Skipper, give me a hand here, will you?
Yeah, sure, professor.
This is a wonderful way
to protect our food supply.
It'll be cool down there.
Yeah, gilligan promoted
a steamer trunk from the howells.
Figures he'll put all the food in it
and drop the whole thing in the pit.
Ah, it's a wonderful idea.
You two men deserve a lot of credit.
Oh, I can't take any bows
this time, professor.
These are all gilligan's decisions.
All except one.
What was that?
He decided I could do the digging.
Okay, gilligan, I'll relieve you.
Come on.
Ohh.
Oh, my back! My back!
Well, what's the matter,
can't you straighten up?
No, I'm stuck. I'm stuck.
Gilligan, you've just
got a cramp. I'll fix that.
Careful, skipper.
Don't worry, professor,
I've done this before.
[Loud crack]
Gosh, little buddy, did I hurt you?
No, skipper. I had some
seashells in my back pockets.
Oh, I'll dig awhile.
Professor, get gilligan to help you.
Yeah. Get me one of
those, uh, bamboo rods,
will you, gilligan?
No, no, no. A short one. A short one.
Oh.
Like that.
Professor!
Gilligan!
Look what I just dug up.
Professor: Why, it's one
of those ancient tiki gods.
Right. It's kona.
Kona? The god of evil.
This must be his ancient burial place.
Whoever disturbs his rest
is cursed forever.
Thanks for taking over
the digging, skipper.
Now, look, you don't believe
these native superstitions, do you?
He sure does, professor.
He's always telling me terrible
stories about these islands,
sacred gods and curses.
Surely you don't believe
in that nonsense, gilligan.
Surely I don't, but I do.
Professor, you'd believe it, too
if you'd seen some of the
strange things I've seen.
Well, if you're both afraid,
I'll take over the digging.
You're welcome to it.
[Rumbling]
Superstitions, eh? It's the curse of kona,
and it's just the beginning.
Skipper, little earthquakes
are not uncommon on
these volcanic islands.
The underground gases exert pressure
on the substrata formations,
causing shifts in the geological striations.
Skipper, I agree.
Gilligan, how could you agree?
Did you understand what he said?
No, but it's the way he says it.
Professor, we've got to
ward off these evil spirits.
I've got some charms
in the hut that may
now, look, skipper, this
is the twentieth century,
and there is absolutely
no scientific evidence
to support any of this
superstitious nonsense.
Now, let's forget all
about the curse of kona
and get back to digging
that pit for our food.
Well, but I
alright, alright, I'll do the digging.
You and gilligan go get
some more logs for supports.
Come on, skipper.
Maybe he's right, huh?
Okay, but
ooh!
Skipper, are you alright?
It's another warning from kona.
That's not a warning,
skipper, it's an accident,
the kind of accident that occurs
with predictable regularity
and statistical frequency.
Skipper. Gilligan.
It's the way he says it.
Let's go get some logs.
Boy, you sure got a
mouth full of big words.
Well, I sure hope this
makes you feel better.
Gilligan, I'll feel a lot better
when kona's in his original burial place.
Isn't that deep enough yet?
No, I'm gonna make it just a little deeper.
I don't want to take any chances.
Seems like an awful lot
of trouble for a little statue.
It's a lot of trouble, but it's worth it.
Did you hear that, lovey?
That statue must be worth a fortune.
That's probably why they're burying it.
There's only one thing to do.
Tell the professor?
No. Take it ourselves.
Rest quietly, kona.
Ahh. There.
That's a load off my mind.
We'll put the food locker right on top.
Exactly, gilligan.
Let's get going before
the professor gets back.
Yes. He'll never understand.
Thurston, please hurry.
Good heavens, lovey, how
do you work one of these?
Nothing to worry about now.
It's it's hidden.
Yes, but, thurston, what happens
when gilligan and the
skipper find it missing?
Simple. We just accuse the professor.
Oh, thurston. Just joking, my dear.
I wonder if they're home?
Anybody there?
Anybody there?
I just said that, gilligan.
Well, they should be back soon.
It's getting dark. Maybe we should wait.
Wait? Why should we wait?
All we did was come over
to get the steamer trunk,
and they said we could
pick that up anytime.
Ha ha ha.
There it is, gilligan.
Let's get it out of here.
Well, I guess the howells
haven't unpacked it yet.
Well, let's empty it out.
Oh, look, it's locked.
Well, there's gotta be a
key around here someplace.
Let's start looking for it.
Gilligan.
I don't believe it.
Uhh. I do believe it.
What is it, skipper?
Gilligan, look in there.
How'd it get back here?
I knew it. I knew it.
It's the curse of kona.
Maybe you're right.
Oh, of course I'm right. It's following me.
Gilligan, you've got to Bury it.
Why me?
Well, I'm the one that has
the curse of kona upon him.
Maybe if you Bury it, it'll go away.
Do I have to?
Please, gilligan, little buddy.
Okay, skipper.
What's the matter?
I don't like the way he looks
at me with those big eyes.
Gilligan.
Skipper.
[Rumbling]
Stop it, will you? I'm not afraid of you.
I don't believe in your curse.
Look, I didn't dig you up
and I'm putting you
back where you belong.
Stop staring at me, will you?
I got a good mind
to throw you in the ocean.
[Thunder]
But I won't, I won't.
I'm not afraid. I'm not
afraid. I'm not afraid.
I'm afraid!
I'm afraid afraid!
Did you do it? Yeah, yeah.
Well, did you Bury him in the right place?
Well, kind of.
What do you mean, "kind of"?
Well, it's close enough.
Well, next to the pit?
Well, it's sort of kind of next to the pit.
Gilligan, did you Bury
kona, or did you not?
Well, he's better than buried. He's lost.
Lost? You mean you didn't Bury him?
Gilligan, how could you
let me down like this?
I'm sorry, skipper, but I was scared.
Well, where is he?
He's out there somewhere.
I just threw him and ran.
Just threw him and ran?
Gilligan, you've got to show
me where you threw him.
Come on, gilligan. Show me!
We'd better take this.
Oh, never mind that, gilligan.
Which way did you say, gilligan? Ooh!
Sorry, skipper. I'm sorry.
I was just tying my shoelace.
My shoe was untied, skipper, so
[sighs]
Alright, gilligan.
I know your shoe was untied.
Now, which way did you say?
The left, skipper. Here. I'll
lead. I'll show you.
No. I shall lead.
You've done enough for today.
Thank you, gilligan.
[Glub] Whoa!
Gilligan! Help! Gilligan!
Skipper, what are you doin' in there?
Stay back, gilligan! It's quicksand!
Here. Can you reach me?
Ugh! Argh! No, I can't reach you!
Gilligan, you know what's happening?
Yeah. You're sinking.
It's the will of kona. I'm doomed!
I'll go find the statue
and Bury it. You'll be okay.
Gilligan, come back here!
By the time you Bury it, I'll be buried!
Do something. Don't just stand there!
I'll get some vines. Stay where you are.
Yeah. Just gilligan!
Save me! Hurry up!
Stay right where you are, skipper.
Don't panic.
I'm almost under. Help me!
I'll get you out, skipper.
Hold your breath, skipper.
I'll be right there, skipper.
Don't worry, skipper. I'm comin'!
Wait a minute, skipper.
Here I come, skipper.
Here I come. Skipper?
Thank goodness you finally
touched bottom! I'll get you out!
Can you hold your breath a little longer?
Okay, gilligan.
These vines got all tangled.
I'm alright, gilligan.
I'll get you out in a second.
Gilligan
Look, not now. I'm busy.
I gotta get the skipper
out of the quicksand.
Gilligan look, I told you
I'm busy. My friend is down
[sighs]
Oh. Hi, skipper. You got out, huh?
It won't make any difference.
Kona's gonna get me sooner or later.
And we looked for kona all day
and all night and couldn't find him.
Skipper sure is depressed.
Yeah. I wish we could
find a way to cheer him up.
I know. Let's give him
a surprise birthday party.
Hey, that's a great idea.
When's his birthday?
Last month. Last month?
Yeah. It'll be a big surprise.
You know, you may have
something, gilligan.
Look at this.
Ginger, look what I found.
What is it?
Ooh, it's some kind of native carving.
Let's show it to the skipper.
I'll bet he'll know what it is.
Wait a minute.
This'll be our present.
What a great idea.
Boy, will he be surprised.
For he's a jolly good fellow ♪
for he's a jolly good fellow ♪
for he's a jolly good fellow ♪
which nobody can deny ♪
hey!
Feel better, skipper?
Thanks to all of you, I feel just fine.
I salute every one of you.
Did you like the cake?
Oh, it was wonderful.
Well, it must have been. He ate half of it.
Alright, skipper.
Time to open your presents.
That's from me.
Gee, professor.
Oh thanks a lot.
I can't thank you enough.
Oh, something I've always wanted:
"The history of tree surgery."
One of my favorites.
Well, I'll let everybody read
it after I'm through with it.
But don't tell us the
ending. I love suspense.
This one's from me. I hope you like it.
Oh, gilligan.
You shouldn't have.
Ha ha!
You shouldn't have, gilligan.
That's your favorite pocket knife.
You've been carrying it for years.
How come you're giving it to me?
It's broken.
Here you are, skipper. A little
gift for your birthday.
Mr. and Mrs. Howell.
Looks like a gold earring. Lovey: It is.
I think every sea captain
should look like a pirate.
Be sure and wear it with basic black.
Why, certainly, Mr. Howell.
Gee, I think this is the nicest
birthday party I ever had.
You forgot our present, skipper.
Here. You'll love it.
Thanks, girls. Thanks, gilligan.
I just want to say thanks very much.
I know I was kind of feeling very
sorry for myself and pretty low
but, well, it was silly of me to
take that stuff so seriously, and I
well, thanks to all of you, I I
think everything's gonna be just fine.
Kona!
Kona! Kona!
Aah! Kona!
Kona!
Here you are.
I've been looking all over for you.
Why don't you just ask kona?
He knows where I am all the time.
Oh, stop it. You should
be ashamed of yourself.
You can't quit now.
I'm not quitting now, I quit 3 hours ago.
Oh, the way you talk.
It's the way I feel.
You know what I think?
I think that you're forgetting
about the 6 people on this
island who really love you.
If I could just forget about that one
little guy on this island that hates me.
Thanks for helping me
Bury the statue, professor.
There. I guess that's deep enough.
A little bit deeper, huh?
I want him down there
so deep he'll get the bends.
Gilligan, that statue can't
possibly get out of this pit.
I don't know, professor.
Every time I throw him
away, he comes back.
I think the little devil's
got boomerang blood.
Gilligan, put it in the pit.
A little bit deeper, please?
[Sighs]
Oh, why, you're the kind of man
that any young, attractive girl
would love to spend
the rest of her life with.
Why, you're you're
lots of things, skipper.
Yes, and I'm doomed,
I'm scared, and I'm through.
Let's cover up that statue
so no one will ever find it.
Right.
Aah!
Aah! Aah! Oh!
Skipper, look out for that
[Whack]
Tree.
Oh
My head.
Ah!
Oh
Well, his pulse seems to be normal.
It's no use, professor.
There's nothing you can do for me.
I'm a doomed man.
Skipper, you just hit your head on a tree.
You'll be alright.
Oh, gilligan, I keep telling
you it's the will of kona.
You just won't believe me. Oh! My head!
Isn't there anything we can do?
He'll just have a bad headache, that's all.
My grandmother always used to say,
"starve a cold and feed a fever."
Gilligan, he's got a bump on the head.
He doesn't have a cold,
and he doesn't have a fever.
I know, but if he gets
them, we'll be ready.
Let's let him rest a while.
You watch him, gilligan.
Come on, Mary Ann.
Mind if we come in?
We've been out in the
waiting room for quite a while.
Alright, but don't stay too long.
Well, old fella, you look pretty chipper
for someone who's cracked
his little head wide open.
Oh! Ah!
Thurston, you'll frighten him.
You shouldn't talk like that
to someone who's so desperately ill.
Come on, folks. Let the skipper sleep.
Well, alright. But he'll never
recover if you Molly-coddle him.
Mr. Howell, have you seen
the bruise on the skipper's head?
Have you seen the bruise
on that tree? It's horrifying.
You ought to notify smokey the bear.
Come along. Bye.
Don't worry, skipper. You'll be alright.
It's useless. It's useless.
The only one who can save me is watubi.
Only watubi!
Watubi? Who's he?
The ancient witch doctor.
He's the only one who can
lift the curse of kona off me.
Watubi! Watubi!
Skipper, watubi is just
more native superstition.
Watubi doesn't exist.
Watubi! Watubi!
Is he alright?
It's his mental attitude,
gilligan. He's giving up.
He hasn't got the will to go on.
Just because he's so superstitious?
I'm afraid so.
It's plain fear, gilligan, just plain fear.
Why, if he doesn't snap out of it,
he can talk himself into anything.
Oh.
[Sighs]
Gilligan.
Gilligan!
You want something, skipper?
No, but I want to do something for you.
Get me my sea chest.
Gilligan? Yeah, skipper?
It's on my fingers.
Gilligan, I don't know how
much longer I can hang on
but I want you to have some
of my valuable possessions.
Aw, come on, skipper. Don't be silly.
You're gonna need all your things.
You'll be up and around by tomorrow.
Gilligan, no, I won't.
The watubi didn't come.
Skipper, you've been
through worse than this.
Gilligan, the watubi didn't come.
Now, please don't argue. I'm too weak.
Do you know what this is?
Yeah, your hat.
It means more than that.
It means leadership,
and after I'm gone, you'll be skipper.
Oh, no. Put it on.
Oh, no, skipper, you're still the skipper.
Put it on.
But there's only one skipper, skipper.
I can never be skipper.
You're right. Take it off.
We do need you.
Gilligan, you've got to
be brave, face the facts.
I want you to open my sea chest.
Some of my most valuable
possessions are in there.
Boy, look at all that junk.
Ooh! Sorry, skipper.
Junk?
My life is in that chest.
That stuff is priceless.
A bottle cap?
Singapore, 1947.
From the first bottle of beer
I ever opened with my teeth.
What did you want to do that for?
Well, I didn't want to,
but some guy hit me
in the mouth with a bottle.
You can have that, too.
Well, if you want me to have it.
Hey, I'll bet this has got
a lot of memories, huh?
[Loud rattling]
I'm sorry, skipper. I forgot. Your head.
What difference does it
make? Take it anyway.
Skipper, what does this remind you of?
Nothing. It must have
just crawled in there.
There's just one more thing:
I want you to have this ring.
Oh, no. I couldn't take that.
Please take it. No, I can't.
Don't argue. Help me get it off.
Skipper, I really don't think I
should take that ring, skipper.
Take it!
Okay, but I don't want to.
It's been in the family for over 200 years.
It won't budge. Well, keep at it.
It's most important that you have it.
You sure you want me to have it?
Yes, gilligan!
Could you move over a little bit?
Never mind. Maybe we better forget it.
Oh, no, skipper, I'll get it.
Never mind, gilligan.
No, no, skipper. I'll get it.
Gilligan, never mind!
Gilligan, what are you doing?
Oh, I, uh..
Skipper wanted to give me his ring.
Skipper, is your head alright?
I don't know, but my finger's killing me!
You'd better get some sleep.
Gilligan, you come on outside.
Now, gilligan, what was that all about?
He thinks he's done for.
He wanted to give me
all his possessions.
Oh, I was afraid of that.
That means he's sinking lower.
Yeah. He seemed real
disappointed that watubi didn't come.
Ah, the skipper and
his silly superstitions.
Well, silly or not, I wish watubi
would come, whoever he is.
Gilligan? Huh?
I think I know who watubi is.
Who? Who?
Oh.
[Snoring]
[Boom]
Fire! Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
Watubi. Watubi.
[Coughing] [Coughing]
Watubi, I didn't think
you were gonna make it.
Neither did I
I mean, watubi here to lift curse of kona!
Oop!
You will? Yes.
Magic powder, please.
Wee-ahh-lah! Obee doobee ahh-lah!
Ah-choo! Gesundheit.
Thank you!
I forgot the chant. Oh, gee, so did I.
Do you remember it?
You were supposed to.
I'm sorry. I only had an
hour to learn my lines.
Watubi, what is it? What's the matter?
We forgot our lines.
Nothing, my son.

[Rumbling]
Aah! Aah! Aah!
[Rumbling stops]
How did you do that?
I don't know. I guess
somebody up there likes me.
Watubi, I was wrong!
Your powers are greater than kona!
Arise! I command it!
[Rumbling] Aah! Aah!
[Rumbling stops]
You will walk now,

Oh, gilligan, don't press your luck.

look, how happy. He's
skipper, look out for that
[whack]
Feeling any better, skipper?
Oh, this awful heat.
I wish we could do something.
I guess I'm still weak.
I think I'll go in and lie down awhile.
Here. Let me help you, skipper.
Thanks, gilligan.
[Coughing]
Yes, you'd better get some rest, skipper.
Thanks, professor.
Gilligan, you were wonderful.
If he's so wonderful,
why doesn't he do
something about this heat?
Maybe I will.
Oh, don't get carried away, gilligan.
Those earthquakes
were just a coincidence.
Coincidence? What do you mean?
I've got the power.
Alright, watubi.
Let's have a nice, cool breeze.
Okay, a nice, cool breeze.
I am the great gilligan!
Stop that, gilligan.
Okay, one nice, cool breeze.
I am the great gilligan! I command it!
I don't feel any breeze.
Neither do I.
The kid is a faker. Blood will tell.
Aah! Aah! Aah! Ah! Aah!
I guess I overdid it
