Mary ann. Mary ann, are you all right?

Mary ann. Hey, mary ann.

Are you ok, mary ann?

[Speaking like ginger] I'm fine, but...

Why did you call me mary ann?

Why did I call you mary ann?

Yes.

You're not mary ann?

[Ginger's voice] gilligan, are you feeling all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, don't you recognize me?

I'm ginger.

You're ginger?

Of course I'm ginger.

Well, there's no evidence of a concussion.

Everything seems to be perfectly normal.

[Ginger's voice] why shouldn't it? I feel fine.

Well, good. Then you won't mind completing the examination.

But what's it for?

Just humor me.

All right.

Who am i? The professor.

She's fine.

Who are they?

Gilligan and skipper.

She's ok.

And of course you know who you are.

I'm ginger.

She's sick.

What's happened to mary ann has a very simple psychological explanation.

I mean, almost every girl at some time in her life

Wishes she were a famous actress.

But mary ann isn't wishing, professor.

She really thinks that she's me.

Well, ginger, the blow to her head

Caused mary ann to assume the identity

Of the only famous actress she's ever known. You.

It's a lucky thing she didn't know lassie.

But she can't be me because...i'm me.

She's right. She is ginger.

Show him your driver's license.

Gilligan, would you be quiet?

Now, what can we do to help her?

Well, until I can come up with a psychiatric approach to the problem,

We're gonna have to to along with her fantasy.

You mean we're gonna still have to pretend that mary ann is ginger?

Exactly. You see, as ginger,

Mary ann will expect to see a mary ann among us.

Well, where are we going to find a mary ann?

Well, one of us will have to be mary ann.

Oh, no. I'm not gonna be mary ann. I look terrible in pigtails.

Oh, not you, gilligan. Ginger's the obvious one to be mary ann.

Me? Well, of course.

In a suitable wig and costume, why not?

Look, my dear, it's quite simple.

Ginger needs a wig so she can be mary ann

Because mary ann is ginger.

Thurston, have you been eating brandy peaches without the peaches again?

Let me explain, and follow after me.

Ginger isn't ginger anymore. She's mary ann.

[Imitating] ginger isn't ginger anymore. She's mary ann.

And mary ann isn't mary ann anymore because she's ginger.

And mary ann isn't mary ann anymore because she's ginger.

By jove, I think she's got it!

And mary ann wants to borrow a wig because she--

Oh, who is she, anyway?

Now, look, my little annuity,

Please let me explain one more time, darling!

Ah, mr. And mrs. Howell. Have you found a wig for ginger yet?

No. I'm having a little difficulty

Explaining it to mrs. Howell.

Please! I understand everything perfectly.

Ginger isn't ginger anymore because mary ann isn't who she was

When ginger wasn't who she is. Isn't that right, skipper?

Skipper? I'm your little darling thurston-poo.

Please. We must find a wig for ginger.

Now, I've sent gilligan to find mary ann and keep her busy.

It's extremely important that mary ann doesn't see ginger

Until ginger has had a chance to assume mary ann's identity.

Is that mary ann one or mary ann ?

It's getting so you can't tell the players without a program.

[Ginger's voice] I need someone to love me.

I need someone to kiss me.

I need someone to want me.

I need you!

I need to get outta here.

Gilligan, you're just in time.

I need you to help me rehearse this scene.

Scene? Oh, yeah, I forgot that you were ginger--

No, never mind.

I don't know what you're talking about, but...

You will help me... Won't you?

Yeah, sure, but after we're finished,

Better have your eyes checked.

Oh, gilligan. Now, in this scene,

You play the part of scott--my boyfriend.

Scott is, uh, unfriendly and won't have anything to do with me.

I like that.

But I'm friendly.

Oops.

Oh, please, scott, don't go out tonight.

Stay here with me. We're all alone

And there's a fire... Soft music.

You can have anything you want.

Even root beer?

Root beer?

Gilligan, read your lines.

Um...

"When are you going to realize

"That I've got important things to do

"And you don't fit in my plans--

Baby"?

Oh, you don't mean it. You're my life.

When I'm with you, my temperature rises.

Flames leap up around me.

Smoke fills the air.

I'm on fire.

You don't need me. You need smoky the bear.

Oh, please, scott, look at me!

Don't you know?

Don't you know?!

Ummhh!

I'm yours forever!

Oh, gilligan, where are you going?

We haven't finished the scene.

I have!

Oh!

Wait a minute, little buddy!

Where's the fire?

Back there in mary gin-- gin mary--

Whatever her name is.

Not so fast. You're not going anywhere.

I'm not?

No. Ginger isn't ready yet, so I want you

To march right back and keep mary ann busy.

Oh, no. She wants to kiss and hug and stuff like that.

But mary ann isn't herself!

You're telling me!

Now, look, if we want her to get well,

We've all gotta help her out. Right?

Right. We all gotta help her out. You help her.

Gilligan. Now, I want you to get right back there, and that's an order.

Please...look at me.

Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Ok. Where were we?

Scott.

Well, it wasn't too bad,

Considering the last hair I put a ribbon on

Was the tail of my polo pony bruce.

I think you did a remarkable job, mr. Howell.

Mary ann wears her hair exactly like that.

What do you think, professor?

Well, I'm not sure what it is, ginger,

But something about your disguise isn't quite right.

I know what it is. It's her walk.

She doesn't-- she doesn't walk like mary ann.

Mr. Howell is right. Mary ann has a much more casual stride, like this.

No, professor, not like that.

She puts her hand on her hip, like this.

No, no, you're both wrong.

She walks more like... Like bob hope.

Well, i--i don't know who's right.

Could you try it again so I could compare it?

Oh, uh... Professor, uh...

Uh...i'm so sorry.

I really didn't know you were rehearsing for the debutante cotillion.

Since I'm going to be mary ann, I guess I'd better check on dinner.

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

Uh, I may, uh, dress like mary ann and walk like mary ann,

But I still cook like ginger grant. Sorry about that.

In that case, I don't think you'd better eat,

Thurston, darling. I remember the exact words

Your stomach specialist said--

Avoid, uh, cholesterol, starches,

And lousy cooking.

Here she is! Here's ginger!

Here comes ginger.

Hi, ginger.

Hello, ginger.

Hi, everybody.

Is dinner ready yet? I'm starved.

Well, mary ann said that

Dinner is just about ready to be served.

Mary ann! Mary ann! We're all here!

I hope you like what I've prepared.

What is it?

Yes, what is it, mary ann?

Something simple. Fish pie.

Fish pie?!

Hi, ginger.

Hi, mary ann.

What are you doing to my--your dress?

Well, I've been trying them on.

You know, for some reason,

Well, they're all much too big for me.

Oh, well. Maybe you've lost weight.

They're all stretched.

That's what it is.

It must be the tropical weather.

Oh! What are you doing to my-- your dress?

I'm making it fit.

Oh...

[Scissors clipping] ohhh...

There. That's more like it.

I'm going to cut all my dresses down to fit...

Even if it takes all night.

Ohhh...

No!

Ohhh...

You'd better put that wig back on. Mary ann might see you.

Oh, don't worry, gilligan. She was up all night

Cutting my dresses in half. She's still asleep.

Ohhh...

My dress... It's all ruined.

[Gasps]

Oh...i told you. I told you.

Ginger.

Ginger.

I'm afraid she's in a traumatic shock.

Skipper.

You know, when she saw the girl she thought she was,

I'm afraid it was more than her mind could accept.

Isn't there something you can do?

Well, I've read where hypnosis has been used in cases like this,

But in her present condition, I'm afraid it might not work.

We can't leave her like this.

You're right. I'll have to try it.

I'll leave you two alone.

Ginger.

Ginger!

Gilligan. The professor says that mary ann's in shock.

He's gonna have to try and hypnotize her.

Hypnotize her? Oh, boy!

Here comes ginger. We'd better tell her to stay away from here

So the professor can work with mary ann. Come on.

Ginger?

Ginger!

[Whining] ohhh...

Oh, professor, I'm so confused.

I saw myself.

Ginger, everything is all right.

Everything is going to be all right.

I saw gilligan and me hanging up the wash.

Ginger, sometimes the glare from the tropical sun

Can play tricks with what we see.

Now, I'm sure it was all in your imagination.

And I think I can help you with hypnosis.

Hypnosis?

Yes.

Now, you just watch this shiny object.

Just relax.

Watch.

Watch it swing.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

You're getting very drowsy.

Your eyelids are getting heavy.

You can hardly keep them open.

You're going into a deep...

Deep...

Deep...

Sleep.

It's been some day.

I'm going back to the hut and rest.

Gilligan and I wanted to tell you not to go to--

Gilligan?

I bet he's over at the hut right now,

Annoying the professor.

Wait'll I get my hands on him.

You're in a deep, sound sleep...

A very relaxing sleep.

Now, when I awaken you,

I'm going to say the name "mary ann."

And when you hear the name "mary ann,"

You are going to become mary ann.

Now, I want you to repeat after me...


"When I hear the name mary ann..."

When I hear the name "mary ann..."

When I hear the name "mary ann..."

"I will become mary ann."

I will become mary ann.

I will become mary ann.

Excellent.

Now I'm going to awaken you.

When I snap my fingers, you will become wide awake.

Skipper: gilligan.

Stay away from that window, or you'll bother the professor.

But, skipper--

No buts. Now, come on.

Well, now... How do you feel?

All right... I guess.

Fine. Now, suppose you and I discuss...

Mary ann.

[Ginger's voice] forget about mary ann. What about me?

Why did I see another ginger?

♪ Row, row your sub gently down the tub ♪

♪ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily ♪

♪ Life is but a dream ♪

♪ Row, row, row your sub ♪

Gilligan, what's this? Taking a bath in the middle of the day?

Skipper, did you see the big mud puddle behind the hut?

Yes.

I didn't.

Would you hand me that brush, please?

Yeah, certainly. I just came by to tell you

I saw the professor, and, well,

The hypnotism didn't work at all.

Poor mary ann.

[Gasps]

What's wrong? All I said was, "poor mary ann."

[Mary ann's voice] aah! How dare you come in here

When a lady's taking a bath?

A lady taking a bath?! Are you nuts?

Get out of here, you peeping tom! Out! Out!

Gilligan, what's wrong with you?!

"Gilligan"? What's wrong with you?

I'm mary ann!

Get out! Get out!

Oh...now gilligan thinks he's mary ann.

Oh, brother!

Ohhh...

Good heavens. The skipper's soaked to the skin.

There isn't a rain cloud in the sky.

Maybe it's raining inside the hut.

Mary ann still thinks she's ginger, and now gilligan

Thinks he's mary ann!

I've got to talk to the professor.

Did I hear correctly?

Gilligan is mary ann?

I thought, uh, ginger was mary ann.

We've got mary anns, and we're fresh out of gilligans and gingers.

♪ Row, row, row your boat... ♪

That's strange. There's the skippers duffel bag

And the boys' clothes.

What are they doing here in the girls' hut?

[Gasps]

I'm in the boys' hut by mistake!

I gotta get out of here! Oh, goodness gracious!

Now, let me see if I have it right, thurston.

Uh, mary ann is gilligan.

Uh, no, ginger is mary ann because--

Will you be silent, lovey? I just want to have

A small, quiet nervous breakdown. Yahh!

[Mary ann's voice] oh, excuse me.

I didn't know anybody was up. Excuse me.

Gilligan?!

Mary ann?!

Whoever you are...

Whatever you are.

Safe at last!

Ginger, what are you doing in my clothes?

I'm filing my nails.

Ohh! Gilligan, what are you doing with that towel on?

Get out of here! Go on!

Get out!

That's the only explanation, skipper.

Gilligan must've gone under while I was hypnotizing mary ann.

Well, you've gotta make him snap out of it, professor,

Or I gotta get a new roommate.

Well, if you're looking for gilligan

Or mary ann, whoever that skinny one is,

You'll find him or her in the girls' hut.

Or perhaps now it's the boys' hut.

It's a good point, lovey.

Come on, professor.

For the last time, are you going to come out of there, gilligan?

Why do you keep calling me gilligan and why do you have my clothes on?

Professor: ginger.

Oh, professor.

Come on. No!

Gilligan!

Just listen to me.

I want you to relax.

I want you to relax. Now, just relax, mary ann.

He's mary ann?

What's happening to everyone?

I'll explain it later, mary ann.

Well, I'm ginger... I think.

Just watch the little ball,

And you'll fall into a deep, sound sleep.

I don't want to watch the little ball.

I don't want to watch the little ball. I don't want to go to...

You are not mary ann.

You are gilligan.

You are not mary ann.

You are gilligan.

Boy, am I hungry. Let's go get something to eat. Oh.

Ginger?

Ginger.

I've got it. I've got it!

I believe I've found a plan

To help mary ann regain her identity.

Wouldn't it be better if she went back to being herself?

What's your idea?

We'll ask mary ann to put on a show for us tonight.

A show? Why, sure.

As ginger, she'll want to perform,

But underneath, as mary ann, she'll know she can't.

Oh, I'm beginning to see the light.

Yeah, me, too!

It's still dark where I am.

All right, gilligan, I'll explain it.

Now, mary ann won't be able to perform as ginger,

And this will create a tremendous conflict in her mind.

And I'm sure the real world of mary ann

Will push out the dream world of ginger,

And mary ann will become mary ann again.

Boy, professor, I sure wish I had your brains.

If you did, the professor'd have an awful big hole in his head.

Yes.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

And I want to welcome you to a truly,

I think a truly great, great show here tonight.

I'd like to introduce at this time

One of the outstanding personalities of the cinema,

The stage, the recording medium,

You name it, and she's got it...

Here she is, a fine, young star in her own right,

The one and only, america's sweetheart--

Miss ginger grant.

Hey. Here. Let me help you up.

Are you all right?

Come on.

Watch the steps.

Are you all right, ginger?

Gilligan, I'm not ginger. I'm mary ann.

What was I doing up there on the stage?

Did you hear that? Mary ann wants to know

What she was doing on the stage.

Yes! Mary ann wants to! Oh, that's wonderful!

I could kiss her, and I think I will.

Is that the old mary ann who wants to know what the new ginger was doing

Or the new ginger who wants to know what the old mary ann was doing?

Well, I guess we're back to the old mary ann and the old ginger.

Oh, and I was just getting used to it the other way.

Professor. What, dear?

Look at ginger. Something must be the matter with her.

She's wearing my clothes.

She must think she's me.

[All laughing]

Hi, mary ann.

Uh, ginger, I know miniskirts are the latest style back home,

But that's ridiculous.

Well, ridiculous or not, it's all I've got left

Since you went wild with the scissors.

Besides, I think it's catching on.

Catching on?

Mm-hmm. Have you seen gilligan?

No.

Gilligan!

Hi, mary ann.

Well, I figured if ginger can wear a miniskirt,

I can wear minipants.
