How do you like Your steak done?

Rare, with onions And fried potatoes.

Uh, hello, gilligan.

I'm just sitting here Daydreaming.

Don't you like Bananas and coconuts Anymore?

Gilligan, I'm sick of Bananas and coconuts.

It's all we ever eat.

I like bananas. You want one?

Gilligan, I told you I wanted something Different.

Like a steak Or lamb chops or...

Oh, fresh celery And carrots and--

Do you like Avocados?

Avocados? You've Got an avocado?

One just flew Over me, landed In the bushes.

One just flew-- One just flew over and Landed in the bushes?

Let's get it!

Oop! Let's Get out of here!

[explosion]

That's a grenade, Alright.

World war ii Hand grenade.

And they almost got me And gilligan with it.

The question is Who were they,

And why did they Throw the grenade?

Maybe they're Trying to attract Our attention.

Gilligan, you Don't throw grenades To attract attention.

Unfortunately, Gilligan, People throw grenades

In order to kill Other people.

Exactly. I mean, If you want to attract Somebody's attention,

You tap them On the shoulder And say hi.

Hi.

You're right. It's a good way to Attract attention.

Gilligan, Would you be quiet?

We're trying to think This thing out.

Skipper, Could it have been Lodged in a tree

And accidentally Fallen out?

No, professor. It came flying Through the air.

* with the greatest Of ease *

* the hand grenade Knocked us down To our knees *

Gilligan, that Is enough of that.

I promise I'll be quiet.

You be quiet Right here.

We're trying to figure out A plan of action.

The important thing Is motive.

Why did they Throw the grenade?

I say the important Thing is

How many Have they got?

Shh! They're Trying to figure out A plan of action.

Precisely Why I'm here.

Sorry I'm late, Gentlemen.

Please, mr. Howell, We're trying to Think this thing out.

Well, I know Exactly what to do.

Demand immediate And unconditional Surrender.

Oh, but we don't know Who or how many.

How can we ask them To surrender?

I don't mean them, I mean us.

Have either one of us Go to the lagoon

Carrying a white flag.

Professor: That may not Be a bad idea.

What, give up without Defending ourselves?

Immediately, before One precious drop

Of howell blood Is spilled.

Well, nobody is Pushing me around.

It's a fight they want, I'll give it to them.

Well, whoever they are, Skipper, they've got Hand grenades.

And discretion Is sometimes

The better Part of valor.

Discretion is always The better part of valor.

I'm still for fighting To the last man.

What about the women?

Oh, I forgot All about them.

They're always on my mind, Bless their little hearts.

Oh, I just hate To give up Without a fight,

But if it means That maybe the women Will get hurt,

I guess Your white flag Is the answer.

Now, wait a minute, Gentlemen.

I've been having Second thoughts.

Now we've already Been subjected

To one Unprovoked attack.

What happens If they don't honor The white flag?

Exactly.

They'd kill The man who's Carrying the flag,

And that Is the reason

That your idea Is no good.

My idea? It wasn't my idea.

You were the one Who was talking about

Unconditional surrender And the white flag and--

Gentlemen, gentlemen, Please.

We've got to concentrate On another scheme.

Gilligan, this Ought to do nicely For a white flag.

One of mr. Howell's Good shirts?

Yes, with The family crest--

Crossed dollar bills On a field Of swiss banks.

You ought to take These cuff links.

They must cost A fortune.

Oh, gilligan, One mustn't talk Of money

At a time like this. One mustn't?

No, it's neatness That counts.

Now, french cuffs Flapping in the breeze

Would be Terribly sloppy.

Mata hari Reporting for duty.

Ginger, this is neither The time nor the place For a woman.

Oh, forget That I'm a woman.

I'm a secret agent Trying to capture The enemy.

Well, but--we appreciate The fact, ginger,

You are a very Brave girl,

But this situation Is just too dangerous.

Wait a minute, Skipper.

Uh, suppose That I, um,

I walk up To the enemy Like this.

And I put my Arms around them Like this.

[softly] And I Whisper into his Ear like this.

Come on, baby, Surrender to ginger.

I give up.

Unfortunately, You're not One of the enemy.

Ginger, if you got Yourself captured,

We'd have More problems than We have right now.

Well, at least Can I carry The surrender flag?

I'm very good At that. Watch.

Nothing doing.

No one will pay Any attention To the flag.

Don't dawdle, Gilligan.

Surrender and be back On time for lunch.

Yes, ma'am.

Hey, gilligan, Come over here.

Where do you think You're going?

Down to the lagoon To surrender.

Well, whoever gave you That crazy idea?

From you guys. You said that Was the plan.

Well, gilligan, We've changed Our minds now.

One of Those grenades

Would tear you To ribbons

And absolutely Ruin my shirt.

Yes, we decided Not to risk it.

Well, don't worry About his shirt.

He's got plenty of those, And plenty of those Diamond cuff links, too.

I know, but we only Have one little buddy.

And since we don't Know the nature Of the enemy,

We can't be sure he'll Respect the meaning Of the white flag.

You mean he might think I'm drying my laundry

And start tossing Grenades at me, Like that one?

Oop! Dive! Di-dive!

[explosion]

Say, that was A narrow escape. Yes.

Don't fret, Mr. Howell.

Your cuff links Are still alive.

Now, gentlemen, We must find some way

To defend ourselves Against our Unknown enemy.

The key word Is organization.

Therefore, I shall take over

As commanding general Of our armed forces.

Well, now, Just a minute, Howell.

I'm skipper Around here,

And I'll give The orders.

He's right, Mr. Howell.

The skipper Gives orders at sea.

Right now We are on dry land.

Dry land Or wet land,

I'm in charge Around here.

I'm in charge! Says who?

Says me. Yeah?

Yes. Oh, yeah?

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Professor, You're breaking up At the best part.

Skipper, let mr. Howell Play his war games.

We've got more Important things to do.

Now, we've got to get out And scout the island.

Exactly. You're right, Professor.

Find out our Enemy's strength, Where he's dug in.

How many and exactly Where they are.

I'll take this half.

Alright, I'll start At this end.

And we'll Meet back here.

Right.

Professor, as Commanding general,

I appoint you chief Of intelligence.

Well, thank you Very much, general.

And, skipper, In spite of your Insurgent attitude,

I'm gonna make you Secretary of the navy.

On your shoulders Will rest all Our naval problems.

Yeah, well, Thanks a lot, Mr. Howell.

We haven't even Got a boat.

That's your problem.

When you get one, I'll enlist.

Okay, you, too, Gilligan.

Let's get Out of here, Professor.

Gilligan! Attention!

Aye aye, sir.

General. Sir general?

No, a simple General howell will do.

Simple general howell, Can I be chief Of the air force?

No, no, no, no, I have big plans for you.

You are going To be the man

Without whom no army Can function.

A visiting senator?

Of course not. Private gilligan,

Hut, 2, 3, 4!

Hut, 2, 3, 4!

Hut! 2, 3, 4!

I do hope Thurston approves.

I've never been In nurses corps Before, you know.

Well, I don't know Anything about it Either, mrs. Howell,

But your hospital Looks very good to me.

Hello, dear.

Ooh, hi, Mr. Howell.

"Hello, dear"? "Hi, mr. Howell"?

Didn't we say that, Mary ann?

Why, I suppose It's very military To repeat.

The military thing Is to come to attention

When your Superior officer Enters the room.

Supe--you mean You're superior to me?

I don't think I like that, thurston.

Lovey, let's just say That I outrank you.

I'm not certain I like that, either.

Good for you, Mrs. Howell.

Captain, Don't you understand

The functions Of a wac officer?

A wac's purpose Is to relieve a man Of their duty

So they may be Free to fight.

Excellent, excellent.

Also kp, Laundry detail,

And sweeping up The barracks floor.

But I did that When I was A civilian.

If you have any complaints, Put them in writing.

Have the head of the uso Report to me immediately.

Alright.

Captain! Aren't you Forgetting something?

Oh. Good-bye.

Lovey, She was supposed To salute me.

Oh, thurston, Don't carry on so.

After all, We're rather new At this war thing.

Don't say This is a war thing.

This is not a game. I'm inspecting A base hospital.

Oh, poof. Oh, poof!

Very taut, Very military.

Ooh! Very, very hot.

Bottle of iodine, Bottle of aspirin,

Bot--bottle Of scotch?

It's for the alcohol.

To sterilize wounds And things.

Well, Unless the wound Is internal,

Use a cheaper brand With soda.

Ah.

Uso reporting For duty, sir.

You are The only one aware Of military protocol.

Lieutenant, As head of the uso,

You are to entertain The troops

And keep The enlisted men happy.

I shall not fail In my duty, sir.

Very well. Tonight, Treat them to a show.

I'm already In rehearsal, sir.

Good heavens, nurse,

Put a bandage On that girl

Before she Freezes to death.

To fire, Ready? Fire.

Oop!

You--

Did you men Locate The enemy?

We couldn't find Hide nor hair of anyone.

You shouldn't be looking For hides or hairs.

You should be Looking for people.

Didn't you See anyone either?

Not a sign.

You shouldn't be Looking for signs.

You should Be looking for--

That's enough, Gilligan.

You see anyone Lurking around here?

Nope. Not a hide Nor hair,

Nor sign nor lurk Nor nothing.

Well, it's obvious As commanding General,

And anything I say is--

Oh, never mind A speech.

Well, It's very plain

The enemy's Found out

That I'm the Commanding general

And they have Retreated.

Well, of all the--

Personally, I don't care why,

Just as long As they're gone.

Well, when General howell Speaks,

Men listen.

[machine gun fire]

Well, that's Just dandy.

Whoever has Those grenades

Has a machine gun, too.

I wonder why they Stopped firing.

I don't know, But they could Have picked us off

Like sitting ducks.

I can't See anything.

You can come up now, Mr. Howell.

Yes, that is unless You're frozen down there.

No, I'm listening For the sound of Approaching horses,

A trick I learned From general custer.

Come on, skipper. Let's take A look around.

Yes. We've got To locate that enemy.

One moment, private. Huh?

You're wounded.

Huh? Oh, it's nothing.

Nothing? Was it The machine gun Bullets

Or a hand grenade?

Neither one. When we ducked Under the table,

You stuck me With your tie pin.

Nevertheless, You're wounded.

I want you to Report to sick bay.

It's just a scratch.

That's The worst kind!

But, Mr. Howell-- No buts!

Now you run along.

I'll stay here and Dig a slip trench.

Oh, mary ann, look. Our first patient.

Oh, he seems To have difficulty In breathing.

That's 'cause I was running.

He sounds Delirious to me.

I always sound This way.

Where's The wound?

Oh, here. Just a little scratch.

Oh, it Looks serious, Very serious.

When we ducked Under the table,

General howell stuck me With his tie pin.

He made me Come over here.

Oh, how thoughtful Of him.

Now we can give you A thorough Examination.

Huh? What?

Up you go. Go on.

Oh, dear. Now,

This won't hurt A bit.

Oh, no, you don't.

Now, you be a good Little soldier boy

And do as you're told.

Stick out Your tongue.

Say "Aah." Aah.

Oh, major, What do you think?

I think he should Put it back Where it belongs.

It looks awful.

I just need a bandage. A teeny weeny bandage, Right here.

We'll tell you what You need, soldier. Lie down.

But I'm not tired.

Oh, you're not Nervous, are you?

I wasn't before, But I am now.

Well, I'll get you Something to relax you.

Did anyone call For the uso?

Oh--oh.

Well, I'll tell you, My dear.

You just entertain This poor little Soldier boy

While we go get The bandages ready.

Okay, mrs. Howell.

[jazz music plays]

* it had to be you *

* it had to be you *

* I wandered around And finally found *

* somebody who *

* could make me Be true *

* could make me Be blue *

* and even be glad, Just to be sad *

That's great, ginger.

Hey, wait! There's another chorus.

Alright, mr. Howell, You can come out Wherever you are.

Oh, yes.

Oh, I see you've Disarmed the devils.

Well, we found this Lying over there In the brush.

Yes. Evidently, They just dropped it And ran.

Well, I'll see that You both get medals.

Oak leaf cluster With palm leaves, Of course.

Hee hee hee.

Gilligan, little buddy, What happened?

Oh, I had A little scratch,

And the girls Tried to cure me.

It's lucky I got Out of there alive.

Take that stuff off.

We've got A lot of work to do.

You know, this has Almost a full load Of ammunition.

I wonder Why they left it.

Professor, please, Don't question.

Just be glad that We've got a weapon To use.

Well, I'd still Like to know why.

Then I'll tell you. It's a trick.

We're dealing With a super mentality,

An enemy with An intelligence

Far superior to ours.

Professor: Mr. Howell, I shall have To contest your theory.

You contest your Commanding general?

A man who studied Under robert e. Lee And george custer?

You would pick Two losers.

But I be-- But--but--bu--

Skipper: Gilligan, will you Stop interrupting?

Whoever they are, They are violating

Every precept Of guerrilla warfare.

Don't tell me about Guerrilla warfare.

No one knows more About guerrilla warfare Than thurston howell.

With the exception of A guerrilla, of course.

That's it, Mr. Howell. Look!

We may frighten him Into doing something.

If he moves, It'll frighten me Into doing something.

I'd run. Hold still.

[explosion]

[hooting]

The machine gun. I'll scare him off.

Stop! You might Hit him.

[gunfire]

You shouldn't have Done that. You might Have hurt him.

And killed us!

I'll go see If he's alright.

Gilligan, Come back here!

Well, I only meant To scare him off.

Gilligan: you know What happened?

I hope I didn't Kill the ape.

No, but you killed A couple of coconuts.

Broken branches. We're on The right track.

Broken branches. We're on The right track.

Broken branches. We're on the right track.

Aaaaaaah!

Aaaaaaah!

[gorilla hooting]

Maybe we better Come back tomorrow.

Gilligan, Wait a minute now.

We've got to get That ammunition Away from him.

The ape was obviously On the island During the war.

He saw the soldiers Using the weapons

And decided That's the way Men play together.

Well, he's liable To start playing again

While we're Sitting down to dinner

Or swimming In the lagoon.

Well, we've got To get into that cave.

Maybe there's A back door.

Oh, certainly, and A basement and three Bedrooms and two baths.

I don't think It's that big.

[whispering] Shut up, gilligan.

Let's see if We can dig around The back.

[gorilla hooting]

This looks like A natural opening.

We'll have to dig it out To try and move The rock.

Wish I hadn't Left my shovel.

You had A shovel?

Yeah, and a pail, too. At the beach.

I left it there when I was four years old.

Did I cry, just Like a 4-year-old.

Start digging.

Hmmph.

Digging.

Gilligan.

Gilligan.

Can you see him?

No, it's too dark.

Gilligan.

[hooting]

[hooting]

[hooting]

[hooting]

He saw me. Let's get out of here.

Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

[hooting]

He didn't see you, Gilligan.

He didn't see him? Oh, good.

Now, are The hand grenades Still in there?

Two big boxes.

Well, We'll get a vine

We'll have you tie Around the boxes

And then we'll Pull them out.

Right. You yank On the vine.

That'll be your signal For us to pull them out.

You understand?

What do I do If I get captured?

You just give Your name, rank, And serial number.

Name, rank, And serial number.

That's right. Destroy all maps,

Any information, And any new plans--

Oh, gilligan, Why do I listen To him?

Come on, Let's get that vine.

Come on.

Both: aaaaaah!

[gorilla hooting]

You know, I had A good look at that ape.

Yeah. He was Looking at me Real good, too.

Real Hungry-like.

It's one of That rare breed, who Like the rattlesnake

Of the genera crotalis, Can actually be stared Into immobility.

You mean--

Oh, you mean If you keep Looking at him,

He'll Keep looking back.

That's right. If you don't move, He won't move.

It's kind of Like hypnosis.

W-w-wish me luck, Boys.

No, wait a minute, Skipper.

I'll do the staring.

We need your strength To carry one Of those boxes.

Well, professor, You better pick up The other box, too.

I can't budge Either one of them,

And besides, I'm a good starer.

I really wish There were another way.

Honest, I really am A good starer.

I once stared at A man-eating tiger

For two hours And 20 minutes. It didn't bite me.

But, gilligan, That tiger Was behind bars.

That ape isn't Behind any bars.

However, if You remain frozen, He'll remain frozen.

Well, I got A good start.

I got cold feet Already.

[hoo haa]

[growls]

[fly buzzing]

[fly buzzing]

[puffing]

[growls]

[hooting]

[hooting]

The maps are in My pocket, the plans Are under my hat.

There's a machine gun Nest on the hill.

My general's name Is howell,

And my name is mud.

It wasn't your Fault, skipper.

Oh, of course it was.

Come on, skipper, We've got to try again.

We've got to track down Gilligan and that ape.

And bring him Back alive.

Not the ape, Gilligan.

Well, okay, girls.

[explosion]

This--this way.

[explosion]

[explosion]

[splash]

[explosion]

[hooting]

Now get it Over the plate And keep it down.

Throw it, throw it!

Throw it, throw it!

[explosion]

[howling]

Oh, there's no more.

[hooting]

That's not a grenade.

[growling]

Alright, But don't blame me If it doesn't explode.

Here, here.

What's that thing He's giving the ape?

Who cares, professor,

Just as long as all The grenades are gone.

[hoots]

Look out!

Not this way!

[powerful explosion]

Say, it wasn't A grenade after all.

For extraordinary Valor in facing An enemy

That outweighed you At least 600 pounds,

I proudly Present you

With the order Of the diamond Cuff link.

[hooting]

Who invited you To the ceremony?

Look, he's reaching For something.

It could be Another grenade.

Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah!

My coconut cream pie!

Oh, and I hid it For a surprise.

Well, he finally got it Over home plate.
