can find out.

Robbie, huh?

A wild guess for the name of the kid on the launch, huh?

Training for the Olympics.

Another wild guess, huh? I'm getting pretty good at wild guesses, huh?

Listen, Gilligan, you better tell me where that kid is, or the only thing

wild around here is gonna be me.

I want to, but I can't.

You better.

It's a secret. Remember you told me how important it was to keep a secret? In

any way, you wouldn't want me to break my word to Robbie, would you?

Well, no, Gilligan, but don't you understand? His parents are worried

about him. And sometimes you can help someone by not keeping a secret.

I know, but maybe I can keep this secret and get Robbie and his parents together,

too. Will you trust me?

If you were me, would you trust you?

Not in a million years.

But it's real important to me, Skipper.

Okay, little buddy, you've got yourself a deal. Now get going!

Gilligan! Hi.

You got kind of low on... in the cave. I've been looking for you. Yeah, I just

met your parents, Robbie.

I thought they'd figure out I'm here. They're really worried about you.

Frantic. That's the word your mother used.

Did you tell them you talked to me?

No, no, no. That's our secret and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to keep

it.

Well, why?

Because running away doesn't do any good.

If somebody loves you, you've got to tell them how you feel.

I told the skipper and he trusts me, like now.

I'm going to have to tell him where you are.

You're no friend.

Robbie? Robbie?

Robbie? Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Sloan. Listen, I just left Robbie. I tried to get him

to come back with me, but he wanted some time alone.

Why? Well, he wants to think.

What does he have to think about?

We have everything planned for him.

He told me. Eight hours of school and eight hours of practice.

Well, maybe we've been too demanding, dear. Making too many schedules for

Robbie. Well, I always assumed it was what he wanted.

Well, me too.

But I always thought... Robbie!

Oh!

Oh, we're so happy you're safe.

Yeah, I'm safe.

Robbie.

Did you run away because we've been pushing you too hard?

We thought you wanted to be in the Olympics.

They thought you wanted to be in the Olympics.

But you never asked me.

You were always telling me. You never asked him. You were always telling him.

We were sure you wanted to compete.

They were sure you wanted to compete.

Well, do you want to compete?

Well, sometimes I do.

And sometimes I just want to be a normal kid.

But you're not a normal kid. You've got a God-given talent, and that makes you

special.

Yes, but you're right. It should be your decision.

You mean I can decide when I'm going to practice and how long?

Yes, Robbie.

It must have been very important to you.

Mom, I've been saying that for months.

Well, I guess there is a time for work and a time for play.

Sometimes we're like a lot of other parents.

Yeah, sometimes we just don't hear.

Put her there, pal.

I get to decide for myself.

Wow!

What a perfect setting for a perfect luau with a perfect host and a perfect

hostess. Oh, how perfectly sad, my dear.

Give that girl an extra dish of poi.

You mean this pot of glue? Mr. Gilligan, that is called poi.

Yes, on the islands, poi is like bread.

Still looks like glue.

I'm really sorry I put you through this, sweetheart.

I'm having a wonderful time.

Great, then let's come back next year.

Next year, nothing. We're coming back here in six months.

Oh, good.

Yeah, I'm going to talk to Mr. Howell about putting up some condominiums in a

shopping center on the other side of the island.

Henry.

Ahoy, mateys.

This is a wow of a luau, eh?

And you were also afraid of bad luck because of the evil Polynesian masks.

Until we found they were made in Cincinnati.

Lovey, I keep telling you, Chicago.

Thurston, I have as much right to an opinion as you have.

Well, now I can tell you. You know those labels in the masks that read, Made in

Chicago, Illinois?

Well, I made those labels myself.

You mean those were actually primitive, native Polynesian masks?

Precisely. and I hope I proved to you all just how absurd the ancient

superstitions really are.

I just pretended to find those labels in the masks, to show you there's no such

thing as evil spirits or bad luck.

What were you saying, Professor?

About bad luck? And ancient superstition?

No comment.
