03x25 - The Secret of Gilligan's Island

Post by bunniefuu »

Gilligan!

Gilligan!

Gilligan!

Say, I'll bet he's in

One of these caves around here.

Gilligan, are you in there?

[Echo] gilligan, are you in there?

Can you hear me, little buddy?

[Echo] can you hear me, little buddy?

Gilligan, you missed your breakfast.

Gilligan: I'll be right there.

Hey, look at what I found.

Never mind what you found, gilligan.

We've been looking for you all over the island.

What for? I'm in here.

I can't believe it.

Why, these drawings are prehistoric hieroglyphics.

Gilligan, do you realize what you've done?

I didn't do it. Honest. I can't even pronounce it.

You may have discovered a way to get us off the island.

A little to your right there, skipper.

That's it. Come on, professor.

Watch your head, skipper. Just keep coming that way.

Oof!

A little to your right, professor,

Otherwise we'll trip over our instructions.

Let's--let's put it down a minute, skipper.

Thank you, gilli--ahh!

Professor, I just don't understand.

Is this really a way off the island?

Skipper, I happen to know a little something about hieroglyphics.

Why, I spent years with an archeological expedition in egypt.

Now, this circle with a fish around it means "island."

And these figures represent people leaving the island.

Of course, this is just a section of a much larger tablet.

This area over here is too faint to read.

Perhaps some water would wash the dirt away

And make it a little more legible.

And easier to read.

Yeah.

Would you go get the professor some water?

Aye, aye, sir.

Skipper, we've got to search

All the caves in this area.

If the rest of this tablet exists,

We've gotta find it.

Oh, professor, believe me.

If this means rescue,

I'll go through all these caves

Around here on my hands and knees!

Uhh! Gilligan, I told you to follow me.

Skipper.

What is it?

I'm stuck.

I told you to follow me, didn't i?

Will you cut that out?

[Blows] tic-tac-toe?

I played that game last week

When I was exploring the caves.

You played tic-tac-toe by yourself?

One day, I won out of .

Would you hold this?

Oh, professor, we just heard the good news

That we're gonna get off the island.

Yes, yes! Where's the ship?

We don't have a ship.

Oh, ever better, a plane!

There is no plane, mr. Howell.

No plane, no ship, then how are we gonna get home?

This tablet.

Oh, well, do you think it's big enough for all of us?

Oh, no, no. You see, this tablet

Contains the secret to getting off the island.

Oh, secrets, secrets! I just love secrets!

Yes. If there's one thing I love to tell, it's a secret.

I'm trying to figure out these hieroglyphics,

But several pieces of the tablet are still missing in the caves.

Perhaps you'd like to go search for them.

Oh, could we, thurston? It'd be such fun.

Yes. We can pretend we're sherlock holmes and dr. Watson.

Can I be dr. Watson this time?

Well, ever since medicare came in, I don't give a darn.

Professor, hope I don't offend you with my political views.

Professor. Professor.

Ooh, careful, gilligan.

We got another piece just like the first one

With the same kind of markings on it.

Marvelous. Now be very careful.

What do you make of it?

Well, I'm sure it's part of the same tablet. Look.

The same type of drawings.

They didn't draw very well, did they?

Oh, gilligan, these aren't really drawings.

This is the way cavemen talked to each other.

What a crazy alphabet.

This is so exciting, I kind of hate to stop for lunch.

Well, we don't have to.

Gilligan, why don't you go get us some lunch?

Yeah, sure. What do you want,

Coconuts, pineapple, and bananas or bananas, coconuts, and pineapple?

Well, I think bananas, coconuts--oh, would you get going and get some lunch?

I'm afraid the water didn't clean it very well.

But how are you gonna read the messages?

Well, I've started ginger and mary ann making an acid solution.

The acid should be able to eat through the dirt that's filled in the lines.

Oh, professor, if I had a brain like yours...

I guess I'd be a professor.

I hope we did everything right, mary ann.

I hope so, too. I never cooked a pot of acid before.

Me neither.

It says simmer for a few minutes in a stone pot.

Well, let's see if it's ready.

It's ready.

Let's go tell 'em.

Hey, ginger? Mary ann?

I have to bring back the lunch.

Oh, soup.

It's certainly missing something.

Stop! Gilligan, put that down!

What are you doing?

Oh, I was gonna taste your soup, but...

Boy, you girls sure do make strong soup.

Gilligan, that's not soup. That's acid.

Are you lucky we got back in time.

What's the matter? You look funny.

I was just thinking how close I came to having permanent heartburn.

Can you imagine, people actually lived in caves like this?

Where were the servants' quarters?

There were no servants. They did their own work.

Ooh, how dreadful.

Yeah. Explains the decline and fall of the roman empire, believe me.

Lovey, either this damp cave air has made you grow

Or made me shrink.

Thurston, look. I'm standing on a tablet!

Ohh! Ohh!

Yes, it's definitely a part of the same tablet.

Well, that acid is sure working, professor.

You know, skipper, I think that piece there

Would fit right in this piece here.

Well, I think you're right, gilligan. Let's try it.

Would you help us out here, mr. Howell?

Yes, I'll give you a hand. There.

Push it over there. That's it.

I've always been good at puzzles.

In kindergarten, I got an "a" in jigsaw.

This is so exciting. Let me try.

I once put together a puzzle that had pieces.

And I only used of them.

Now, let me see.

That goes there.

That goes here? We'll try it out here.

No. It doesn't fit, mrs. Howell.

Oh, pooh.

Wait a minute, this piece--right,

If we just move this-- here, give me a hand.

Over here. It'll just fit in like that.

No. That's wrong, too, mr. Howell.

A howell is never wrong.

Break off a piece and make it fit.

Please, mr. Howell, these pieces have got to fit together exactly,

Like a jigsaw.

I think we're missing maybe a jig or a saw.

Well, that's a rather unique way of phrasing it,

But I think gilligan is right.

Several pieces of the tablet are still missing.

You know, ginger,

The professor said the people who carved those tablets

Actually lived in these caves.

Ooh, glad I'm not a cavewoman.

Oh, me either, especially the way the men used to

Grab the women by the hair

And drag them along on the ground on their...

Yeah. Probably how they invented the bustle.

[Chittering]

Aah! Aah!

[Both screaming]

It's gone.

Oh, thank goodness.

Ginger. Look at this rock!

It's part of the tablet!

Oh!

Ohh!

Thank you, bat, wherever you are.

It all makes sense now.

I'm convinced this tablet

Shows the route to some nearby island.

Now, here in the center is the main message.

People in a boat.

And here is a remarkable drawing of our lagoon.

Look at that monster in the lagoon.

Gilligan, that's a mosquito on the tablet.

I'll get it, skipper.

Gilligan! You'll break the tablet.

Why don't you go get us some nice, fresh fruit?

Ok. Do you want coconuts, bananas, and pineapple, or pineap--

Get the fresh fruit.

Now, professor, back to the map.

Where exactly is the financial district?

Well, this isn't exactly a map, mr. Howell,

But it may be the key to our rescue.

Now, the trail leaves the lagoon.

It crosses here.

That part must be under construction.

It picks up again here

And leads to a nearby island with many people.

Now, we've go to find the part that fits here.

And the legend of the missing part

Will show us how to get off the island.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Here's the fruit.

Now, we must all remember that the missing part

May not be in one piece. It may be in several pieces.

But if it were in one piece,

It would be about the size of this tray.

It would have the same color and consistency of the rest of the tablet,

Which is just about like this.

Well, if you didn't want the fruit, why'd you send me to go get it?

Now, I suggest that we all spread--

All: gilligan!

Gilligan! You!

It's just like you people.

You take something away, and you want it right back.

Gilligan, you found the missing piece.

This? I've been carrying this around for months on the island,

And it's the missing piece?!

You know, this tablet could be a million years old.

It doesn't look a day over a thousand.

Don't keep me in suspense any longer, professor.

Is it going to get us off the island?

I'm sure it will, ginger.

Ah, the missing pieces

Were the key to leaving the island,

Just as I suspected. Now, look here.

This half sun, indicating a half day,

Tells the amount of time it will take

To get into a position where the ocean currents

Can pick you up and take you to a big island.

Skipper: big island?

Big island? You know what that means. That means hawaii!

I love hawaii! Hawaii!

That's right! Absolutely!

Reserve me a stateroom on the raft.

Well, I'm afraid it's rather difficult

For all of us to make the trip on the raft, mr. Howell.

So I suggest gilligan and the skipper start out

And then send a ship back for us.

Where is gilligan?

Well, I think he thinks we're still mad at him for dropping that tablet.

Oh, I'll go find him.

Gilligan: you don't have to, mary ann.

I heard every word.

Here--whoa!

Ooh, whoa!

Gilligan!

Oh, are you all right?

Are you all right, little buddy?

Oh, yeah.

I'm fine.

Luckily, I landed on my head.

It was a nasty fall out of that tree.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah. I sure saw hot dogs.

You mean stars.

No. I saw hot dogs.

Gilligan, that's ridiculous.

When a person bumps their head, they see stars.

When I bump my head, I see stars.

Now, what is it you see when you bump your head?

Stars, but they're shaped like hot dogs.

Go to bed.

Once we get that tablet fixed, we're gonna be leaving the island,

And we gotta have a good night's sleep.

Oh, little buddy,

I guess that bump was harder than you thought.

Why don't we switch bunks?

Thanks, skipper.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night, skipper.

[Skipper grunts]

Skipper!

What is it?

Maybe I ought to get in my own bunk.

I'm kinda used to it.

Sure, gilligan.

[Grunts]

Here, let me help you.

Skipper, I'm kinda afraid to go out in that raft tomorrow.

We don't know what might happen.

Well, I know one thing that'll happen.

If you don't get to bed, you're gonna be asleep,

And we will leave without you.

Now, get in the sack.

There. Good night, little buddy.

Good night, skipper.

You know, skipper,

The professor said that a million years ago,

The chief of the cavemen tried to keep his people from leaving.

He said other places were bad and evil.

Did you know that?

I know that you're keeping me awake.

Now go to sleep, gilligan.

That caveman that carved that tablet,

He sure must've been brave.

Not half as brave as you are.

Now go to sleep!

Please!

Yeah, must've been fun

To live a million years ago.

Caves and cave people...

You gotta be brave.

You gotta...

Caves and...

Chief...

Cave people...

[Clanking]

[Clanking]

Mr. Howell: gilligan!


Too late! Me see picture!

Customer say making picture bad! Rrff!

Gilligan say picture good.

No, no, no!

Picture evil place.

Other side of hill!

Next time gilligan make bad picture,

Smash gilligan to pieces.

Ah-di-di-di-bee!

Ah-di-di-di-bee!

Gilligan all right?

No hurt. Chief angry

'Cause gilligan make picture.

Oh, not look at picture.

Chief howell say

Not look at evil place on other side of hill.

No true. No evil.

No. We not go. Skipper afraid.

We starve on way.

Maybe carry food. Maybe clothes.

How we carry all these things?

Professor invent wheel.

Professor say most important invention take on trip.

Professor wrong.

Skipper know most important invention take on trip.

Women!

I go professor now. I go get wheel.

I get women.

No matter what skipper say,

Ginger and mary ann stay here.

And skin stay here.

Why skipper need so many skins?

Is very cold on other side of hill.

Gilligan say they have thing called snow.

What is snow?

Is white, lumpy rain.

We don't need rain. We need husbands.

Men on this side of hill run too fast.

Easy for man to slip on snow.

What?

Easy to catch man running in snow.

Man run, slip on snow,

Girls catch husband.

Ooh, other side of hill sound very good to mary ann.

Sound good to ginger.

We like snow.

We need husbands.

Wheel work?

Uh, not know yet.

Have not tried new wheel.

Other wheels work?

Ah, other wheels not work.

What wheel should do?

Wheel should turn around.

How professor know?

Oh, one time professor see tree.

Big storm come.

Tree fall.

Turn round and round. Roll away.

Give professor idea for wheel.

Ready to try.

Gilligan help.

[Club bounces]

What do now?

Try to make go.

Ooh!

No. Wheel not work.

Oh.

Unh!

Skipper get girls to go.

Gilligan get professor to go.

Chief got you. Nobody go!

Grrr!

How long chief howell keep us in cave?

He say years

Or until we die,

Whichever comes first.

Oh, without gilligan,

Cannot find land of free

And home of brave.

Only gilligan understand picture.

This look like right way.

Oh, no.

Ginger forget.

World is flat.

Professor right.

Go wrong way, fall off edge.

Must get gilligan and skipper

Away from chief howell.

Ginger get gilligan and skipper away.

How?

Ginger know how.

Uh, ginger know how.

What ginger doing here?

Ginger go for walk.

Walk.

Ginger stop now.

Talk to chiefy whiefy.

Not come this close to chief.

Not come this close?

No. Closer.

Ooh.

What ginger do?

Ginger help us.

Gilligan think ginger help ginger.

Chiefy whiefy--

No. No. No call chief chiefy whiefy.

Why?

Chiefy whiefy wifey get mad.

What ginger winger want?

Ginger winger want chiefy whiefy

To let friends out of jail.

No. Never would I do thing like that.

Maybe ginger winger

Make chiefy whiefy change mind.

Nothing make chief change mind.

Nothing?

Well?

That not nothing.

That something.

Change mind.

Unh!

Aah!

Gilligan: skipper, we go now.

We free.

[Roaring]

[Roaring]

[All screaming]

[Dinosaur roaring]

Dinosaur! Dinosaur!

Big dinosaur. Dinosaur! Dinosaur!

Dinosaur!

Dinosaur! Dinosaur!

Dinosaur.

What happened? What is it? What is it, gilligan?

Skipper, I had a dream.

I dreamt we were all cave people.

You know where we lived?

In caves?

Yeah. You must've had the same dream.

We're all dressed up like cave people, and we're trying to--

Look, gilligan, we haven't got time

To talk about your dream.

We're supposed to shove off to hawaii.

I'm afraid it would all be a waste of time.

What would be a waste of time?

I'm afraid I made a terrible mistake.

You made a mistake?

Yes, you see, cuneiform,

Which is the oldest form of writing,

Was originated by the sumerians

And is read demotically.

However, I read the tablet

As though it were a blue strophegon, you see?

Yeah, I see fine. I also hear pretty good.

But I don't understand one word you said.

I've got to admit,

A couple of those words went past me, too.

Well, basically, all ancient forms of writing

Are read from right to left. I read from left to right.

So instead of telling us how to leave the island,

The tablet tells us something they consider much more important,

Which is how to get here.

You mean the tablet tells how to get on the island?

What's so tough about that?

We did it without even trying.

Yeah, w--

I see.

Well, then in other words, professor,

You mean that the cave people

Didn't get off the island either.

Exactly, skipper. They were stuck here just the way we are.

Ah...

[Clinking]

Gilligan, what are you doing?

Oh. I'm leaving a message here

For anybody who might be shipwrecked in the next million years

In case they want to get off.

A message?

What message?
