Gilligan: Skipper!
Skipper!
Skipper! Skipper!
Skipper! Skipper!
Alright, what scared you this time?
Did it fly?
Did it crawl?
It jumped?
It roared. It was a lion.
You saw a lion?
No, I didn't see him, skipper.
I heard him. He roared.
Rahhhrrr!
Stop that!
For goodness sakes, gilligan,
what you heard was me,
sawing this wood from this
crate that washed ashore.
I did? Listen.
[Roar]
What was that?
That was an echo. Now,
will you go pick bananas?
I'd rather stay here
and help you pick wood.
Hey, skipper, there's
writing on this wood.
So, there's writing on the board.
Look! "From Harris expedition"
"To Singapore zoo"!
"Felis Leo"?
Yeah, from Harris
expedition to Singapore zoo.
Felis what's a felis Leo?
What are you gentlemen doing
making a Jigsaw puzzle?
Hello, professor.
No, we were just putting together
the printing from this
crate I found in the lagoon.
Professor, what's a felis Leo?
Well, it's the zoological
classification for lion.
Oh, well, there must have
been a lion in this crate.
[Roar]
Will you get out of the way!
[Roaring]
Onward!
Gilligan, will you stop dragging your feet
while we're on safari?
I'm sorry, skipper.
If we don't get a move on,
we'll never catch this lion.
This looks like something.
Gilligan, will you lead off?
Go on, move out! Go ahead! Move!
What do you think it is?
Ow!
The lion! Run for your lives!
Gilligan, for goodness
sakes, that was Mr. Howell!
Why don't you go back to
camp and stay with the women?
If I go back to camp, the
girls will think I'm a coward.
Besides, you guys know
I'm not afraid of any old lion.
All they are
are fur and bones and muscles
and long claws and big white fangs
with big white teeth and
I'm meet you back in camp.
Oh, I try to teach that boy,
but it just doesn't work out.
Well, don't be too hard on the boy.
Some men just can't face
up to the king of the beasts.
Now, look, let's get on with it.
That lion could be anywhere.
Behind that tree or
crouched behind that rock.
You don't think it is, do you?
Mr. Howell, animals can smell fear,
so I suggest you get ahold of yourself.
Say, come to think of it,
gilligan's scared, and he's all alone.
Well, if you're concerned about him
well, I'd better go back to
camp and see that he's safe.
Here, I'll catch up with you fellas later.
Gilligan! Gilligan!
It's no use, Mr. Howell.
We can't handle this alone.
Yes, this equipment is sort of bulky, too.
I'd better get the skipper back here.
Yes, right, you do that.
Uh do you mind?
I travel better light.
Yes, Napoleon said that.
G-Gilligan?
W-Was that you, little buddy?
Or was it the yaaagh!
Well, I might as well
make myself comfortable.
After all, what can I do alone?
[Rustling in bushes]
Alone!
Aah! Aah!
Look out! Look out!
He's got me! A green lion!
I give up. I give up.
[Out of breath] Gilligan!
The lion's right behind me!
Hurry! Hurry! He's right behind me!
Run for your life! He's in front of me!
I was in front of you!
Where?
Then you must have been in back of me.
Then you must have been in back of me!
[All talking at once]
Gentlemen, please! This is ridiculous.
Now, it's up to us to catch that lion,
safeguard the island,
and protect the women.
We can't go running, flying helter-skelter
every time a twig snaps.
[Roar]
Oh, isn't it awful the way
women have to sit and worry
and wait until the men
decide to show up.
Usually I don't have to wait very long.
[Sneezes]
Bless you, Mrs. Howell.
Gee, I hope you're not catching a cold.
A ho well catch cold?
Oh, really, darling!
Must be my allergy.
Allergy to what?
To cats, my dear.
They always make me make me
cats? I haven't seen
any cats on the island.
Have you, ginger?
Cats? No.
Catfish, yes.
Good gracious, I never thought of that.
Catfish?
No, but couldn't a lion be considered
a member of the cat family?
A lion? Well, I suppose so.
Oh. Well, then he's
been making me sneeze.
Aah! Aah!
Oh!
Oh, no! Oh, not now!
Not now!
[Roars]
Let's block the door.
Oh, ginger, let's do the table first. Ok.
Hurry, hurry.
Help us, Mrs. Howell!
We'll trap him inside.
Get a chair.
Oh, dear, he'll eat up all my furs!
Mrs. Howell, how can you
think of furs at a time like this?
Oh, well, that's true. How silly of me.
They're all insured, anyway.
Let's go tell the men what we've done!
Oh, thurston will be so proud of me!
Oh, I'll bet we're 3 of the
bravest girls in all the world.
Fearless, lion-hearted
[roar]
Aah! Aah! Aah!
Chicken-hearted, too!
Ginger, Mary Ann?
It's me, gilligan.
Don't be scared.
Where is everybody?
Anybody?
Oh, no! Not all 3 of them!
Mrs. Howell!
Hey, Mrs. Howell!
Huh.
Mrs. Howell!
Mrs. Howell?
[Roar]
Stay out there, lion!
The window!
If he gets through there,
he's gonna have to find me.
Right?
[Snarling]
Alright, I give up.
Come and get me.
Don't play with me like a mouse.
Come on, get it over with!
Well, what are you waiting for?
Something wrong?
Oh, look at that. A Thorn.
Want me to pull it out, huh?
Then we can be pals,
just like in the story.
You read it?
I hope you read it.
Here goes. Now, be a nice lion, huh?
[Growl]
And then we barricaded him in our hut.
That's wonderful, ladies!
Let's go back and capture that lion!
We'll set a trap by the
door for when he comes out.
Smashing idea!
Are you ready?
Yes. Yes.
Ta-da!
Here he comes now!
Good work! Wonderful, skipper!
You did it! You scored him!
Gilligan! Gilligan!
Where's the lion?
Oh, he's in there. I'll go get him.
[Roar]
You don't have to be afraid.
We're pals.
You see? He wants
to make friends with you.
I don't like the way he's looking at me.
[Roar]
I don't like the way
he's looking at me, either.
Thurston, he's looking at me.
And he's licking his chops!
[Roars]
Mary Ann, ginger, don't be afraid.
But he's drooling!
Oh, he's drooling!
[Roars]
Gilligan, that lion belongs in a cage!
How can I put my pal
in jail? He loves me.
Well, gilligan, he doesn't love us.
Now, you can't stay
around here with that lion.
Okay, then I'll take him away.
Now take him away!
Away? How far can you go on an island?
You'd rather stay with us than go
with the lion, wouldn't you, gilligan?
Yes, but I don't want him in a cage.
Gilligan, make up your mind.
It's either the lion or us.
Hurry, before I break out in hives!
[Sneezes]
Come on, Leo. We might as well go.
Come on, Leo. Come on.
Well, what do you know?
He chose the lion!
I wonder how long it'll be
before the lion chooses him.
Come on, Leo. Good boy.
Stay!
Here you go. That's a good boy.
That's a good boy, yeah.
That's a good lion.
That's a good boy! Yep!
[Roars]
I sure am glad you're still talking to me.
I just brought you your lunch.
Thanks, Mr. Howell.
Don't thank me. We
drew straws, and I lost.
Wait, Mr. Howell, please.
Leo's learned some new tricks.
You'll be the first one to see them.
Maybe the last, too.
No, Mr. Howell, wait!
He'll be awful disappointed.
He's begging for you to
stay and see his tricks.
Yes, well, charity begins at home,
and that's just where I'm going.
[Roars]
Gilligan, gilligan! Stop him! Stop him!
Um, stay, stay, stay!
Get down! Get down! Get down!
Wait'll you see this one!
Play dead! Play dead!
Play dead.
Not you, Mr. Howell!
Hello, professor.
Oh, ginger,
have you seen Mr. Howell?
No. Has anything gone wrong?
Well, he went to take lunch to gilligan,
but he hasn't come back yet.
Oh, heavens, you don't
think that something awful
oh, no, don't jump to conclusions.
I'm sure we would
have heard something.
Like a burp?
Okay, Leo, say thank you.
[Roars "thank you"]
I reward him with
this canned corned beef.
You mean he learned that
from a can of corned beef?
Wonder what he'd do
for a pheasant under glass?
I taught him a lot of tricks, Mr. Howell.
I don't suppose you taught
him to become a vegetarian?
I bet he could be the
star of a circus right now!
Mr. Howell, how about
putting the money up
after we get rescued from the island?
Gilligan, do you realize how
much money a circus would cost?
And I don't intend to spend a fortune
just to satisfy some foolish whim.
[Roars]
Hold on! Hold on there!
I just heard from my board of directors.
You'd be surprised
how cheaply it can be done!
Thurston howell's circus!
Oh, I'm very touched, my boy!
And my star attraction
will be you and your lion!
You hear that, Leo?
[Roars]
Egad, it might be fun, at that!
Just think: The big top, the center ring,
a fanfare of trumpets!
Yeah, and a whip and a chair!
And a spotlight stabbing the darkness!
Yeah, and a pistol and a flaming hoop!
Howell-ho well shows presents
Gilligan, the world-famous lion tamer!
Direct from a command
performance in London
[roar]
Leo. He's gone.
We'd better find him.
We'd better find him,
or we won't find anybody.
You keep away from me, you hear?
I mean it, Leo.
You keep your dirty paws off me!
One more step, and I'm gonna scream.
I'm gonna scream!
Oh, gilligan! Save me!
Down, Leo, down!
[Contented roar]
Gilligan, thank you. You saved my life.
You don't have to be afraid.
He likes girls.
Yeah, for dessert.
Did he like Mr. Howell?
He loved him.
Ohh
Poor Mr. Howell!
If only you'd left him in a
cage like you should have.
What are you talking about?
Oh, gilligan, you're worse than nero!
You throw your friends to the lions.
No, ginger, he's gonna
put us in his circus.
Circus?
You're looking at the star
of howell's show of shows.
You?
Yeah, you wouldn't look bad
in tights yourself.
After all, the big top is show biz.
Say Hey, you're right.
Why don't you talk to Mr. Howell?
He's the ringmaster.
You should hear him.
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing
Ginger, queen of the high wire!
And gilligan, world-famous lion tamer!
[Roars]
I guess he's mad
because we left him out.
Thurston, darling, don't you think
a circus is rather provincial?
On the contrary,
we'll play before the crowned
heads of Europe, my dear.
Oh, well, if that's the case,
then I want to be in the show myself.
Well, darling, what are you
doing with my eyebrow pencil?
Ha ha! I am making myself
dashing and debonair!
How is that?
Oh, Mr. Howell! You
look dashing and debonair!
Well, you look d and d, yourself!
Oh, it's my new high-wire
outfit. Do you like it?
It packs plenty of voltage.
I think it's rather shocking myself.
I guess I'd better go practice.
I've gotta lose part of my wiggle
so I can stay on that tightrope.
By George, that's a wiggle.
Thank you.
Thurston, do you remember
that marvelous countess
from Luxembourg?
With those wonderful
lipizzaners in the horse show?
Lovey, you don't mean that you
how do I look?
Equestrian enough?
Horsey, absolutely horsey, my dear.
Come on, Leo.
Get up on that tub before
I run out of corned beef.
We'll do the trick with the chair, okay?
Here we go.
Uh-oh, I'm running out of corned beef.
What am I gonna feed you?
I don't have any more cans.
I don't like that look in your eye.
Here, have all of this. Have it all.
Every bit of it.
Go ahead, just eat the whole can.
Have the whole can.
You can eat the can if you want to.
Professor, my washtub is gone.
Well, I think gilligan's using it for his lion.
He's not giving that animal a bath, is he?
No, he's using it for a
perch in his lion tamer's act.
He's going to be the star of the circus.
Star of a circus? Gilligan?
Well, being close friends
with the king of beasts
makes him the prime minister.
So he gets what he wants.
A circus?
Yes, the ho well show of shows.
Mrs. Howell wanted me
to make her this whip.
Ha! Ho!
What does the skipper say about all this?
I don't think he knows.
He's been pretty busy.
Wait'll he hears.
Gilligan! Gilligan!
Hi, skipper.
Gi oh, hi, Mary Ann.
Where is gilligan?
Now, he took some of
my planks, and I need 'em.
Oh, he's over there.
He took my washtub, too.
He's using it for his circus act.
For his what? His circus act?
His circus act. Gilligan's.
Oh, I'm gonna go over there
and straighten that boy out.
Oh, skipper, I wouldn't do anything rash.
I'm not gonna do
anything rash, Mary Ann.
I just want my planks back.
I'm fed up with gilligan and his ideas.
Oh, well, you just better make sure
his friend doesn't get fed up with you,
if you know what I mean.
Uh, I see what you mean.
Good boy! Good boy!
Good boy! Atta boy!
[Roars]
Gilligan?
Did you see that, skipper?
Yes, I saw it.
B-But, gilligan,
Mary Ann wants her tub back
because she wants to do some laundry,
and I want my planks.
Well, what about the circus?
Gilligan, you and that lion have
caused enough trouble already!
Skipper, you just don't understand.
I mean, everybody's gonna be in it.
You can be in it, too.
Me?
Sure, you could be
a clown or something.
Oh, gilligan, there's enough
clowns on this island now
without that, for goodness sake.
I want my planks back!
He thinks you're mad at me.
Tell him that we've been buddies
for a long time, little buddy.
Yeah, well, I know it, but he doesn't.
Well, tell him that I'm the skipper,
and that I'm used to giving commands.
[Roars]
Skipper?
Oh!
Hi, Mary Ann.
Oh, what in the world
are you trying to do?
Believe it or not, I'm
trying to learn how to juggle.
But I just don't seem to get the hang of it.
Oh, I know. Gilligan wants
me in his circus act, too.
Hey, maybe we could do an act together!
Oh, like what?
We'll have a hatchet-throwing act.
You can be my assistant.
Oh, alright!
Are you very good at it?
Well, I couldn't be any worse at that
than I am at juggling.
Uh-oh. No more corned beef. [Roars]
Just keep talking.
I'll be right back.
Hey, skipper?
Yes, gi ooh!
Sorry.
Look what you made me do.
I'm sorry, but you've gotta help me find
the extra case of corned beef.
What extra case of corned beef?
There is no extra case.
Well, how am I gonna train Leo?
I'm all out of cans, and
he's asking for more.
Loud.
Uh, professor, we've
got to build a cage quickly.
Gilligan's run out of food for his lion.
But there's a lot of
other food on the island.
There's coconuts,
berries, and bananas
and us!
Now, he's right, gilligan.
There's no time left for arguing.
We've gotta cage that lion.
No!
Ow!
Gilligan!
Look at this mess!
I'll clean it up, and maybe the
island will get back to normal.
[Growling]
Aah!
Ah! Ah! Gilligan!
T-The lion!
Hey, Leo!
Hey, Leo!
Where you hiding?
Leo!
I've been looking all over for you.
Here you are, huh?
Skipper: Who's there?
It's me, gilligan.
What's the matter?
You need glasses or something?
Let me out!
You're not in a cage yet.
We'll think of something.
Gilligan.
Yeah, Leo?
When did you learn how to talk?
It's not him, it's me, skipper.
Where are you?
In here!
Oh, no.
You wouldn't.
You couldn't.
Well, are you gonna get me out?
I don't know how.
Can you breathe?
It's not easy.
Besides, it's cramped and dark in here.
I'll bet it is.
I should have listened. They all told me.
It's all my fault, skipper.
Oh, poor skipper.
It's all my fault.
Why didn't I listen?
Gilligan, hurry up!
I'm trying, skipper.
I help!
Somebody help! Help!
Oh help.
Hey, Leo, come back! Bring him back!
Bring him back, Leo!
Help, somebody.
Gilligan, my boy, what's the trouble?
Oh, it's terrible, Mr. Howell, just terrible.
The lion swallowed my pal.
He just swallowed my buddy.
Oh, you're just imagining things, my boy.
That's right, gilligan.
You see, Mr. Howell,
I still can hear his voice.
I know you can.
Look, and I can even see him!
It's a skipper?
Gilligan, little buddy,
you don't have to
sleep out here anymore.
You can come home!
Look at poor Leo, skipper.
King of the beasts, and he's a jailbird.
Well, you had to do it, little buddy.
After all I've done to
him, he still loves me.
Gilligan, I don't know whether
he's kissing you or tasting you.
I'll come back to camp
as soon as he falls asleep.
You come along now, little buddy! Now!
And I scraped the bottom
of all the corned beef cans.
I got this plate of food for Leo.
Yes, I know, gilligan.
Well, you better start swimming
if you want to feed that lion!
Huh?
Leo! Leo! There he goes!
Raft and all!
The tide, gilligan.
The tide must've come in last night
and taken him right off the beach.
He's heading straight for Hawaii!
Well, you can relax now, little buddy.
He'll be safe.
Yeah, and there goes our circus!
Yeah, I guess I learned how to
be an expert juggler all for nothing.
Aw, come on, skipper. You
didn't get to be a good juggler at all!
Oh, yeah?
You watch this.
Watch this, gilligan.
I'd have sworn I had 3 coconuts.
Radio: And now here's
an oddity in the news.
A United States destroyer
reports it has just rescued
a full-grown nubian lion,
floating in a crate
thousands of miles from any known land.
Surprisingly enough, the
animal was in good shape,
though he did consume
36 pounds of corned beef.
There now, gilligan,
are you satisfied?
Will you please go to sleep?
Yeah, but
Now what's the matter?
What am I gonna do with
this whole plate of corned beef?
