CUT TO: CLOSE UP - SKIPPER

	The skipper is sitting up with a confused expression 
	on his face. 

CUT TO: EXTERNAL CABIN AREA OF BOAT

	He gets up and does a quick look around. There are 
	several other people seen asleep in the stern as he 
	jumps off the boat and onto the beach.  

CUT TO: EXT – BEACH – MORNING – MEDIUM SHOT

	As he is at the stern of the boat he raps on the 
	foot of his first mate Gilligan who is still asleep. 
	We follow the captain of the stricken vessel as he 
	surveys the beach and surrounding area. 

				SKIPPER
			Hey Gilligan. (pause)
			Gilligan!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan hears his name and wakes up. Not knowing 
	he's on land, assumes the skipper has fallen 
	overboard and reacts.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh my gosh! Man overboard!

	He gets up and decides to save the skipper.

CUT TO: BEACH – SKYWARD SHOT – REAR OF BOAT

				GILLIGAN
			I'll save you skipper!!

	Gilligan hurls himself off the rear of the boat and 
	thinks he's diving into the ocean. He hits the sandy 
	beach instead.

CUT TO: BEACH – CLOSE UP – GILLIGAN 

	Gilligan is laying face down in the sand. He raises 
	his head enough to spit out the sand and see the 
	skipper kneeling next to him.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, the Minnow's been beached!

				GILLIGAN
			Beached!? When the storm was over and it 
			was calm you said we'd be home in no 
			time!

				SKIPPER
			It may take longer.

				GILLIGAN
			But when the passengers wake up and want 
			to get off at the marina, what are gonna 
			tell'em?

				SKIPPER
			I'll think of something.

				GILLIGAN
			How are we gonna get home!? 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BOAT WITH JAGGED HOLES

				GILLIGAN
				 (O.S.)
			Look at those holes!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The skipper hearing enough whining from Gilligan 
	gives him a dirty look.

				GILLIGAN
			No skipper, I'm very happy to be here. 
			I'm so happy I could kiss the ground!

	Gilligan does just that and kisses the beach. He 
	gets a mouth full of sand in the process.

				GILLIGAN
			This island tastes terrible.

FADE TO: EXT – BEACH – DAY – LATER

				ACT ONE

FADE IN

STOCK SHOT OF OCEAN/BEACH/PALM TREES

FADE TO: EXT – LAGOON BEACH – DAY

	Gilligan is seen working at the lagoon's north 
	beach. Strewn about him is what appears to be a raft 
	he's been working. He seems quite pleased with 
	himself and is jumping up and down. 

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper! Hey Skipper! I finished it! I 
			finished it!

	The skipper walks on camera in response to Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
			Oh that's great! I knew you could do it 
			Gilligan! I'm real proud of my little 
			buddy!

	The skipper looks around and see the unfinished raft.

				SKIPPER
			Wait a minute. Do you call that 
			finished!?

				GILLIGAN
			Not the raft, the sign!

	We see a sign that reads "Gilligan raft maker"

				GILLIGAN
			It's a beauty isn't it!?

				SKIPPER
			Yes Gilligan, but we can't sail a sign. 
			Now start lashing those poles together 
			with that vine!

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye, sir.

	Gilligan turns to start working on the raft. The 
	professor walks on camera to address the skipper.

				PROFESSOR
				  (O.S.)
			Skipper.

	The professor walks on camera.

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper you and Gilligan have got to give 
			up this crazy scheme.

				SKIPPER
			Professor there is nothing crazy about 
			trying to reach civilization in order to 
			bring back help.

				PROFESSOR
			On the type of raft your building it's 
			scientifically impossible, you haven't 
			got a chance.

				GILLIGAN
			We haven't?

				PROFESSOR
			Absolutely not.

	Gilligan stops working and is about to toss a large 
	bamboo pole he's carrying after hearing that.

				SKIPPER
			       (STERNLY)
			Gilligan.

	Gilligan goes back to work.

				PROFESSOR
			With out the proper materials you can't 
			possible survive the wind the waves the 
			coral reefs, not to mention the sharks.

	Gilligan once again is about to toss the bamboo pole 
	after hearing the professor.

				SKIPPER
			       (STERNLY)
			Gilligan.

	Gilligan goes back to work.

				PROFESSOR
			The entire adventure is suicidal.

	Gilligan stops work completely after hearing that 
	and throws down the bamboo pole and tears down his 
	sign.

				SKIPPER
			Get back here!

	The skipper grabs Gilligan by the arm and drags him back.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper, maybe the professor's right. 
			Maybe he got something there. I mean this 
			is a nice little island, why don't we 
			stick around for a little while.

				SKIPPER
			Start tying!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP MARY ANN AND GINGER NEAR LAGOON

	Mary Ann and Ginger are sitting sewing a sail for 
	the raft.
	
				MARY ANN
			It's the most wonderful thing I've ever 
			heard of Ginger.  Gilligan and the 
			skipper risking everything! Braving those 
			stormy seas and fighting off the attack 
			of savages!

				GINGER
			Reminds me of a trip I once took to 
			Catalina on a movie producers yacht.

	Gilligan walks on camera to where Mary Ann and 
	Ginger are.

				GILLIGAN
			Hi girls! How you coming along with the 
			sail?

				GINGER
			Great!

				MARY ANN
			Oh it's almost finished!

	Mary Ann holds up the sail for Gilligan to see that 
	it's made from bits and pieces including socks. 

				GILLIGAN
			Hey those look like my socks in there!

				GINGER
			They are!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh.

				MARY ANN
			Thanks for the contribution it's just 
			what we needed to finish the sail.

	Mary Ann looks at the sail and deems it complete.


				MARY ANN
			Well, that does it!

				GILLIGAN
			OK, I'll take it down to the raft.

				GINGER
			Wait!

				GILLIGAN
			Huh.

				GINGER
			Don't you want to read the sail!?

				GILLIGAN
			Read the sail?

				MARY ANN
			Oh it was Gingers idea! Look what she 
			wrote on the front!

	Gilligan is standing behind the sail and is looking 
	down at it from above. The sail has the letters 
	S.O.S. spelled out with socks. Gilligan reads the 
	sail out loud.

				GILLIGAN
			Sos?

				MARY ANN
			S   O   S.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yeah I read it upside down.

				GINGER
			On the other side we wanted to write 
			please hurry, but we ran out of socks.

FLIP TO: EXT – LAGOON – DAY - LATER

	The skipper and Gilligan are still working on the 
	raft. Gilligan is using a brush made from bamboo and 
	palm fronds to apply something to the raft. The 
	skipper, with his back to Gilligan is working on 
	another part of the raft. 

				SKIPPER
			Before you put that shellac on, make sure 
			that mast is secure.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh the mast is strong enough to hold the 
			sail.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, it might have to hold us if we 
			run into a storm out there! Oh never mind 
			I'll check it myself!

	The skipper tugs on the ropes securing the mast and 
	appears pleased.

				SKIPPER
			Not bad! Not bad at all! Gilligan your 
			doing a…

	The skipper turns around and see Gilligan eating the 
	shellac.

				SKIPPER
			…good…job. 
			What are you doing with that?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh the professor made the shellac out of 
			coconut sap and sugar. You want some?

				SKIPPER
			NO! Now finish up that job!

	Gilligan starts to eat the shellac again.

				SKIPPER
			And stop eating that shellac!

	The skipper turns without looking and gets tangled 
	in the ropes securing the mast and trips, yelling as 
	he goes.

				GILLIGAN
			Watch the rope skipper!

	The skipper regains his balance and give Gilligan a 
	dirty look.

				SKIPPER
			    (SARCASTICALLY)
			Thanks a lot Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper?

				SKIPPER
			What.

				GILLIGAN
			This'd be great frozen! A shellac-cicle!

				SKIPPER
			Where is the putty the professor made?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh the putty is delicious skipper! He 
			made it out of crushed Mangos and berry 
			seeds Mmmmmmp!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, can I make you understand this! 
			We are not going out there for a joy 
			ride! It might get pretty rough out 
			there!

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			Skipper!? 

	The professor walks on camera carrying some native 
	artifacts including a necklace and a ceremonial 
	mask.

				SKIPPER
			What is it professor?

				PROFESSOR
			Skipper look at these I found in one of 
			the caves.

				SKIPPER
			Uh oh! 
			Gilligan do you know what these are?

				GILLIGAN
			No, but if they taste as good as the 
			putty I'll have them for desert.

	Gilligan reaches out to touch the necklace and the 
	skipper slaps his hand.

				SKIPPER
			Looks like a native arrow head to me.

				PROFESSOR
			Look at this ceremonial mask. It looks 
			very much like the work of the savage 
			Marubi tribe.

				SKIPPER
			Oh professor we have been all over this 
			island, there are no natives on it! Now 
			what is it your driving at?

				PROFESSOR
			First the Marubi still exist as a tribe. 
			Second they may very well be on one of 
			the nearby islands. Third, you and your 
			raft might land on one of those islands.

				GILLIGAN
			Fourth, maybe we shouldn't go.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan it is our duty. When this raft 
			is ready, we are going to shove off.

				GILLIGAN
			     (RELUCTANTLY)
			Aye, aye, sir.

	The skipper walks off camera, leaving Gilligan and 
	the professor.

				GILLIGAN
			Professor? Those savage Marubies, what do 
			they do?

				PROFESSOR
			They're collectors Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh that doesn't sound too bad. What do 
			they collect?

				PROFESSOR
			Heads.

	The professor starts to walk off camera as he 
	responds.  Gilligan reacts with surprise.

				GILLIGAN
			    (HIGH PITCHED)
			Heads?

FLIP TO: EXT – LAGOON BEACH – DAY

	The skipper is working away as Mr. And Mrs. Howell 
	approach.

				MR HOWELL
			Oh skipper. Ah…here's that list of things 
			I want you to do the moment your raft 
			docks.

				SKIPPER
			I'll get to 'em just as soon as I can Mr. 
			Howell.

				MR HOWELL
			Yes I think you'll find the list self 
			explanatory. These are the names of the 
			stocks you see.
 
			The letter S opposite means sell, B means 
			buy, M means merge and H means…wonder 
			what H means?

				MRS HOWELL
			H is for Howell dear, it's your note 
			paper.

				MR HOWELL
			Ah yes yes of course, H that's me! You 
			too.

				SKIPPER
			You folks don't understand. We'll be kept 
			busy when we land just arranging a rescue 
			party.

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh, captain, speaking of parties, would 
			you please get in touch with Mrs. 
			Vanhampton? You see Mr. Howell and I 
			promised to attend her party, and we 
			weren't able to, what with getting ship 
			wrecked and everything.

				SKIPPER
			Well I'm sorry folks but I can't worry 
			about the stock market and parties. We've 
			got a lot of things to do FIRST!

				MR HOWELL
			Lovey, there's only one way to protect 
			our interests. I will have to go along on 
			the raft. Ah Gilligan, bring my luggage.

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

				SKIPPER
			Never mind Gilligan! Just keep loading 
			the supplies on board.

				Gilligan
			Yes sir.

				SKIPPER
			Mr. Howell, you don't know what it's like 
			out there on the ocean. You may be bitten 
			by a shark!

				MR HOWELL
			A shark bite a Howell!? Heh…heh he 
			wouldn't dare!

				SKIPPER
			Well besides, we haven't got room enough 
			for your luggage!

				MR HOWELL
			Oh well that's different. If I can't go 
			first class, I won't go at all! Come 
			along Lovey. Even tourist is crowded!

				SKIPPER
			Well folks, looks like Gilligan and I are 
			ready to shove off! 

			  MARY ANN AND GINGER
			Wait a minute!

				MARY ANN
			Wait, these are for you!
			They'll bring you luck!

	Mary Ann and Ginger have brought Hawaiian style 
	lei's and start putting them around the skipper and 
	Gilligan's necks. 

				SKIPPER
			Well how very nice ladies! Just 
			wonderful. Just about all I can say is 
			Aloha Nui Oi. That's Hawaiian for, till 
			we meet again.

				GINGER
			I learned a little Hawaiian. When I was 
			singing in a club in Waikiki.
			Wahni Wiki huki loki nu, and every word 
			of it comes from the bottom of my heart.

				GILLIGAN
			Gee that's real nice Ginger. What does it 
			mean?

				GINGER
			This bar is off limits to all military 
			personnel.

				SKIPPER
			Well come on Gilligan, it looks like 
			we're ready to shove off! Hoist the 
			anchor, let go of the stern line!

	The skipper and Gilligan start to paddle the raft 
	away from shore. Since Gilligan failed to hoist the 
	anchor, the raft only goes so far and stops. 
	Meanwhile the skipper and Gilligan are frantically 
	rowing. 

				ALL
			   (AD LIBBING)
			Aloha! Good Bye! Bon Voyage!...

				SKIPPER
			Goodbye folks!
	
			Row Gilligan! Row!

				ALL
			   (AD LIBBING)
			Aloha! Good Bye! Bon Voyage! 

				GILLIGAN
			Goodbye! Bye! Bye!

	The skipper finally realizes why they're not going 
	anywhere.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan. Gilligan! Did you pull in the 
			anchor!?

				GILLIGAN
			That would make us go a lot faster.

				SKIPPER
			Well go get it!

	Gilligan gets off the raft and runs over to the 
	anchor and lifts it up. Gilligan walks with the 
	anchor into the lagoon as the raft sails away. The 
	skipper seems completely unaware that he's not 
	onboard and keeps rowing.

				GILLIGAN
			Well, bye!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP - GINGER

				GINGER
			      (YELLING)
			Call my agent!

			Be careful!

				GILLIGAN
			Bye!

				GINGER
			Goodbye Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Bye!


	Gilligan keeps walking with the anchor as he follows 
	the raft.  He continues to walk until he's 
	completely underwater. The remaining castaways on 
	shore are witness to the whole thing but keep 
	yelling out their farewells. Mrs. Howell is becoming 
	concerned.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP - PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			Thurston, I do believe Gilligan's gone 
			underwater.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The skipper finally realizes Gilligan's underwater.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan! (pause)
			Gilligan!

	The skipper pulls up on the anchor rope and Gilligan 
	pops to the surface.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP – PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Good, he's up again.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The skipper is then pulled off the raft by Gilligan 
	and ends up in the lagoon too.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP – MARY ANN AND GINGER 

				GINGER
			Take care!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP – PROFESSOR, MR. AND MRS. HOWELL

CUT TO: EXT – LAGOON – RAFT SHOT

	Gilligan is helping the skipper back up on the raft.

FADE TO: STOCK SHOT OF WAVES BREAKING ON A BEACH 

FADE TO: EXT – OCEAN – DAY

	The skipper and Gilligan are standing on the raft 
	far out to sea with no land in sight.

				GILLIGAN
			I'm flipping my lid I tell ya! Everywhere 
			I look, it's water water water!!

				SKIPPER
			You stop that Gilligan, that's an order!

				GILLIGAN
			Well I'm sick of orders! And I'm sick of 
			the sun and the wind and the spray and 
			the salt!

				SKIPPER
			What are you talking about!? We've only 
			been gone twenty minutes!

				GILLIGAN
			Gee is that all?

	The skipper has had it with Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
			Now sit down there and start paddling!
			Dig in! FAST!

	Gilligan does what he's told and starts paddling as 
	we…

FADE TO: EXT – BEACH – DAY
	
	Mary Ann and the professor are standing on the beach 
	scanning the horizon for the skipper and Gilligan.

				MARY ANN
			How do you think they're doing professor?

				PROFESSOR
			Awe it's hard to tell, but at least 
			they've had calm seas for the past three 
			days.

				MARY ANN
			Ooooo I hope they'll get through. They've 
			got a good raft, and the skipper's a fine 
			sailor and well…Gilligan is…oh I hope 
			they'll get through.

FLIP TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The skipper and Gilligan are still on the raft far 
	out to sea. The trip is beginning to take it toll on 
	the crew.

				SKIPPER
			No sign of land, sign of ships, no wind, 
			nothing!

				GILLIGAN
			Hey skipper? Let's have breakfast.

				SKIPPER
			We had breakfast.

				GILLIGAN
			Let's have lunch.

				SKIPPER
			We had lunch.

				GILLIGAN
			Let's have dinner!

			  SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN
			We had dinner too.

				SKIPPER
			By the way, where are those tropical 
			lei's the girls made for us?

	Gilligan reaches over and picks up what's left of 
	the lei's. Just a couple of loose vines with nothing 
	left on them. 

				GILLIGAN
			I had a snack.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan will you stop talking about 
			food!

				GILLIGAN
			OK skipper. (pause)
			I wish I had something to drink. Like a 
			hamburger, or French fries.

	Gilligan looks down into the water and finds bottle.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey, I wished for something to drink and 
			there's a bottle. Maybe it's soda.

				SKIPPER
			Maybe it's a bottle of beer!

	Gilligan reaches out and takes the floating bottle.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah!

				SKIPPER
			There's something in it!

	Gilligan takes out the cork and removes the 
	contents. He hands the cork to the skipper who 
	promptly throws it away.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey it's a note.

	Gilligan takes the note out and start looking at it.

				SKIPPER
			What is it?

				GILLIGAN
			HELP, WE ARE MAROONED ON A DESERT ISLAND.
			They spelled marooned wrong.

				SKIPPER
			Let me see that!
			Gilligan this is the note that you wrote!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yeah, I don't know how to spell 
			marooned.

				SKIPPER
			Errrr…give me that bottle!

	The skipper takes the bottle and tosses it back in 
	the ocean. Just then the crew notices several sharks 
	approaching the raft.

				SKIPPER
			We got company!

				GILLIGAN
			I sure hope they had three meals today.

				SKIPPER
			Where's that shark repellent? Didn't the 
			professor say he was going to make some?

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah, it was delicious.

				SKIPPER
				(ANGRILY)
			Oh Gilligan get over there and start 
			paddling!

	The skipper and Gilligan are frantically trying to 
	paddle the raft, but it doesn't seem to be going 
	anywhere. There are several sharks circling the raft 
	and as Gilligan tries to paddle. A shark takes a 
	bite out of Gilligan's paddle and he raises it up to 
	look at it in horror.

				SKIPPER
			Keep paddling!

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper look!

				SKIPPER
			Don't just stand there, keep paddling!

	One of the sharks takes another large bite out of 
	the end of Gilligan's paddle with a crunching sound.  
	Gilligan lifts the paddle out of the water only to 
	see that the paddle has been bitten completely off.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper!!

	As the sharks continue to make their attack on the 
	raft, they take large bites out of the raft. 
	Gilligan takes out his knife and cuts the vines 
	holding the raft together. The bamboo poles making 
	up the deck start to slide off into the water. The 
	skipper is picking up bamboo poles and tossing 
	them into the water to distract the sharks. The raft 
	is getting smaller and smaller and it is becoming 
	difficult to stand on the deck. The skipper keeps 
	falling over Gilligan in the process. As the raft 
	gets smaller, Gilligan ends up hanging on to the
	mast for dear life. The skipper is trying to hold 
	on to the mast also but there is barely enough room 
	to stand. Gilligan and the skipper are now only 
	barely staying afloat on what's left of their raft

FLIP TO: EXT – OCEAN – AFTERNOON

	The skipper and Gilligan are still standing  on the 
	remains of the raft as a storm develops.

				SKIPPER
			Thought we'd never get away from those 
			sharks!

				GILLIGAN
			Thank goodness bamboo is filling.

				SKIPPER
			We haven't got much raft left, but we'll 
			get where we're going. We got a good 
			current behind us.

				GILLIGAN
			Yep skipper! From here on it looks like 
			smooth sailing!

	Just then a thunderclap and lightening strikes, 
	along with a down pour occurs. The skipper and 
	Gilligan are now standing on a sinking raft as it 
	sinks deeper and deeper in the water.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper, do you think we should abandon 
			ship!?

				SKIPPER
			It's too late! It's already abandoned us!

	The skipper and Gilligan are left standing on the 
	sinking raft as we…

								FADE OUT

				

				ACT TWO

FADE IN

EXT – BEACH – MORNING

	The skipper and Gilligan are seen emerging from the 
	ocean in a tired and exhausted state. Gilligan is 
	seen dragging a long bamboo pole with him. As they 
	make their way on to the beach, they both collapse 
	on their knees onto the sand, soaking wet.

				SKIPPER
			You all right Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			Oh I'm fine skipper.

	The skipper notices the bamboo pole.

				SKIPPER
			What's that?

				GILLIGAN
			I saved the raft.

				SKIPPER
				(STERNLY)
			Good work Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			I wonder where we are.

				SKIPPER
			I don't know, we must have traveled 
			hundreds of miles. (pause)
			First thing we gotta do is build a fire.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh yeah. Right skipper. I've got some 
			matches right here.

	Gilligan reaches in his pocket and pulls out a 
	waterproofed package containing matches.

FLIP TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	The skipper has assembled some firewood and is 
	waiting for Gilligan to bring a burning log over to 
	get it going.

				SKIPPER
			All right Gilligan, I'm all set here! 
		Bring the fire! And don't let it go out!

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye, skipper Oooo Ooooo! Take it! 
			Take it! Take it please skipper! Take it!
			Takeittakeittakeittakeit!

	Gilligan is bringing a burning log over to the 
	skipper using only his hands. He is getting his 
	hands burnt and fumbles it and hands it to the 
	skipper who's hands are now burning as well. 
 
				SKIPPER
			Put it on the fire!

	He finally ends up tossing the log down on the 
	kindling.

				SKIPPER
			What did you do that for!?

				GILLIGAN
			It was hot!

				SKIPPER
			Of course it was hot!

	The skipper and Gilligan are standing around the 
	fire warming themselves.

				SKIPPER
			This is certainly better than that open 
			beach out there.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah.

				SKIPPER
			Well don't just stand there, bring some 
			wood for the fire.

	Gilligan turns to find some fire wood, but only 
	comes back with green palm fronds and pieces of a 
	green bush. He puts the wood on the fire which 
	immediately starts to produce large quantities of 
	white smoke that rises up.

CUT TO: EXT – BEACH – DAY

	Mary Ann, Ginger and the professor are standing on 
	the beach.

				MARY ANN
			Professor, Ginger oh, look, oh there's 
			smoke on the other side of the island!

CUT TO: SMOKE RISING FROM OVER HILL

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			Girls I'm afraid we may be in for some 
			trouble. There's a chance the Marubi may 
			have returned to this island. 

				MARY ANN
			Those head hunters!? Oh golly professor 
			what do we do!?

				GINGER
			The first thing we ought to do is hide 
			our heads!

				PROFESSOR
			I want you girls to gather up some of 
			these Conch shells and meet me at the 
			clearing!

				MARY ANN
			But but…

				PROFESSOR
			At the clearing! I'm going to warn the 
			Howell's about this!

	The professor, Ginger and Mary Ann walk off camera 
	as we…

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	The skipper and Gilligan are walking through he 
	jungle when the skipper happens upon tracks in the 
	sand.

CUT TO: SHOT OF FOOT PRINT IN THE SAND.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			Gilligan look!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan comes over to see what the skipper wants 
	and see the foot prints as well.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey that's pretty good skipper! How did 
			you make the other foot prints!?

				SKIPPER
			Those aren't mine!

				GILLIGAN
			Well they sure aren't mine, I don't have 
			that many feet!

				SKIPPER
			There are other people on this island.

				GILLIGAN
			Oh great lets go find 'em!

				SKIPPER
			WAIT!

				GILLIGAN
			Huh?

				SKIPPER
			Remember what the professor said about 
			the Marubi headhunters?

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah!

				SKIPPER
			Suppose they live on this island?

				GILLIGAN
			      (SLUMPS DOWN)
			Yeah.

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGEL CLEARING – DAY

	Mr. And Mrs. Howell are standing on a make shift 
	putting green. Mr. Howell is putting and the avocado 
	pit misses the hole.

				MR HOWELL
			Oh dash it all Lovey I've free putted 
			again!

				MRS HOWELL
			Well I think your doing very well dear, 
			considering your using a clam shell on a 
			bamboo stick for a putter.

				MR HOWELL
			Not to mention an avocado pit for a ball.
			Here, I'll…I'll try it again.

	Just as Mr. Howell is going to put the professor 
	yells out…

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			Mr. Howell!?

				MR HOWELL
			QUIET please!

	The professor runs on camera from behind the 
	Howell's.

				PROFESSOR
			But Mr. Howell!

				MRS HOWELL
				(QUIETLY)
			Shhhhhh professor! Mr. Howell is putting.

				PROFESSOR
			I know but I got important news!

				MR HOWELL
			Not while I'm putting.

				PROFESSOR
			Mr. Howell, I believe the Marubi may be 
			here.

				MR HOWELL
			I don't care who's here, they are not 
			playing through!

				MRS HOWELL
			Thurston, I believe the Marubi are those 
			nasty headhunters the professor told us 
			about.

				PROFESSOR
			I think it's advisable we prepare a 
			defense.

				MR HOWELL
			Well as I always say a good defense is a 
			strong offense. Wipe the buzzards out 
			before they can attack us!

				PROFESSOR
			Yes but how?

				MR HOWELL
			Simple! First we blow up their bridge!

				PROFESSOR
			Mr. Howell I don't even know if they have 
			a bridge.

				MR HOWELL
			Those crafty devils they've out smarted 
			us already. Alright stand back, quiet 
			please.

	Mr. Howell has gone back to putting as Mary Ann 
	approaches.

				MARY ANN
				 (O.S.)
			Professor, oh professor!

	Mary Ann and Ginger run on camera.

				MARY ANN
			We got the Conch shells!

				PROFESSOR
			Oh good! 

	The professor takes the Conch shell from Mary Ann 
	and inspects it.

				PROFESSOR
			Good! Now these shells will be our 
			warning system. And if you run into 
			danger just blow into them like this.

	The professor raises the Conch shell to his mouth 
	and blows. The shell lets out a loud howl which can 
	be heard for miles.

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	Gilligan and the skipper are still walking through 
	the jungle when they hear the Conch shell horn 
	sound.

				GILLIGAN
			What's that!!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The professor has issued the Conch shells to 
	everyone and has given them instruction on how to 
	use it.

				PROFESSOR
			Now lets all try it just to make sure.

	Ginger, Mary Ann, the professor and Mr. And Mrs. 
	Howell all start to blow into the Conch shells.  The 
	sound of all the shell together is very eerie and 
	ominous.

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	The skipper and Gilligan are listening to the howl 
	of the horns and getting frightened.

				SKIPPER
			Must be the wail of the Marubis!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh no!

				SKIPPER
			Oh yes! We better camouflage ourselves!

	The skipper and Gilligan are trying to camouflage 
	themselves by placing leaves and branches under 
	their hats and in their clothes. In the background 
	the wail of the Conch shell horns can still be 
	heard. The skipper is trying to shove a branch down 
	the back of Gilligan's shirt but Gilligan is 
	ticklish and is giggling. 

				SKIPPER
			Oh stop that Gilligan, this is no 
			laughing matter!

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – CAVE OPENING – DAY

	The professor has led the others to the mouth of a 
	small cave somewhere in the jungle growth.

				PROFESSOR
			Now this is the cave where I found the 
			Marubi arrowhead. Might be safe in there.

	Ginger looks inside the cave.

				GINGER
			My, looks dark in here!

				PROFESSOR
			It is! Pitch dark! It'll make a wonderful 
			hiding place. (Pause) 

	The professor looks at the outside of the cave and 
	ponders.

INSERT: SHOT OF ROCK FACE ABOVE THE CAVE ENTRANCE

				PROFESSOR
				  (O.S.)
			And with those rocks…

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			I think I can, rig a pretty interesting 
			trap for our Marubi friends.

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE - DAY

	We see that Gilligan is wearing a tree trunk while 
	the skipper is dressed as a bush. 

				SKIPPER
			Hold Still Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			I sure hope this island doesn't have any 
			Termites!

				SKIPPER
			At least we'll be safe like this so we 
			can scout around and see what's what.

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah.

	Gilligan is having trouble moving in his "tree" 
	costume.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper I think you made my roots too 
			long!

				SKIPPER
			Never mind! Just take short steps like 
			this.

	The skipper takes small steps and keeps moving 
	around in circles.

				SKIPPER
			How do I look?

				GILLIGAN
			Like a fat bush!

				SKIPPER
			When I want your opinion, I'll ask for 
			it!

				GILLIGAN
			You just asked for it.

				SKIPPER
			OH SHUT UP!

				GILLIGAN
			Shhhhhh!

				SKIPPER
			Remember now, if there's any danger just 
			stand still and you're a tree! 

	Suddenly a tropical bird lets out a screech and 
	scares both nearly to death. Gilligan takes off at a 
	frantic pass.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan come back here!

	CUT TO: EXT – CAVE OPENING – DAY

	The professor is finishing his trap as Ginger brings 
	more leaves and branches to conceal the vine.

				GINGER
			Here's some more.

				PROFESSOR
			Good! Start spreading these around but be 
			careful, it's all set. Now the vine is 
			the trigger. It goes over here, around 
			the tree stump, up here, over to here, 
			and is attached to these two small rocks.

				GINGER
			And if anyone tries to get into the cave…

				PROFESSOR
			The minute they touch that vine, it 
			creates a tension, out come these two 
			rocks and the WHOLE thing comes tumbling 
			down on them.

				GINGER
			That's a wonderful trap professor!

				PROFESSOR
			Be careful now. It's all set to go.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The skipper is searching for Gilligan after he ran 
	off scared.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Over here skipper!

	The skipper trips over a rock and falls over as he 
	moves towards Gilligan.

				GILLIGAN
			Watch the rock skipper!

				SKIPPER
			    (SARCASTICALLY)
			Thanks a lot Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Are you alright!?

				SKIPPER
			I'm fine. Just fine! (pause)
			I got to rest a second. Will you stop 
			going so fast!?

				GILLIGAN
			OK skipper.

				SKIPPER
			From now on we'll stick close together.
				(PANTING)
			Did you see anything? (Pause)
			Well?

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper?

				SKIPPER
			What.

				GILLIGAN
			I've been attacked!

				SKIPPER
			Attacked!?

				GILLIGAN
				 (O.S.)
			Yeah.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN IN HIS TREE. NEAR HIS HEAD IS 
A WOODPECKER.

				GILLIGAN
			By a woodpecker.

	The woodpecker is pecking away at the side of 
	Gilligan's head.

				GILLIGAN
			Shooo!  Shooo!

	The woodpecker just keeps on pecking. Finally 
	Gilligan has had enough.

				GILLIGAN
			HEY!

	The woodpecker stops.

				GILLIGAN
			Are you going to keep peckin my head?

	The woodpecker responds by nodding up and down as if 
	to say yes. It then goes back to pecking Gilligan's 
	head. Gilligan gives up.

CUT TO EXT – SAME JUNGLE AREA – DAY

	The professor and the girls are making their way 
	through the jungle when suddenly the professor spies 
	something.

				PROFESSOR
			Wait!

				GINGER
			What?

				PROFESSOR
			That tree over there moved!

	The professor raises his bow and lets loose an 
	arrow.

QUICK PAN TO: GILLIGAN BEING HIT IN THE TREE TRUNK BY THE ARROW.

	Gilligan's arms extend straight out when he's hit 
	with the arrow. He and the skipper take off through 
	the jungle.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				GINGER
			The tree ran away! 

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	The skipper in his bush and Gilligan in his tree run 
	off into t he jungle.

				GINGER
				(O.S.)
			And there goes a fat bush!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				PROFESSOR
			It IS the Marubi! They often disguise 
			themselves. We better warn the others! 

	The professor starts blowing his Conch horn to warn 
	the others he's encountered the Marubi.

CUT TO: EXT – JUNGLE – DAY

	Gilligan and the skipper hear the wailing horn and 
	react.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper! There gonna attack any minute! 
			I'm getting out of this tree!

				SKIPPER
			Now is no time to panic Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			It's as good a time as any!

	THE Conch shell horn can still be heard as we…

FADE TO: EXT – CAVE AREA - DAY

	The skipper and Gilligan have removed their 
	camouflage outfits and are making their way through 
	he jungle. The skipper stops as they happen upon the 
	cave the professor found earlier. Gilligan runs into 
	the back of him.

				SKIPPER
			Will you watch where your going!


				GILLIGAN
			What did you stop for skipper?

				SKIPPER
			Look Gilligan a cave. We can hide in the 
			cave! (PAUSE)
			Well what are you waiting for?

	Gilligan won't go in the cave.

				GILLIGAN
			The skipper always leads his crew.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan get in the cave!

				GILLIGAN
			Wait, wait, I got a great idea. (pause)
			Why don't we fix a trap with these rocks. 
			Fix'em so they fall down on the Muribi, 
			an…and we can…we can use a vine, look 
			just like this one here see? Good idea?

				SKIPPER
			What a ridiculous scheme. Do you really 
			think that you can take vine, run it 
			along the ground here, over this tree 
			stump, up along side the cave, and tie it 
			into these rocks so that all these rocks 
			fall down.

	It finally dawns on the skipper that what he just 
	said is actually a trap and does a double take.

				SKIPPER
			It IS a trap! Must have been set by the 
			Marubi! Gilligan now I know we'll be safe 
			in that cave. When the Marubi come back, 
			see that their trap isn't sprung, they'll 
			go away!

	The skipper and Gilligan enter the cave with 
	Gilligan going first.

				SKIPPER
			Watch the vine! 

	They enter the cave and are now out of sight.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			What are you stopping for?

				GILLIGAN
				(O.S.)
			Skipper…

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			Never mind I'll go ahead!

	Just then we hear a crunch.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			Ooooomf!

				GILLIGAN
				(O.S.)
			There's a low rock there!

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			Thanks a lot Gilligan! (pause)
			Cut that out!

				GILLIGAN
				(O.S.)
			Yes sir. 

				SKIPPER
			Quit it!!

				GILLIGAN
			Aye, aye!

	And again we hear a head splitting crunch.

				SKIPPER
			Oooomf!

				GILLIGAN
			Another one.

CUT TO: SAME AREA NEW VIEW POINT

	Just then the professor, Mary Ann, Ginger and Mr. 
	and Mrs. Howell run on camera near the cave 
	entrance. The professor is directing the others into 
	the cave.

				PROFESSOR
			Hurry!

				GINGER
			Here we go!

				PROFESSOR
			Now be careful of this vine. It's the 
			trap I told you about. Careful.
			Right into the cave. You'll be perfectly 
			safe in there. 

				MR HOWELL
			Good heavens.

	The professor helps the others enter the cave one by 
	one until all are out of sight. Suddenly there is an 
	outburst of yelling, screaming and Conch shell horn 
	sounds. It's apparent that Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Mary 
	Ann, Ginger and the professor have met up with 
	Gilligan and the skipper. Each of them believes they 
	have met with the savage Marubi and are fighting 
	back. This continues for quite some time. The 
	skipper is ejected from the cave as the fighting 
	goes on. As he reenters the cave he passes Mr. 
	Howell who is being ejected also. Mr. Howell 
	reenters the cave and then Gilligan and the 
	professor are ejected from the cave at the same 
	time. The professor starts back in when Gilligan 
	notices him.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey don't go in there mister, there's 
			Marubi in there!

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Professor, what are you doing on this 
			island!?

				PROFESSOR
			Well we've always been on this island!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, than that must be us in there! I 
			better go tell'em!

				PROFESSOR
			Be careful of that vine! It's a trap!

				GILLIGAN
			I know!

	Gilligan goes back in the cave. There is more 
	yelling and horn blowing. Gilligan gets ejected from 
	the cave once again. 

				GILLIGAN
			They threw me out!

				PROFESSOR
			I'll tell'em you stay here!

	The professor is next to try to stop the fighting. 
	He starts to enter the cave.

				GILLIGAN
			Be careful of the vine it's a trap!

	The professor comes back out of the cave.

				PROFESSOR
			I know!

	He goes back in. After a few more moments of 
	fighting it gets quiet.

			PROFESSOR
			  (O.S)
			All clear Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Oh boy it's good to be home again!

	Gilligan then starts running back into the cave but 
	trips on the vine in the process. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF CAVE ENTRANCE AS VINES PULLS THE TWO 
ROCKS OUT SETTING OFF THE TRAP

CUT TO: CLOSE UP CAVE ENTRANCE

	The trap works as rocks, dirt and debris fall down in 
	front of the entrance with a loud rumbling sound. All we 
	see at the end is a huge cloud of white dust as we…


								FADE OUT







				EPILOG
FADE IN

SAME SHOT AS FADE OUT

	We see the cave entrance piled high with small 
	rocks. There is only a small opening at the top, and 
	the skipper has already squeezed through. The 
	professor is starting to emerge from the opening as 
	the skipper helps him. 

				SKIPPER
			Let me give you a hand.
			Oh, that Gilligan! It's all his fault!

				PROFESSOR
			I, warned him about that vine!

	Both are now free of the cave as they standby to 
	assist the others from the cave. Mary Ann is the 
	next to emerge.

				SKIPPER
			Watch yourself now Mary Ann.
			Don't scrape your back.
			
				PROFESSOR
			Careful, careful.
			Are you all right?

				MARY ANN
			I think so.

				SKIPPER
			Watch your ankles.

	Mary Ann has emerged and is looking rather beaten. 
	Ginger is next to be helped from the cave.

				PROFESSOR
			Are you hurt?

				SKIPPER
			Careful Ginger.

				GINGER
			No, I'm all right.

	Ginger is inspecting her torn dress.

				GINGER
			But look at my dress!
			It's the only dress I have.
			It's ruined!

	Mrs. Howells parasol starts to emerge from the cave.

				SKIPPER
			Oh that Gilligan! Careful Mrs. Howell.

				RS HOWELL
			Thank you captain.

				PROFESSOR
			Are you well?

				MRS HOWELL
			Not very.

				PROFESSOR
			Careful.

				SKIPPER
			Watch yourself now.

	Mr. Howell is next to come through the opening and 
	is complaining the whole time.

				MR HOWELL
			Tremendous…I thought we had been…Ohhhh!

				SKIPPER
			Careful Mr. Howell

				MR HOWELL
			Reminds me of the back nine…

				PROFESSOR
			      (TO SKIPPER)
			Careful with him.

				SKIPPER
			Watch your step…that's it.
			Well where's Gilligan!

	Gilligan knows he's in trouble and doesn't want to 
	come out.

				SKIPPER
			I'm gonna count to three, if you don't 
			come out, I'm gonna come in and getcha!

			One!

			Two!

			THREE!

	Just as the skipper says three, a hideous face 
	appears in the opening. It's not Gilligan, but the 
	masked face of a Marubi. The masked face lets out a 
	horrible roar. Every one starts to scream and run 
	into the jungle. The Marubi, complete with grass 
	skirt, necklace and menacing mask, makes it's way 
	out of the cave and stands in the clearing waving 
	his arms menacingly.

CUT TO: SAME AREA – ANGLE ON SKIPPER

	The skipper, being the last to run stops and turns 
	around to see the Marubi. The Marubi lets out one 
	last hideous Roar. The skipper has now been 
	frightened in to running away down the path. 

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT – CLOSE UP OF MARUBI

	The Marubi stand full face before the camera when he 
	suddenly lifts his mask to reveal it's only Gilligan 
	dressed as a Marubi.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper gone. Gilligan one smart Marubi!

	Gilligan, dressed as a Marubi is left standing near 
	the cave smiling smugly to himself as his mask falls 
	back down into place. He looks back and forth as we…
