Quotes 

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [Convinced that he is dying, The Skipper asks Gilligan to bring him his sea chest. Gilligan does, setting it down next to him]  Gilligan, it's on my fingers.

  Gilligan : [Gilligan moves the chest and opens it, hitting the Skipper with the lid]  Wow! Look at all this junk!

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : Junk? My life is in that chest!

  Gilligan : A bottle cap?

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [Wistfully]  Singapore, 1946, the first bottle of beer I ever opened with my teeth.

  Gilligan : Why'd you do that?

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : I didn't want to, but some guy hit me in the mouth with the bottle. You can have it.

  Gilligan : [Shows the Skipper a large spider in his hand]  What does this remind you of?

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : Nothing. It must've just crawled in there.

  [Gilligan quickly throws it away.] 

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [a flash happens outside the hut the Skipper is in]  Fire! Fire!

  [In comes Gilligan dressed as Watubi with Mary Ann and Ginger as his assistants] 

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : Watubi! I didn't think you were gonna make it!

  Gilligan : [Out of character]  Neither did I.

  [Ginger and Mary Ann nudge him, goes into character] 

  Gilligan : Watubi here to lift Curse of Kona!

  [Smacks the Skipper on his stomach with his wand] 

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [after Gilligan, Mary Ann, and Ginger talk out of character amongst one another]  Watubi, what is it? What's the matter?

  Gilligan : [Out of character]  We forgot our lines.

  [Ginger and Mary Ann nudge him again, back in character] 

  Gilligan : Nothing my son.

  [Smacks him on the stomach again with his wand] 

• Professor Roy Hinkley : [Gilligan & The Professor are digging a hole to bury the statue of Kona]  There. That should be deep enough.

  Gilligan : Make it a little deeper, Professor. I want to put him down so deep he'll get the bends.

  Professor Roy Hinkley : Gilligan, that statue is not getting out of this hole.

  Gilligan : Please make it a little deeper.

  [the professor digs for a bit more, then puts the statue in the hole] 

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [the Skipper comes along and falls into the hole. He sees what's in the hole with him, jumps out and runs away]  Aaah! Kona!

  Gilligan : Hey Skipper! Watch out for that

  [sharp cracking sound] 

  Gilligan : tree.
