FADE IN: AT CAMPSITE
GILLIGAN
Hey, Professor, have you seen Ginger?
PROFESSOR
GILLIGAN
Because she wanted me see if I thought her new bikini made from
my handkerchief looked good on her or not.
THE PROFESSOR GOES INTO A TRANCE JUST IMAGINING SUCH A THING.
PROFESSOR
Ah, Gilligan, do you need any help with this Ginger bikini thing?
GILLIGAN IS SHAKING HEAD AND SHRUGGING SHOULDERS
GILLIGAN
Gee, I don't know, Professor.
PROFESSOR
Well, maybe I'll just tag along just in case.
GILLIGAN
AS GILLIGAN AND THE PROFESSOR START WALKING TO GINGER'S HUT MR. HOWELL STOPS THEM.
MR. HOWELL
I say, have either of you chaps seen my alligator golf bag around here? I
seem to have misplaced it.
GILLIGAN AND THE PROFESSOR LOOK OVER, THEN STOP TO ADDRESS MR. HOWELL.
GILLIGAN
No, Mr. Howell. We haven't seen your golf bag. Now excuse us while
we continue on over to Ginger's hut to look at her new
less-than-handkerchief-sized bikini she is trying on.
MR. HOWELL ALSO TEMPORARILY GOES INTO A TRANCE, SMILING BROADLY. MR. HOWELL'S EXPRESSION BRIGHTENS.
MR. HOWELL
Ah, Gilligan, Professor, do you boys need any help? Because I'd be
glad to tag along in case you do.
GILLIGAN
PROFESSOR
Gilligan, did you say that the bikini is made from a single
handkerchief?
GILLIGAN
Yeah, that's right. One of those 8-inch kind. Almost no cloth.
I don't know how she can do it!
THE PROFESSOR BEGINS PANTING. MR. HOWELL IS GRINNING EAR TO EAR. FINALLY THEY REACH GINGER'S HUT.
GILLIGAN KNOCKS ON HER DOOR.
GILLIGAN
Ginger? Ginger? Are you there?
GINGER O.S.
THE PROFESSOR AND MR. HOWELL NEARLY WHIP THEIR NECKS TRYING TO TURN THEIR HEADS TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN SEE. GINGER IS BEHIND A SMALL BAMBOO GROVE.
GINGER
Ah, Gilligan? I couldn't make a two-piece bikini. There wasn't enough
cloth. I had to settle for just one piece. Is that ok?
GILLIGAN
THE PROFESSOR AND MR. HOWELL ARE IN A FULL-UP LATHER BY THIS TIME.
GINGER
Ok, Gilligan. Here I come.
THE BAMBOO IS RUSTLING AS GINGER MOVES ABOUT.
GINGER
(fabric ripping sounds)
Oh shoot! I snagged my topless bikini on a thorn! I'll just have
to show you another time Gilligan. Sorry.
THE PROFESSOR AND MR. HOWELL ARE PARCHED AND COLLAPSE.
GILLIGAN
Hey, Ginger. Maybe I can round up more cloth for you next time.
THE PROFESSOR SIGHS AND GRITS HIS TEETH IN A SUBSTANTIAL GRIMACE.
GILLIGAN
Come on, Professor and Mr. Howell. Professor? Mr. Howell? Hey!
MR. HOWELL HAS PASSED OUT AND THE PROFESSOR HAS SLIPPED IN TO A SEMI-CONSCIOUS STATE.
JUST THEN, A MAN BEARING A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO WALLY COX ENTERS THE SCENE FROM THE LEFT.
GILLIGAN
I'm sorry, who might you be?
