fore!

We're playing
through here.

Ah...Where'd it
go, gilligan?

There it is, Mr. howell.
I knew I'd find it!

Oh! Ho-ho.
Well, good work,
gilligan.

I never thought I'd
see that one again.

Now, where am I?

Well, there's
your avocado pit,
Mr. howell.

I don't know where we are.
What do you mean?

I found your ball,
but I lost
the golf course.

Lost the golf course!
And you call yourself a caddie.

No, I don't. You do.

Well, I'll never
make that mistake again.

Now just stand back.

There you are.

Where'd it go,
gilligan?!

Right there.

Oh, there. Yes, yes.
Of course. I shanked it.

Watch it, gilligan.
Call time.

Which way did it go?

Don't worry.
I'll find it.

Yes. I think
i sliced it
over there.

I wonder where
it is. Huh.

I wonder if it could
be down...

Therrrrre!

Gilligan! Gilligan,
my boy, where are you?

Hey, Mr. howell,
i found your ball.

Ho-ho, yes, yes!
There you are.

Wait'll you get
back home and tell
'em about this.

You made
a cave-in-one.

Yes. I also
sank the caddie
with the same sh*t.

Sank the cad--

gilligan, what's
that yellow stuff?

What yellow stuff?

That yellow stuff
all over the wall.

Oh...Oh...

You mean
this yellow stuff
that looks like gold?

Yes, yes. What is it?

Uh...I think it is gold.

Gold? Gold?!

Aaaaah!

Gold, gilligan!

I'm richer.

I'm hurt a little...
But I'm richer!

Oh. We lost
the bait again.

Oh. How many little fishes
do we have left?

Just one.

How many did we have
when we started?

.

You mean we've
lost already?!

Mm-hmm.

If we hadn't
gone fishing,

we could have had
fish for dinner.

Hey! I think we
got a big one.

Hey!

It feels like a whale.

Ho ho!
It's tremendous.

Play him, girls!
Play him!

Don't let him go now.
Here, I'll take it.

Wow, you have
got a big one.

Oh, be careful.

Don't worry, ladies,
I'll land him.

He's putting up
a good fight,

but I think I've
got his number now.

Pull!

Aah!

Pull!

Watch his teeth.
Be careful, skipper.

Now stand back,
stand back.

Whatever it is
might be playing possum.

Oh, he's picking it up!

Hallelujah, ladies!
We're saved! We're saved!

We've got
a rubber life raft!

[Squeals]

Skipper, oh!

What a fish story
this'll make--

catching
our own life raft.

Off your boat?

Yeah. It's
the first time

anybody ever
caught a minnow
with a minnow.

How do we know
it's gold?

Don't you have to make
a test to be sure?

I already have.
It's the best test
in the world.

You're shaking
like a leaf.

My doctors call it
my gold syndrome.

Syndrome?
Yes. It's
an allergy.

Oh. Allergy?

Yes, an allergy.

See, anytime i
get near anything
over karats...

I break out.

Boy, I can't wait
to tell the professor
about this

and the skipper
and the girls.
We'll all be rich.

Oh?
Don't you remember?

We all made an agreement
to share everything
on the island.

Yes, I do recall
making that agreement,

but of course,
then we didn't expect
to find a gold mine.

Understand? Don't you know
what gold does
to people, gilligan?

Uh-huh--
makes 'em rich!

Makes 'em greedy.

Greedy?

Greedy!

What can we do,
Mr. howell?

Well, we're gonna
keep this gold mine
our secret.

Scout's honor,
i won't breathe
a word to anybody.

We'll just leave
this filthy gold
where it is.

Yes...No, no!

We can't take
that chance, you see?

One of the others might fall
in the hole, like you,

and--heh heh--
that'll be that.

Gosh, you're always thinking
of the other fellow.

Well, I'm
a multi-millionaire.

My life
is ruined already.

We have to protect
our poor friends.

How, Mr. howell?

I'm gonna hire you
to mine the gold.

I won't pay you
enough to cause you
any trouble.

Then I'll hide it
so no one will ever
be able to find it.

Promise you won't tell me
where you put it?

Scout's honor.

It's .

Fore! All clear.

Now don't forget, gilligan.

I'll see you first thing
in the morning at the, uh,

you know what.

You know what?
You know what!

Oh, the gold--
arrgh!

Gilligan,
there you are--
hello, Mr. howell.

Where have you
been?!

Oh, Mr. howell and I,
we were over there having--

never mind, gilligan.
Guess what I found.

You could guess
all day long,

and you still
wouldn't be able
to guess.

Give us a hint.

Well, it's an answer
to all our problems,

all our prayers.

Oh, what I found's
gonna make your mouths
water.

You've found a gold mine!

[cr*ck]

Ow!

No, gilligan.

We caught our own life raft
from the minnow.

We're gonna
be able to get off
this island!

Oh! Then we're saved!

Oh, boy! This is
our lucky day.

Mr. howell and I,
know what we fou--
[cr*ck]

Ow!

I'm sorry, gilligan.

When do we leave, skipper,
tomorrow?

I'm ready to leave
right now.

Oh, not so fast,
gilligan.

We got a lot
of work to do
on the raft.

She's full of holes.

Oh, I'm glad
to hear that!
Glad?

Oh! I mean that
you're gonna fix it.

Oh, don't you worry
about that, Mr. howell.

She'll be safe and sound
when we all get
on board.

I'm sure of it, captain.

I've sailed with you before,

and I know what
you can do with a boat.

Thanks, Mr. howell.

You handled our shipwreck
magnificently.

Well...Anyway,
gilligan,

I want you up
and on the beach

first thing
in the morning
ready to work.

Oh, but I promised
Mr. howell

I'd go down
and dig him--

[cr*ck]
Ooh!

Missed me.

Lovey, have I got news.
News?

Yes. I've discovered
a gold mine
on this island.

Oh, that's wonderful.
There's only one complication.

I don't think
we'll be able
to mine the gold.

Oh, that's dreadful.

The skipper
found a raft,

and it looks like
we'll be rescued.

Oh, that's wonderful.

So we won't have
time to mine
the gold.

Oh, that's dreadful.

Gilligan has to work
all day on the boat
for the skipper.

L-l-lovey!

Oh, I'm sorry, thurston.

Where were we,
dreadful or wonderful?

If that boy has to
work day and night,
it's dreadful.

Quite right, thurston.

You know what would
be wonderful?

It would be wonderful
if you would go down
into that mine

and help that boy dig.

Oh, dear. We're back
at dreadful again.

Oh, good morning,
captain.

How's the work
coming?

The work is coming
along fine, Mr. howell.

Oh.

Something
i can do for you?

Yes. I would
like a few words
with gilligan.

Well, make it
very few, would you?

He's got a lot
of work to do.

Yes, yes,
i understand.
Thank you.

Gilligan.
Gilligan, my boy.

Oh, hi, Mr. howell.

Gilligan,
are you alright?

Sure.

But you look
sort of strained.

I haven't done
this kind of work
in a long time,

and I'm a little
out of shape.

I'll say you are.

Sorry about today,

but I couldn't say
no to the skipper.

You will be able
to make it tonight,
won't you?

Oh, sure thing.

As soon as the skipper
goes to sleep,
I'll leave.

Yes, you'll be able
to do a lot of fine
digging before dawn.

Okay. I'll see
you tonight.

Gilligan,
I'm worried about you.

Oh, don't worry,
Mr. howell.

I'm kind of in
tight quarters here,

but I move around
a lot. I'm okay, see?

Fantastic! Remind me
when we get back
to the states,

I want to talk to you
about the ed Sullivan show.

Heh heh heh.

His...Head and...

What was that
all about?

Oh. Mr. howell is gonna
put me on television on
the ed Sullivan show.

Doing what?
I don't know.

Maybe Mr. Sullivan's
boat needs fixing.

Hey, gilligan,
we did a pretty good
day's work, eh?

Makes you feel real good,
doesn't it?

Sure does.

I wanna tell you,
that mother nature,

there's a pretty
great old gal.

She lets you work
all day long,

and then all of a sudden,
she rings a bell and says,

"you've had enough.
It's time to sleep."

Yup. Mother nature's
a great old...Gal.

[Yawns and snores]

Hey, gilligan,
gilligan.

[Moans]
Hey.

There we are--
exactly ounces
of gold.

Mr. howell, are you sure
that scale is right?

Oh, certainly.
Mrs. howell's
engagement ring

weighs exactly
one pound.

I'm using it as
a counterweight.

You want me
to dig anymore?

Certainly.
It's only A.M.

Is that all? There's
probably a lot more
gold in here.

You can thank
mother nature
for that.

You thank her,
huh, Mr. howell?

You and the skipper
know her a lot better
than I do.

Folks, if I might
have your attention.

I just want you
to know

we're getting
that raft ready as
soon as possible.

Not so fast,
captain.

I think you ought
to make sure

it's safe first,
don't you?

Quite right, thurston.
You all know
the old saying--

"a stitch in time..."
Uh, "stitch in time..."

Well, you all know
the old saying.

There's no point
in repeating it.

How long do you
think it'll take,
skipper?

Don't ask me.
Ask gilligan.

Oh, leave the
poor boy alone.

He's trying to drink
some water.

No, he isn't.
He's asleep.

Wake up,
gilligan!

It's your turn
to get up first.

I got up first yesterday.
It's your turn.

Asleep again.

Yes. I guess I better
get him back to bed.

Never mind.
We'll put him
nighty-night.

Come on, lovey.

Lovey, dear,
you take
the other arm.

I will, just as soon
as I can get

this cup of guava jelly
off his elbow.

Nighty-night.

We've got to give him
his Teddy bear.

Hah! Come on,
sandyman is coming.
Nighty-night.

What do you suppose is
the matter with gilligan?

I've never seen him
so tired.

What do you suppose
is the matter
with Mr. howell?

I've never seen him
so considerate.

You know, they don't
seem very anxious
to get the raft fixed.

Gilligan...Shh, shh!
Dig, dig.

Come, gilligan, my boy.
That's it. Up and at 'em.

Off we go
to the mine to dig.

Shh--no, no, son.
You'll be alright.

Down that way to the mine.
There you go.

Now, let me see. If he
mines ingots tonight--

he's a willing boy.
He's got a strong back.

No labor problem there.
Salary...Well, we'll
just cut him in.

The smelting costs are
absolutely negligible,

but the shipping--
howell enterprises
should gross billion.

Put that into lovey's name
in a dummy corporation...

Oh, well, oh, well...

Counting my money
made me sleepy.

Oh-duh-duhh--

oh-oh-ohhhh!

Hi, skipper.
Glad you dropped in.

Gilligan--oh! Ohh!

What is that?

A one-pound
diamond ring.

So that's what
you've been up to.

You've got
a diamond mine.

No. That belongs
to Mrs. howell.

Well, what are you
doing down here?

Well, I...

And what's
all this stuff
all over the walls?

Gold.

Gold?!

Gold?! Gold?!
Gold?!

And that's
the story, folks.

I was up till
: this morning
with Mr. howell,

and he wouldn't
give an inch.

So we might
just as well finish
working on the raft.

Gilligan's dug
a lot of gold
out of that mine.

Doesn't he get any?

No, professor.
He was working on

a straight hourly
apprentice rate.

I don't think
that's fair.
Do you, Mary Ann?

I certainly do not.
Couldn't we go
to Mrs. howell?

That wouldn't do
any good either,
Mary Ann.

She's working
by the hour, too.

I hate to say
this, skipper,

but last night
when I was looking
down the mine

at all that gold,

something happened
to me.

Well, ginger,
if you can admit it,
so can I.

I've got gold fever.

Professor?

Why not?
Schoolteachers are human.

It's amazing.
We've all been bitten

by the same bug
at the same time.

Gee. I hope it
isn't catching.

I'd hate to see
poor gilligan
come down with it.

It's a cinch
he'll catch it
sooner or later.

Don't say that,
skipper.

Don't say what?
What have I got?
What have I got?

Calm down,
gilligan.

Skipper, you gotta
tell me the truth.
What have I got?

I know there's
no doctor or hospital
on this island.

I wanna know the truth.
What have I got?

All I said is that
you will probably get
what we've already got.

Oh, no! Oh, no, no!
What's everybody got?

Gold fever,
gilligan.

That's what Mr. howell
said would happen.

Oh, never mind
all that now.

I sent you over
to Mr. howell
with a final plea

in hopes that
he might share
his gold with us.

Right, skipper.
Like I told him,

all for one
and one for all.

And what was
his answer?

He sent me back
with this letter.

Well, read
the letter aloud.

Everybody is concerned
with it, gilligan.

You want me to read
the whole letter?

The whole letter.
What is his answer?

Ahem...

"No."

He certainly writes
a nice letter.

I guess
it's hopeless.

Turned me down.
Now he's turned
gilligan down.

We've tried
every approach.

Not every approach,
skipper.

[Whistling]

Hello, Mr. howell.

Yes, yes, miss Grant.

I was just
wondering--

everyone's been wondering,
and the answer is no.

No?

That's right.
A -karat no.

But, Mr. howell,
i just wanted to
tell you something.

Mr. howell,
i don't think
the others

have been
very fair to you
about your gold mine.

You don't?

No. I don't like
the way they've been
acting at all.

Heavens to fort Knox,
neither do I.

Mr. howell, I think
they've been making
you feel guilty

about digging
your gold mine.

I've been digging so fast,
i haven't had a chance
to feel guilty.

I been--i--i--

Mr. howell.
Yes?

I think they're
very greedy,

depriving you
of the right
to be generous

and to be
the wonderful man
i know you are.

What?

Mr. howell,
i know you.

I know
that deep down
in your soul,

you're a wonderful,
generous man,

and you wanted
to share your gold
with all of us.

Yes, I did...

But thank goodness
i fought off that
nasty impulse.

The answer
is still...No!

No?

No doubt about it.

The only way we're gonna
get any gold for ourselves

is to stake out a claim
and start digging.

Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!

Water, please.

[Gasp] Did you have
to spill everything
all over the table?

Do you have to yell
at the table?

[Coughs]

Do you have to sing
at the table?

I wasn't singing.
I was coughing.

Well, do you
have to cough
at the table?

No gold for you
either, huh?

Not a nugget.

Hi...

[All griping at once]

Anyone wanna work
on the raft tonight?

Absolutely!
Good idea,
skipper!

I'm sorry we're
late, folks,

but we just struck
a rich vein,

and lovey was afraid
it might bleed
all over the floor.

Mrs. howell:
Thurston can't stand
a messy mine.

He always says
a mine that's lumpy
makes you grumpy.

An ode to the mother lode!

Well, don't let
your bad luck

ruin our good dinner,
right, lovey?

Right, darling.
You've no idea

how filling bags
with gold gives you
an appetite.

Come on,
let's go down

and take a look
at the raft, huh?

Yes. I'm not
very hungry anyway.

Say, uh, captain...
How's it coming?
Any progress?

Not since I've been
in the mining business.

I'm gonna turn in
my pick and shovel

and start working
on that raft
in the morning.

As long as
you're turning in
your mining tools,

perhaps Mrs. howell
and I could use them.

When I say "use,"
of course I mean
on a rental basis.

Say, if i
rent 'em to you,
maybe I can do--

that'd work out
just fine.
Ha ha ha!

Anybody home?

Who's calling?

Gilligan's rent-a-pick
calling.

Yes, yes, gentlemen.
Come in.

Door-to-cave
service.

Boy, have we got
some bargains for you.

I just love bargains.

Gentlemen, this is
an unexpected pleasure,
i must say.

All part of
our service,
Mr. howell.

Oh, lovey, come
see what daddy has
bought for you.

We have
pieces here.

If you buy all ,
we'll give you a
very special price.

We hate to
break up a set.

Good morning, gilligan.
How are you, skipper?

Oh, thurston howell III,

are all these
beautiful things
for me?

Nothing finer for
the dainty miner.

Oh, darling, you're
so extravagant.

Yes, my dear.
I'll see you later
at the papaya club.

I can't wait to use them.
Thank you, darling.

Now, gentlemen,
what is the name
of your company?

Oh, no checks,
please, Mr. howell.

No checks?!

No banks.

Money will do
just fine.

I haven't used money
in the past years.

Might I suggest
one of these bags?

One of those bags
is worth $ !

Well, might I suggest
of these bags?

But--

...so the elephant said,
"let go of my trunk."

Oh, ginger,
my compliments
to the chef.

That was a superb
seafood salad.
Thank you.

I hope the lobster wasn't
too rich for you.

If he was, he
didn't get a chance
to mention it.

Thurston, you know,
i think it's rude

to talk about money
at the table in front
of a strange lobster.

Will that be
all, sir?

Yes, that'll be all.
Here you are, sir.

What is this?
That's the
dinner check.

$ ?!

Seafood salad--$ ?!

Lobster-- ?!

Grapefruit
muffins-- ,

side order
of guava jelly--
, uh...

So that's your
little game, huh?

First the skipper,
then gilligan.

You're gonna charge
us for our meals,
huh? Well!

That's a fine
kettle of fish.

Thanks for reminding
me, Mrs. howell.

For what?

One kettle
of fish--$ .

And that is positively
my last offer.

Well, if $ is
all you can spend,

take only candles.
What?

You can't b*at
that price anyplace
on the island.

Please, thurston.
You can't see a thing
down in that mine.

Alright, I'll
take candles.

Give the man
$ , .

$ more, and i
could gift-wrap
these for you.

No. $ , for
of them, that's
my last offer.

Well, you're
the man with
the gold mine.

Oh, by the way,
as long as
you're here,

would you
like to look
at some wicks?

You mean there
aren't any wicks
in these candles?

Not for this
kind of money.

That raft is in
perfect shape.

We can float for days
until we're spotted
by a ship or a plane.

I hope that provisions
have been made for my bag
of gold aboard your raft.

Nothing doing. The professor
knows exactly how much weight
that raft will support.

Right. With our combined
weight and the weight
of the provisions,

we can't take a chance.
Gold is very heavy.

Well, my bag
isn't heavy.

Mine's as light
as a feath--

can't I take
a teensy-weensy
little bag of gold?

How teensy-weensy
a bag?

This teensy-weensy?

No!

[Thud]
Ohh!

There will be no gold
aboard the raft,

and that goes for
you, too, gilligan.

I don't have
any gold.

You had $ , worth
last night.

I know. I never
should've ordered
that coconut cream pie.

Alright, everybody,
get on board.

I wanna take these
golf sticks back

to show
to the boys
at the club.

Million laughs.

Mr. howell.
Mrs. howell.

Oh, captain,
that's alright.

I made this handbag
while I was here.

I want
to take it home
to show everyone.

Why, certainly.
Watch your step now.

Watch it there,
dear.

This is my homemade
guava jelly.

Can't have too much
of this around.

Ha ha! That's
right, Mary Ann.
Watch your step.

I've got a complete
diary of every day
we've spent here.

Should make
a great movie, huh?

I should say so.

These botanical
specimens

should be of
special interest
back at the school.

Don't fall over
that, professor.

Alright, gilligan...
Cast off.

I sure hope this floats.
You know how deep
the lagoon is.

I know how deep
the lagoon is.

Now cast off.

Everybody get an oar!
Here we go, folks...

Headed for the shipping lanes
and rescue!

Yeah, au revoir!
Good-bye, island!

Bye!

Yeah, good-bye.

Stroke! Stroke!

Row, Mrs. howell!

Gilligan,
hold your course--

we're sinking.

Preposterous!

We couldn't have
disasters under
the same captain.

Skipper,
what will we do?

Aah!
It's alright.

What'll we do?

Abandon--
abandon ship!

Women and luggage first!

Oh! My hat!
Oh!

We're drowning!
Oh! I can't swim!

Women and luggage first!
Women and luggage first!

Aah! Lovey!

Skipper, are you or
aren't you gonna go
down with the ship?

I hope not, but if I go,
you'll go with me!

Thurston: Gilligan!
Get my golf clubs!

There! Get my golf clubs!

Lovey! Where are you,
my darling?

Hang on!

We sank anyway,
even without the gold.

I'm afraid this is
all my fault, folks.

I didn't think one bag
of gold would sink us.

bags.

bags.

bags.

bags.

bags?

Huh, that's
a switch.

Usually,
I'm the one left
holding the bag.

Well, I guess we've all
learned a bitter lesson.

You're so right,
professor.

We've lost all our gold,

and we've ruined
our life raft,

all because
we were so greedy.

I'll never be
greedy again.

Neither will I.

Neither will I.
Thurston?

You people
are always taking
the fun out of life.

Ooh! Mm...Mm...

Look what I found
in this oyster.

Ginger:
It's a Pearl!

Why, it's a perfect Pearl!

Uh, where'd you
find that oyster?

Over in the cove.
There's hundreds
of them.

Hundreds of them!

Or maybe thousands of them!

Or maybe only
