morning, skipper.

Morning, gilligan.

Can I help, sir?

Sure you can.

What do you
want me to do?

I know.
Sit down and shut up.

What?

That's what you always say
if I ask if I can help.

I do? Sit down
and shut up?

Uh-huh.

Well, why should i
say a thing like that?

I guess because you think
I'll goof something up.

Well, of course you'll
goof something up,

but that's still
no way to talk
to my little buddy.

No, it isn't.
As a matter of fact,
I'm getting tired of it,

and someday, I'm liable
just to jump ship,

if we ever
get on a ship again.

Gilligan,
you're absolutely right,
and I'm sorry.

But you know how I am.
I spout things off
without even thinking.

But I promise I'll keep
a check on myself
from now on, okay?

Okay.
Still shipmates?

Yes, sir.
Good.

Well, I'll get
this breakfast ready
for the folks.

Skipper, can I help?

Sure you can,
gilligan.

What do you
want me to do?

Sit down and shut up.

Mr. howell: Hello.
Good morning there.

Good morning, gilligan.
Good morning, captain.

What's on the menu
for breakfast this morning?

Fruit
and powdered eggs.

Wonderful.
We'll have some
powered eggs Benedict.

Skipper,
it's starting to rain.

Rain? Don't be silly,
gilligan.

I just felt
a raindrop on my nose.
Small wet.

Oh, that just means that
you're feeling good.

Oh, thurston,
that only applies to dogs.

Oh, you're so right.
I'm sorry, boy.

My, his coat is wet.

I felt
a drop of rain, too.

Yes, you're so right,
lovey.

Maybe we ought to find
a cave or something.

Relax, folks.
This is just
a summer sprinkle.

Believe me,
when a real storm
sets in, you'll feel it.

This isn't
a real storm, huh?

No-o-o-o.

When do you think
the real big storms
are going to start?

Gilligan,
this is just a guess,

but I'd say
the real big storms
will start

in about seconds ago.

Folks, today we had
a little touch of bad weather.

At this time,
I'd like to say thanks
to Mr. and Mrs. howell

for lending us these clothes
while ours are drying out.

Hear, hear.

Glad that we could be
of any help, skipper.
Any time.

I hope it doesn't
start to rain

while I'm wearing
your beautiful coat.

Don't you worry,
dear.

That's one of those
new drip-dry foxes.

Skipper, these clothes
are still wet.

Don't bother me
with those details,
gilligan.

Go over to the fire
and dry them out.

Aye, aye, sir.

Now, folks, I think
one of the first things

that we must agree upon

is a permanent building
in which we will live,
right?

I think
that's a good idea.

Skipper, what am I going to hang
these clothes on to dry?

Don't bother me
about that.

Use your head
for once.

Now, I've drawn up
a little plan...

Of an idea that I have

that I think will be
exactly what we need.

Well, I think
it's very nice, captain,

but I'd like to see
some of the other models
before we decide.

Yes. I like
this one here.

It seems to have
a functional floor plan,

and green
is my favorite color.

Mr. howell, that is
a map of Australia.

Oh. Do you happen to know
how much they're asking
for it?

I mean, I hate kangaroos.

Now, folks, I have
only drawn one plan,

so if any of you
have any suggestions,
I'd like to hear them.

I like it
just fine, skipper.

Thanks a lot,
gilligan.

What are you doing
with ginger's dress on?

Well, uh...

I couldn't think
of any other way
to dry it, skipper.

That's
using your head
for once.

Now, what do you folks
think of my plan?

Sounds okay to me.

I think it's fine.

Could you build my place
down by the beach?

I think we'd be
more comfortable
up in the hills.

I love the beach,
but weekends,
everybody drops in.

Yes. Something--hillside hut
looking down on the others.

Here you are, skipper,
nice and dry.

Don't give it me.
Give it to ginger.

Oh, here.

Hope you didn't
stretch it.

No. And, Mary Ann,
yours'll be dry
in a minute.

Now, folks,
i want to get
one thing straight--

we are not building
individual huts.

The fact is, we'll have
one permanent building
until we are rescued!

You mean all of us
are going to live
in one hut?

It'll be a lot quicker
and a lot easier

if we all pitch in
and work together.

Remember the old saying--
"united we stand."

In a hut like that,
that's the way
we'll sleep, too.

Well, I'll go along
with the skipper.

If that rain this morning
was any indication,

we're in for
an early storm season.

That's right,
and that storm might hit
any moment now,

so we better
get to work right away.

Well, I guess
the skipper's right, dear.

We can build our house
any time.

Yes, but not like that one.

I see sort of
a Southern colonial mansion

with the big wide
verandas,

sort of a bamboo column,
you know,

and we can plant
the whole thing
with mint.

That's lovely. I always
wanted a plantation.

Yes, miss Scarlett.
Absolutely.

Thanks for
backing me up,
professor.

It was the only
practical solution
at the moment, skipper.

We'll do everything
we can to help,
skipper.

Well, I really don't know
what you ladies can do.

Oh, anything.
I used to be a girl scout,
and they teach you a lot.

I used to go with
a boy scout,

and they teach you
a lot, too.

Here you are, Mary Ann.
Real nice and dry.

Oh, thanks, gilligan.

Bye, girls.

Thanks a lot, gilligan.

Well, are my clothes
dry yet?

A little too dry,
skipper. See.

Oh, gilligan...

[Thundering]

Announcer: Gathering clouds
are clear indication

that a tropical storm
of considerable fury

may be expected shortly.

Coast guard warnings
have been issued

to small craft in the area.

And the coast guard
officially announced today

that it has given up the search
for the persons

aboard the s.S. Minnow,
a small excursion boat

which left Honolulu harbor
last week

on a -hour
sightseeing cruise.

In addition
to first mate gilligan

and his skipper
Jonas grumby,

the passenger list
included--

multimillionaire
thurston howell III
and his socialite wife...

Hi, professor. Do you
want a drink of water?

No, thanks,
gilligan.

Oh. Hi, Mr. howell.
Want a drink of water?

No, thank you,
gilligan.

What's that stuff?

Oh. Well, it's for
weatherstripping the hut.

It's a concoction
the professor dreamed up.

Oh, yeah?
Hey, professor.

You know,
you're really great.

I got to take these
in to the skipper.

Whoops. Whoops.

Gilligan, will you watch
what you're doing?

We've got to have
this hut finished
by tonight.

There's a storm brewing
out there someplace.

Ohh...

D'oh. Thanks a lot,
gilligan.

This is the only
dry shirt I had left.

I'm sorry, skipper.
Are we gonna
move in here tonight?

That's what the plan is.
We'll have to work
until we drop.

Now get that water
in the barrel.

Aye, aye, sir.

Oop.

Gilligan, will you
put that water in there

while I get some more
palm fronds?

Watch it.
You'll get water
in my punch.

Uh-oh.

Whoo. That was
a close one.

Somebody could've
stepped right...

Into the...Barrel?

Thanks to you,
gilligan,

somebody
already has.

I'm sorry, skipper.

You shouldn't stand on this.
It's too dangerous.

I'll go get you a ladder.

Never mind!

It's okay.
It's right over there
by the door.

That's a real good job,
Mr. howell.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Professor: Aah!

[Thud]

What was that?

Professor,
did you hear something
out here?

What?

Oh, you're
taking a nap, huh?

That's okay,
'cause the skipper'll
drive you till you drop.

Go back to sleep.

[Thwack]

Oops.

Uh-oh.

I'm sorry,
Mr. howell.

I really am,
Mr. howell. I...

I guess I just
wasn't looking.

Yes.

Probably
the stupidest thing

I ever did
in my whole...

Entire...Life.

Aah!

You want to bet on that,
gilligan?

Gill--

gilligan, you...

I still can't believe
the place is really finished.

Gilligan,
it's been a long day.

Why don't you
hit the sack?

Yes, sir.

Oof.

Gilligan, why don't you try
jumping into the upper sack?

Good thinking, skipper.

Unh!

Gilligan, why don't you
get in the lower sack,

and I will
get in the upper.

I hate to kick you
out of your own bed.

There's just
not enough room

for us both
in the lower sack.

Well, don't stand there.
Help me up.

[Snoring]

Ohh. Skip-per.

Mr. howell:
You can have the bedroom
all to yourself.

I'll sleep out here
tonight.

Mrs. howell: Sleep out there
tomorrow night, too.

What was that, gilligan?

Mr. howell: I wonder
if I might trouble you
for my pillow.

Mrs. howell: Not at all.
Here's your pillow,

and here's your blanket,
and here's your Teddy bear.

[Gasps]

Teddy bear?

Teddy bear.
Get up, please.

What is going on
in here?

Never mind.
It's a private matter.

It is not, and I want to know
what the captain has to say
about it

and what gilligan
has to say about it
and what--

when you get around to me,
I'd like to say pipe down
and get to sleep.

Nobody asked
for your opinion.

Will you folks
keep it quiet?

People are trying
to sleep in here.

You're no help, shouting
at the top of your lungs.

I'm not shouting
at the top of my lungs!

I'm trying
to get some quiet.

If you want to keep quiet,
start with my wife.

She began the whole thing.

I began it?!

Yes, you did.

Listen, folks,
why don't we--

oh, shut up,
will you, gilligan?

You can't tell gilligan
to shut up.

I'll tell him
when to shut up.

Thanks, skipper.
Now, folks--

shut up, gilligan!

Are you two arguing
every night?

And what is that
to you?

Well, I happen
to live here.

So do we,
I'm sorry to say.

This was a stupid idea
from the very start.

Tomorrow, lovey and i--
we're gonna build
our own little hut.

Remember
what the skipper said?

There's a big storm
on the way.

And what does
he know about it?

Has anyone
seen the sky?

It's as clear as a bell.

I think we've gone
to a lot of work
for nothing.

So do I.

Now, wait a minute.

Don't be fooled by
a little good weather.

We're gonna have
a real blow, alright.

What do you know
about it?

It just so happens
I'm an experienced sailor.

If you were
an experienced sailor,

we wouldn't be shipwrecked
on this dreary island.

Oh, darling, let's spend
the rest of the night outside.

I'm getting
a touch of hut fever.

I'll take you
out in the jungle
where it's nice and quiet.

I think
I'll start to work
on my own place, too.

Oh, that's a good idea.
Good idea.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

Now be practical.

What do you folks think
you're going to use
to make huts?

First of all, we'll
start with our door.

Yes, our door.
Our little door.

And these walls
belong to us.

We'll take our walls.
Come on.

I'll be by in the morning
for my roof, too.

I think they're making
a big mistake.

They sure are.
Part of the roof
belongs to Mr. howell.

I mean their attitude.
They're all acting
for themselves.

We've got to function
as a group.

You're right, skipper.

Wonder what's going to happen
when those monsoons come.

I don't know.
Maybe they'll build
their own huts.

If they don't,
they have to come
bunk with us.

Oh, oh. I...

Thought everyone
was asleep.

We're turning in
right now, Mr. howell.

Well, I thought
I'd forgotten something,

but I guess
i was mistaken.

No, you weren't,
Mr. howell.

Here it is.

Na-na.

[Thunder]

Skipper: Gilligan!

I'm right here
in the kitchen.
Or is it the den?

I don't know
exactly where I am,

but I know I'm
right here someplace.

Gilligan,
you are standing
in my bedroom.

I'm sorry, skipper.
You want to come in
and go to sleep?

No, I don't
want to come in
and go to sleep.

It's alright
if you want to,

because I can go work
in the living room,

if I can remember
where I put it.

I want you to come out

and plane the ends
of this crossbeam.

Gilligan,
what are you doing?

Trying to find
the front door.

Will you get out here and start
working on this beam?

Skipper, how come this place
is taking so long?

Everybody else
is almost done
with their huts.

Gilligan,
my father had sayings
i shall always remember--

"hurried work
is worried work,"

and "a job not well done
is not a well-done job."

Skipper,
that's beautiful.

Pop used to say a lot
of beautiful things.

Was he a poet?

Not exactly, gilligan.

Well, pop was
kind of a world tra--

oh, never mind,
gilligan.

Now start
working on this beam.

I'll get
some more bamboo.

Yes, sir.

Ha ha.
Hello there, gilligan.

Hi, Mr. howell.
How are things going?

I'm happy to announce
the completion of howell manor,

and I just stopped by
to ask you and the skipper

for a little
plantation warming
tonight.

Is it okay if I wear
what I have on?

Oh, yes. Yes.
Delightfully informal.

I think you'll know
everybody there.

Yeah, I guess I will
at that, huh?

Oh, by the way,
might I borrow
this machete?

You see, I want to cut
some palm leaves.

Mrs. howell's
making some drapes
for the dining room.

Sure, Mr. howell.

What time
should we be there?


Shall we say -ish?

I think you know
where the place is.

Yes, sir. Right behind
that rock over there.

Yeah,
that's the place.

Ta-ta, my boy.
See you then.
Ha ha.

[Sings gibberish]

Why aren't you
working on the beam?

Because I gave the machete
to Mr. howell.

Gilligan, did it
ever occur to you
to use the saw?

Yes, sir.
That's the first thing
i thought of.

Well, why didn't you
use the saw?

Because I loaned that
to the professor.

How are we ever going
to get this place done

if you keep
loaning our tools out?

I don't want you
to do that anymore.
That's an order.

Yes, sir.

Gilligan,
anybody that comes up
and says anything to you,

wants anything, the answer
is no, no, no, no, no.

Now, have you got that?
No! I mean, yes.

Gilligan...

Hello.

No, no, n-o, no!

Gilligan...

What kind of a greeting
is that?

That's the kind of greeting
everybody gets who tries
to borrow anything--

no, no, no!

Well, I didn't come here
to borrow anything.

You didn't?

No.
No?

No.

Oh.

All I want
is just a...

A teeny-weeny,

weensy,
weeny piece of rope.

How long a little
teeny-weeny,

eensy-weensy bit of rope
do you want?

feet.

That isn't much,
is it?

Well...

No. feet's hardly
anything at all.

This is
awfully sweet of you,
gilligan.

Oh, heck, it's only rope.

Let's see now...
feet...

And feet more...

Makes feet. Yeah.

Okay.

Here's your feet of rope,
ginger. Yeah.

Thank you, gilligan.

And if you, um, if you need
a low ceiling,

I got two -foot beams,
if you want 'em.

The rope is all I wanted.

Thanks.

Skipper: Gilligan!

I made a mistake
with the -foot beam.

Yeah? Oh, that's okay,
skipper.

Everybody makes mistakes,
especially with -foot beams.

I think -foot beams
are the easiest--

gilligan, will you
cut that out?

I want to use this
for a wall brace.
Cut it in half.

Here you are, skipper.
Two -foot crossbeams.

You sure did that
in a hurry.

Yes, sir.
Hand me that coil of rope.

Yes, sir.

Gilligan, you didn't
remember to say

what I told you,
did you?

Yes, sir. I said no
exactly like you told me...

Just before
i gave away the rope.

Ooh, gilligan...

You see those clouds
up there?

Yeah. They're pretty.

They're not pretty.
They could storm
any minute.

Now you go out
on the double

and get everything
that you loaned out.

Hurry up.
On the double.
Yes, sir.

Gilligan.

Skipper, you don't
have to worry.

If it starts to rain,
we can work inside.

Gilligan, will you
get out of here
on the double?

Come in.

Oh, hello, gilligan.

Hi, professor. This is sure
a nice place you got here.

What are you doing?

I'm making notes
for a book.

You mean
you're writing a book?

That's
one of the reasons

I wanted to be
off by myself.

It's gonna be
a chronicle

of our adventures
on the island.

No kidding.

I think it's a book
people will buy. Don't you?

Sure. I'll buy one.
I'm dying to find out
what happens to us.

So am I.

Could I have back
the chisel and saw
you borrowed?

Oh, yeah.
I loaned the chisel
to the girls,

but the saw's
right here somewhere.

Gee.

Gilligan, what did you
do to that wall?

I'm sorry, professor.
All I did was pull out
this palm leaf,

and the whole thing
fell down.

Oh, come on.

Honest, professor.
That's what happened.

Don't try to tell me
that pulling out
one palm leaf

will make a whole wall
fall down.

I built this place,
you remember?

You really like it,
gilligan?

Yeah, girls.
Your place is beautiful.

The professor
had a beautiful place--

we're going to have
a beautiful garden
here,

and then
we're going to--
[Sniff sniff]

Mary Ann, your fudge
is burning.

Oh. Oh, my goodness!
Oh...

Oh. Oh, the door
won't open.

Here, I'll get it.
Hold this. Here, allow me.

Oh, thanks, gilligan.

Aah! Aah!

Mary Ann: Gilligan.

Oh. All that
lovely work.

Ohh...

Well, at least
i fixed the door.

Hi, Mr. howell.

Well, gentlemen, we're
a little early, aren't we?

Not that it matters.
Welcome to howell manor.

Mr. howell
built a real nice hut,
didn't he, skipper?

So did the others,
gilligan,

but it just took
one little disaster
to leave them homeless.

Uh, what disaster
you talking about?

That's why we stopped by,
Mr. howell.

We wanted to talk to you
about the community hut.

You don't have to say
another word.

Of course
I'll contribute.

I give to the community hut
every year.

No, Mr. howell.
The community hut
the seven of us built.

And that five of you
tore down.

If we could just work together
like we did before,

we can rebuild it before
the rough weather sets in.

Ha ha ha.
You and your
rough weather.

I like
rough weather!

I welcome
rough weather.

May I say, captain,

that this place is built
to withstand anything.

You may
think it is--

yeah, Mr. howell.
You may think it--

quiet, gilligan.
Come over and sit down
and be quiet.

I'll handle this.

I assure you, captain,

this place
is a veritable fortress.

Aah! It's a veritable...

Rock of Gibraltar.

[Thunder]

[Thunder]

Oh, listen to that storm!

How long do you think
this hut's gonna last?

These walls should have
blown away hours ago.

Why do you say that,
ginger?

Because I helped
to put them up.

What's keeping
my roof up, either?

Lovey,
if anything happens,

I want to thank you

for of the happiest years
a man ever had.

Thurston,
we've been married .

I know, but the last years
have been a little shaky.

I was only joking,
you see.

Laughing
in the face of danger.

We howells always have.

Oh, my darling's
always so brave.

Thank you. Grandfather howell
was the same way.

When the stock market
crashed in ,

did he show signs of panic
like the others?

Did he show signs of fear?

Not dear old granddad.
He just laughed and joked

all the way down
to the pavement.

Joke in the face of danger.

Folks, let me
reassure you.

This hut is solid as a rock.

It'll withstand anything
that mother nature has
to throw at us.

Ohh! Ohh! Ohh!

The skipper's right.
This hut can stand
anything.

I mean, look at this
construction here.

Don't touch anything!

Gilligan, do you want
the whole hut to fall down?

I'm sorry, skipper.

Gilligan,
after this disaster,

you are in charge
of the passengers.

Me? What about you?

It's my duty as captain
to go down with the hut.

Hey, listen.

Listen? I don't
hear anything.

That's what I mean.
The storm's over.

Gilligan's right!

Oh, we're saved!

Oh, my walls
made it!

Look at my roof!
It's as dry as a bone!

Lovey, lovey,
we're saved!

You know, thurston,

the last years
haven't been any picnic
for me, either.

Folks, I told you
that we could
weather the storm.

I'll go out and see
if there's any kind
of real damage.

You see? The skipper
was right.

If all of us
worked together,

you're right.
We can do anything,
huh?

Hey, skipper...

What are you
doing in the lagoon?

Never mind what am i
doing in the lagoon.

What's the hut
doing out here?

Throw me a line,
gilligan.

Aye, aye, sir.

Coming, skipper.

This is mutiny!

Oop!

Gilligan!

Thanks a lot,
gilligan.

Little buddy--ha ha--
clear skies ahead.

Uh-huh. And all the passengers
are building their own huts
again.

And so are we.

Now, I won't have
to remind you

about lending
our tools out,
will I?

No, no, n-o, no,
no, no, no, no.

Okay, gilligan.

Good boy.

Hello...

Gilligan.

Aah! Uh-oh.

Thank you.
Could you carry the box,
please? Great.
