Morning, skipper.
Morning, gilligan.
Can I help, sir?
Sure you can.
What do you want me to do?
I know. Sit down and shut up.
What?
That's what you always say
if I ask if I can help.
I do? Sit down and shut up?
Uh-huh.
Well, why should I say a thing like that?
I guess because you think
I'll goof something up.
Well, of course you'll goof something up,
but that's still no way
to talk to my little buddy.
No, it isn't. As a matter of
fact, I'm getting tired of it,
and someday, I'm liable just to jump ship,
if we ever get on a ship again.
Gilligan, you're absolutely
right, and I'm sorry.
But you know how I am. I spout
things off without even thinking.
But I promise I'll keep a check
on myself from now on, okay?
Okay. Still shipmates?
Yes, sir. Good.
Well, I'll get this breakfast
ready for the folks.
Skipper, can I help?
Sure you can, gilligan.
What do you want me to do?
Sit down and shut up.
Mr. Howell: Hello. Good morning there.
Good morning, gilligan.
Good morning, captain.
What's on the menu
for breakfast this morning?
Fruit and powdered eggs.
Wonderful. We'll have
some powered eggs Benedict.
Skipper, it's starting to rain.
Rain? Don't be silly, gilligan.
I just felt a raindrop
on my nose. Small wet.
Oh, that just means that
you're feeling good.
Oh, thurston, that only applies to dogs.
Oh, you're so right. I'm sorry, boy.
My, his coat is wet.
I felt a drop of rain, too.
Yes, you're so right, lovey.
Maybe we ought to find
a cave or something.
Relax, folks. This is
just a summer sprinkle.
Believe me, when a real
storm sets in, you'll feel it.
This isn't a real storm, huh?
No-o-o-o.
When do you think the real
big storms are going to start?
Gilligan, this is just a guess,
but I'd say the real big storms will start
in about 30 seconds ago.
Folks, today we had
a little touch of bad weather.
At this time, I'd like to say
thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Howell
for lending us these clothes
while ours are drying out.
Hear, hear.
Glad that we could be of
any help, skipper. Any time.
I hope it doesn't start to rain
while I'm wearing your beautiful coat.
Don't you worry, dear.
That's one of those new drip-dry foxes.
Skipper, these clothes are still wet.
Don't bother me with
those details, gilligan.
Go over to the fire and dry them out.
Aye, aye, sir.
Now, folks, I think one of the first things
that we must agree upon
is a permanent building
in which we will live, right?
I think that's a good idea.
Skipper, what am I going to hang
these clothes on to dry?
Don't bother me about that.
Use your head for once.
Now, I've drawn up a little plan
Of an idea that I have
that I think will be exactly what we need.
Well, I think it's very nice, captain,
but I'd like to see some of the
other models before we decide.
Yes. I like this one here.
It seems to have a functional floor plan,
and green is my favorite color.
Mr. Howell, that is a map of Australia.
Oh. Do you happen to know
how much they're asking for it?
I mean, I hate kangaroos.
Now, folks, I have only drawn one plan,
so if any of you have any
suggestions, I'd like to hear them.
I like it just fine, skipper.
Thanks a lot, gilligan.
What are you doing
with ginger's dress on?
Well, uh
I couldn't think of any
other way to dry it, skipper.
That's using your head for once.
Now, what do you folks think of my plan?
Sounds okay to me.
I think it's fine.
Could you build my place
down by the beach?
I think we'd be more
comfortable up in the hills.
I love the beach, but
weekends, everybody drops in.
Yes. Something hillside hut
looking down on the others.
Here you are, skipper, nice and dry.
Don't give it me. Give it to ginger.
Oh, here.
Hope you didn't stretch it.
No. And, Mary Ann,
yours'll be dry in a minute.
Now, folks, I want to
get one thing straight
we are not building individual huts.
The fact is, we'll have one permanent
building until we are rescued!
You mean all 7 of us are
going to live in one hut?
It'll be a lot quicker and a lot easier
if we all pitch in and work together.
Remember the old saying
"united we stand."
In a hut like that, that's
the way we'll sleep, too.
Well, I'll go along with the skipper.
If that rain this morning
was any indication,
we're in for an early storm season.
That's right, and that storm
might hit any moment now,
so we better get to work right away.
Well, I guess the skipper's right, dear.
We can build our house any time.
Yes, but not like that one.
I see sort of a southern colonial mansion
with the big wide verandas,
sort of a bamboo column, you know,
and we can plant the
whole thing with mint.
That's lovely. I always
wanted a plantation.
Yes, miss Scarlett. Absolutely.
Thanks for backing me up, professor.
It was the only practical
solution at the moment, skipper.
We'll do everything
we can to help, skipper.
Well, I really don't know
what you ladies can do.
Oh, anything. I used to be a girl
scout, and they teach you a lot.
I used to go with a boy scout,
and they teach you a lot, too.
Here you are, Mary Ann.
Real nice and dry.
Oh, thanks, gilligan.
Bye, girls.
Thanks a lot, gilligan.
Well, are my clothes dry yet?
A little too dry, skipper. See.
Oh, gilligan
[Thundering]
Announcer: Gathering clouds
are clear indication
that a tropical storm of considerable fury
may be expected shortly.
Coast guard warnings have been issued
to small craft in the area.
And the coast guard
officially announced today
that it has given up the search
for the 7 persons
aboard the s.S. Minnow,
a small excursion boat
which left Honolulu harbor last week
on a 3-hour sightseeing cruise.
In addition to first mate gilligan
and his skipper Jonas grumby,
the passenger list included
multimillionaire thurston ho
well III and his socialite wife
Hi, professor. Do you
want a drink of water?
No, thanks, gilligan.
Oh. Hi, Mr. Howell.
Want a drink of water?
No, thank you, gilligan.
What's that stuff?
Oh. Well, it's for
weatherstripping the hut.
It's a concoction
the professor dreamed up.
Oh, yeah? Hey, professor.
You know, you're really great.
I got to take these in to the skipper.
Whoops. Whoops.
Gilligan, will you watch
what you're doing?
We've got to have this
hut finished by tonight.
There's a storm brewing
out there someplace.
Ohh
D'oh. Thanks a lot, gilligan.
This is the only dry shirt I had left.
I'm sorry, skipper. Are we
gonna move in here tonight?
That's what the plan is. We'll
have to work until we drop.
Now get that water in the barrel.
Aye, aye, sir.
Oop.
Gilligan, will you put that water in there
while I get some more palm fronds?
Watch it. You'll get water in my punch.
Uh-oh.
Whoo. That was a close one.
Somebody could've stepped right
Into the Barrel?
Thanks to you, gilligan,
somebody already has.
I'm sorry, skipper.
You shouldn't stand on this.
It's too dangerous.
I'll go get you a ladder.
Never mind!
It's okay. It's right over there by the door.
That's a real good job, Mr. Howell.
Thank you. Thank you.
Professor: Aah!
[Thud]
What was that?
Professor, did you hear
something out here?
What?
Oh, you're taking a nap, huh?
That's okay, 'cause the
skipper'll drive you till you drop.
Go back to sleep.
[Thwack]
Oops.
Uh-oh.
I'm sorry, Mr. Howell.
I really am, Mr. Howell. I
I guess I just wasn't looking.
Yes.
Probably the stupidest thing
I ever did in my whole
Entire life.
Aah!
You want to bet on that, gilligan?
Gill
gilligan, you
I still can't believe
the place is really finished.
Gilligan, it's been a long day.
Why don't you hit the sack?
Yes, sir.
Oof.
Gilligan, why don't you try
jumping into the upper sack?
Good thinking, skipper.
Unh!
Gilligan, why don't you
get in the lower sack,
and I will get in the upper.
I hate to kick you out of your own bed.
There's just not enough room
for us both in the lower sack.
Well, don't stand there. Help me up.
[Snoring]
Ohh. Skip-per.
Mr. Howell: You can have
the bedroom all to yourself.
I'll sleep out here tonight.
Mrs. Howell: Sleep out there
tomorrow night, too.
What was that, gilligan?
Mr. Howell: I wonder if I
might trouble you for my pillow.
Mrs. Howell: Not at all.
Here's your pillow,
and here's your blanket,
and here's your Teddy bear.
[Gasps]
Teddy bear?
Teddy bear. Get up, please.
What is going on in here?
Never mind. It's a private matter.
It is not, and I want to know
what the captain has to say about it
and what gilligan has
to say about it and what
when you get around to me, I'd
like to say pipe down and get to sleep.
Nobody asked for your opinion.
Will you folks keep it quiet?
People are trying to sleep in here.
You're no help, shouting
at the top of your lungs.
I'm not shouting at the top of my lungs!
I'm trying to get some quiet.
If you want to keep quiet,
start with my wife.
She began the whole thing.
I began it?!
Yes, you did.
Listen, folks, why don't we
oh, shut up, will you, gilligan?
You can't tell gilligan to shut up.
I'll tell him when to shut up.
Thanks, skipper. Now, folks
shut up, gilligan!
Are you two arguing every night?
And what is that to you?
Well, I happen to live here.
So do we, I'm sorry to say.
This was a stupid idea
from the very start.
Tomorrow, lovey and I we're
gonna build our own little hut.
Remember what the skipper said?
There's a big storm on the way.
And what does he know about it?
Has anyone seen the sky?
It's as clear as a bell.
I think we've gone to a
lot of work for nothing.
So do I.
Now, wait a minute.
Don't be fooled by a little good weather.
We're gonna have a real blow, alright.
What do you know about it?
It just so happens
I'm an experienced sailor.
If you were an experienced sailor,
we wouldn't be shipwrecked
on this dreary island.
Oh, darling, let's spend
the rest of the night outside.
I'm getting a touch of hut fever.
I'll take you out in the jungle
where it's nice and quiet.
I think I'll start to work
on my own place, too.
Oh, that's a good idea. Good idea.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Now be practical.
What do you folks think you're
going to use to make huts?
First of all, we'll start with our door.
Yes, our door. Our little door.
And these walls belong to us.
We'll take our walls. Come on.
I'll be by in the morning for my roof, too.
I think they're making a big mistake.
They sure are. Part of the
roof belongs to Mr. Howell.
I mean their attitude. They're
all acting for themselves.
We've got to function as a group.
You're right, skipper.
Wonder what's going to happen
when those monsoons come.
I don't know. Maybe
they'll build their own huts.
If they don't, they have
to come bunk with us.
Oh, oh. I
Thought everyone was asleep.
We're turning in right now, Mr. Howell.
Well, I thought I'd forgotten something,
but I guess I was mistaken.
No, you weren't, Mr. Howell.
Here it is.
Na-na.
[Thunder]
Skipper: Gilligan!
I'm right here in the
kitchen. Or is it the den?
I don't know exactly where I am,
but I know I'm right here someplace.
Gilligan, you are
standing in my bedroom.
I'm sorry, skipper. You want
to come in and go to sleep?
No, I don't want to
come in and go to sleep.
It's alright if you want to,
because I can go work in the living room,
if I can remember where I put it.
I want you to come out
and plane the ends of this crossbeam.
Gilligan, what are you doing?
Trying to find the front door.
Will you get out here and start
working on this beam?
Skipper, how come this place
is taking so long?
Everybody else is almost
done with their huts.
Gilligan, my father had 2
sayings I shall always remember
"hurried work is worried work,"
and "a job not well done
is not a well-done job."
Skipper, that's beautiful.
Pop used to say a lot of beautiful things.
Was he a poet?
Not exactly, gilligan.
Well, pop was kind of a world tra
oh, never mind, gilligan.
Now start working on this beam.
I'll get some more bamboo.
Yes, sir.
Ha ha. Hello there, gilligan.
Hi, Mr. Howell. How are things going?
I'm happy to announce
the completion of ho well manor,
and I just stopped by
to ask you and the skipper
for a little plantation warming tonight.
Is it okay if I wear what I have on?
Oh, yes. Yes. Delightfully informal.
I think you'll know everybody there.
Yeah, I guess I will at that, huh?
Oh, by the way, might
I borrow this machete?
You see, I want to cut some palm leaves.
Mrs. Howell's making some
drapes for the dining room.
Sure, Mr. Howell.
What time should we be there?
Shall we say 5-ish?
I think you know where the place is.
Yes, sir. Right behind
that rock over there.
Yeah, that's the place.
Ta-ta, my boy. See you then. Ha ha.
[Sings gibberish]
Why aren't you working on the beam?
Because I gave the machete
to Mr. Howell.
Gilligan, did it ever occur
to you to use the saw?
Yes, sir. That's the first thing I thought of.
Well, why didn't you use the saw?
Because I loaned that to the professor.
How are we ever going
to get this place done
if you keep loaning our tools out?
I don't want you to do that
anymore. That's an order.
Yes, sir.
Gilligan, anybody that comes
up and says anything to you,
wants anything, the answer
is no, no, no, no, no.
Now, have you got that?
No! I mean, yes.
Gilligan
Hello.
No, no, n-o, no!
Gilligan
What kind of a greeting is that?
That's the kind of greeting everybody
gets who tries to borrow anything
no, no, no!
Well, I didn't come here
to borrow anything.
You didn't?
No. No?
No.
Oh.
All I want is just a
A teeny-weeny,
weensy, weeny piece of rope.
How long a little teeny-weeny,
eensy-weensy bit of rope do you want?
9 feet.
That isn't much, is it?
Well
No. 9 feet's hardly anything at all.
This is awfully sweet of you, gilligan.
Oh, heck, it's only rope.
Let's see now 6 feet
And 3 feet more
Makes 9 feet. Yeah.
Okay.
Here's your 9 feet of rope, ginger. Yeah.
Thank you, gilligan.
And if you, um, if you need a low ceiling,
I got two 3-foot beams, if you want 'em.
The rope is all I wanted.
Thanks.
Skipper: Gilligan!
I made a mistake with the 6-foot beam.
Yeah? Oh, that's okay, skipper.
Everybody makes mistakes,
especially with 6-foot beams.
I think 6-foot beams are the easiest
gilligan, will you cut that out?
I want to use this for a
wall brace. Cut it in half.
Here you are, skipper.
Two 3-foot crossbeams.
You sure did that in a hurry.
Yes, sir. Hand me that coil of rope.
Yes, sir.
Gilligan, you didn't remember to say
what I told you, did you?
Yes, sir. I said no
exactly like you told me
Just before I gave away the rope.
Ooh, gilligan
You see those clouds up there?
Yeah. They're pretty.
They're not pretty. They
could storm any minute.
Now you go out on the double
and get everything that you loaned out.
Hurry up. On the double. Yes, sir.
Gilligan.
Skipper, you don't have to worry.
If it starts to rain, we can work inside.
Gilligan, will you get out
of here on the double?
Come in.
Oh, hello, gilligan.
Hi, professor. This is sure
a nice place you got here.
What are you doing?
I'm making notes for a book.
You mean you're writing a book?
That's one of the reasons
I wanted to be off by myself.
It's gonna be a chronicle
of our adventures on the island.
No kidding.
I think it's a book
people will buy. Don't you?
Sure. I'll buy one. I'm dying
to find out what happens to us.
So am I.
Could I have back the
chisel and saw you borrowed?
Oh, yeah. I loaned the chisel to the girls,
but the saw's right here somewhere.
Gee.
Gilligan, what did you do to that wall?
I'm sorry, professor. All I
did was pull out this palm leaf,
and the whole thing fell down.
Oh, come on.
Honest, professor.
That's what happened.
Don't try to tell me that
pulling out one palm leaf
will make a whole wall fall down.
I built this place, you remember?
You really like it, gilligan?
Yeah, girls. Your place is beautiful.
The professor had a beautiful place
we're going to have a
beautiful garden here,
and then we're going to [Sniff sniff]
Mary Ann, your fudge is burning.
Oh. Oh, my goodness! Oh
Oh. Oh, the door won't open.
Here, I'll get it. Hold this. Here, allow me.
Oh, thanks, gilligan.
Aah! Aah!
Mary Ann: Gilligan.
Oh. All that lovely work.
Ohh
Well, at least I fixed the door.
Hi, Mr. Howell.
Well, gentlemen, we're
a little early, aren't we?
Not that it matters.
Welcome to ho well manor.
Mr. Howell built a real
nice hut, didn't he, skipper?
So did the others, gilligan,
but it just took one little
disaster to leave them homeless.
Uh, what disaster you talking about?
That's why we stopped by, Mr. Howell.
We wanted to talk to you
about the community hut.
You don't have to say another word.
Of course I'll contribute.
I give to the community hut every year.
No, Mr. Howell. The community
hut the seven of us built.
And that five of you tore down.
If we could just work together
like we did before,
we can rebuild it before
the rough weather sets in.
Ha ha ha. You and your rough weather.
I like rough weather!
I welcome rough weather.
May I say, captain,
that this place is built
to withstand anything.
You may think it is
yeah, Mr. Howell. You may think it
quiet, gilligan. Come over
and sit down and be quiet.
I'll handle this.
I assure you, captain,
this place is a veritable fortress.
Aah! It's a veritable
Rock of Gibraltar.
[Thunder]
[Thunder]
Oh, listen to that storm!
How long do you think
this hut's gonna last?
These walls should have
blown away hours ago.
Why do you say that, ginger?
Because I helped to put them up.
What's keeping my roof up, either?
Lovey, if anything happens,
I want to thank you
for 15 of the happiest years
a man ever had.
Thurston, we've been married 20.
I know, but the last 5 years
have been a little shaky.
I was only joking, you see.
Laughing in the face of danger.
We howells always have.
Oh, my darling's always so brave.
Thank you. Grandfather ho well
was the same way.
When the stock market crashed in 1929,
did he show signs of panic
like the others?
Did he show signs of fear?
Not dear old granddad.
He just laughed and joked
all the way down to the pavement.
Joke in the face of danger.
Folks, let me reassure you.
This hut is solid as a rock.
It'll withstand anything that
mother nature has to throw at us.
Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!
The skipper's right. This
hut can stand anything.
I mean, look at this construction here.
Don't touch anything!
Gilligan, do you want
the whole hut to fall down?
I'm sorry, skipper.
Gilligan, after this disaster,
you are in charge of the passengers.
Me? What about you?
It's my duty as captain
to go down with the hut.
Hey, listen.
Listen? I don't hear anything.
That's what I mean. The storm's over.
Gilligan's right!
Oh, we're saved!
Oh, my walls made it!
Look at my roof! It's as dry as a bone!
Lovey, lovey, we're saved!
You know, thurston,
the last 5 years haven't
been any picnic for me, either.
Folks, I told you that we
could weather the storm.
I'll go out and see if there's
any kind of real damage.
You see? The skipper was right.
If all of us worked together,
you're right. We can do anything, huh?
Hey, skipper
What are you doing in the lagoon?
Never mind what am I
doing in the lagoon.
What's the hut doing out here?
Throw me a line, gilligan.
Aye, aye, sir.
Coming, skipper.
This is mutiny!
Oop!
Gilligan!
Thanks a lot, gilligan.
Little buddy ha ha clear skies ahead.
Uh-huh. And all the passengers
are building their own huts again.
And so are we.
Now, I won't have to remind you
about lending our tools out, will I?
No, no, n-o, no, no, no, no, no.
Okay, gilligan.
Good boy.
Hello
Gilligan.
Aah! Uh-oh.
Thank you. Could you
carry the box, please? Great.
