[Snoring]
Alright, folks. It's time.
Good evening, skipper.
Goodevening, ladies.
No cause for alarm, gilligan.
It's just the skipper.
Always be sure to identify
yourselves when gilligan's on watch.
He tends to be trigger-happy.
Shoots first and asks questions later.
Gilligan, is everything alright?
Gilligan?
Gilligan!
Halt, or I'll shoot! Oh, hi, skipper.
We're terribly sorry to wake you
when you're on sentry duty, gilligan.
Oh, that's alright.
Alright, folks. Flare time.
Why do we fire off a flare every night?
We don't even know if
there's a ship out there.
But we don't know there isn't one, either.
Might be a freighter or an oil tanker.
A freighter or an oil tanker?
Ugh.
That's alright, lovey.
We can wait for a yacht.
Skipper: Everybody,
gather over here now.
Keep your fingers crossed.
How many flares do we have left?
About 150.
Everybody ready?
Stand by.
Ready
Fire!
Now let's pray that
somebody saw our signal.
Well, if they did, I hope
they don't come barging
in the middle of the night to rescue us.
I'm simply exhausted.
Yes, we haven't had a decent
night's sleep since we got here.
I don't think any of us have.
[Snoring]
Except gilligan.
Gilligan!
Halt, or I'll shoot!
Oh, hi, skipper.
Well, you folks may as well turn in.
I'll have a talk with our sentry,
that is if he can stay awake long enough.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, ladies.
Gilligan, how many bullets
have you got left in that gun?
One. [Fires gun]
See?
What did you want to
talk to me about, skipper?
Gilligan, sentry duty is a sacred trust.
You've got to keep a close watch
on the weather. If it starts to rain,
you've got to see that the
supplies in the hut are kept dry.
You can depend on me, skipper.
Most important of all,
you have to keep a
constant lookout for ships.
Aye, aye, sir.
Watch that ocean like a hawk.
Like a hawk, sir. If there's
a ship out there, I'll see it.
If there's a ship out there, it's in trouble.
The ocean's this way!
I thought that seaweed looked awful tall.
Gilligan. Are you really wide awake?
Wide awake, sir.
No more sleeping on your post?
No more sleeping, sir.
Good man. I'll see you in the morning.
In the morning, sir. Goodnight.
Goodnight, sir.
[Snoring]
[Yelling]
Ahem. Halt!
No!
Friend or foe?
Attaboy, gilligan.
Nice to see that you're
still awake at your post.
When you told me how
important sentry duty was,
I didn't shut my eyes
the whole night, skipper,
not even once, not even
one little teeny-weeny
give me that gun!
Can I go to bed now, huh, skipper?
Certainly, gilligan. You've earned a rest.
Thank you, sir.
Right after you've chopped some wood,
cooked the breakfast,
and cleaned up the area,
I want you to take a nap,
and that's an order.
Thank you, sir.
Now let's get inside
and rustle up some breakfast.
Thanks a lot, gilligan.
Ooh! Watch your head, skipper.
Hey, look.
We've been robbed.
Robbed?
Somebody broke in here last night.
I think you're right, skipper.
Gilligan, if you were
wide awake on your post,
how could somebody get in the hut?
Guess they must have picked
the lock on the back door.
There is no back door.
Oh, then they came in
through the window.
There is no window.
How about down the chimney?
No chimney.
No back door, there's no
window, and there's no chimney.
Skipper, looks like we're up
against a pretty clever thief.
Gilligan! Why don't you admit it?
You were asleep on guard duty.
Only during the robbery.
Oh, get out of here!
Well, move!
Thanks again, gilligan.
Now, come on.
Got to tell the others about this.
Mary Ann: Good morning.
Good morning, ladies. Professor.
Skipper. Hi.
Can I help with breakfast?
There may not be any breakfast.
Thanks to sleeping beauty
here, we've been robbed.
Robbed?
Yes. Somebody broke
into the supply hut,
took our food supplies, the
flashlight, and our flare gun.
There's only one answer. There must
be someone else living on the island.
You're right, professor.
Well, it could be an animal.
You're right, ginger.
No. Flashlight and a flare gun?
Those things are only useful to a man.
Well, if it were a man, we'd
have seen him before now.
Gilligan: You're right, Mary Ann.
It could be someone
wanted by the police,
an escaped convict or a murderer.
You're right again, professor.
Gilligan, will you cut that out?
Everyone can't be right.
Skipper
What?
You're right, too.
Hey, do you really think it
was an escaped convict?
Or a murderer?
For our own safety, I suggest
we start an immediate search.
That's a good idea,
professor. Come on, gilligan.
If we had to get marooned on an island,
why didn't we pick Manhattan?
Can't I go along with you and
the professor on the manhunt?
No, gilligan. I want you to stay here
with Mr. Howell and guard the women.
Most of all, we've got
to get that flare gun back.
Well, you be careful, huh, skipper?
'Cause if it is an escaped
convict or a vicious killer,
he might be dangerous.
Just between us, gilligan,
I hope it's only a vicious
killer or an escaped convict.
I'm afraid it's something much worse.
Something much worse?
Yes. I think it's voodoo.
Voodoo?!
Shh. Let's not upset the women.
Let's not upset the men, either.
Really fantastic things
have been going on
in these waters, gilligan,
for which there's only one explanation.
Voodoo?
Voodoo.
Think of it.
Ever since we got to this island,
we've had nothing but bad luck,
one disaster after another.
What do you think caused it?
I thought we all agreed it was me.
No, gilligan. Voodoo.
Some people think it's a silly superstition,
but I've heard tales that
witch doctors in these parts
can turn people into hyenas and baboons
and all kinds of wild jungle animals.
Gilligan, I think my shoe is full now.
Oh. Sorry, sir.
Thank you very much.
Evil spirits are spawned
in these waters, gilligan,
and they cast their black spell
over all those who invade their domain.
Ready, skipper.
Oh! Aah!
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
That's alright. I was scared already.
I think we better be going, professor.
Uh, gilligan, I'm leaving
these things with you.
A gun and a rabbit's foot.
If one doesn't work, use the other.
Come on, professor.
But, skipper
We don't have any bullets for this gun.
Well, you know that, and I know that,
but the killer won't know it.
I'm all aglow.
Golly, ginger, am I scared.
I've never been so
frightened in my whole life.
Neither have I.
Just think. There may
be some strange man
loose on this island.
That's what I am thinking.
Honey, would you hand
me my compact, please?
What compact?
This.
Clamshell?
Yeah. Cute, huh?
I made it myself.
I had to have something
to put my makeup in.
Well, there's nothing in there but berries.
That's right.
The red berries are lipstick,
the blueberries are shadow,
and the blackberries are mascara.
Oh, honestly, ginger.
You don't seem the least bit worried.
What's there to worry about?
Well, suppose the man they're
looking for turns out to be a killer.
Honey, if the man they're
looking for turns out to be a man,
he can do the worrying.
Hi, gilligan. Whoops. Stop. Stop.
Well, what are you doing?
I just set a trap for the prowler.
So did I.
How does yours work?
When he comes down
the trail to the supply hut,
his foot hits the stick,
goes into the loop, and
You've got your man.
If it is a man.
You never know what an
evil spirit might look like.
Evil spirit? What are you talking about?
Oh, nothing. Nothing at all.
Gilligan, are you trying
to tell us something?
I'm trying not to tell you something.
Alright, let me put it this way:
What is it you're trying not to tell us?
Please stop asking
so many questions, huh?
You'll both feel a lot safer if you just think
there's a dangerous killer
loose on the island.
Now, stay away from
this area, huh, girls?
And whatever you do,
don't walk down this path
and put your foot into this ooh!
Help, skipper!
Gilligan!
Alright
I won't put my foot in that rope.
Help, skipper!
Skipper, help!
Well, that does it, lovey.
Sturdy bit of construction,
if I say so myself.
Thurston, what on earth
is that on your forehead?
Oh, it looks like water.
I wonder where it came from.
Thurston, I know what it is.
I used to see it on our gardener.
It's perspiration.
It is? What can I put it in?
I've got to send it to
dad. He'd be fascinated.
Gilligan: Mr. and Mrs. Howell!
Oh, dear. I do wish
people wouldn't drop by
without letting us know
that they're coming.
It's only gilligan, lovey.
Yes, I know, but
everything's in such a mess.
The place looks like a hut.
It is a rather crude cabana.
Come in. Come in, boy.
I just thought I'd check on you folks.
Hey, what's that?
Well, we thought with a
prowler in the neighborhood
we'd better not take any chances,
so thurston put up these bars.
That's what we need
some neighborhood bars.
Oh, thurston, you are a devil.
Yeah, I come up with them
under pressure.
Skipper: Gilligan!
Hey, that's the skipper.
I better go see what he found out.
Oh, dash it all!
What is it, dear?
I forgot to show him my perspiration.
Ohh.
I wonder if I could do it again.
Skipper! Skipper, where are you?
Over here, gilligan.
Where?
Right here, gilligan.
I see you've found my trap.
Yes, I did.
Works pretty good, huh?
Works fine. Works just fine.
Oh, good. It had me pretty worried.
I didn't think it was gonna work at all.
You don't have to worry
about the trap, gilligan.
You don't have to worry about anything
Until I get down out of here!
Now get me down out of here!
Yes, sir.
Don't salute me!
Get me down from here!
[Grunting]
[Yelling]
[Grunting]
[Yelling]
[Yelling]
The killer.
Voodoo.
No bullets.
Help.
[Yelling]
Help.
[Screeching]
Help!
Help! Help!
What is it? A m-m-m-m
a monster! A monster!
Will you get hold of yourself?
A monster in the hut?
Yeah. Go get him.
We'll investigate.
You ready, professor?
Careful. Careful. Careful.
You got him.
Gilligan, whatever it was
that attacked you is gone.
You must have been dreaming.
No, no. No dreaming!
Aah!
What happened?
Tell us.
All of a sudden, a monster, 8 feet tall,
came out of nowhere,
and he attacked me.
And he had long arms and claws
and big yellow teeth.
And I kept hitting him,
and it bounced off him.
And his arms, they're like steel,
and they started to
squeeze me and squeeze me.
I don't know how I did it,
but I broke loose.
Ginger, isn't he marvelous?
Now, hear this, professor.
I had some doubts before, but
now I'm positive I know what it is.
If you've been sailing these
waters as long as I have,
you'd be positive, too.
It's voodoo.
Voodoo?
Oh, come now, skipper,
I'm a science teacher.
You can't ask me to
believe in a thing like voodoo.
I knew a sailor once that
said that to a witch doctor,
and they never saw him again.
Aw, skipper. Oh, I'm not through yet.
They never saw the sailor again,
but the next day in his
hammock, they found a parrot.
The parrot kept saying
over and over again,
"5-3-3-9-9-3."
That was the sailor's serial number.
Well, I'm through now.
Think I'm through, too.
Gilligan!
Professor, it's getting kind of late.
Why don't we call off the
search and go back to camp?
Because the flare gun is
our only chance to be rescued.
Gilligan, only a coward
would quit at a time like this.
Oh. Well, would it be
alright for the cowards
to quit and go back to camp?
All this talk about voodoo
and witchcraft is ridiculous.
Whatever you saw last night, there
is a simple, logical explanation for it.
Probably nothing more than a monster.
Gilligan, there is no
such thing as a monster.
Will you believe that? I'll try, sir.
I know what I'm talking about.
The only place you'll ever
find a monster is in your mind.
And the supply hut.
You know, I think we could
cover more ground if we split up.
I'll go this way, and you go that way.
Wait a minute, professor.
Why don't we just
kind of stay together
and kind of go this way?
Gilligan, you're suffering from
anxieties activated in your subconscious
by a traumatic experience last night,
resulting in withdrawal syndromes.
Do you know what that means?
I'm chicken.
You see what's off in that direction,
and I'll meet you back at camp.
Ah, wait a m-m-m-m
[Whistling]
Whoa!
[Yelling]
[Yelling]
What's the big Blaze about,
skipper? It's hot enough.
Nothing like a good fire
to keep the bugs away.
Bugs?
Mosquitoes, moths
Zombies, vampires.
I saw a picture called the
land of the vampires once.
They didn't build a fire
to chase away the monsters.
They hung up pieces of wolfsbane.
Wolfsbane?
That's Hollywood for you.
Any fool knows that wolfsbane's
only used against werewolves.
It was a very good picture.
Well, maybe so, but a glaring
mistake like that
makes the whole picture unbelievable.
I guess you're right, skipper.
Gee, you were in
the land of the vampires,
weren't you, ginger?
No. I was up for a part,
but I was the wrong blood type.
Hi.
Hi.
Hi, professor. Did you find anything?
No. I must have walked
20 miles. Didn't see a thing.
Where's gilligan?
I thought he'd be here.
I was lost for the last couple of hours.
Golly, do you suppose that's
what's happened to gilligan?
I don't know.
Well, maybe we better look for
him before it gets too late.
You're right, professor. That poor
kid will never find his way back here.
Tell you what, we'll split up into 3 groups.
You and the girls go out this way.
I'll get the howells and
send them out that way.
Gilligan and I will go right
a monkey?
What's he doing in gilligan's clothes?
It's voodoo.
They've changed gilligan into a monkey.
Speak to me, little buddy, speak to me.
That's not gilligan. That's a chimp.
It's happened.
I should never have let him
go into the jungle.
That's not gilligan, skipper.
Of course not.
Voodoo is just a lot of
superstitious nonsense.
Oh, it is, huh?
Well, I bet gilligan has
a different story to tell.
[Grunting]
Oh, don't try to talk now, gilligan.
You've been through too much.
Oh, skipper.
There you are.
I've been waiting all afternoon
for that bamboo you promised me.
[Grunting]
What's that monkey doing here?
Now, just a minute, young fella.
What are you doing in gilligan's clothes?
[Grunting]
Mr. Howell, it's voodoo.
Good heavens.
Well, some witch doctor will
have his license revoked for this.
Black magic, I tell you
please, Mr. Howell, if you don't mind,
I'd like to have a minute
alone with my little buddy here.
Yes, but please.
Well I
Gilligan
You want to get in my lap? Alright.
If you're more comfortable that way.
Gilligan, I know it's gonna be
hard for you
to adjust to this new way of life,
but if you're half the
man that I think you are,
I know you'll come
through with flying colors.
I just can't bear to see
you in those clothes.
Gilligan.
You know, besides the fact
these clothes, you won't
need them, in this condition.
We'll give up the sea.
[Screeching]
Oh, gilligan. Let me tell ya,
I'm gonna make you happy
the rest of the days of your life.
We'll we'll get an apartment,
one that takes monkeys.
And I tell you what
I'll be your crew, and
you can be the skipper.
Gilligan!
Gilligan, wait a minute!
I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.
Gilligan, come back!
Wait!
Gilligan! Come back!
Wait a minute, little buddy!
Ooh!
Ow.
Oh.
Skipper?
Skip
oh, what happened, huh?
It's voodoo.
You were right.
Rather not talk about it, huh?
And you found the flare gun, huh?
Yeah, look. I found all the rest
of the stuff that was stolen, huh?
Well, you can check it if you like.
Did you tell them back at
camp what happened yet?
Huh? How about that professor?
Won't you have a laugh on him
when he sees you've been
turned into a monkey?
Oh, no, skipper, I wasn't laughing at you.
I I wasn't laughing at you, skipper.
No, skipper. I wasn't laughing at you.
Skipper?
Skipper!
Gilligan. Skipper!
Gilligan! Gilligan! Ooh!
The monster! Help! The monster!
Let go of me! Let go!
Help!
Gilligan, you're alright.
So are you.
I guess that spell doesn't last, huh?
Looks like it doesn't.
Lucky for us the witch doctor
turned out to be a quack.
Oh, gilligan, this is the
happiest moment of my life.
I want you to know that
every word I said, I meant.
Could you really
understand me, little buddy?
Not exactly. Could you understand me?
Well, not everything, but
well, come on, let's
tell the others about it.
Mr. Howell: Don't panic.
Lovey, it is not a holdup.
We were in the jungle
hey, it's a chimp.
Careful. It's got the
flare gun. Give it back.
Don't scare him. If we lose that
gun, we can't use the flares.
I'll get it. Get behind me. Get behind me.
I'll get it. I'll get it
'Cause you're my little pal, aren't you?
Huh, little pal?
Don't point it no.
[Screeching]
Stop laughing. It's not
funny. I want the gun.
Come on, throw me the gun.
What do you mean, no?
Come on, give me the gun.
Skipper, throw me a banana, huh?
Yeah. Ready?
I'll give it to you. You give me the gun.
I'll give you the banana, see?
If you give me the gun,
I'll give you the banana.
Here we are. Here's the banana.
Now you give me the gun.
Give me the gun.
I got it!
Good going!
Good thinking!
I hope it still works.
Oh, sure it does. See?
Oh! Don't pull the
Trigger.
The flares are in there!
Oh, I'll save 'em!
Wait, gilligan! It's too late!
Ginger: Ooh. Ooh, gilligan.
Oh, don't go in there, gilligan.
Well, at least we know
the flare gun works.
Oh Oh Oh
Gilligan!
How lovely.
Simply charming, girls,
I must say. A luau.
Ladies, it looks beautiful.
Thank you. Just sit right here, darling.
I'll be right over here.
Oh, dazzling.
[Screeching]
Hey, gilligan, where are you?
Hey, what's the big idea?
Well, maybe we should keep it this way.
You seem to like me better as a chimp.
Oh Oh Oh
Gilligan.
Come on over here.
Tell him, skipper.
Gilligan, I want you to
know that you're forgiven.
I may spout off at you, but
you're at the top of the list with me.
Skipper, you don't know
how much that means to me,
coming from a man I'll always look up to.
You mean that, little buddy?
You really will always look up to me?
Way up.
Gilligan, get me down. Gilligan.
