Gilligan's Island (1964–1992): Season 3, Episode 25 - The Secret of Gilligan's Island - full transcript
Gilligan ends up dreaming that the islanders are all cave dwellers when he finds prehistoric stone tablets.
Gilligan!
Gilligan!
Gilligan!
Say, I'll bet he's in
one of these caves
around here.
Gilligan,
are you in there?
Gilligan,
are you in there?
Can you hear me,
little buddy?
Can you hear me,
little buddy?
Gilligan, you missed
your breakfast.
I'll be right there.
Hey, look at what
I found.
Never mind what
you found, gilligan.
We've been looking for you
all over the island.
What for?
I'm in here.
I can't believe it.
Why, these drawings
are prehistoric
hieroglyphics.
Gilligan, do you
realize what
you've done?
I didn't do it.
Honest. I can't even
pronounce it.
You may have discovered
a way to get us
off the island.
A little to your right
there, skipper.
That's it.
Come on, professor.
Watch your head, skipper.
Just keep coming that way.
Oof!
A little to your right,
professor,
otherwise we'll trip
over our instructions.
Let's--let's
put it down
a minute, skipper.
Thank you,
gilli--ahh!
Professor, I just
don't understand.
Is this really
a way off the island?
Skipper, I happen
to know a little something
about hieroglyphics.
Why, I spent 2 years
with an archeological
expedition in Egypt.
Now, this circle with a fish
around it means "island."
And these figures represent
people leaving the island.
Of course, this is
just a section of
a much larger tablet.
This area over here
is too faint to read.
Perhaps some water
would wash the dirt away
and make it
a little more legible.
And easier to read.
Yeah.
Would you go get the
professor some water?
Aye, aye, sir.
Skipper, we've
got to search
all the caves
in this area.
If the rest of
this tablet exists,
we've gotta find it.
Oh, professor, believe me.
If this means rescue,
I'll go through
all these caves
around here
on my hands and knees!
* 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 *
* 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 *
Uhh! Gilligan,
I told you to follow me.
Skipper.
What is it?
I'm stuck.
I told you to follow me,
didn't I?
Will you cut that out?
Tic-tac-toe?
I played that game
last week
when I was
exploring the caves.
You played tic-tac-toe
by yourself?
One day, I won
4 out of 5.
Would you hold this?
Oh, professor, we just
heard the good news
that we're gonna get off
the island.
Yes, yes!
Where's the ship?
We don't have a ship.
Oh, ever better,
a plane!
There is no plane,
Mr. Howell.
No plane, no ship,
then how are we
gonna get home?
This tablet.
Oh, well, do you
think it's big enough
for all of us?
Oh, no, no. You see,
this tablet
contains the secret to
getting off the island.
Oh, secrets, secrets!
I just love secrets!
Yes. If there's one
thing I love to tell,
it's a secret.
I'm trying to figure out
these hieroglyphics,
but several pieces of
the tablet are still
missing in the caves.
Perhaps you'd like to go
search for them.
Oh, could we, thurston?
It'd be such fun.
Yes. We can pretend
we're Sherlock Holmes
and Dr. Watson.
Can I be Dr. Watson
this time?
Well, ever since
medicare came in,
I don't give a darn.
Professor, hope I don't
offend you with
my political views.
Professor.
Professor.
Ooh, careful, gilligan.
We got another piece
just like the first one
with the same kind
of markings on it.
Marvelous.
Now be very careful.
What do you make of it?
Well, I'm sure
it's part of
the same tablet. Look.
The same type
of drawings.
They didn't draw
very well, did they?
Oh, gilligan,
these aren't
really drawings.
This is the way cavemen
talked to each other.
What a crazy
alphabet.
This is so exciting,
I kind of hate
to stop for lunch.
Well, we don't have to.
Gilligan, why don't you
go get us some lunch?
Yeah, sure.
What do you want,
coconuts, pineapple,
and bananas or bananas,
coconuts, and pineapple?
Well, I think bananas,
coconuts--oh, would you
get going and get some lunch?
I'm afraid the water
didn't clean it very well.
But how are you gonna
read the messages?
Well, I've started
ginger and Mary Ann
making an acid solution.
The acid should be able
to eat through the dirt
that's filled in the lines.
Oh, professor, if I had
a brain like yours...
I guess I'd be a professor.
I hope we did everything
right, Mary Ann.
I hope so, too.
I never cooked a pot
of acid before.
Me neither.
It says simmer
for a few minutes
in a stone pot.
Well, let's see
if it's ready.
It's ready.
Let's go tell
'em.
Hey, ginger? Mary Ann?
I have to bring back
the lunch.
Oh, soup.
It's certainly missing
something.
Stop! Gilligan,
put that down!
What are you
doing?
Oh, I was gonna taste
your soup, but...
Boy, you girls sure do
make strong soup.
Gilligan,
that's not soup.
That's acid.
Are you lucky
we got back in time.
What's the matter?
You look funny.
I was just thinking
how close I came to
having permanent heartburn.
Can you imagine,
people actually lived
in caves like this?
Where were the
servants' quarters?
There were no servants.
They did their own work.
Ooh, how dreadful.
Yeah. Explains the decline
and fall of the Roman empire,
believe me.
Lovey, either this damp
cave air has made you grow
or made me shrink.
Thurston, look. I'm
standing on a tablet!
Ohh! Ohh!
Yes, it's definitely
a part of the same tablet.
Well, that acid is sure
working, professor.
You know, skipper,
I think that piece there
would fit right
in this piece here.
Well, I think
you're right, gilligan.
Let's try it.
Would you help us
out here, Mr. Howell?
Yes, I'll give you
a hand. There.
Push it over there.
That's it.
I've always been
good at puzzles.
In kindergarten,
I got an "a"
in Jigsaw.
This is so exciting.
Let me try.
I once put together a puzzle
that had 800 pieces.
And I only used 500 of them.
Now, let me see.
That goes there.
That goes here?
We'll try it out here.
No. It doesn't fit,
Mrs. Howell.
Oh, pooh.
Wait a minute,
this piece--right,
if we just move this--
here, give me a hand.
Over here.
It'll just fit
in like that.
No. That's wrong, too,
Mr. Howell.
A howell is never wrong.
Break off a piece
and make it fit.
Please, Mr. Howell,
these pieces have got
to fit together exactly,
like a Jigsaw.
I think we're
missing maybe
a jig or a saw.
Well, that's
a rather unique way
of phrasing it,
but I think gilligan
is right.
Several pieces
of the tablet
are still missing.
You know, ginger,
the professor said the people
who carved those tablets
actually lived
in these caves.
Ooh, glad I'm not
a cavewoman.
Oh, me either, especially
the way the men used to
grab the women by the hair
and drag them along
on the ground on their...
Yeah. Probably how they
invented the bustle.
Aah!
Aah!
It's gone.
Oh, thank goodness.
Ginger.
Look at this rock!
It's part
of the tablet!
Oh!
Ohh!
Thank you, bat,
wherever you are.
It all makes sense now.
I'm convinced this tablet
shows the route
to some nearby island.
Now, here in the center
is the main message.
People in a boat.
And here is a remarkable
drawing of our lagoon.
Look at that monster
in the lagoon.
Gilligan, that's
a mosquito on the tablet.
I'll get it,
skipper.
Gilligan!
You'll break
the tablet.
Why don't you go get us
some nice, fresh fruit?
Ok. Do you want
coconuts, bananas, and
pineapple, or pineap--
get the fresh fruit.
Now, professor,
back to the map.
Where exactly
is the financial
district?
Well, this isn't exactly
a map, Mr. Howell,
but it may be the key
to our rescue.
Now, the trail
leaves the lagoon.
It crosses here.
That part must be
under construction.
It picks up again here
and leads to a nearby
island with many people.
Now, we've go to find
the part that fits here.
And the legend
of the missing part
will show us how
to get off the island.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Here's the fruit.
Now, we must all remember
that the missing part
may not be in one piece.
It may be in several pieces.
But if it were in one piece,
it would be about
the size of this tray.
It would have the same
color and consistency of
the rest of the tablet,
which is just
about like this.
Well, if you didn't want
the fruit, why'd you
send me to go get it?
Now, I suggest that
we all spread--
Gilligan!
Gilligan! You!
It's just like you people.
You take something away,
and you want it right back.
Gilligan, you found
the missing piece.
This? I've been
carrying this around
for months on the island,
and it's
the missing piece?!
You know, this tablet could
be a million years old.
It doesn't look a day
over a thousand.
Don't keep me
in suspense any
longer, professor.
Is it going to get
us off the island?
I'm sure it will,
ginger.
Ah, the missing pieces
were the key
to leaving the island,
just as I suspected.
Now, look here.
This half sun,
indicating a half day,
tells the amount of time
it will take
to get into a position
where the ocean currents
can pick you up and take you
to a big island.
Big island?
Big island? You know
what that means.
That means Hawaii!
I love Hawaii!
Hawaii!
That's right!
Absolutely!
Reserve me
a stateroom
on the raft.
Well, I'm afraid
it's rather difficult
for all of us to
make the trip on the raft,
Mr. Howell.
So I suggest gilligan
and the skipper start out
and then send a ship
back for us.
Where is gilligan?
Well, I think he thinks
we're still mad at him
for dropping that tablet.
Oh, I'll go find him.
You don't
have to, Mary Ann.
I heard every word.
Here--whoa!
Ooh, whoa!
Gilligan!
Oh, are you
alright?
Are you alright,
little buddy?
Oh, yeah.
I'm fine.
Luckily, I landed
on my head.
It was a nasty fall
out of that tree.
Are you sure
you're alright?
Yeah. I sure saw
hot dogs.
You mean stars.
No. I saw hot dogs.
Gilligan,
that's ridiculous.
When a person
bumps their head,
they see stars.
When I bump my head,
I see stars.
Now, what is it
you see when you
bump your head?
Stars, but they're
shaped like hot dogs.
Go to bed.
Once we get that tablet
fixed, we're gonna be
leaving the island,
and we gotta have
a goodnight's sleep.
Oh, little buddy,
I guess that bump was
harder than you thought.
Why don't we switch bunks?
Thanks, skipper.
You're welcome.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, skipper.
Skipper!
What is it?
Maybe I ought to get in
my own bunk.
I'm kinda used to it.
Sure, gilligan.
Here, let me help you.
Skipper, I'm kinda
afraid to go out in
that raft tomorrow.
We don't know
what might happen.
Well, I know one thing
that'll happen.
If you don't get to bed,
you're gonna be asleep,
and we will leave
without you.
Now, get in the sack.
There.
Goodnight, little buddy.
Goodnight, skipper.
You know, skipper,
the professor said that
a million years ago,
the chief of the cavemen
tried to keep his people
from leaving.
He said other places
were bad and evil.
Did you know that?
I know that you're
keeping me awake.
Now go to sleep, gilligan.
That caveman that
carved that tablet,
he sure
must've been brave.
Not half as brave
as you are.
Now go to sleep!
Please!
Yeah, must've been fun
to live
a million years ago.
Caves and cave people...
You gotta be brave.
You gotta...
Caves and...
Chief...
Cave people...
Gilligan!
Too late!
Me see picture!
Customer say making
picture bad! Rrff!
Gilligan say
picture good.
No, no, no!
Picture evil place.
Other side of hill!
Next time gilligan
make bad picture,
smash gilligan to pieces.
Ah-di-di-di-bee!
Ah-di-di-di-bee!
Gilligan alright?
No hurt. Chief angry
'cause gilligan
make picture.
Oh, not look at picture.
Chief howell say
not look at evil place
on other side of hill.
No true. No evil.
No. We not go.
Skipper afraid.
We starve on way.
Maybe carry food.
Maybe clothes.
How we carry
all these things?
Professor invent wheel.
Professor say most important
invention take on trip.
Professor wrong.
Skipper know most important
invention take on trip.
Women!
I go professor now.
I go get wheel.
I get women.
No matter what
skipper say,
ginger and Mary Ann
stay here.
And skin stay here.
Why skipper need
so many skins?
Is very cold on
other side of hill.
Gilligan say they
have thing called snow.
What is snow?
Is white, lumpy rain.
We don't need rain.
We need husbands.
Men on this side
of hill run too fast.
Easy for man
to slip on snow.
What?
Easy to catch man
running in snow.
Man run, slip on snow,
girls catch husband.
Ooh, other side of hill
sound very good to Mary Ann.
Sound good
to ginger.
We like snow.
We need husbands.
Wheel work?
Uh, not know yet.
Have not tried
new wheel.
Other wheels work?
Ah, other wheels
not work.
What wheel should do?
Wheel should
turn around.
How professor know?
Oh, one time professor
see tree.
Big storm come.
Tree fall.
Turn round and round.
Roll away.
Give professor idea
for wheel.
Ready to try.
Gilligan help.
What do now?
Try to make go.
Ooh!
No. Wheel not work.
Oh.
Unh!
Skipper get girls to go.
Gilligan get
professor to go.
Chief got you.
Nobody go!
Grrr!
How long chief howell
keep us in cave?
He say 100 years
or until we die,
whichever
comes first.
Oh, without gilligan,
cannot find land of free
and home of brave.
Only gilligan
understand picture.
This look like
right way.
Oh, no.
Ginger forget.
World is flat.
Professor right.
Go wrong way,
fall off edge.
Must get gilligan
and skipper
away from
chief howell.
Ginger get gilligan
and skipper away.
How?
Ginger know how.
Uh, ginger know how.
What ginger doing here?
Ginger go for walk.
Walk.
Ginger stop now.
Talk to
chiefy whiefy.
Not come this close
to chief.
Not come this close?
No. Closer.
Ooh.
What ginger do?
Ginger help us.
Gilligan think ginger
help ginger.
Chiefy whiefy--
no. No. No call chief
chiefy whiefy.
Why?
Chiefy whiefy wifey
get mad.
What ginger winger want?
Ginger winger
want chiefy whiefy
to let friends
out of jail.
No. Never would I
do thing like that.
Maybe ginger winger
make chiefy whiefy
change mind.
Nothing make chief
change mind.
Nothing?
Well?
That not nothing.
That something.
Change mind.
Unh!
Aah!
Skipper,
we go now.
We free.
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Big dinosaur.
Dinosaur! Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur.
What happened?
What is it?
What is it, gilligan?
Skipper, I had a dream.
I dreamt we were all
cave people.
You know where we lived?
In caves?
Yeah. You must've had
the same dream.
We're all dressed up
like cave people,
and we're trying to--
look, gilligan,
we haven't got time
to talk
about your dream.
We're supposed to
shove off to Hawaii.
I'm afraid it would all
be a waste of time.
What would be
a waste of time?
I'm afraid I made
a terrible mistake.
You made a mistake?
Yes, you see, cuneiform,
which is the oldest
form of writing,
was originated
by the sumerians
and is read demotically.
However, I read the tablet
as though it were
a blue strophegon, you see?
Yeah, I see fine.
I also hear pretty good.
But I don't understand
one word you said.
I've got to admit,
a couple of those words
went past me, too.
Well, basically, all
ancient forms of writing
are read
from right to left.
I read from left to right.
So instead of telling us
how to leave the island,
the tablet tells us
something they consider
much more important,
which is how to get here.
You mean the tablet
tells how to get
on the island?
What's so tough about that?
We did it without
even trying.
Yeah, w--
I see.
Well, then in
other words, professor,
you mean that
the cave people
didn't get off
the island either.
Exactly, skipper.
They were stuck here
just the way we are.
Ah...
Gilligan,
what are you doing?
Oh. I'm leaving
a message here
for anybody who might be
shipwrecked in the next
million years
in case they
want to get off.
A message?
What message?
Home sweet home.
* 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 their 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 *
Gilligan!
Gilligan!
Say, I'll bet he's in
one of these caves
around here.
Gilligan,
are you in there?
Gilligan,
are you in there?
Can you hear me,
little buddy?
Can you hear me,
little buddy?
Gilligan, you missed
your breakfast.
I'll be right there.
Hey, look at what
I found.
Never mind what
you found, gilligan.
We've been looking for you
all over the island.
What for?
I'm in here.
I can't believe it.
Why, these drawings
are prehistoric
hieroglyphics.
Gilligan, do you
realize what
you've done?
I didn't do it.
Honest. I can't even
pronounce it.
You may have discovered
a way to get us
off the island.
A little to your right
there, skipper.
That's it.
Come on, professor.
Watch your head, skipper.
Just keep coming that way.
Oof!
A little to your right,
professor,
otherwise we'll trip

I think that piece there
would fit right
in this piece here.
Well, I think
you're right, gilligan.
Let's try it.
Would you help us
out here, Mr. Howell?
Yes, I'll give you
a hand. There.
Push it over there.
That's it.
I've always been
good at puzzles.
In kindergarten,
I got an "a"
in Jigsaw.
This is so exciting.
Let me try.
I once put together a puzzle
that had 800 pieces.
And I only used 500 of them.
Now, let me see.
That goes there.
That goes here?
We'll try it out here.
No. It doesn't fit,
Mrs. Howell.
Oh, pooh.
Wait a minute,
this piece--right,
if we just move this--
here, give me a hand.
Over here.
It'll just fit
in like that.
No. That's wrong, too,
Mr. Howell.
A howell is never wrong.
Break off a piece
and make it fit.
Please, Mr. Howell,
these pieces have got
to fit together exactly,
like a Jigsaw.
I think we're
missing maybe
a jig or a saw.
Well, that's
a rather unique way
of phrasing it,
but I think gilligan
is right.
Several pieces
of the tablet
are still missing.
You know, ginger,
the professor said the people
who carved those tablets
actually lived
in these caves.
Ooh, glad I'm not
a cavewoman.
Oh, me either, especially
the way the men used to
grab the women by the hair
and drag them along
on the ground on their...
Yeah. Probably how they
invented the bustle.
Aah!
Aah!
It's gone.
Oh, thank goodness.
Ginger.
Look at this rock!
It's part
of the tablet!
Oh!
Ohh!
Thank you, bat,
wherever you are.
It all makes sense now.
I'm convinced this tablet
shows the route
to some nearby island.
Now, here in the center
is the main message.
People in a boat.
And here is a remarkable
drawing of our lagoon.
Look at that monster
in the lagoon.
Gilligan, that's
a mosquito on the tablet.
I'll get it,
skipper.
Gilligan!
You'll break
the tablet.
Why don't you go get us
some nice, fresh fruit?
Ok. Do you want
coconuts, bananas, and
pineapple, or pineap--
get the fresh fruit.
Now, professor,
back to the map.
Where exactly
is the financial
district?
Well, this isn't exactly
a map, Mr. Howell,
but it may be the key
to our rescue.
Now, the trail
leaves the lagoon.
It crosses here.
That part must be
under construction.
It picks up again here
and leads to a nearby
island with many people.
Now, we've go to find
the part that fits here.
And the legend
of the missing part
will show us how
to get off the island.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Here's the fruit.
Now, we must all remember
that the missing part
may not be in one piece.
It may be in several pieces.
But if it were in one piece,
it would be about
the size of this tray.
It would have the same
color and consistency of
the rest of the tablet,
which is just
about like this.
Well, if you didn't want
the fruit, why'd you
send me to go get it?
Now, I suggest that
we all spread--
Gilligan!
Gilligan! You!
It's just like you people.
You take something away,
and you want it right back.
Gilligan, you found
the missing piece.
This? I've been
carrying this around
for months on the island,
and it's
the missing piece?!
You know, this tablet could
be a million years old.
It doesn't look a day
over a thousand.
Don't keep me
in suspense any
longer, professor.
Is it going to get
us off the island?
I'm sure it will,
ginger.
Ah, the missing pieces
were the key
to leaving the island,
just as I suspected.
Now, look here.
This half sun,
indicating a half day,
tells the amount of time
it will take
to get into a position
where the ocean currents
can pick you up and take you
to a big island.
Big island?
Big island? You know
what that means.
That means Hawaii!
I love Hawaii!
Hawaii!
That's right!
Absolutely!
Reserve me
a stateroom
on the raft.
Well, I'm afraid
it's rather difficult
for all of us to
make the trip on the raft,
Mr. Howell.
So I suggest gilligan
and the skipper start out
and then send a ship
back for us.
Where is gilligan?
Well, I think he thinks
we're still mad at him
for dropping that tablet.
Oh, I'll go find him.
You don't
have to, Mary Ann.
I heard every word.
Here--whoa!
Ooh, whoa!
Gilligan!
Oh, are you
alright?
Are you alright,
little buddy?
Oh, yeah.
I'm fine.
Luckily, I landed
on my head.
It was a nasty fall
out of that tree.
Are you sure
you're alright?
Yeah. I sure saw
hot dogs.
You mean stars.
No. I saw hot dogs.
Gilligan,
that's ridiculous.
When a person
bumps their head,
they see stars.
When I bump my head,
I see stars.
Now, what is it
you see when you
bump your head?
Stars, but they're
shaped like hot dogs.
Go to bed.
Once we get that tablet
fixed, we're gonna be
leaving the island,
and we gotta have
a goodnight's sleep.
Oh, little buddy,
I guess that bump was
harder than you thought.
Why don't we switch bunks?
Thanks, skipper.
You're welcome.
Goodnight.
Goodnight, skipper.
Skipper!
What is it?
Maybe I ought to get in
my own bunk.
I'm kinda used to it.
Sure, gilligan.
Here, let me help you.
Skipper, I'm kinda
afraid to go out in
that raft tomorrow.
We don't know
what might happen.
Well, I know one thing
that'll happen.
If you don't get to bed,
you're gonna be asleep,
and we will leave
without you.
Now, get in the sack.
There.
Goodnight, little buddy.
Goodnight, skipper.
You know, skipper,
the professor said that
a million years ago,
the chief of the cavemen
tried to keep his people
from leaving.
He said other places
were bad and evil.
Did you know that?
I know that you're
keeping me awake.
Now go to sleep, gilligan.
That caveman that
carved that tablet,
he sure
must've been brave.
Not half as brave
as you are.
Now go to sleep!
Please!
Yeah, must've been fun
to live
a million years ago.
Caves and cave people...
You gotta be brave.
You gotta...
Caves and...
Chief...
Cave people...
Gilligan!
Too late!
Me see picture!
Customer say making
picture bad! Rrff!
Gilligan say
picture good.
No, no, no!
Picture evil place.
Other side of hill!
Next time gilligan
make bad picture,
smash gilligan to pieces.
Ah-di-di-di-bee!
Ah-di-di-di-bee!
Gilligan alright?
No hurt. Chief angry
'cause gilligan
make picture.
Oh, not look at picture.
Chief howell say
not look at evil place
on other side of hill.
No true. No evil.
No. We not go.
Skipper afraid.
We starve on way.
Maybe carry food.
Maybe clothes.
How we carry
all these things?
Professor invent wheel.
Professor say most important
invention take on trip.
Professor wrong.
Skipper know most important
invention take on trip.
Women!
I go professor now.
I go get wheel.
I get women.
No matter what
skipper say,
ginger and Mary Ann
stay here.
And skin stay here.
Why skipper need
so many skins?
Is very cold on
other side of hill.
Gilligan say they
have thing called snow.
What is snow?
Is white, lumpy rain.
We don't need rain.
We need husbands.
Men on this side
of hill run too fast.
Easy for man
to slip on snow.
What?
Easy to catch man
running in snow.
Man run, slip on snow,
girls catch husband.
Ooh, other side of hill
sound very good to Mary Ann.
Sound good
to ginger.
We like snow.
We need husbands.
Wheel work?
Uh, not know yet.
Have not tried
new wheel.
Other wheels work?
Ah, other wheels
not work.
What wheel should do?
Wheel should
turn around.
How professor know?
Oh, one time professor
see tree.
Big storm come.
Tree fall.
Turn round and round.
Roll away.
Give professor idea
for wheel.
Ready to try.
Gilligan help.
What do now?
Try to make go.
Ooh!
No. Wheel not work.
Oh.
Unh!
Skipper get girls to go.
Gilligan get
professor to go.
Chief got you.
Nobody go!
Grrr!
How long chief howell
keep us in cave?
He say 100 years
or until we die,
whichever
comes first.
Oh, without gilligan,
cannot find land of free
and home of brave.
Only gilligan
understand picture.
This look like
right way.
Oh, no.
Ginger forget.
World is flat.
Professor right.
Go wrong way,
fall off edge.
Must get gilligan
and skipper
away from
chief howell.
Ginger get gilligan
and skipper away.
How?
Ginger know how.
Uh, ginger know how.
What ginger doing here?
Ginger go for walk.
Walk.
Ginger stop now.
Talk to
chiefy whiefy.
Not come this close
to chief.
Not come this close?
No. Closer.
Ooh.
What ginger do?
Ginger help us.
Gilligan think ginger
help ginger.
Chiefy whiefy--
no. No. No call chief
chiefy whiefy.
Why?
Chiefy whiefy wifey
get mad.
What ginger winger want?
Ginger winger
want chiefy whiefy
to let friends
out of jail.
No. Never would I
do thing like that.
Maybe ginger winger
make chiefy whiefy
change mind.
Nothing make chief
change mind.
Nothing?
Well?
That not nothing.
That something.
Change mind.
Unh!
Aah!
Skipper,
we go now.
We free.
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Big dinosaur.
Dinosaur! Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur!
Dinosaur.
What happened?
What is it?
What is it, gilligan?
Skipper, I had a dream.
I dreamt we were all
cave people.
You know where we lived?
In caves?
Yeah. You must've had
the same dream.
We're all dressed up
like cave people,
and we're trying to--
look, gilligan,
we haven't got time
to talk
about your dream.
We're supposed to
shove off to Hawaii.
I'm afraid it would all
be a waste of time.
What would be
a waste of time?
I'm afraid I made
a terrible mistake.
You made a mistake?
Yes, you see, cuneiform,
which is the oldest
form of writing,
was originated
by the sumerians
and is read demotically.
However, I read the tablet
as though it were
a blue strophegon, you see?
Yeah, I see fine.
I also hear pretty good.
But I don't understand
one word you said.
I've got to admit,
a couple of those words
went past me, too.
Well, basically, all
ancient forms of writing
are read
from right to left.
I read from left to right.
So instead of telling us
how to leave the island,
the tablet tells us
something they consider
much more important,
which is how to get here.
You mean the tablet
tells how to get
on the island?
What's so tough about that?
We did it without
even trying.
Yeah, w--
I see.
Well, then in
other words, professor,
you mean that
the cave people
didn't get off
the island either.
Exactly, skipper.
They were stuck here
just the way we are.
Ah...
Gilligan,
what are you doing?
Oh. I'm leaving
a message here
for anybody who might be
shipwrecked in the next
million years
in case they
want to get off.
A message?
What message?
Home sweet home.

for a long, long time *
