3:30 GILLIGAN'S ISLAND - Comedy, 30 min.
A raft-born visitor appears then disappears.

GILLIGAN'S ISLAND

"Holy Rower!"

 

FADE IN: LATER IN DAY, NEAR LAGOON

GILLIGAN NOTICES A RAFT JUST OFF SHORE.

GILLIGAN

HEY! HEY! YOU ON THE RAFT! HEY!

GILLIGAN RUNS BACK TO THE OTHERS TO TELL THEM ABOUT THEIR VISITOR.

GILLIGAN

Hey everybody! There's a raft out in the lagoon! We've got a visitor!

MR. HOWELL

Now Gilligan, are you sure? Did he look like a Havahd man?

SKIPPER

Can it, Mr. Howell.

Now Gilligan, what else can you tell me about this person?

GILLIGAN

Well, it looks like a man, and he was waving a book, I think, up in the air over his head.

PROFESSOR

A book ... a book ... Hmmm. Maybe he's a researcher who was looking into the wave action at the equator. What do you think?

GILLIGAN

Professor, are you kidding? I hope you're kidding. How is it each week you can't get through 30 minutes without spouting some kind of technobabble about this or that?

PROFESSOR

Gilligan. I'm the Professor, for gosh sakes. What do you want me to do, iron a shirt?

GILLIGAN

Alright, alright. Forget it. Let's go see this guy on the raft.

THE CASTAWAYS ARRIVE AT THE LAGOON'S EDGE JUST IN TIME TO SEE THE RAFT MAKE LAND. A MAN DRESSED IN A BLACK ROBE STEPS ONTO THE SAND. IN HIS HAND IS BOOK OF SOME TYPE.

GILLIGAN APPROACHES THE MAN.

GILLIGAN

Ug. We, castaways. Who you?

GINGER

Gilligan, you've been watching too many Indian movies. Nobody actually talks like that! Besides, this guy's obviously not a native.

GILLIGAN

Well, he sure ain't from Havahd!

MR. HOWELL SNEERS AT GILLIGAN.

THE MAN SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY TO INTERJECT HIMSELF IN THE CONVERSATION.

MAN

Will you put your hands out? Put your hands out on the good book. The eeevil devil spirits are all about us here! Praise the Lord! Can I get a witness? Thank you, Jesus! Anybody need any micacle spring water?

GILLIGAN

Professor, what's he talking about?

PROFESSOR

Gilligan, I think what we have here is a confused and lost televangelist.

MAN

Now, the address on your screen is the Lord's house. Please send anything you can spare, as soon as possible. Can you feel Him? Praise be! Can I get a witness? Can I get a fifty? Anything! Let's sow a seed together! What say, can you send us a thousand-dollar seed today?

GILLIGAN

Professor, what's all that 'get a witness' talk? Does he think we're in court?

PROFESSOR

Yeah, Gilligan.

(to man)

Hey Mr. Holier-than-Thou, shove off! We ain't got time for this nonsense! ...

JUST THEN, A MAN BEARING A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO WALLY COX ENTERS THE SCENE FROM THE LEFT.

PROFESSOR

I'm sorry, who might you be?
