FADE IN:
EXT. BOAT DOCK - DAY
The Minnow, a small tour boat in an out-of-the-way tourist
dock in Hawaii. A round guy in a blue shirt winds a spool of
rope, while a skinny guy in a red shirt ticks a clipboard.
GILLIGAN
Skipper?
SKIPPER
What is it, little buddy?
Gilligan shudders and then points at the bar chart.
GILLIGAN
I calibrated the chronometer. At a
rate of twenty-two point four knots
per gallon at a heading of three
one zero, we won't maintain
critical engine performance.
SKIPPER
Really, is that so? Let me see
that.
The Skipper takes off his hat and examines the clipboard. He
whaps Gilligan on the head with it.
GILLIGAN
Please don't hurt me again,
Skipper... I'll be your "little
buddy"...
Ginger toddles on in sunglasses and a spangly dress. Mary
Ann and the Professor queue up behind them. Several men line
up and load a huge number of trunks and satchels in an
assembly line and toss them down in the hold.
SKIPPER
Ah yes, Ginger Grant, Mary Ann
Summers and Professor Roy Hinkle.
You're checking baggage, I believe?
GINGER
Just a few things. Twenty-one
dresses, eighteen pairs of
stockings, fourteen slips, and
seventy-two pairs of shoes.
MARY ANN
Seventeen pie tins, and two spools
of hair ribbon.
(to Gilligan)
Ooh. You must be the first mate.
SKIPPER
Word of advice, sweetheart. He's
mine.
MARY ANN
All righty then. I guess that's
why you're called the FIRST mate.
Gilligan shudders.
GILLIGAN
(whispers)
Please kill me.
PROFESSOR
I'm bringing three hundred
textbooks on astrophysics. Also,
for safety, I thought it best if I
brought a radio along on this three
hour tour.
GILLIGAN
(pleased)
What does it run on?
The Professor flourishes a huge heavy bag from behind him.
PROFESSOR
Coconuts!
GILLIGAN
You'd be handy to have around on a
desert island.
SKIPPER
I know who I want to have on a
desert island.
Gilligan shudders and starts to weep. Mr. and Mrs. Howell
arrive, toting a large black suitcase.
MRS. HOWELL
Really, dahling, I wonder why we
don't travel on one of our private
yachts?
Mr. Howell opens the suitcase and pulls out a huge Baggie
filled with white powder.
MR. HOWELL
And I wonder why I'm taking you
instead of my ravishing young
mistress. Hah! But seriously,
Lovey. I have a particular
offshore business transaction to
make. Need to travel incognito.
It should increase our net worth to
fifty million!
MRS. HOWELL
Ooh, dahling! You're selling
cocaine to black people again!
MR. HOWELL
Ix-nay on the ocaine-cay.
SKIPPER
Good afternoon, Mr. and Mrs.
Howell. Gilligan, the suitcase.
Gilligan grabs the suitcase.
MR. HOWELL
Ah, Skipper. I must... impress
upon you the importance of privacy
in this tour. Most important to
keep this as off the books, so to
speak. A cash transaction only,
you know. Things are simpler that
way.
While Mr. Howell is talking to the Skipper, Gilligan has
gotten into the cocaine and has experimentally sniffed a big
handful. He has a big poof of powder on his nose.
MR. HOWELL
I'll carry that.
Mr. Howell takes the cocaine, and Mr. and Mrs. Howell enter
the boat.
SKIPPER
Gilligan!
GILLIGAN
(stoned)
Skippppeeeeerrrrr!
SKIPPER
Gilligan, what's wrong with you?
GILLIGAN
Dogs! Big dogs! Landing on my
face!
Skipper smacks Gilligan on the head.
GILLIGAN
Augh! Brain leaking! Agony!
Skipper picks up a tool chest. He opens it and shows that
it's full of equipment.
SKIPPER
Here, Gilligan. Flares, medical
supplies, a compass, navigation
charts, and a short-wave radio.
Stow them.
Gilligan takes the tool chest and licks it.
GILLIGAN
Fish! Large happy fish! Dancing!
Oh, they dance!
SKIPPER
Gilligan, plot our course!
Carefully!
GILLIGAN
The walruses are so pink!
The Skipper enters the boat's cabin.
GILLIGAN
Oogle! Oogle snick boober moofy
doof!
SKIPPER (O.S.)
Mainsail set! Anchors aweigh!
Gilligan drops the tool chest overboard.
GILLIGAN
I'm the king of the world!
Aaaaahhhhhhh!
The Gilligan's Island theme song starts as we...
FADE TO BLACK.
