Double shh!

Gilligan,

gilligan,

Boy, am I hungry!
I'm starvin'!

What would you
like for dinner?



Oh, I'd like
to have a steak

smothered
in hamburgers and an
ice cream sundae--

gilligan, please!
I'll fix dinner as soon
as ginger's finished,

but be quiet now, huh?

Oh...she's wonderful!

I'd give anything
to be like ginger Grant.

She's finished.
Ok, gilligan, ok.
Oh, you're wonderful!

You're wonderful, ginger!

Ohh!

Hey, Mary Ann.

Mary Ann. Mary Ann,
are you alright?

Mary Ann.
Hey, Mary Ann.

Are you ok,
Mary Ann?

[Speaking like ginger]
I'm fine, but...

Why did you call me
Mary Ann?

Why did I call you
Mary Ann?

Yes.

You're not Mary Ann?

[Ginger's voice]
Gilligan, are you
feeling alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, don't you
recognize me?

I'm ginger.

You're ginger?

Of course I'm ginger.

* just sit right back,
and you'll hear a tale *

* a tale of a fateful trip *

* that started
from this tropic port *

* aboard this tiny ship *

* the mate was
a mighty sailin' man *

* the skipper brave and sure *

* 5 passengers set sail that day
for a 3-hour tour *

* a 3-hour tour *

[thunder]

* the weather started
getting rough *

* the tiny ship was tossed *

* if not for the courage
of the fearless crew *

* the minnow would be lost,
the minnow would be lost *

* the ship's aground
on the shore of this *

* uncharted desert isle *

* with gilligan *

* the skipper, too *

* the millionaire and his wife *

* the movie star *

* the professor and Mary Ann *

* here
on gilligan's isle *

Well, there's no evidence
of a concussion.

Everything seems
to be perfectly normal.

[Ginger's voice]
Why shouldn't it?
I feel fine.

Well, good. Then
you won't mind completing
the examination.

But what's it for?

Just humor me.

Alright.

Who am I?
The professor.

She's fine.

Who are they?

Gilligan
and skipper.

She's ok.

And of course
you know who you are.

I'm ginger.

She's sick.

What's happened to Mary Ann
has a very simple
psychological explanation.

I mean, almost every girl
at some time in her life

wishes she were
a famous actress.

But Mary Ann
isn't wishing,
professor.

She really thinks
that she's me.

Well, ginger,
the blow to her head

caused Mary Ann
to assume the identity

of the only famous actress
she's ever known. You.

It's a lucky thing
she didn't know Lassie.

But she can't be me
because...I'm me.

She's right.
She is ginger.

Show him
your driver's license.

Gilligan, would
you be quiet?

Now, what can we do
to help her?

Well, until I can
come up with a psychiatric
approach to the problem,

we're gonna have to
to along with her fantasy.

You mean we're gonna
still have to pretend
that Mary Ann is ginger?

Exactly. You see,
as ginger,

Mary Ann will expect
to see a Mary Ann among us.

Well, where are we
going to find a Mary Ann?

Well, one of us will
have to be Mary Ann.

Oh, no. I'm not gonna
be Mary Ann. I look
terrible in pigtails.

Oh, not you, gilligan.
Ginger's the obvious one
to be Mary Ann.

Me?
Well, of course.

In a suitable wig
and costume, why not?

Look, my dear,
it's quite simple.

Ginger needs a wig
so she can be Mary Ann

because Mary Ann
is ginger.

Thurston, have you
been eating Brandy peaches
without the peaches again?

Let me explain,
and follow after me.

Ginger isn't ginger anymore.
She's Mary Ann.

[Imitating] Ginger
isn't ginger anymore.
She's Mary Ann.

And Mary Ann
isn't Mary Ann anymore
because she's ginger.

And Mary Ann
isn't Mary Ann anymore
because she's ginger.

By jove, I think
she's got it!

And Mary Ann wants
to borrow a wig
because she--

oh, who is she,
anyway?

Now, look,
my little annuity,

please let me explain
one more time, darling!

Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Howell.
Have you found a wig
for ginger yet?

No. I'm having
a little difficulty

explaining it
to Mrs. Howell.

Please! I understand
everything perfectly.

Ginger isn't ginger
anymore because Mary Ann
isn't who she was

when ginger wasn't
who she is. Isn't
that right, skipper?

Skipper?
I'm your little darling
thurston-poo.

Please. We must find
a wig for ginger.

Now, I've sent gilligan
to find Mary Ann
and keep her busy.

It's extremely important
that Mary Ann
doesn't see ginger

until ginger has had
a chance to assume
Mary Ann's identity.

Is that Mary Ann one
or Mary Ann 2?

It's getting so you
can't tell the players
without a program.

[Ginger's voice]
I need someone
to love me.

I need someone
to kiss me.

I need someone
to want me.

I need you!

I need to get
outta here.

Gilligan, you're
just in time.

I need you to help me
rehearse this scene.

Scene? Oh, yeah,
I forgot that you
were ginger--

no, never mind.

I don't know what
you're talking about, but...

You will help me...
Won't you?

Yeah, sure, but
after we're finished,

better have
your eyes checked.

Oh, gilligan.
Now, in this scene,

you play the part
of Scott--my boyfriend.

Scott is, uh, unfriendly
and won't have anything
to do with me.

I like that.

But I'm friendly.

Oops.

Oh, please, Scott,
don't go out tonight.

Stay here with me.
We're all alone

and there's a fire...
Soft music.

You can have
anything you want.

Even root beer?

Root beer?

Gilligan,
read your lines.

Um...

"When are you
going to realize

"that I've got
important things
to do

"and you don't fit
in my plans--

baby"?

Oh, you don't mean it.
You're my life.

When I'm with you,
my temperature rises.

Flames leap up
around me.

Smoke fills the air.

I'm on fire.

You don't need me.
You need
smoky the bear.

Oh, please, Scott,
look at me!

Don't you know?

Don't you know?!

Ummhh!

I'm yours forever!

Oh, gilligan,
where are you going?

We haven't finished
the scene.

I have!

Oh!

Wait a minute,
little buddy!

Where's the fire?

Back there in Mary gin--
gin Mary--

whatever her name is.

Not so fast. You're
not going anywhere.

I'm not?

No. Ginger
isn't ready yet,
so I want you

to march right back
and keep Mary Ann busy.

Oh, no. She wants
to kiss and hug
and stuff like that.

But Mary Ann
isn't herself!

You're telling me!

Now, look, if we want
her to get well,

we've all gotta
help her out. Right?

Right. We all
gotta help her out.
You help her.

Gilligan. Now, I want you
to get right back there,
and that's an order.

Please...look at me.

Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Ok.
Where were we?

Scott.

Well, it wasn't
too bad,

considering
the last hair
I put a ribbon on

was the tail
of my Polo pony Bruce.

I think you did
a remarkable job,
Mr. Howell.

Mary Ann
wears her hair
exactly like that.

What do you think,
professor?

Well, I'm not sure
what it is, ginger,

but something
about your disguise
isn't quite right.

I know what it is.
It's her walk.

She doesn't--
she doesn't walk
like Mary Ann.

Mr. Howell is right.
Mary Ann has a much more
casual stride, like this.

No, professor,
not like that.

She puts her hand
on her hip, like this.

No, no,
you're both wrong.

She walks more like...
Like Bob hope.

Well, i--i don't
know who's right.

Could you try it again
so I could compare it?

Oh, uh...
Professor, uh...

Uh...I'm so sorry.

I really didn't know
you were rehearsing for
the debutante cotillion.

Since I'm going to be
Mary Ann, I guess
I'd better check on dinner.

Oh, I forgot
to tell you.

Uh, I may, uh,
dress like Mary Ann
and walk like Mary Ann,

but I still cook
like ginger Grant.
Sorry about that.

In that case,
I don't think
you'd better eat,

thurston, darling.
I remember
the exact words

your stomach
specialist said--

avoid, uh,
cholesterol,
starches,

and lousy cooking.

Here she is!
Here's ginger!

Here comes ginger.

Hi, ginger.

Hello, ginger.

Hi, everybody.

Is dinner ready yet?
I'm starved.

Well, Mary Ann
said that

dinner is
just about ready
to be served.

Mary Ann!
Mary Ann!
We're all here!

I hope you like
what I've prepared.

What is it?

Yes, what is it,
Mary Ann?

Something simple.
Fish pie.

Fish pie?!

Hi, ginger.

Hi, Mary Ann.

What are you doing
to my--your dress?

Well, I've been
trying them on.

You know,
for some reason,

well, they're all
much too big for me.

Oh, well. Maybe
you've lost weight.

They're all stretched.

That's what it is.

It must be
the tropical weather.

Oh! What are you
doing to my--
your dress?

I'm making it fit.

Oh...

[Scissors clipping]
Ohhh...

There.
That's more like it.

I'm going to cut
all my dresses
down to fit...

Even if it takes
all night.

Ohhh...

No!

Ohhh...

You'd better put
that wig back on.
Mary Ann might see you.

Oh, don't worry,
gilligan. She was
up all night

cutting
my dresses in half.
She's still asleep.

Ohhh...

My dress...
It's all ruined.

[Gasps]

Oh...i told you.
I told you.

Ginger.

Ginger.

I'm afraid she's in
a traumatic shock.

Skipper.

You know, when
she saw the girl
she thought she was,

I'm afraid it was
more than her mind
could accept.

Isn't there something
you can do?

Well, I've read where
hypnosis has been used
in cases like this,

but in her present
condition, I'm afraid
it might not work.

We can't leave her
like this.

You're right.
I'll have to try it.

I'll leave
you two alone.

Ginger.

Ginger!

Gilligan. The professor
says that Mary Ann's
in shock.

He's gonna have to try
and hypnotize her.

Hypnotize her?
Oh, boy!

Here comes ginger.
We'd better tell her
to stay away from here

so the professor
can work with Mary Ann.
Come on.

Ginger?

Ginger!

[Whining]
Ohhh...

Oh, professor,
I'm so confused.

I saw myself.

Ginger, everything
is alright.

Everything is going
to be alright.

I saw gilligan and me
hanging up the wash.

Ginger, sometimes
the glare from
the tropical sun

can play tricks
with what we see.

Now, I'm sure it was all
in your imagination.

And I think I can
help you with hypnosis.

Hypnosis?

Yes. Now, you just watch
this shiny object.

Just relax.

Watch.

Watch it swing.

Back and forth.

Back and forth.

You're getting
very drowsy.

Your eyelids
are getting heavy.

You can hardly
keep them open.

You're going
into a deep...

Deep...

Deep...

Sleep.

It's been some day.

I'm going
back to the hut
and rest.

Gilligan and I
wanted to tell you
not to go to--

gilligan?

I bet he's over
at the hut right now,

annoying the professor.

Wait'll I get
my hands on him.

You're in a deep,
sound sleep...

A very relaxing
sleep.

Now, when
I awaken you,

I'm going
to say the name
"Mary Ann."

And when you hear
the name "Mary Ann,"

you are going
to become Mary Ann.

Now, I want you
to repeat after me...

"When I hear
the name Mary Ann..."

When I hear the name
"Mary Ann..."

When I hear
the name "Mary Ann..."

"I will become
Mary Ann."

I will become Mary Ann.

I will become Mary Ann.

Excellent.

Now I'm going
to awaken you.

When I snap
my fingers, you will
become wide awake.

Skipper:
Gilligan.

Stay away from
that window, or you'll
bother the professor.

But, skipper--

no buts.
Now, come on.

Well, now...
How do you feel?

Alright...
I guess.

Fine. Now, suppose
you and I discuss...

Mary Ann.

[Ginger's voice]
Forget about Mary Ann.
What about me?

Why did I see
another ginger?

* row, row your sub
gently down the tub *s

* merrily, merrily,
merrily, merrily *

* life is but a dream *

* row, row,
row your sub *

gilligan, what's this?
Taking a bath in
the middle of the day?

Skipper, did you see
the big mud puddle
behind the hut?

Yes.

I didn't.

Would you hand me
that brush, please?

Yeah, certainly.
I just came by
to tell you

I saw the professor,
and, well,

the hypnotism
didn't work at all.

Poor Mary Ann.

[Gasps]

What's wrong?
All I said was,
"poor Mary Ann."

[Mary Ann's voice]
Aah! How dare you
come in here

when a lady's
taking a bath?

A lady taking a bath?!
Are you nuts?

Get out of here, you
peeping Tom! Out! Out!

Gilligan, what's
wrong with you?!

"Gilligan"?
What's wrong with you?

I'm Mary Ann!

Get out! Get out!

Oh...now gilligan
thinks he's Mary Ann.

Oh, brother!

Ohhh...

Good heavens.
The skipper's
soaked to the skin.

There isn't
a rain cloud
in the sky.

Maybe it's raining
inside the hut.

Mary Ann still
thinks she's ginger,
and now gilligan

thinks he's
Mary Ann!

I've got to talk
to the professor.

Did I hear correctly?

Gilligan is Mary Ann?

I thought, uh,
ginger was Mary Ann.

We've got 3 Mary anns,
and we're fresh out of
gilligans and gingers.

* row, row,
row your boat... *

that's strange.
There's the skippers
duffel bag

and the boys' clothes.

What are they doing
here in the girls' hut?

[Gasps]

I'm in the boys' hut
by mistake!

I gotta get out of here!
Oh, goodness gracious!

Now, let me see if
I have it right, thurston.

Uh, Mary Ann
is gilligan.

Uh, no, ginger
is Mary Ann because--

will you be silent,
lovey? I just want
to have

a small, quiet
nervous breakdown.
Yahh!

[Mary Ann's voice]
Oh, excuse me.

I didn't know
anybody was up.
Excuse me.

Gilligan?!

Mary Ann?!

Whoever you are...

Whatever you are.

Safe at last!

Ginger, what
are you doing
in my clothes?

I'm filing my nails.

Ohh! Gilligan,
what are you doing
with that towel on?

Get out of here!
Go on!

Get out!

That's the only
explanation, skipper.

Gilligan must've
gone under while I was
hypnotizing Mary Ann.

Well, you've gotta make him
snap out of it, professor,

or I gotta get
a new roommate.

Well, if you're looking
for gilligan

or Mary Ann, whoever
that skinny one is,

you'll find him or her
in the girls' hut.

Or perhaps now
it's the boys' hut.

It's a good point,
lovey.

Come on, professor.

For the last time,
are you going to come
out of there, gilligan?

Why do you keep calling
me gilligan and why do
you have my clothes on?

Professor:
Ginger.

Oh, professor.

Come on.
No!

Gilligan!

Just listen to me.

I want you
to relax.

I want you to relax.
Now, just relax,
Mary Ann.

He's Mary Ann?

What's happening
to everyone?

I'll explain it
later, Mary Ann.

Well, I'm ginger...
I think.

Just watch
the little ball,

and you'll fall
into a deep,
sound sleep.

I don't want to watch
the little ball.

I don't want to watch
the little ball.
I don't want to go to...

You are not
Mary Ann.

You are gilligan.

You are not
Mary Ann.

You are gilligan.

Boy, am I hungry.
Let's go get
something to eat. Oh.

Ginger?

Ginger.

I've got it.
I've got it!

I believe I've
found a plan

to help Mary Ann
regain her identity.

Wouldn't it be better
if she went back
to being herself?

What's your idea?

We'll ask Mary Ann
to put on a show
for us tonight.

A show?
Why, sure.

As ginger, she'll
want to perform,

but underneath,
as Mary Ann, she'll
know she can't.

Oh, I'm beginning
to see the light.

Yeah, me, too!

It's still dark
where I am.

Alright, gilligan,
I'll explain it.

Now, Mary Ann won't
be able to perform
as ginger,

and this will create
a tremendous conflict
in her mind.

And I'm sure
the real world
of Mary Ann

will push out
the dream world
of ginger,

and Mary Ann
will become
Mary Ann again.

Boy, professor,
I sure wish
I had your brains.

If you did, the professor'd
have an awful big hole
in his head.

Yes.

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen,

and I want to welcome you
to a truly,

I think a truly great,
great show here tonight.

I'd like to introduce
at this time

one of the outstanding
personalities
of the cinema,

the stage,
the recording medium,

you name it,
and she's got it...

Here she is,
a fine, young star
in her own right,

the one and only,
america's sweetheart--

miss ginger Grant.

[Music plays]

* I want to be
loved by you *

[off key]
* by you, and nobody
else but you *

* I want to be
loved by you *

* alone *

* poop poop bee doo *

[off key]
* I want to be
kissed by you *

[getting worse]
* by you *

* and nobody else
but you *

* I want to be
kissed by you *

* alone *

* poop poop bee doo *

* I couldn't asp-- *

I seem to have
forgotten the words. Uh...

Maestro, would you start
the record again, please?

Yes. Anything
you say, ginger.

[Music plays]

* I want to be
kissed by you *

[off key]
* by you *

* and nobody else
but you *

* I want to be
kissed by you *

[wildly off key]
* alone *

* poop poop bee doo *

I don't know
what's the matter with me.

Um...maybe if I just
dance it, I'll be alright.

Hey. Here.
Let me help you up.

Are you alright?

Come on.

Watch the steps.

Are you alright,
ginger?

Gilligan, I'm not ginger.
I'm Mary Ann.

What was I doing
up there on the stage?

Did you hear that?
Mary Ann wants to know

what she was doing
on the stage.

Yes! Mary Ann
wants to! Oh,
that's wonderful!

I could kiss her,
and I think I will.

Is that the old Mary Ann
who wants to know what
the new ginger was doing

or the new ginger
who wants to know what
the old Mary Ann was doing?

Well, I guess we're back
to the old Mary Ann
and the old ginger.

Oh, and I was
just getting used to it
the other way.

Professor.
What, dear?

Look at ginger.
Something must be
the matter with her.

She's wearing
my clothes.

She must think
she's me.

[All laughing]

Hi, Mary Ann.

Uh, ginger, I know
miniskirts are the
latest style back home,

but that's ridiculous.

Well, ridiculous or not,
it's all I've got left

since you went wild
with the scissors.

Besides, I think
it's catching on.

Catching on?

Mm-hmm.
Have you seen
gilligan?

No.

Gilligan!

Hi, Mary Ann.

Well, I figured
if ginger can wear
a miniskirt,

I can wear minipants.

* they're here
for a long, long time *

* they'll have to make
the best of things *

* it's an uphill climb *

* the first mate
and his skipper, too *

* will do their very best *

* to make the others
comfortable *

* in the tropic island nest *

no phone...
No lights...

* no motorcars,
not a single luxury *

* like Robinson crusoe *

* it's primitive
as can be *

* so join us here
each week, my friends *

* you're sure to get a smile *

* from 7 stranded castaways *

* here on gilligan's isle *
