(Skipper)
'Sub chaser calling
squadron command.'

'do you read me?'

'come in, squadron command.
Come in.'

'we are under
heavy enemy att*ck.'

'await you instructions.'

'bandits at o'clock.
Look out. Hit the deck!'

'phew! That was
a close one.'

you're telling me.

- 'Are you okay, lieutenant?'
- Yeah.

Lieutenant?

Skipper?

[Grunting]

Transmitter's been
knocked out, sir.

We'll have to
convert the receiver.

(Skipper)
'Harris, give me
that radio manual.'

connect remaining circuits
by plugging into..

Radio frequency located at the
right side of the antenna lead.

Ready to convert the radio
into a transmitter, lieutenant.

Aye, aye, sir!

Evans, hold this book.

Give me a
screwdriver, ferguson.

Quick, man,
a screwdriver!

Now give me
the wire cutters.

Wire cutters!

Ready to transmit, sir.

Dive-bombers at
o'clock. Jump, men!

- Aye, aye, sir.
- Run for your lives.

[Snoring]

[Blowing raspberry]

Gilligan.

You're soaking wet.

I know, the lagoon's
full of water.

What were you
doing in the lagoon?

You pushed me overboard when
the dive-bombers came at us.

- What dive-bombers?
- The one you're dreamin' about.

I'd just given you
some tools to fix the radio.

- Tools?
- Yeah.

This screwdriver
and these pair of wire cutters.

'Boy, a near
nightmare out there.'

gilligan, I have not been
out of this hammock.

'You've been walking
in your sleep.'

I have?

Certainly. When you fell
in the water, it woke you up.

Is that what happened?

I could've sworn it was
the other way around.

I'm afraid not. Why
don't you go back to sleep

and no more dive-bombers
tonight, huh?

- Yes, sir.
- Oh, gilligan.

You better wipe those
wire cutters off

before they get rusty.

[Theme music]

(Woman on radio)
'This is Alice mcneal
signing off'

'as I start the last leg of
my round the world flight.'

'open up that golden gate 'cause
San Francisco, here I come.'

[birds squawking]

Professor, according
to my new calculations

she should be passing
right over our island.

There must be some way
we can contact her.

But how?

I got it. I've got it! What we
need is a big roaring fire.

(Professor)
'Yes.'

a big roaring fire
on a hot day like this?

A signal fire, gilligan.
There's a very good chance

that woman flyer will pass
right over this island.

Skipper, we're saved.
We're saved.

We're not saved
yet, gilligan.

We've gotta figure out some way
to attract her attention.

I'll take off my shirt,
jump, and yell and wave it.

Gilligan, she's gonna be
passing over at ft.

How do you suppose
she'll see you?

I'll stand
on your shoulders.

That's good, gilligan.
That's very good.

I've got an even better idea,
skipper. An even better idea.

- We'll build a human tower.
- Human tower?

You'll be on the bottom

professor stands
on your shoulders

Mr. howell stands on his,
i stand on Mr. howell's--

Mrs. howell stands
on your shoulders

ginger stands
on her shoulders

and we'll have Mary Ann
at the top.

No, I think ginger
ought to be at the top.

Why?

Because she's wearing
high heels.

I think a signal fire's
our best bet, gilligan.

But I don't know if she can see
through that nimbus cumuli.

Yeah, and all those clouds
are in the way too.

We better do
something pretty quick.

No telling how soon
she might pass over.

If only I could remember how
you fixed the radio last night.

What radio?

The one in the sub chaser
in my nightmare.

We were under enemy att*ck and
the transmitter knocked out.

Sub chaser?

Enemy att*ck? The transmitter
got knocked out?

Don't you remember?
I told you last night.

I thought he was walking
in his sleep.

Turned out he was
walking in my sleep.

What else happened?

I don't know.
Whole thing's kinda hazy today.

The whole nightmare
seems like a dream.

Gilligan.

Gilligan, little buddy.
You said I fixed the radio.

How did I do it?

You turned it
into a transmitter.

I remember. It happened
at guadalcanal.

No, it happened
over there by the lagoon.

We were about
a mile off shore.

The transmitter got hit. We were
strafed by enemy fighters.

I had to do
something fast.

Skipper, let me tell it.
It was my dream.

Is it possible to convert
a radio into a transmitter?

Sure! All you need a screwdriver
and a pair of wire cutters.

Got 'em right here, sir.

It's a simple procedure.

It's just a matter of
reversing the circuits by..

- Gilligan, how did I do it?
- I don't know.

But you must have
seen something.

I didn't even see
the dive-bombers.

Next thing I knew
i was swimming for my life.

Think, skipper.
Come on, think.

How did you convert
that radio?

I don't remember.

I know. I'll go back to sleep
and get on the boat

a little earlier
this time.

That was my dream
last night, not yours.

- But you told--
- 'i know what I told you.'

but I was wrong. Looks like
i owe you an apology.

Forget it, skipper. If you
hadn't pushed me overboard

I would have been
blown to bits.

It has something to do with
the main coil. A main coil.

- Main coil.
- Main coil.

It's no use.

I can't sleep
with somebody watching.

Alright, skipper.
You try it on your own.

Yeah. Concentrate on getting to
sleep. Leave the worrying to us.

The only thing you gotta worry
about is getting to sleep.

Thanks, gilligan.

You got seven lives
depending on you.

'That's a big
responsibility for one man.'

'unless you sleep,
you won't walk in your sleep'

and we can't change the
radio into the transmitter.

- So relax and go to sleep.
- Let's go, gilligan.

You don't have to tiptoe,
gilligan. I'm not asleep yet.

Better hurry. That woman's gonna
be flying over at any time.

- I'm doing the very best I can.
- I know you are, skipper.

So stop thinkin' about
the trouble we're in.

You'll never get asleep
with that on your mind.

- I sure hope he gets to sleep.
- He will if he's left alone.

Gilligan, I want you
to stand guard.

Make sure nobody gets in there
and disturbs the skipper.

- Right, nobody.
- That includes you.

Especially me, I'm the worst
of the whole bunch.

[Grunts]
I'm gonna go
lie down. I'm b*at.

Shh.

No noise, gilligan.
The skipper's almost asleep.

Oh!

(Alice mcneal on radio)
'This is Alice mcneal in the
vagabond lady saying'

'aloha nui to Hawaii.'

'I'm planning my eta.'

'this is vagabond lady
signing off.'

'over and out.'

signal's coming in
a lot stronger now.

I've got a feeling
she's closer than we thought.

Please, gilligan.
Just a little slower.

Skipper.

How 'bout a nice warm cup of
coconut milk to make you sleep?

I've had cups
of that already.

I never want to see another
coconut or a lamb chop.

Lamb chop?

I also counted
, sheep today.

I've got to be alone
with my thoughts.

[Sighs]

That poor man
is a nervous wreck.

He's all worn out
from trying to get to sleep.

What he needs is something to
make him relax, calm him down.

Wish we had
some tranquilizers.

Yeah, tranquilizers.

No, that's no good. We
don't have a prescription.

Wait a minute.
Mr. howell may have some.

He's always taking pills
for one thing or another.

I'll go ask him.

Is there something
bothering you?

Yes, as a matter
of fact, there is.

What is it?

After we're rescued I must dash
down

to Argentina to get
a new string of Polo ponies.

Well, if we do return
before the matches

couldn't you use
the ones we have?

I suppose I could.

It's just that I hate
to ride a used Polo pony.

The coat is so shiny--

- gilligan, hello.
- Hi, Mrs. howell, Mr. howell.

Mr. howell, do you have
any tranquilizers?

Of course, I do,
gilligan.

Every big business man
uses tranquilizers.

Makes him calm enough
to take the rest of his pills.

Could I borrow some?
It's very important.

Oh, yes. They're in my pill
case, they're in my shelter.

You stay there, darling.
You relax. I'll go get them.

There goes
a lovely lady.

Gilligan, my boy,
let me tell you something.

Look behind every successful man
and you will find a woman.

Yes, sir.

Just make sure
his wife doesn't find her.

It's a marriage joke, I mean.

- Oh, there we are, lovey.
- Here you are, darling.

Must have been heavy. Ah..

(Mr. howell)
Ah, there we are.

'How did these get in here?'

now, let's see, what
did I want this for?

(Mr. howell)
'Oh, yes, yes. My arthritis.
Of course, arthritis.'

'lovey, my pet. Do you remember
which one of my shoulders hurt''

ah, no dear, you asked me
to get these for gilligan.

Gilligan? Well, he seems
much too young for arthritis.

No, dear. Gilligan
came in for tranquilizers.

Tranquilizers. Of course,
tranq...Here they are.

They would have bitten me.
Here they are, tranquilizers.

- I only need a couple.
- That's perfectly alright.

Take the whole.
Plenty more, plenty more.

Thank you, sir.

Lovey, that is the younger
generation for you.

Medication for
everything and anything.

Yep.

What is this?

"Kills pain fast,
fast, fast."

Indeed.

Nobody rushes a howell.

[Theme music]

Hi, Mary Ann. Have you
seen the professor?

No, but everyone will be
showing up for dinner soon.

- Is it dinner time already?
- Well, just about. Why?

I borrowed these tranquilizers
from Mr. howell.

I wanna put a couple in
the skipper's mango juice.

That'll calm him down
and get him to sleep.

What a great idea.

Mary Ann, will you give
this back to Mr. howell?

- I gotta go get the skipper.
- Sure.

[Ginger yodeling]

[Sniffs]
Hmm, what smells
so good?

b*rned swordfish.

Burn the other side.
I think it might be better.

[Yodeling]

What are these for?

Oh, tranquilizers.

Ah, might be just
what he needs!

- Come here a minute, would ya?
- Hm.

Taste this thin gravy, would
you, and see what you think.

O-oh! I think you need to burn
the fish a little more.

(Professor)
'Hi, girls.'

say, you seen gilligan?

Well, he was just looking
for you. Anything wrong?

No. I wanted
to see if he got the..

- Got the what?
- Oh, nothing, nothing.

[Sniffing]
Hey, dinner smells good.

(Gilligan)
'Please, skipper.'

gilligan, I don't have to eat
to keep up sta...I'm not hungry.

- Please, skipper.
- Leave me alone.

Sit down and take it easy.

- Sit right here.
- Alright, I'll sit down.

Here, skipper.
Have some mango juice.

- Oh, yes.
- Thank you. Thank you.

I don't want
any mango juice.

How 'bout some fish.
Fish'll make you thirsty.

Mary Ann, how's the fish
coming along?

- Just about ready.
- Ready in just about a minute.

- Here, have some mango juice.
- I don't want any juice.

Please, now just leave
me alone. I wanna think.

Trying to remember..

[Sighs]

Hey, tranquilizers. Couple of
these ought to put me to sleep.

- No!
- No, skipper.

I don't think you should..

Here's to an early rescue.

[Exhales]

[Snoring]

How long you thing we'd have to
wait before something happens?

By the time he starts
sleep-walking

that lady could go around
the world on a raft.

[Snoring]

[Sighs]

[Mumbling]

The vagabond lady.

[Slurring]

Get him to the beach!

Skipper, skipper!

Put up your arms
like you did before. Here.

[Slurring]

It's amazing.
It's amazing.

I had no idea that four
tranquilizers could produce

this much of an affect.

Six.

Eight.

Ten.

And he's out.

Lovey, I told you to hurry
and get dressed. Look!

We missed the cocktail hour.

(Alice mcneal on radio)
'I'm happy to report
that I'm now'

'one hour ahead of schedule.'

yeah, go on. Go on.
What, what, what?

'I'm anxious to talk to anyone
who is getting my signal.'

she's not half as anxious
as we are.

'Don't forget. There's
nothing but ocean under me.'

'vagabond lady
signing off now.'

she'll be within range of
the island pretty soon.

Can we fix the transmitter
in time? That's the question.

Oh, yeah.

There's the answer.
Hi, skipper.

- Oh!
- Shh!

[Whispering]
I know where he's headed.
Back to the lagoon.

- Ah!
- Shh.

He mustn't be awaken. We'll
never learn what we wanna know.

- But--
- don't utter a sound.

Okay, I won't utter a sound.
But my foot's on fire. Look!

[Muffled whining]

Come on, let's hurry. He's
going right back to the lagoon.

Just like I told you.

[Groaning]

Shh.

Aw!

[Band music]

Battle stations!

Yes, sir.

Aye, aye, sir.

[Retching]

Professor, where are we?

Still marooned on an island
without a transmitter.

Oh, gilligan.

You're reliving your landing
on guadalcanal.

You're aboard your old landing
craft headed toward the beach

as the battle rages.

[Mimicking g*nf*re]

[Whistling]

The sea tosses your boat
around like a cork

as you plow through
the crashing waves

toward the distant
shoreline.

[Whooshing]

- Where are my seasick pills?
- I didn't bring them, dear.

I had no idea we were
going out this far.

I think I've
got him hypnotized.

Now, everybody
remember your parts.

First chance I've had to act
since we been ship wrecked

and I'm playing,
gunner's mate entwistle.

This is a real test for you.
You don't look a bit like him.

- Thanks, gilligan.
- Alright, men.

We're heading
for the beach.

Battle stations,
everybody!

[Trumpeting]

Say out when
i call your name.

Wilcowski.

Here.

Mcinerney!

Here.

- Lefkowitz!
- Oh..

[Hoarse tone]
Here.

What's the matter
with your voice?

Laryngitis.

- Here!
- Ferguson!

- Here!
- 'Entwhistle!'

- here!
- That's was real good, ginger.

- You sounded just like him.
- We're heading in!

Harris, keep
your head down.

Harris is the one
with the radio manual.

If anything happens to him,
somebody grab the book.

Looks pretty rough up ahead!

We're gonna have a hot reception
when we hit the beach.

Alright, come on, folks.
Battle noises! Battle noises!

[Mimicking machineguns
and planes]

(Skipper)
'Testing, one, two,
three, four.'

one, two, three, four.

Nothing. Still
doesn't work.

Are you sure you wrote those
instructions down correctly?

I'm positive.

Are you sure you dreamed
the instructions correctly?

Well, here's no use fooling
around with this anymore.

- She's probably out of range.
- Yes, I'm afraid so.

Gilligan, you got sentry duty.
I'm gonna turn in for a while.

- Okay, skipper.
- So am I. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Testing, one, two,
three, four.

Testing, one, two..

[Thumping]

Hello, hello,
can anybody hear me?

(Female on radio)
'Nice to talk
to you, young man.'

who's that?

'This is Alice mcneal
in the vagabond lady.'

my gosh, it's Alice!
Please stay right were you are.

I got to go tell the skipper.
Now don't go away. Please.

Hey, skipper!

What happened?
Did you see her plane?

No, no, skipper.
It's working, it's working!

- What's working?
- The radio, I fixed it.

I just talked to
that lady flyer.

- You what?
- Honest. I'm not dreaming.

I figure, you do the talking.
I don't wanna cause any trouble.

I want everything
to work out just right.

But how could you have
fixed the radio?

It was easy. All I did
was hit it like this.

Come to think of it, I guess
i dreamed the whole thing.

Of course, you did.

[Plane whirring]

(Alice mcneal on radio)
'Nice to have talked to you
down there, whoever you are.'

'we see you've been cut off.'

'meanwhile, happy landing.'

[bee buzzing]

[Whispering]
'Shh. Skipper's
finally asleep.'

quiet. Shh!

[Rattling]

Quiet.

Shh!

[Buzzing continuous]

No! No, no, no, no, no.

[Buzzing]
