CUT TO:  EXT - JUNGLE - DAY 

	Gilligan is seen picking a banana from a bunch of 
	bananas hanging near a jungle path. He's humming to 
	himself while peeling the banana when out of nowhere 
	he hears a strange almost chimpanzee like sreech yet
	not entirely un-human. Gilligan freezes and the banana 
	falls. 

				GILLIGAN
			Who's there!?
			Maybe it's a man eating lion or, hungry 
			tiger. But lions and tigers aren't on 
			deserted islands. Are you!?

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

	We see a small boy peering from around a 
	tree behind him.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	A small boy of about eight years old, is observing
	Gilligan from the nearby tree.  He puts his hand to his 
	mouth and makes repeated kissing sounds.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan looks over at the sound.

				GILLIGAN
			It's a boy! 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY
	
	The jungle boy starts to climb the tree he's near.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			It's a jungle boy!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT

	Gilligan watches as the jungle boy climbs the tree. 

				GILLIGAN
			Wait no wait kid wait wait take it easy 
			now, wait wait don't go away please 
			please.

	The jungle boy lets out the same strange chimpanzee 
	like vocalization and swings from the tree on a vine 
	and off camera. 

				GILLIGAN
			Wait for me kid! Wait for me!

	Gilligan climbs a tree also and grabs another vine. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Hey wait for me! Don't go away kid! Here 
			I come kid!

	Gilligan tries to imitate the boy's chimpanzee screech. 
	He grabs a vine and leaps. He swings all right, but in 
	the opposite direction the boy went in.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN SWINGING FROM VINE

	Gilligan slowly swings out and then back to the tree 
	where he comes to rest with a disappointed look as we...

PULL BACK TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

	The skipper is lying on a lounge chair as the 
	professor peddles a bamboo and palm frond fan.

				SKIPPER
			Ahhhhhh...professor that works great! Just 
			like a regular fan!

				PROFESSOR
			Better! You don't get a bill from the 
			electric company every month.

				SKIPPER
			Yeah! Why don't you get it patented!?

				PROFESSOR
				(JOKINGLY)
			Well I wrote to Washington, but I don't 
			think the bottle ever got there.

	Gilligan comes running on camera in an agitated state.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper! Skipper skipper! You should have 
			seen him! Swinging from tree to tree!

				SKIPPER
			Who Gilligan, who!?

				GILLIGAN
			A boy, a jungle boy! One minute he was 
			there! The next he was gone! Then he was 
			back again!!

				SKIPPER
			Wa...well I'm glad he got back, I...I was 
			beginning to miss him!

				GILLIGAN
			There's a boy out there, honest skipper!

ZOOM IN: CLOSE SHOT OF PROFESSOR, SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper starts his sarcasm by pointing to 
	himself, then the professor.

				SKIPPER
			Oh Gilligan! Me Tarzan, you Jane...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	He points at Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			...him boy!

				GILLIGAN
			Awe no, the boy's small, he's about this 
			tall kind of hard to tell he's always 
			swinging through the trees.

				SKIPPER
				(STERNLY)
			Gilligan once and for all I've had it I 
			have HAD IT!


CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Had what?


CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER, GILLIGAN AND PROFESSOR

				SKIPPER
			You and your fantastic stories!

				PROFESSOR
			Are you sure it wasn't a monkey Gilligan?

				GILLIGAN
			No no a monkey is short and real short 
			and has hair all over it and kind a goes 
			Oooha...oooha...(he continues)

	Gilligan starts sounding like an ape, complete with 
	body scratching and facial expressions.

				SKIPPER
			Well Gilligan I've never seen you look so 
			natural!

				PROFESSOR
			Now we've searched this island and there 
			is nobody else here.

				GILLIGAN
			He's out there, I can prove it just 
			follow me!

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan I do not believe you. But this 
			time I gonna make YOU admit you don't 
			believe you, EITHER!

				GILLIGAN
			Huh?

FLIP TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

	The skipper and Gilligan are in the jungle 
	looking for the jungle boy.

				GILLIGAN
			This is where I found him. I think he 
			lives in that tree!

				SKIPPER
			    (SARCASTICALLY)
			Well Gilligan, why don't we knock on the 
			tree and see if he's home.

				GILLIGAN
			Ah...skipper I saw him honest ah...he was 
			right on this very spot a little while 
			ago!

				SKIPPER
			Well obviously he's not here now 
			Gilligan, so lets go back.

				GILLIGAN
			Wait a minute skipper wait a minute 
			honestly I saw him wait a minute wait a 
			minute!

	Gilligan calls out.

				GILLIGAN
			Boy! Oh boy! 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY IN TREE

	The jungle boy is watching them from the tree. 
	Gilligan spots the boy.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT
	
				GILLIGAN
			There he is!

	The skipper looks up and discovers...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP BIRD IN A TREE

	The bird is making all sorts of bird sounds.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, you didn't tell me that he had 
			feathers!

				GILLIGAN
			Honest I just saw him!

	Gilligan looks up into the jungle canopy searching 
	for the jungle boy.

				GILLIGAN
			Boy! Oh boy!
			I hear him I hear him. I hear him.

	Gilligan looks up and follows the sound with his 
	eyes.

				GILLIGAN
			He's back in the tree!

	As Gilligan looks up we...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper takes off his hat, leans back and looks 
	up. Just then an egg drops down from above and hits 
	him smack on his face. The skipper is holding back 
	his anger.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan turns his back to the skipper and looks 
	sheepish.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan that wasn't even a boy BIRD!

FLIP TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY - LATER

	The jungle boy is swinging through the jungle and 
	lands behind Gilligan who is seen sitting on a 
	dead log. The jungle boy approaches from behind 
	and starts making the same kissing sounds he made 
	earlier. 

				GILLIGAN
			Don't do that, I know you're not there!

	The jungle boy walks towards Gilligan and meets him 
	face to face. Gilligan immediately gets up and grabs 
	him by the arm.

				GILLIGAN
			Well where were you when I needed you!?
			Skipper!

				JUNGLE BOY
			Skipper!
	
	The jungle smiles as he mimics.

				GILLIGAN
			Any body!

				JUNGLE BOY
			Any body!

	Gilligan gives the jungle boy a stern look.

				GILLIGAN
			Don't do that.

	The jungle boy thinks it's funny.

				JUNGLE BOY
			Don't do that.

				GILLIGAN
			What do you know, little sir echo.

	The jungle boy is holding a coconut and signals 
	Gilligan to go play with him.

				GILLIGAN
			Huh?

			N...no look I don't have time to play 
			catch. Look, look I got to take you back 
			to camp. Come, back, with, me, to, camp.

	The jungle boy tosses the coconut to Gilligan who 
	catches it. Gilligan tosses the coconut back as we...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy catches the coconut Gilligan tossed. 
	He tosses the coconut again.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan catches the coconut while he is still 
	trying to get through to the jungle boy. 

			GILLIGAN
			Do you understand?

	No response from the boy.

				GILLIGAN
			No you don't understand. Li...listen, you 
			know, come, back...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	Jungle boy just smiles.

				GILLIGAN
				  (O.S.)
			...no we're not going to get any place this 
			way.

	The jungle boy signals Gilligan to follow him.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			You want to play follow the leader?

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GILLIGAN AND JUNGLE BOY

				GILLIGAN
			OK, five minutes, and then I got to take 
			you back to camp, OK?

	Gilligan and the Jungle boy start a round of follow 
	the leader through the jungle.

FLIP TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY - LATER

PAN RIGHT WITH JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy goes swing past the camera as we cut 
	to...

CUT TO: SAME LOCATION

PAN RIGHT WITH GILLIGAN ONTO GROUND

	Gilligan is seen swinging on another vine.

				GILLIGAN
			Hey kid wait, for me! Aheeah! Ohhh!

	Gilligan swings but is too low on the vine and ends 
	up skidding along the ground on his bottom.

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE CLEARING - DAY

	Gilligan and the jungle boy end up in a clearing 
	near a raised mound of dirt. In the center of the 
	mound is a rock. We can hear the sound of escaping 
	gas as he approaches.

				GILLIGAN
			Watch it look out! 
			What's that!?

	The jungle boy takes the rock off the mound and 
	takes a coconut and places it over the hole. The 
	coconut rises gently into the air and floats.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND COCONUT 

	We see Gilligan staring in amazement at the coconut 
	as it floats in the air. He places his hand over the 
	hole emitting the gas and the coconut goes down.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	He watches Gilligan having fun with the coconut.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan takes the coconut from the air and hands it 
	to the jungle boy.

CUT TO: JUNGLE BOY TAKING COCONUT

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	He leans over to look in hole. In doing so, his hat 
	lifts into the air on the rising column of gas.

CUT TO: CLOSE OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy laughs in amusement.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is looking up in the air at his hat.  He 
	tries to reach up and get his hat, but it's too 
	high. 

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

	Gilligan leans over the hole with his arms, and 
	blocks the gas flow.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF HAT

	The hat is coming down as Gilligan blocks the gas 
	flow. 

PAN DOWN WITH HAT TO GILLIGAN

	Gilligan grabs his hat and puts it back on.

				GILLIGAN
			Wait till the skipper sees this! And, 
			wait till he sees you!

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF GILLIGAN AND JUNGLE BOY

				GILLIGAN
			Give me the rock and I'll cap it! The 
			rock! 

	The jungle boy understands after Gilligan points and 
	hands him the rock.

				GILLIGAN
			Thanks. Than...Uuumpf!

	The rock weighs more than Gilligan thought and 
	nearly drops it. He caps the mound with the rock. 

				GILLIGAN
			All right come on let's go back to camp.

	The boy doesn't respond.

				GILLIGAN
			You know, follow the leader? Remember? 
			Follow the leader? Remember? This way, 
			come on?

	Gilligan is bent over and hopping like in leapfrog. 
	As he does so, the jungle boy understands and begins 
	laughing at Gilligan's antics. Both he and Gilligan 
	go hopping off into the jungle as we...

FLIP TO: EXT - HUT CLEARING - DAY - WIDE SHOT

	We see the skipper riding the bike unit that's 
	hooked to the washing machine. Mary Ann is standing 
	by to handle the load of wash. The skipper is 
	getting impatient waiting for the laundry to be 
	through.

				SKIPPER
			How much longer Mary Ann!?

				MARY ANN
			We're almost to the rinse cycle skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Sometimes I think the professor invents 
			too many things!

	Mr. Howell is seen walking on camera from behind one 
	of the huts. He sees the skipper riding the bike and 
	launches himself into song.

				MR HOWELL
				(SINGING)
			Ha..ho! This is the way we wash our 
			clothes, wash our clothes. Washer our 
			clothes. This is the way we wash our 
			clothes...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				MR HOWELL
				 (O.S.)
 			...so early in the morning!

				SKIPPER
			Mr. Howell, how would you like it if I 
			put YOU...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL AND MARY ANN

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			...in the drivers seat!?

				MR HOWELL
			Sir, are you suggesting that I stoop to 
			manual labor!?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				SKIPPER
			Congratulations! You got it right the 
			first time!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

				MR HOWELL
			Would you ask a man with a chronic 
			sacroiliac and a strangulated disk to do 
			a thing like that!?

				SKIPPER
			You got all those thing!?

				MR HOWELL
			Don't evade the issue.

CUT TO: EXT - JUNGLE - DAY

	Gilligan is seen bent over and hopping through the 
	jungle.

	He's still hopping along.

CUT TO: EXT - HUT CLEARING - DAY

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MR HOWELL AND MARY ANN

	The group is watching Gilligan's antic and wonder 
	what he's doing. Gilligan hops on camera and stops 
	in front of them. Gilligan is still bent over.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			All right Gilligan!

				GILLIGAN
			Made it!

				SKIPPER
			Come on Frank Bucks stand up straight!

				GILLIGAN
			You got to help be skipper.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, MR HOWELL AND MARY ANN

				MR HOWELL
			It's no use Gilligan. The skipper is an 
			enemy of medical science.

	The skipper gets off the bike and uses his knee in 
	Gilligan's back to help straighten him up.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			His back is fine. It's his head I'm 
			worried about. Still having those 
			hallucinations?

				GILLIGAN
			Nope! Found the jungle boy, found a kind 
			of gas that floats things and we played 
			around for a while and we came back.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL AND MARY ANN

				MR HOWELL
			A jungle boy?

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

				GILLIGAN
			Ah huh. Like the one over there.

	Gilligan points over to where the Jungle boy is 
	waiting. The skipper has his back to the boy so he 
	can't see him. He also doesn't even turn around to 
	look.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy just watches from a distance.

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			Gilligan if you say jungle boy once more 
			I'll...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL AND MARY ANN

				MR HOWELL
			A jungle boy!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			He said I didn't!

			a jungle boy!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

			see it too.

	The skipper turns around.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	The skipper spots the jungle boy and reacts.

				SKIPPER
			I see it! Come on Gilligan lets grab him!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP OVER JUNGLE BOY

				GILLIGAN
			No skipper don't! 

				SKIPPER
			Why not!?

				GILLIGAN
			Because he swings like a monkey swims 
			like a fish and runs like a deer and I 
			don't want to go through that again!

				MR HOWELL
			Well if there's one attribute I do have 
			and that is charm. I mean, children 
			simply adore me. They...they think of me as 
			a rich uncle you see yes..eh..eh come here 
			jungle boy!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

				MR HOWELL
				 (O.S.)
			Uncle Thurston Howell the third would 
			like to leave you a little something in 
			his will. He..he..he..

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP OVER JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy in the fore ground as he observes the group 
	near the hut. Mr. Howell starts to approach the jungle boy 
	with his "charm". The jungle boy doesn't respond.

				MR HOWELL
				(YELLING)
			Come here boy and that's an order!! 
			Heal!!

	The jungle boy doesn't react to the yelling Mr. 
	Howell as Mary Ann comes to his rescue.
		
				MARY ANN
			Mr. Howell!! That wouldn't even work on a 
			cobra!

				MR HOWELL
			Cobras indeed, the boy obviously has gone 
			to the wrong school!

	Mary Ann slowly walks towards the jungle boy.

				MARY ANN
			Hi. Come on honey. Nobody's gonna hurt 
			ya.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy smiles at Mary Ann.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP OVER JUNGLE BOY 

	Mary Ann holds out her hand.

	The jungle boy, accepts Mary Ann's invitation and 
	starts walking towards her.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP OVER JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy reaches out and plays with one of 
	Mary Ann's pigtails.

				MR HOWELL
			I say she's charmed the little nipper!

				GILLIGAN
			How'd you do that Mary Ann?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY AND MARY ANN

				MARY ANN
			When fishing for boys the proper bait is 
			girls.

PULL BACK TO MEDIUM SHOT

	Mr. Howell, the skipper and Gilligan walk over to 
	Mary Ann and the jungle boy

				SKIPPER
			Good work Mary Ann. Now, maybe he can 
			tell us something that'll help us get off 
			the island. How long have YOU...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY AND MARY ANN

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			...been here, how close are we to Hawaii 
			and how can we get off this island!?

				JUNGLE BOY

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL, SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				MR HOWELL
			Ah...eh...No...no you don't seem to understand. 
			Now…now you tell your uncle Thurston, how 
			to get off this ridiculous island, and 
			when we get back I'll give you a 
			substantial reward, like, matched 
			luggage.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY AND MARY ANN

				JUNGLE BOY
			Lug...ige?

				MARY ANN
			I don't think he understands what you're 
			saying.

				JUNGLE BOY
			Say..ing.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL, SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			But maybe he has some information that'll 
			help us get off the island! Now we've got 
			o all try and communicate with him.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	The men start to gather around the jungle boy. 
	They try to talking at the same time. Mr. Howell has taken 
	out some money and is waving it around. Mary Ann 
	physically holds back the skipper as he approaches.

(Transcribers note: All three men talk over each other and 
the transcription is broken down singularly)

				MR HOWELL
			This is under the counter, I won't 
			declare it. Cash. Cash.

	Mrs. Howell, Mary Ann and Ginger are all seated in 
	front of the jungle boy.

				MARY ANN
			No, let me try it huh?

				GINGER
			It's a cinch I'm not doing any good.

	Mary Ann tries to establish his name by a form of 
	reference. She points to herself.

			Well Gilligan I don't understand this...

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

				SKIPPER
			...but I've got to admit, you were right!

				GILLIGAN
			It's really something huh!?

				PROFESSOR
			It appears to be both odorless and 
			colorless.

				GILLIGAN
			Not only that, you can't see it or smell 
			it.

				PROFESSOR
			Isn't that what I just said?

	Gilligan keeps putting his hand over the hole 
	making his hat go up and down.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	He's still watching and smiling.

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			Oh never mind professor, young Tom Edison

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GROUP

				PROFESSOR
			Because of its buoyant qualities, I would

			Or a combination of both gases and or 
			their properties.

				GILLIGAN
			I agree completely.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				SKIPPER
			Oh what do you mean you agree 
			completely!? You didn't even understand 
			what he said!

				GILLIGAN
			Right! So that's why I should agree!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	Mr. Howell rushes on camera from out of the 
	jungle.

				SKIPPER
			Don't they use Helium to blow up 
			dirigibles and balloons and all that s...

				PROFESSOR
			Yes.

				MR HOWELL
			Wait a minute! Did I hear someone say 
			there's Helium on this island!?

				PROFESSOR
			Helium or Hydrogen.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, MR HOWELL AND SKIPPER

				MR HOWELL
			Oh what an opportunity! I can see it now 
			I'll form a new company. Howell's Helium 
			and Hydrogen corporation.

				PROFESSOR
			Please Mr. Howell we've got important 
			problems to solve!

				MR HOWELL
			Oh what's more important than money!? Oh 
			I can see it now! I'll put it up in 
			fifths, quarts, magnums! And before I'm 
			through, I'll have the whole country

	Everyone laughs at Mr. Howell's scheme.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is floating a coconut over the mound again.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy is watching and smiling.

				PROFESSOR
				  (O.S.)
			You know what we're gonna do? 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, MR HOWELL AND SKIPPER

				PROFESSOR
			We're gonna use that gas to inflate a

				MR HOWELL
			Professor! There's a place for a man like

				SKIPPER
			I'll take my hat off to ya!

FADE IN 

EXT - HUT CLEARING - DAY

CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN ON BIKE UNIT

	We see Mary Ann is peddling away on the bike unit,

				MARY ANN
			The professor's a genius. Just a few 
			hours ago this contraption was a washing 
			machine.

PAN RIGHT TO GINGER

	Ginger is sitting at a crude sewing machine as she 
	sews raincoats together.

				GINGER
			And now it's a sewing machine! I hope it 
			works.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MARY ANN

				MARY ANN
			Sure it will! Soon as we sew all those

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	He's just watching the girls from the bushes.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - HUE EXTERIOR - DAY

	Gilligan is seen walking from around a hut wearing 
	what appears to be a bulky raincoat. 

				GILLIGAN
			Well, here I am! Last load!

PULL BACK WITH GILLIGAN TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

				MARY ANN
			Where are the other raincoats?

	Gilligan starts removing the outer raincoat to 
	reveal many more underneath. 

				GILLIGAN
			Ah, they're underneath, It was easier to 
			carry.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	He's still watching from the jungle's edge.

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan is down to his last raincoat and it fits 
	like a glove.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER

				GINGER
			Whose raincoat is that?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Oh it's mine. It shrunk during the rain.

FLIP TO: EXT - BALLOON CLEARING - DAY

CLOSE UP OF INFLATED RAINCOAT BALLOON

	We see a portion of the balloon made from raincoats. 
	The arms of the raincoats are inflated and sticking 
	out all over. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy is watching again from the bushes.

CUT TO: HIGH ANGLE - MEDIUM SHOT OF PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Ah, she's holding the Helium very well. I 
			think this is going to work out better 
			than I expected.

PULL BACK TO WIDE SHOT - GROUP

				GILLIGAN
			Looks like a trench coat for an octopus.

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan you make sure those lines are 
			secure. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			I don't want it to float away before 
			she's, ready.

	The skipper is working on the lower end of a 
	securing line that holds the balloon down.

				SKIPPER
			All right Gilligan make the other end of 
			this line secure.

				GILLIGAN
			Yes sir.

	Gilligan takes the other end of the skipper's line 
	and tries to tie it to the balloon's. He's having 
	difficulty getting enough line to do the job. He tugs on 
	the rope and it pulls out of the skipper's hand, leaving 
	him with nothing.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, may I have MY end of the line?

	The skipper yanks the cord out of Gilligan's hand 
	spinning him around in the process. Gilligan looks 
	confused, grabs the longest portion of the rope and 
	shows the skipper.

				GILLIGAN
			You got the short end. You should have 
			the long end like me!

				SKIPPER
			What, are you some kind of a knot or 
			something!

	The skipper tugs on the rope again.

				SKIPPER
			Well give me some line!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BAMBOO STAKE 

	The skipper loops his end around the stake and is 
	holding it in place with his fingers.

				SKIPPER
				(O.S.)
			All right Gilligan, secure the line.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	Gilligan goes back to work and gives the line a 
	strong tug to secure it and ends up catching the 
	skippers fingers between the rope and stake.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Ah Mr. Howell! How you doing with the

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF MR HOWELL

	Mr. Howell is constructing the basket that will be 
	slung beneath the balloon.

				MR HOWELL
			Well if I had known the ballast would be 
			this heavy, I wouldn't have volunteered 
			for the job!  A...a professor,...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR

				MR HOWELL
				(O.S.)
			...skipper come here a moment. I...I have a 
			brilliant idea!

	The professor signals the skipper to follow and 
	leaves what he's doing and heads over to where Mr. 
	Howell is building the basket.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is trying to secure more ropes and is 
	having difficulty.

				SKIPPER
			Well get around the other side where you 
			can see what you're doing!

			Aye, aye sir.

	The skipper leaves Gilligan to talk with Mr. Howell. 
	
CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF MR HOWELL

PULL BACK TO MEDIUM SHOT OF MR HOWELL, SKIPPER AND 
PROFESSOR

				MR HOWELL
			Why don't we tie the provisions on you 
			see in...instead of the ballast? That way 
			we'll be killing two birds with one rope!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND BALLOON

	Gilligan is attempting to secure a rope, while he's 
	under the balloons lower opening. His hat 
	immediately floats off his head and inside the 
	balloon. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	The jungle boy just watches with curiosity. 

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan has climbed on top of the mound and is

	showing. He begins to rise up into the balloon and 
	out of sight.

	We see Gilligan floating in the balloon as he tries 
	to catch his hat. The hat keeps floating out of

			Speaking of minds, where is Gilligan?

	The skipper looks over towards the balloon.

	The professor puts the rock over the mounds opening. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN INSIDE BALLOON

	Gilligan is still floating as he grabs his hat.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT - LOWER EXTERIOR OF BALLOON

	The skipper and professor are reaching up inside the

			A little to the left!

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

	Gilligan is getting tangled in all the ropes as the 
	skipper and professor try to free him.

				SKIPPER
			Goodness sakes Gilligan! How do you do 
			these things!

	The skipper and professor are trying to holding him up.

				SKIPPER
			Now lets put him on that rock over there.

PAN RIGHT WITH PROFESSOR, SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN TO ROCK

	They help Gilligan stagger over to the rock and sit 
	him down.

				SKIPPER
			      (EXHAUSTED)
			Now stay right there, and stay out of

PAN LEFT WITH SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR 

	The skipper and professor walk off camera. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	Gilligan is still seated on a large rock when he 
	slips off and slides towards the ground. Before he 
	gets to the ground he starts to rise into the air 
	with a surprised look on his face.

CUT TO: NEW ANGLE

	Gilligan starts to float sky ward as...

	He's still floating and having a good time.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper looks over at Gilligan and does a double 
	take.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR HOWELL

	Mr. Howell has a confused and worried look on his

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			Gilligan will you come down here we've 
			got a lot of work to do!

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER, PROFESSOR AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper and professor each grab Gilligan by the 
	legs and pull him down. The skipper and professor 
	think it's over and let go.

				GILLIGAN
		I'm going back up again!

	The skipper and professor hold him down and are 
	getting frustrated.

				PROFESSOR
			Only one thing I can think of. That's 
			artificial respiration, just squeeze the 
			Helium out of him.

	The skipper gives Gilligan a bear hug from behind.

				SKIPPER
			You mean like this!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

	The skipper squeezes Gilligan who lets out a 
	hurricane like sound of wind. The skipper lets go 
	and Gilligan falls to the ground.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN ON GROUND

	Gilligan looks winded.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

				SKIPPER
			Are you all right little buddy!?

FLIP TO: EXT - BALLOON CLEARING - DAY

CLOSE UP OF BALLOON'S SIDE WITH INFLATED ARMS

	As we pan down the side of the balloon, we can hear 
	the men arguing about who will be the balloon's 
	pilot.

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			I still say I'm the one who goes in the 
			balloon!

				Professor
				 (O.S.)
			And I thought we agreed to use logic!

				SKIPPER
				 (O.S.)
			But that IS logic! It's logical for the 
			captain to go!

				MR HOWELL
				 (O.S.)
			Well I'M the riches man here and I have 
			something to say! Believe me!

PAN DOWN TO BALLOON'S BASKET

	All four men are standing in the balloon's basket as

			Well it's the best kind of logic, money!

				SKIPPER

				GILLIGAN
			Now here we go again! It's a cinch you

				SKIPPER
			Well I know navigation!

				SKIPPER
			Exactly!

				MR HOWELL
			Well exactly, then count me out!

				PROFESSOR
			All right skipper, then it's between you

				GILLIGAN
			Why not draw straws!?

				SKIPPER
			Oh of all the stupid ideas.

				MR HOWELL
			Roger! That's Air Force talk, wild blue

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh, roger!

				PROFESSOR
			Now I'll control the main guide line. 
			That'll get the balloon clear of the

				MR HOWELL
			If you land in London,...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

				MR HOWELL

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER

	The skipper has look of surprise on his face.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

				SKIPPER
			I guess it's still too heavy professor 
			I'll throw off a little ballast.

	The skipper throws out a few gourds used as ballast 
	and the balloon and basket starts moving upwards. 
	The castaways are looking up at the balloon as it 
	moves skyward and yell out their farewells.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, MR AND MRS HOWELL

				PROFESSOR
			Good luck skipper!

			Good-bye!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF BALLOON'S SIDE WITH INFLATED ARMS

PAN DOWN BALLOON'S SIDE TO SKIPPER

	Although the balloon is moving upward, the skipper 
	does not. The bottom of the basket has broken under 
	the skippers weight and the skipper is desperately 
	hanging on to the basket to keep the balloon from 
	floating off.

				SKIPPER
			Pull the balloon back down!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	Everyone, but the Howell's grab for the balloon and

FLIP TO: EXT - HUT CLEARING - NIGHT 

CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY IN BG 

				PROFESSOR
			Our first experiment was perfect. Except 
			of course for one minor detail.

PULL BACK TO PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY AND MR HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			It failed.

				PROFESSOR
			I know. But that's just because the cargo 
			was over weight.

PULL BACK TO WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	All the castaways are gathered near the hut as the 
	professor continues the discussion. Gilligan and the 
	jungle boy are shooting spit wads at each other as the 
	discussion continues.

				GILLIGAN
			That's you skipper.

				SKIPPER
			Quiet Gilligan, the professor's trying to 
			explain something to us.

				MARY ANN
			Go ahead professor.

				PROFESSOR
			So the weight problem eliminated, 
			everything else is worked out 
			scientifically. Now I've computed the 
			cross Pacific air currents, the rotation 
			of the Earth, our latitude and 
			longitude,...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY IN BG

				PROFESSOR
			...and the jet stream which goes directly 
			to Hawaii.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			He wore out two whole pencils!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY IN BG

				PROFESSOR
			Now the balloon only has to rise to a 
			height of three hundred...

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

	He shoots another spit wad.

			      (CONTINUED)
				(O.S.)
			...feet to catch the prevailing air 
			currents.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY IN BG

				PROFESSOR
			Which means it can twenty pounds of 
			provisions, or ninety pounds of human 
			cargo with complete safety.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			Ninety pounds?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF JUNGLE BOY

	He shoots back at Gilligan.


CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER AND MARY ANN

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY IN BG

				PROFESSOR
			Oh I assure you he'll be completely safe.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER AND MARY ANN

				PROFESSOR
				 (O.S.)
			And we can put a note in his pocket 
			explaining our situation.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			You know, the professor's got a point.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GINGER AND MARY ANN

				GINGER
			Well you can't send that boy up in a

CUT TO: PREVIOUS SHOT

			She's got a good point too.

				GILLIGAN
			You got a good point too.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF PROFESSOR, JUNGLE BOY IN BG

	The jungle boy is shot by Gilligan again. 

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			Well aren't you suppose to test these

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Mrs. Howell's got a good point.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MR HOWELL
			But the flight will make the lad famous!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Mr. Howell has a good point too.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan, not everyone can have a good 
			point you don't have to agree with 
			everyone!

				GILLIGAN
			You know something skipper? You got a 
			good point too!

	Gilligan tries to shoot the jungle boy but ends up 
	shooting right into the skipper's ear.

				GILLIGAN
			Besides, I don't see why anybody should 
			go up in that balloon. All you have to do 
			is put a rescue note in it, and, let it 
			go up by itself!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	There's a long pause while everyone realizes 
	Gilligan is right and all start giving him praise ad 
	lib.

				PROFESSOR
			Gilligan!

				GROUP
			      (AD LIB)
			Good point! Great idea!

CLOSE UP OF HUT DOOR

	The skipper and professor emerge from the hut. The

PAN RIGHT WITH SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR TO MR AND MRS HOWELL

				MRS HOWELL
			And I offered a generous reward for our

				MR HOWELL
			Yeah I knew you would Lovey. My note

	Gilligan comes running on camera in a frantic state.

				GILLIGAN
			Skipper! Professor! The boy is gone! He's 
			disappeared!

				SKIPPER
			Well maybe he went back to where he use 
			to live to get a few things!

				MR HOWELL
			Well what'd he have a formal loincloth!?

				PROFESSOR
			I wonder.

				MRS HOWELL
			You wonder what?

				PROFESSOR
			Well he knew we were talking about him.

			Is it caught in the trees anywhere!?

				MRS HOWELL
			It's terrible.

	The skipper and Gilligan bend over and pick up the

				GILLIGAN
			Oh, he sure must have used a sharp knife!

				SKIPPER
			Why these are cut clean through!

				MRS HOWELL
			Oh that poor boy!

				PROFESSOR
			I assure you Mrs. Howell he'll be 
			perfectly safe.

SLOW PAN RIGHT/ZOOM IN ON SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			       (EXCITEDLY)
			Not only that, we'll all be rescued! 
			Because when they find him, he'll tell'em 
			about us, and he'll tell'em about the 
			island, and he'll tell'em to send a boat, 
			and he'll tell'em...

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan. And just how is going to tell 
			them?

				GILLIGAN
			He'll just say, boy boy, girl, girl, no, 
			no.

	The realization that the boy won't be able to say 
	anything sinks in and Gilligan has a defeated look 
	on his face as we...

INT - SKIPPER AND GILLIGAN'S HUT - DAY

	Gilligan is seated at a table listening to music on 
	the radio, as the skipper is standing looking out 
	the hut's door. HE turns around to address Gilligan.

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan I keep telling you it was not 
			your fault!

				GILLIGAN
			Yeah but I found him.

				SKIPPER
			Well we'd have found him eventually.

				GILLIGAN
			How 'bout the Helium?

				SKIPPER
			Gilligan if there is any blame, we should 
			all share it. Now we knew he was 
			listening when we were talking about the 
			whole thing.

				RADIO
			LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WE INTERRUPT OUR 
			REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAM FOR A SPECIAL 
			ANNOUNCEMENT. 

	Gilligan looks as if he's about to say something as 
	the skipper leans closer on the table.

				SKIPPER
			Shhhhhhh!

				GILLIGAN
			I didn't say anything.

				SKIPPER
			Well you were just about to now shhhh!

				RADIO
			A MOST MIRACULOUS AND UNUSUAL EVENT HAS 
			HAPPENED. AN UNIDENTIFIED BOY IN A 
			BALLOON MADE OF RAINCOATS, HAS LANDED ON 
			THE DECK OF A UNITED STATES AIRCRAFT 
			CARRIER. 

				GILLIGAN
			He made it! Oh he made it!
			Hey everybody!

				SKIPPER
			He made it! He made it! Everybody!

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT

	The skipper and Gilligan run to the door and window, 
	running into each other in the process and yelling 
	for the other castaways.

	The other castaways come running. Mrs. Howell, 
	Ginger and Mary Ann take up positions outside the 
	window while Mr. Howell and the professor enter the 
	hut. Mr. Howell takes up position near the table.

				MR HOWELL
			What is that! What is that!

				SKIPPER
			Listen!

				RADIO
			OF COURSE THE MYSTERY WILL REMAIN WITH US 
			FOR YEARS, FOR IT WILL TAKE THAT LONG TO 
			FIND OUT WHO HE IS OR WHERE HE CAME FROM. 
			SINCE ALL HE CAN DO IS MIMIC.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MRS HOWELL, GINGER AND MARY ANN

				MRS HOWELL
			He could use a fork.

				GINGER
			Why he can comb his hair.

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN AND MR HOWELL

				RADIO
			OBVIOUSLY HE DIDN'T MAKE THE BALLOON 
			HIMSELF.

				MR HOWELL
			The boy's a pilot not an inventor!

				RADIO
			HE HAD HELP, BUT WHOM.

CUT TO: MEDIUM SHOT OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

				PROFESSOR
			Who.

				RADIO
				(O.S.)
			SO FAR ALL WE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIS 
			IS, BOY BOY, GIRL GIRL, NO NO.

				SKIPPER
			That's about all they'll EVER get out of 
			him too.

CUT TO: WIDE SHOT - GROUP

	Gilligan turn off the radio,

				GILLIGAN
			But after he grows up and goes to high 
			school and collage, he'll be able to talk 
			real good!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF MRS HOWELL, GINGER AND MARY ANN

				GINGER
			But that'll be ten years!

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF SKIPPER AND PROFESSOR

				SKIPPER
			Anything else Gilligan?

CUT TO: CLOSE UP OF GILLIGAN

				GILLIGAN
			Uh...hum. You skipper, him professor, me 
			nut.

	Gilligan has an embarrassed look on his face as we...
