Gilligan!
Gilligan!
Gilligan!
I'm in here!
[Echo] Here Here Here
Where? Where? Where?
Gilligan, are you in that cave again?
Gilligan, I thought I told you to
stay out of this cave yesterday.
I did stay out of this cave yesterday.
Oh, brother.
Besides, I had to come back.
I lost my lucky rabbit's foot.
Boy, that rabbit's foot's
always getting lost.
First by the rabbit, and now by me.
Well, hurry up and find it
and let's get out of here.
Yeah, and skipper,
I found some more of this junk.
Aah!
Gilligan, will you stop
digging for this stuff?
I told you that it was probably buried
by some ancient tribe.
And they're probably
protected by a taboo.
Tab who?
Not tab who.
Taboo.
Like in voodoo.
This whole place is probably
under the curse of a witch doctor.
Come on, gilligan. Let's get out of here.
This place is giving me the creeps.
Oh! I can't stand up.
You can't stand up, little
buddy? You really can't stand up?
You're standing on my hand.
The voodoo is beginning to work.
Come on, gilligan. Let's go.
Ow! Hey!
What is it?
Somebody jabbed me in the neck and
It couldn't have been you
because you're in front of me,
and there's nobody behind me, so I
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh is right.
That voodoo's beginning to work.
Come on, gilligan, let's get out of here.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Look at it, skipper.
No, I will not look at it.
It's definitely a classical example
of early Mayan workmanship.
What else did gilligan find in that cave?
Well, he found some jewelry
that he gave to ginger
and Mary Ann, but
I'm all for putting this stuff back there.
These artifacts are priceless.
Just just look at the detail.
Well, take a look.
Oh, come on
Please, professor!
I'm not gonna look at it.
It's got a curse on it!
It won't bite you.
Oh, it won't bite me, huh?
Oh, please, professor,
it'll just chew me up and spit me
out all over the rest of the island.
It's just a piece of pottery.
Well, it may be just a
piece of pottery to you,
but to me, it's a "do not disturb" sign.
How can a grown man be frightened
of a piece of baked Clay?
Please, professor,
there's voodoo all through these islands.
Why, they got witch doctors out there
that can turn a man into a zombie.
That is just a sailor's superstition.
Have you ever seen a zombie?
Well, not really.
Well, you see, it's all imagination.
Imagination, huh?
Gilligan, tell him
what happened in the cave.
It felt like a sharp pin
was jabbed in my neck.
There, you see? A pin in the neck.
If that isn't voodoo, what is it?
It's simple. Gilligan was digging,
and he probably sprained a muscle.
Professor, gilligan doesn't
have any muscles in his head.
Fat, maybe, but no muscles.
Well, that's the way they work it.
They make you feel
that everything's okay,
and then, pow!
Well, how can it go pow
when there's nobody there?
Gilligan, they make a doll
that resembles the person.
Then they get a personal
object from that person.
That's what puts the hex on 'em.
My lucky rabbit's foot. Maybe
he's got my lucky rabbit's foot!
Exactly! They stick a pin in
the doll, and the victim feels it.
I'm hexed. I'm hexed.
Whoa, whoa! What you gonna do?
I'm gonna get the hex out of here.
You got that poor fella
scared half to death.
Now, believe me, there
isn't a voodoo witch doctor
within 1,000 miles of here.
I feel like I've been locked all night
in a jewelry store.
Imagine a man giving a girl all of this
and asking nothing in return.
That's our gilligan.
[Gasps]
Isn't this beautiful?
How do I look?
Well, let me see.
[Gasps] Uh-oh.
Oh. Oww
W-We're stuck.
Maybe if we stand up.
Well, don't stand up,
ginger. You'll strangle me!
Well, I can't keep staying like that.
Wait wait
Stand on your toes, can't you?
I'll try.
Ohh
Oh! Oh!
Hold this.
I guess we're just gonna
be stuck this way forever.
Thurston, the strangest
thing has happened.
I left my lipstick on this table,
and it's disappeared. Did you take it?
I? Do I look like the kind of man
who would use lipstick?
You know, speaking of missing articles,
my wallet is missing.
Oh, darling, I was talking
about something important.
After all, what's in a wallet? Only money.
That's true, my dear, that's so true.
Uh, whatever is that?
It looks like a hubcap.
Gilligan found it in a
cave and gave it to me.
Obviously costume jewelry.
Well, obviously.
Anything real would
come from fifth Avenue.
[Knocking on door]
Uh uh, come in!
Mrs. Howell, I understand that gilligan
oh, I see you're wearing it.
Oh, yes, it's alright to
wear around the hut,
but of course, not out in public.
That Jewel's worth a fortune.
A fortune?
That's exactly what I was telling lovey.
But, thurston, you
no, I said it was a perfect
stone. Invaluable, my dear.
Oh, how marvelous!
Then tell gilligan, go
dig up something else.
I need something to
wear on my beige suit.
Gilligan, I've got to have
more of those relics for my museum.
I'm sorry, Mr. Howell. I
can't go back into that cave.
It's haunted. It's got
a curse on it. Voodoo.
Voodoo? Don't be ridiculous.
You can laugh at voodoo,
but to me, it's a pain in the neck.
No, you've got to go back
in that cave and dig for me.
Now, money is no object.
I'll pay you anything.
40 cents an hour.
No, thanks.
55 cents?
65 cents?
I don't care if you give me $100 an hour.
Don't even say that in jest.
It's more than my poor heart can stand.
Mr. Howell,
I'm afraid to go back in that cave.
Now, what are you afraid of? Spooks.
Spooks? There are no
such thing as spooks.
Well, the cave is loaded with them.
Big ones, small ones, long arms
really? Yeah.
Wonder what they'd
charge to work for me.
Hey, skipper, why don't
you take your hat off?
Because I just want a trim, gilligan,
and I don't trust you.
Hey, you fellas seen my pocket knife?
It seems to have disappeared.
No, I haven't seen it. Have you, skipper?
Nope.
Hey, maybe it fell into
the hole in your pocket.
I don't have a hole in my pocket.
You lost that, too, huh? Gilligan
Perhaps I left it in the supply hut.
You know, skipper,
everybody seems to be losing something.
I lost my rabbit's foot,
Mary Ann lost her comb,
and the professor lost his pen knife.
Hey, skipper, you lost anything?
I'm about to lose something.
My Patience!
Uh, gilligan, about those relics
uh-uh, Mr. Howell, I'm not going
back in that spooky cave again.
How about you, captain?
Interested in making a little extra?
Not interested.
Say, uh, uh, $10 an hour?
Nope. 15?
Forget it.
20?
It's a deal.
You mean you're gonna take it?
No. You are.
Gilligan, you can forget
about the haircut.
Right now you've got a date
with a shovel in that cave.
But what about the voodoo?
You're forgetting the curse.
I'm not forgetting it,
but $20 can take the curse
off anything. Come on!
Come on, gilligan.
Skipper, can't we talk this over?
There is nothing to discuss.
Yeah, but I can think of a lot of things.
Look, gilligan, will you just get in there?
I'm afraid.
Gilligan, I made a deal with Mr. Howell,
and I never go back on my word.
Now, get in there.
Won't you come in there
just a little ways?
Alright, gilligan. Come on.
Okay, we've seen it.
Now can we go back?
Let's go.
Girls, I intend to prove to you
that you have nothing to fear.
Oh, except voodoo and hexes.
Well, I am surprised at both of you.
2 modern, normal,
well-educated American girls
afraid of a silly superstition?
That's right. That's us.
You can't let fear rule your lives.
[Shrieking]
Oh, yes, we can!
[Whistling]
Well, on the other hand,
a little fright never hurt anyone.
Oh, do we have to go in there?
Don't worry. As long as I'm with you,
you have nothing to be afraid of.
Just think, lovey,
in a few minutes, we'll
have enough of those relics
to fill the ho well museum.
Thurston, aren't you a wee bit nervous
about the voodoo and curses
and all that sort of thing?
I'm a man of supreme courage.
No spook would dare
tangle with thurston ho well III.
After you, my dear.
What marvelous work
these natives did, thurston.
They really were way ahead of their time.
Yes, but what are they?
Well, obviously a pair of bookends.
Books weren't invented then.
Well, that's what I said. They
were way ahead of their time.
Gilligan, what have you found?
A hungry old man?
No, gilligan. I think
it's some sort of an idol,
and it's made out of solid gold!
Uh, don't forget, this is my expedition.
Uh, we're just shining it up, Mr. Howell.
Gilligan, would you mind telling me,
what are you doing?
I don't know, skipper.
Well, cut it out!
I can't!
Gilligan, what does this mean?
I don't know, skipper. I felt like
I didn't have any control of myself.
Well, how do you explain that, professor?
Well, it's really quite simple
and based on the power of suggestion.
The seeds of fear were
planted in your minds,
and you all succumbed to the notion
that voodoo and witch
doctors really do exist.
Now, naturally, having read books
and seen motion pictures
and television shows,
you all began to react
to what you had seen.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Now, an excellent book
skipper, my feet are getting hot.
Yeah. So are mine.
Thurston, this is most uncomfortable.
Not only that. It hurts!
I'm getting out of here!
So am I. Women and children first!
[All shouting]
Whoa! Oh!
Ow! Ow!
Hey, skipper, look. A hole burned
right through the bottom of my sneaker.
I know. That ground was
hotter than a kitchen stove.
I tell you, little buddy, this
whole island is bewitched!
There's only one thing we can do.
What's that?
Get off the island.
You're right, gilligan.
We'll pack up, we'll go aboard ship,
and we'll sail right to
oh, come on, wait a minute, gilligan.
We're shipwrecked, remember?
Yeah. I'll have to think of something else.
There's nothing else we can do, though.
The island's under a spell.
Oh, nonsense, skipper.
Superstitious nonsense.
Oh, I suppose you have
a logical explanation for this whole thing.
Well, as a matter of fact, I have.
I would say it was a
geological phenomenon
caused by volcanic activity
beneath the earth's surface
resulting in the concentration of heat
in a specific location.
That makes sense to me. There's
only one thing I don't understand.
And what's that?
How come the ground
got so hot underneath our feet?
Now, look, professor, I don't
know anything about geology,
but I do know something about voodoo,
and what's been happening
is voodoo with a capital "v."
Yeah, and a capital "oo"
and a capital "doo."
Come on, professor, think about it.
This island must be
full of evil influences.
You get 'em mad,
and there's no telling
what'll happen to you.
I do not believe in evil spirits.
Now, I've told you
time after time after ti
talking to him is like talking to a wall.
You notice anything
different about the professor?
There's nothing different
about the professor.
He's just as stubborn as he ever was.
I didn't know he could sleep standing up.
He's not sleeping.
Oh, yeah. His eyes are open.
Skipper: Professor? Professor?
Maybe I should get an alarm clock
or go "cock-a-doodle-do!"
He's not sleeping.
He's been turned into a zombie.
Zombie?
Help.
Help, somebody!
Help! Help!
Help, Mrs. Howell!
Mrs. Howell, something
terrible's happened!
The professor's been
turned into a zombie!
Oh, how terrible. A zombie.
Thurston!
Yes? Yes, my dear, what is it?
What's a zombie?
What's a zombie?
Well, it's a rather, you see,
you take 5 jiggers of rum
and then some Some cooling ice
and fruit juice
Why do you ask?
Well, the professor's
just been turned into one.
Oh! Well, let's go see.
Maybe we could do something to help.
Yes. We could bring
a couple of tall glasses.
Oh, the poor man.
There must be some
way to snap him out of it.
Oh, it's awful.
Ginger, have you ever seen
a man stare like that?
Just once. I was
entertaining a bunch of gis
at an army camp.
We just can't stand here.
We've got to do something.
Stand back, Mary Ann.
Ohh
If that doesn't bring
him back, nothing will.
Gilligan, I've got it oof!
Sorry, skipper.
Look, gilligan,
I think I know how we
can help the professor.
We'll make peace with the evil spirits
who put the hex on him.
Yeah? How?
Well, it all started
when we took those
relics out of the cave, right?
So we collect them all, put them back in,
and that ought to satisfy
whoever's putting this curse on us.
Yeah. And once they're satisfied,
they'll de-zombie the professor.
De-zombie?
Unzombie.
Ex-zombie? Well, never mind.
Now, look, I want you
to get over to the girls' hut
and collect all the stuff
that you gave them.
I'll go over to the howells
and collect their stuff.
Yeah. Alright, come on. On your way.
Unzombie?
De-zombie?
Ex-zombie?
I wonder which one it is.
Dis-zombie!
Dat zombie?
Will you get over to the girls' hut?!
Alright, gilligan, here.
You take the stuff
Put it in there
And I'll wait here.
Okay, skipper.
Wait a minute. How
come I have to go in there?
What about you?
Alright, gilligan.
You go in, and I'll wait here.
That's better.
Aah!
Gilligan, it's you.
Well, did you put everything
back? Is everything alright?
I put everything back
right where it belonged.
Oh, wonderful! I really
feel better already.
Let's get out of here,
skipper. It's really spooky.
Yeah. Ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Did I say something funny?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
What's the joke, skipper? Let me in on it.
[Continues laughing hysterically]
I don't see anything funny.
Ha gilligan ha ha!
Professor?
Professor.
Professor!
This is Mrs. Howell III speaking.
Mrs. Thurston ho well.
Lovey.
You remember. We were
shipwrecked together.
If you're a zombie, nod once.
If you're not a zombie, nod twice.
Oh, dear, professor,
if you won't cooperate, how on
earth are we going to help you?
Thurston, he refuses to recognize me.
Well, of course, my dear. Don't you see?
He's a zombie.
Well, that's no excuse for bad manners.
Yeah. Well, come along to the cave.
Oh, don't go away. I have a plan
that's guaranteed to cure you.
But he won't talk at all. Not a word.
You know, I wonder if I could learn
how the witch doctors do that.
Well, whatever for?
Well, don't you see? Back home,
the ho well factories, my dear
5,000 employees,
none of them able to ask for a raise.
How heavenly!
Well, well. Here we are.
Hmm.
But, darling,
however do you expect to
appease these evil spirits
when even the skipper has failed?
My dear, I have something in this case
that will placate even
the most evil of spirits.
Oh, what is that?
Cash.
Oh, darling, how absolutely marvelous!
Yes, I am.
And besides, my dear, it's deductible.
Oh.
Coming, dear?
[Mrs. Howell speaking indistinctly]
Come on, professor,
open up. Open your mouth.
It's yummy, yummy, yummy.
Come on, professor, it's really
good. Come on, professor.
Gilligan, what are you doing?
I'm trying to snap the
professor out of his trance.
I've got his favorite dish here,
Halibut in kumquat sauce.
Oh. No luck, though, huh?
No. I guess being a zombie
kind of takes your appetite away.
Ginger: Oh, skipper
Yes, ginger?
I I just thought of
something that might help.
You know, I once made a
movie in the south pacific
called belly dancers from Bali Bali.
Well, that's fine, ginger,
but how's that gonna help the professor?
Well, in the movie, the hero
was turned into a zombie,
and I cured him by doing a native dance.
Well, I don't think the professor's
in the mood to dance,
but you can ask him.
Oh, I'm not going to
dance with him, gilligan.
I'm going to dance for him.
It's, um, a special kind of a native dance.
Well, we've tried everything else.
I doubt that it's gonna
work, though, ginger.
Gilligan: It might work, skipper.
I saw the movie 3 times,
and it worked every time.
[Drumming rapidly]
[Playing a drum beat]
[Wind howling]
Oh, help! Gilligan, stop!
Is it working?
Did we break the spell?
Oh, I'm sorry. I've
made a terrible mistake.
I was doing the wrong dance.
It was from a picture called
the rain dancers of ran go ran go.
[Thunder]
Oh
Oh, the poor professor.
Is he still under the spell?
Yeah. Those evil spirits
must be working overtime.
I'll tell you one thing that's
oh, Mary Ann
Isn't that pin one of the relics?
Yeah. I gave it to her.
Well, but, uh, it should be going back
with the rest of the stuff.
Oh. Well, I didn't think
one teensy weensy little pin would hurt.
Well, certainly it matters, Mary Ann.
I mean, I've got to take this back.
Now, gilligan, hop over to the cave
and put that back with the rest of them.
Me? Why always me?
Why can't we both go?
Because somebody's got to stay here
and keep an eye on the professor.
Oh, yeah.
Why can't I keep an
eye on the professor?
Because you're going to be busy
taking the pin back.
Oh, yeah. You're right.
Sorry.
Hey, those are cute.
Yeah.
And there's my rabbit's foot!
And the professor's knife.
And Mary Ann's comb, and
gee
Uh-oh.
If that's supposed to be me,
I must say it isn't a very good likeness.
I look absolutely ghastly.
Oh, remember, my dear,
we never had a sitting.
Whoever made these
dolls had us in their power,
but now we've got the dolls back
and our personal possessions,
the spell is broken.
What about the professor?
He's still a zombie.
Oh, but not for long.
What are you gonna do?
Where's his knife?
Once he sees that he's got
his personal possession back,
the spell will be broken! Oh.
Well, if it isn't, I've got a place for him
in my organization.
Professor?
Ime after time after time
that voodoo spells and zombies
are figments of the imagination.
Ha ha ha!
Well, there goes another
source of cheap labor.
Professor: What is
everyone laughing about?
Well, believe it or not, professor,
for the last 24 hours,
you've been a zombie.
Nonsense.
I just got through telling you
that that is nothing
but native superstition.
There is no such thing as witch doctors,
hexes, or curses.
By the way, how did I get wet?
Gilligan, what have you got there?
It's a witch doctor doll I made.
You made?
Yeah. I figured if he could do it to us,
I can do it to him.
Don't be ridiculous, gilligan.
For goodness sakes,
it takes those witch doctors
years of practice
to make their voodoo work.
You mean nothing'll happen
if I stick it with the pin?
That's exactly right. Nothing will happen.

Gilligan!
Gilligan!
I'm in here!
[Echo] Here Here Here
Where? Where? Where?
Gilligan, are you in that cave again?
Gilligan, I thought I told you to
stay out of this cave yesterday.
I did stay out of this cave yesterday.
Oh, brother.
Besides, I had to come back.
I lost my lucky rabbit's foot.
Boy, that rabbit's foot's
always getting lost.
First by the rabbit, and now by me.
Well, hurry up and find it
and let's get out of here.
Yeah, and skipper,
I found some more of this junk.
Aah!
Gilligan, will you stop
digging for this stuff?
I told you that it was probably buried
by some ancient tribe.
And they're probably
protected by a taboo.
Tab who?
Not tab who.
Taboo.
Like in voodoo.
This whole place is probably
under the curse of a witch doctor.
Come on, gilligan. Let's get out of here.
This place is giving me the creeps.
Oh! I can't stand up.
You can't stand up, little
buddy? You really can't stand up?
You're standing on my hand.
The voodoo is beginning to work.
Come on, gilligan. Let's go.
Ow! Hey!
What is it?
Somebody jabbed me in the neck and
It couldn't have been you
because you're in front of me,
and there's nobody behind me, so I
Uh-oh.
Uh-oh is right.
That voodoo's beginning to work.
Come on, gilligan, let's get out of here.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Look at it, skipper.
No, I will not look at it.
It's definitely a classical example
of early Mayan workmanship.
What else did gilligan find in that cave?
Well, he found some jewelry
that he gave to ginger
and Mary Ann, but
I'm all for putting this stuff back there.
These artifacts are priceless.
Just just look at the detail.
Well, take a look.
Oh, come on
Please, professor!
I'm not gonna look at it.
It's got a curse on it!
It won't bite you.
Oh, it won't bite me, huh?
Oh, please, professor,
it'll just chew me up and spit me
out all over the rest of the island.
It's just a piece of pottery.
Well, it may be just a
piece of pottery to you,
but to me, it's a "do not disturb" sign.
How can a grown man be frightened
of a piece of baked Clay?
Please, professor,
there's voodoo all through these islands.
Why, they got witch doctors out there
that can turn a man into a zombie.
That is just a sailor's superstition.
Have you ever seen a zombie?
Well, not really.
Well, you see, it's all imagination.
Imagination, huh?
Gilligan, tell him
what happened in the cave.
It felt like a sharp pin
was jabbed in my neck.
There, you see? A pin in the neck.
If that isn't voodoo, what is it?
It's simple. Gilligan was digging,
and he probably sprained a muscle.
Professor, gilligan doesn't
have any muscles in his head.
Fat, maybe, but no muscles.
Well, that's the way they work it.
They make you feel
that everything's okay,
and then, pow!
Well, how can it go pow
when there's nobody there?
Gilligan, they make a doll
that resembles the person.
Then they get a personal
object from that person.
That's what puts the hex on 'em.
My lucky rabbit's foot. Maybe
he's got my lucky rabbit's foot!
Exactly! They stick a pin in
the doll, and the victim feels it.
I'm hexed. I'm hexed.
Whoa, whoa! What you gonna do?
I'm gonna get the hex out of here.
You got that poor fella
scared half to death.
Now, believe me, there
isn't a voodoo witch doctor
within 1,000 miles of here.
I feel like I've been locked all night
in a jewelry store.
Imagine a man giving a girl all of this
and asking nothing in return.
That's our gilligan.
[Gasps]
Isn't this beautiful?
How do I look?
Well, let me see.
[Gasps] Uh-oh.
Oh. Oww
W-We're stuck.
Maybe if we stand up.
Well, don't stand up,
ginger. You'll strangle me!
Well, I can't keep staying like that.
Wait wait
Stand on your toes, can't you?
I'll try.
Ohh
Oh! Oh!
Hold this.
I guess we're just gonna
be stuck this way forever.
Thurston, the strangest
thing has happened.
I left my lipstick on this table,
and it's disappeared. Did you take it?
I? Do I look like the kind of man
who would use lipstick?
You know, speaking of missing articles,
my wallet is missing.
Oh, darling, I was talking
about something important.
After all, what's in a wallet? Only money.
That's true, my dear, that's so true.
Uh, whatever is that?
It looks like a hubcap.
Gilligan found it in a
cave and gave it to me.
Obviously costume jewelry.
Well, obviously.
Anything real would
come from fifth Avenue.
[Knocking on door]
Uh uh, come in!
Mrs. Howell, I understand that gilligan
oh, I see you're wearing it.
Oh, yes, it's alright to
wear around the hut,
but of course, not out in public.
That Jewel's worth a fortune.
A fortune?
That's exactly what I was telling lovey.
But, thurston, you
no, I said it was a perfect
stone. Invaluable, my dear.
Oh, how marvelous!
Then tell gilligan, go
dig up something else.
I need something to
wear on my beige suit.
Gilligan, I've got to have
more of those relics for my museum.
I'm sorry, Mr. Howell. I
can't go back into that cave.
It's haunted. It's got
a curse on it. Voodoo.
Voodoo? Don't be ridiculous.
You can laugh at voodoo,
but to me, it's a pain in the neck.
No, you've got to go back
in that cave and dig for me.
Now, money is no object.
I'll pay you anything.
40 cents an hour.
No, thanks.
55 cents?
65 cents?
I don't care if you give me $100 an hour.
Don't even say that in jest.
It's more than my poor heart can stand.
Mr. Howell,
I'm afraid to go back in that cave.
Now, what are you afraid of? Spooks.
Spooks? There are no
such thing as spooks.
Well, the cave is loaded with them.
Big ones, small ones, long arms
really? Yeah.
Wonder what they'd
charge to work for me.
Hey, skipper, why don't
you take your hat off?
Because I just want a trim, gilligan,
and I don't trust you.
Hey, you fellas seen my pocket knife?
It seems to have disappeared.
No, I haven't seen it. Have you, skipper?
Nope.
Hey, maybe it fell into
the hole in your pocket.
I don't have a hole in my pocket.
You lost that, too, huh? Gilligan
Perhaps I left it in the supply hut.
You know, skipper,
everybody seems to be losing something.
I lost my rabbit's foot,
Mary Ann lost her comb,
and the professor lost his pen knife.
Hey, skipper, you lost anything?
I'm about to lose something.
My Patience!
Uh, gilligan, about those relics
uh-uh, Mr. Howell, I'm not going
back in that spooky cave again.
How about you, captain?
Interested in making a little extra?
Not interested.
Say, uh, uh, $10 an hour?
Nope. 15?
Forget it.
20?
It's a deal.
You mean you're gonna take it?
No. You are.
Gilligan, you can forget
about the haircut.
Right now you've got a date
with a shovel in that cave.
But what about the voodoo?
You're forgetting the curse.
I'm not forgetting it,
but $20 can take the curse
off anything. Come on!
Come on, gilligan.
Skipper, can't we talk this over?
There is nothing to discuss.
Yeah, but I can think of a lot of things.
Look, gilligan, will you just get in there?
I'm afraid.
Gilligan, I made a deal with Mr. Howell,
and I never go back on my word.
Now, get in there.
Won't you come in there
just a little ways?
Alright, gilligan. Come on.
Okay, we've seen it.
Now can we go back?
Let's go.
Girls, I intend to prove to you
that you have nothing to fear.
Oh, except voodoo and hexes.
Well, I am surprised at both of you.
2 modern, normal,
well-educated American girls
afraid of a silly superstition?
That's right. That's us.
You can't let fear rule your lives.
[Shrieking]
Oh, yes, we can!
[Whistling]
Well, on the other hand,
a little fright never hurt anyone.
Oh, do we have to go in there?
Don't worry. As long as I'm with you,
you have nothing to be afraid of.
Just think, lovey,
in a few minutes, we'll
have enough of those relics
to fill the ho well museum.
Thurston, aren't you a wee bit nervous
about the voodoo and curses
and all that sort of thing?
I'm a man of supreme courage.
No spook would dare
tangle with thurston ho well III.
After you, my dear.
What marvelous work
these natives did, thurston.
They really were way ahead of their time.
Yes, but what are they?
Well, obviously a pair of bookends.
Books weren't invented then.
Well, that's what I said. They
were way ahead of their time.
Gilligan, what have you found?
A hungry old man?
No, gilligan. I think
it's some sort of an idol,
and it's made out of solid gold!
Uh, don't forget, this is my expedition.
Uh, we're just shining it up, Mr. Howell.
Gilligan, would you mind telling me,
what are you doing?
I don't know, skipper.
Well, cut it out!
I can't!
Gilligan, what does this mean?
I don't know, skipper. I felt like
I didn't have any control of myself.
Well, how do you explain that, professor?
Well, it's really quite simple
and based on the power of suggestion.
The seeds of fear were
planted in your minds,
and you all succumbed to the notion
that voodoo and witch
doctors really do exist.
Now, naturally, having read books
and seen motion pictures
and television shows,
you all began to react
to what you had seen.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Now, an excellent book
skipper, my feet are getting hot.
Yeah. So are mine.
Thurston, this is most uncomfortable.
Not only that. It hurts!
I'm getting out of here!
So am I. Women and children first!
[All shouting]
Whoa! Oh!
Ow! Ow!
Hey, skipper, look. A hole burned
right through the bottom of my sneaker.
I know. That ground was
hotter than a kitchen stove.
I tell you, little buddy, this
whole island is bewitched!
There's only one thing we can do.
What's that?
Get off the island.
You're right, gilligan.
We'll pack up, we'll go aboard ship,
and we'll sail right to
oh, come on, wait a minute, gilligan.
We're shipwrecked, remember?
Yeah. I'll have to think of something else.
There's nothing else we can do, though.
The island's under a spell.
Oh, nonsense, skipper.
Superstitious nonsense.
Oh, I suppose you have
a logical explanation for this whole thing.
Well, as a matter of fact, I have.
I would say it was a
geological phenomenon
caused by volcanic activity
beneath the earth's surface
resulting in the concentration of heat
in a specific location.
That makes sense to me. There's
only one thing I don't understand.
And what's that?
How come the ground
got so hot underneath our feet?
Now, look, professor, I don't
know anything about geology,
but I do know something about voodoo,
and what's been happening
is voodoo with a capital "v."
Yeah, and a capital "oo"
and a capital "doo."
Come on, professor, think about it.
This island must be
full of evil influences.
You get 'em mad,
and there's no telling
what'll happen to you.
I do not believe in evil spirits.
Now, I've told you
time after time after ti
talking to him is like talking to a wall.
You notice anything
different about the professor?
There's nothing different
about the professor.
He's just as stubborn as he ever was.
I didn't know he could sleep standing up.
He's not sleeping.
Oh, yeah. His eyes are open.
Skipper: Professor? Professor?
Maybe I should get an alarm clock
or go "cock-a-doodle-do!"
He's not sleeping.
He's been turned into a zombie.
Zombie?
Help.
Help, somebody!
Help! Help!
Help, Mrs. Howell!
Mrs. Howell, something
terrible's happened!
The professor's been
turned into a zombie!
Oh, how terrible. A zombie.
Thurston!
Yes? Yes, my dear, what is it?
What's a zombie?
What's a zombie?
Well, it's a rather, you see,
you take 5 jiggers of rum
and then some Some cooling ice
and fruit juice
Why do you ask?
Well, the professor's
just been turned into one.
Oh! Well, let's go see.
Maybe we could do something to help.
Yes. We could bring
a couple of tall glasses.
Oh, the poor man.
There must be some
way to snap him out of it.
Oh, it's awful.
Ginger, have you ever seen
a man stare like that?
Just once. I was
entertaining a bunch of gis
at an army camp.
We just can't stand here.
We've got to do something.
Stand back, Mary Ann.
Ohh
If that doesn't bring
him back, nothing will.
Gilligan, I've got it oof!
Sorry, skipper.
Look, gilligan,
I think I know how we
can help the professor.
We'll make peace with the evil spirits
who put the hex on him.
Yeah? How?
Well, it all started
when we took those
relics out of the cave, right?
So we collect them all, put them back in,
and that ought to satisfy
whoever's putting this curse on us.
Yeah. And once they're satisfied,
they'll de-zombie the professor.
De-zombie?
Unzombie.
Ex-zombie? Well, never mind.
Now, look, I want you
to get over to the girls' hut
and collect all the stuff
that you gave them.
I'll go over to the howells
and collect their stuff.
Yeah. Alright, come on. On your way.
Unzombie?
De-zombie?
Ex-zombie?
I wonder which one it is.
Dis-zombie!
Dat zombie?
Will you get over to the girls' hut?!
Alright, gilligan, here.
You take the stuff
Put it in there
And I'll wait here.
Okay, skipper.
Wait a minute. How
come I have to go in there?
What about you?
Alright, gilligan.
You go in, and I'll wait here.
That's better.
Aah!
Gilligan, it's you.
Well, did you put everything
back? Is everything alright?
I put everything back
right where it belonged.
Oh, wonderful! I really
feel better already.
Let's get out of here,
skipper. It's really spooky.
Yeah. Ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!
Did I say something funny?
Ha ha ha ha ha!
What's the joke, skipper? Let me in on it.
[Continues laughing hysterically]
I don't see anything funny.
Ha gilligan ha ha!
Professor?
Professor.
Professor!
This is Mrs. Howell III speaking.
Mrs. Thurston ho well.
Lovey.
You remember. We were
shipwrecked together.
If you're a zombie, nod once.
If you're not a zombie, nod twice.
Oh, dear, professor,
if you won't cooperate, how on
earth are we going to help you?
Thurston, he refuses to recognize me.
Well, of course, my dear. Don't you see?
He's a zombie.
Well, that's no excuse for bad manners.
Yeah. Well, come along to the cave.
Oh, don't go away. I have a plan
that's guaranteed to cure you.
But he won't talk at all. Not a word.
You know, I wonder if I could learn
how the witch doctors do that.
Well, whatever for?
Well, don't you see? Back home,
the ho well factories, my dear
5,000 employees,
none of them able to ask for a raise.
How heavenly!
Well, well. Here we are.
Hmm.
But, darling,
however do you expect to
appease these evil spirits
when even the skipper has failed?
My dear, I have something in this case
that will placate even
the most evil of spirits.
Oh, what is that?
Cash.
Oh, darling, how absolutely marvelous!
Yes, I am.
And besides, my dear, it's deductible.
Oh.
Coming, dear?
[Mrs. Howell speaking indistinctly]
Come on, professor,
open up. Open your mouth.
It's yummy, yummy, yummy.
Come on, professor, it's really
good. Come on, professor.
Gilligan, what are you doing?
I'm trying to snap the
professor out of his trance.
I've got his favorite dish here,
Halibut in kumquat sauce.
Oh. No luck, though, huh?
No. I guess being a zombie
kind of takes your appetite away.
Ginger: Oh, skipper
Yes, ginger?
I I just thought of
something that might help.
You know, I once made a
movie in the south pacific
called belly dancers from Bali Bali.
Well, that's fine, ginger,
but how's that gonna help the professor?
Well, in the movie, the hero
was turned into a zombie,
and I cured him by doing a native dance.
Well, I don't think the professor's
in the mood to dance,
but you can ask him.
Oh, I'm not going to
dance with him, gilligan.
I'm going to dance for him.
It's, um, a special kind of a native dance.
Well, we've tried everything else.
I doubt that it's gonna
work, though, ginger.
Gilligan: It might work, skipper.
I saw the movie 3 times,
and it worked every time.
[Drumming rapidly]
[Playing a drum beat]
[Wind howling]
Oh, help! Gilligan, stop!
Is it working?
Did we break the spell?
Oh, I'm sorry. I've
made a terrible mistake.
I was doing the wrong dance.
It was from a picture called
the rain dancers of ran go ran go.
[Thunder]
Oh
Oh, the poor professor.
Is he still under the spell?
Yeah. Those evil spirits
must be working overtime.
I'll tell you one thing that's
oh, Mary Ann
Isn't that pin one of the relics?
Yeah. I gave it to her.
Well, but, uh, it should be going back
with the rest of the stuff.
Oh. Well, I didn't think
one teensy weensy little pin would hurt.
Well, certainly it matters, Mary Ann.
I mean, I've got to take this back.
Now, gilligan, hop over to the cave
and put that back with the rest of them.
Me? Why always me?
Why can't we both go?
Because somebody's got to stay here
and keep an eye on the professor.
Oh, yeah.
Why can't I keep an
eye on the professor?
Because you're going to be busy
taking the pin back.
Oh, yeah. You're right.
Sorry.
Hey, those are cute.
Yeah.
And there's my rabbit's foot!
And the professor's knife.
And Mary Ann's comb, and
gee
Uh-oh.
If that's supposed to be me,
I must say it isn't a very good likeness.
I look absolutely ghastly.
Oh, remember, my dear,
we never had a sitting.
Whoever made these
dolls had us in their power,
but now we've got the dolls back
and our personal possessions,
the spell is broken.
What about the professor?
He's still a zombie.
Oh, but not for long.
What are you gonna do?
Where's his knife?
Once he sees that he's got
his personal possession back,
the spell will be broken! Oh.
Well, if it isn't, I've got a place for him
in my organization.
Professor?
Ime after time after time
that voodoo spells and zombies
are figments of the imagination.
Ha ha ha!
Well, there goes another
source of cheap labor.
Professor: What is
everyone laughing about?
Well, believe it or not, professor,
for the last 24 hours,
you've been a zombie.
Nonsense.
I just got through telling you
that that is nothing
but native superstition.
There is no such thing as witch doctors,
hexes, or curses.
By the way, how did I get wet?
Gilligan, what have you got there?
It's a witch doctor doll I made.
You made?
Yeah. I figured if he could do it to us,
I can do it to him.
Don't be ridiculous, gilligan.
For goodness sakes,
it takes those witch doctors
years of practice
to make their voodoo work.
You mean nothing'll happen
if I stick it with the pin?
That's exactly right. Nothing will happen.
