MARY ANN APPROACHES GINGER WHO IS SITTING QUIETLY.

Hi, Ginger.

(she perceives Ginger's mood)

Say, are you OK?

Oh, it's OK, Mary Ann. I am just feeling down - once again - that I am stuck on this island and my erstwhile fame is flagging.

Say what?

I'm nowhere! My career as a famous Hollywood movie star is over!

Is that all?! At least you were somebody. I have always been just a cute, wholesome mid-west farm babe.

Mary Ann, you flatter yourself. Your appearance is nowhere! You are a hillbilly. You don't know what it is like being famous. I do!

Hey, why don't you let the Professor hypnotize you into forgetting you were ever a famous movie star? That way you could be happy!

(thinking about it)

Yeah!... Yeah, maybe I can be fooled into forgetting my past!

MARY ANN RUNS OFF TO GET THE PROFESSOR.

MARY ANN KNOCKS ON THE PROFESSOR'S HUT DOOR

Professor? Are you in there?

THE PROFESSOR OPENS HIS DOOR.

Hi, Mary Ann. What's up?

I had the good idea of you hypnotizing Ginger to make her forget her movie star past so she can just be happy here, now, with us, despite the fact that we will all be stuck here the rest of our lives probably.

Oh, is that all??!

(giving a look of disapproval)

I haven't tried to hypnotize anyone since my college days. I don't even know if I remember how.

Oh, Professor. Please come out to where Ginger is sitting and try!

THE PROFESSOR FOLLOWS MARY ANN OUT TO WHERE GINGER IS.

GINGER SEES THE TWO APPROACHING HER AND STANDS UP.

Hi, Ginger. Care to be hypnotized?

(rubbing her head)

After Mary Ann left to go get you I walked over to see a cute monkey under that coconut tree and one of those things dropped off the tree and konked me in my noggin. See?

GINGER LEANS OVER TOWARD THE PROFESSOR TO SHOW HIM HER HEAD BUMP. THE PROFESSOR SPIES THE CAVERNOUS CLEAVAGE ALSO PRESENTED TO HIM.

(to himself)

Mama mia!

Pardon me?

Oh, nothing.

THE PROFESSOR PULLS OUT A POCKET WATCH ON A CHAIN AND BEGINS TO SWING IT IN FRONT OF GINGER.

Now Ginger, please concentrate on the watch, uh, I mean, amulet.

Amulet?

The watch. In school they said to call whatever you are swinging an "amulet".

Oh. Well, OK. Go ahead.

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

I'm sorry, who might you be?
