FADE IN: EXT. GILLIGAN'S HUT - DAY
THE PROFESSOR HAS ARRIVED AFTER BEEING SUMMONED BY THE SKIPPER WHO HAS NOTICED GILLIGAN ACTING GOOFY.
PROFESSOR
Hey, Gilligan, how late did you stay up last night?
GILLIGAN
PROFESSOR
I said, how late did you stay up last night?
GILLIGAN
I don't know. The clock you made from a coconut stopped last month.
SKIPPER
PROFESSOR
(dumfounded look on the Professor's face)
SKIPPER
Gilligan is not the same!
GILLIGAN
Skipper, who told you? Was it the mirror image of God or that other fellow?
PROFESSOR
(dumfounded, to the Skipper)
What is he talking about?
SKIPPER
(to Gilligan)
Gilligan, the Professor is trying to help you get back to your old self. That's all.
GILLIGAN
Where is my old self? Huh? Anyway, I am not interested.
(beat)
I have seen the other side, Skipper. I like it there. Ah, here.
SKIPPER
Professor, can you help my little buddy? He seems awful confused.
THE PROFESSOR PONDERS THE SKIPPER'S REQUEST.
PROFESSOR
Well, the only hope I see is for us to try to shock Gilligan out of his
current state and hope he lands back on our planet.
SKIPPER
PROFESSOR
I need several coconuts and a can of bug spray. Did we salvage any spray from the Minnow wreckage?
SKIPPER
(the Skipper had been preoccupied watching Mary Ann through the weeds.)
PROFESSOR
Skipper!? Can you find some old bug spray? And bring me some coconuts. And a knife.
SKIPPER
The kind of spray that kills old bugs or a can that is
old that will presumably kill current bugs?
PROFESSOR
(looks right at the camera)
(beat)
(then looks at the Skipper)
Skipper! Do you want the old Gilligan back or not?!
SKIPPER
But Professor, I don't think that Gilligan was that old to start with.
(THE PROFESSOR JUST WALKS OFF.)
SKIPPER
Professor, are you gonna get the coconuts?
JUST THEN, A MAN BEARING A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO WALLY COX ENTERS THE SCENE FROM THE LEFT.
SKIPPER
I'm sorry, who might you be?
