FADE IN: INT. THE HOWELL'S HUT - DAY
THURSTON HOWELL IS ANGRILY STARING AT HIS WIFE, LOVEY.
MR. HOWELL
So, Lovey, you think that, after all these years, you can just decide that
our marriage, which, by the way, always included extravagances funded by me
and my business, can be just tossed aside - POOF! - just like that?
LOVEY
Thurston, we both know you have been unfaithful to me. Now, just admit it!
MR. HOWELL
What?! Unfaithful with who? Mary Ann? Ginger?
LOVEY
MR. HOWELL
Those are the only other females on this island!
LOVEY
Aren't you forgetting your loving little "mermaid", as I have heard you call him?
MR. HOWELL
What are you even talking about?
LOVEY
I heard you talking in your sleep the other night. You said, and I quote, "Oh Gilligan,
what if my wife finds out?".
Now! Can you deny that?!
MR. HOWELL
I was asleep. Who knows what nonsense I could say while I am asleep!
LOVEY
Well, I've seen the way you look at Gilligan.
MR. HOWELL
LOVEY
Like he has something you want. Need I say more?
MR. HOWELL
Only if you want me to know what you're talking about!
LOVEY
OK, here it is. I think you want his attention, BIG TIME! There!
MR. HOWELL
Are you through? Are you through with this nonsense?
LOVEY
Well, I guess. But, how can you rebut what I have said?
MR. HOWELL
I'll have you know that I gave up a lucrative cartooning
enterprise to take a beautiful but needy person like you on as a wife.
"Oh, Magoo, you've done it again!"
If you don't hush this talk, I will reduce your allowance to near $0, so help me!
LOVEY
MR. HOWELL
LOVEY
MR. HOWELL
LOVEY
You mean, near $0 is enough?
MR. HOWELL
(issues the "duh" expression)
What do you need money for here, anyway? Nothing to buy or barter for.
And you have some nerve trying to threaten a divorce!
And, Gilligan?? Gilligan is a bufoon of the first magnitude.
And, I would like to say -
JUST THEN, A MAN BEARING A STRONG RESEMBLANCE TO WALLY COX ENTERS THE SCENE FROM THE LEFT.
LOVEY
I'm sorry, who might you be?
