[after Gilligan has spilled soup on him for a second time] Why me, Professor? Why always me?

Scenes with The Skipper Grumby 27

Oh, Shut up, will you Gilligan!

Skipper

You can't tell Gilligan to shut up! I'll tell him when to shut up!

Thanks skipper. Now folks...

Skipper

Shut up, Gilligan!

S1 E2 Home Sweet Hut

Skipper

Think of it, ever since we got to this island, we've had nothing but bad luck. One disaster after another. What do you think caused it?

I thought we all agreed it was me.

S1 E3 Voodoo Something to Me

[after the raft sinks in the lagoon, and the castaways make it back to shore] Hey Skipper? We sank anyway without the gold.

Skipper

Oh, I'm afraid this is all my fault, folks. Why, I didn't think one bag of gold would sink us.

Two bags.

Three bags.

Four bags.

Five bags.

Six bags.

[after they all look at him, he scoffs] That's a switch. Usually I'm one left holding the bag.

S1 E9 The Big Gold Strike

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

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

Gilligan, that statue is not getting out of this hole.

Please make it a little deeper.

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

[the Skipper comes along and falls into the hole. He sees what's in the hole with him, jumps out and runs away]

Skipper

Aaah! Kona!

Hey Skipper! Watch out for that... [sharp cracking sound] ...tree.

S1 E10 Waiting for Watubi

Skipper

[a flash happens outside the hut] Fire! Fire!

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

Skipper

Watubi! I didn't think you were gonna make it!

Neither did I. [Ginger and Mary Ann nudge him, goes into character] Watubi here to lift Curse of Kona!

[Smacks the Skipper on his stomach with his wand]

S1 E10 Waiting for Watubi

Skipper

What did you think of my Mark Anthony?

PParrot

Terrible! Terrible! Terrible!

Don't mind him, Skipper. He just says what he's taught.

Skipper

And who's been teaching him?

I don't know.

PParrot

Gilligan! Gilligan! Gilligan!

Blabberbeak!

S1 E11 Angel on the Island

Skipper

This is your moment of truth, little buddy. Please don't spill the soup on the Howells.

Be of good cheer, Skipper. For I will... [picks up the tray of soup bowls] ...not spill the soup.

S1 E25 The Matchmaker

SPSam, the Parrot

Sam wants a cracker. Sam wants a cracker.

Skipper

Gilligan, your parrot would like another cracker.

I've already given him fifteen crackers.

Skipper

Gilligan?

[Gilligan reluctantly gets out of his hammock, goes over and tosses another cracker in Sam's cage, then goes to get back in his hammock]

Skipper

Gilligan, as soon as you get back in your hammock, he's gonna want another cracker. Why don't you give him the whole box so we can both get some sleep.

[Gilligan nods, then goes back and throws the rest of the crackers in the box into Sam's cage, then returns to his hammock]

Skipper

There. That oughta do it.

Yeah. Couldn't imagine what he'd want now.

[Puts his hat over his face]

SPSam, the Parrot

Sam wants a drink of water. Sam wants...

S1 E27 New Neighbor Sam

Skipper

There's a table in this Navy manual that tells me how much I should weigh.

Maybe it's under "tonnage".

S1 E32 Physical Fatness

Skipper

[comes out in a grass skirt for the party with the natives] Well, Gilligan... How do I look?

Like a bowl of soggy shredded wheat.

Skipper

Well, Gilligan... Since we're passing around the comments... I've seen whisk brooms that look better than you.

Ha ha.

S2 E1 Gilligan's Mother-in-Law

[dream sequence: Gilligan is the ruler of a small country. The Skipper is Secretary of the Navy]

How's my Navy holding up?

Skipper

Well since you brought it up sir, why don't you come to the window and see for yourself?

RRodriguez

Again?

[Gilligan looks out of window. Stock footage of burning sinking ship rolls]

RRodriguez

Propaganda! Vicious Propaganda!

Are you doing something about that?

Skipper

Yes sir, we are! We're teaching our sailors how to SWIM!

Good!

Skipper

And the people on shore are learning mouth-to-mouth resuscitation - without becoming emotionally involved!

RRodriguez

How can you do that?

Skipper

It ain't easy!

- "This window must face west!"

S2 E3 The Little Dictator

Skipper

There's a space up there, there's a space down there and THERE'S A SPACE BETWEEN YOUR EARS!

Skipper

- "What are you doing back there, Gilligan? When the camera goes on, they won't be able to see you!"

- "That's what I had in mind"

Skipper

- "What do you mean?"

- "Well, if I stand in front, the whole world will see me, and if the whole world sees me, that means the United States will see me, and if the United States sees me, that means my hometown will see me, and if my hometown sees me, that means my brother will see me, and if my brother sees me, he'll punch me because I'm wearing his shirt."

S2 E4 Smile, You're on Mars Camera

[Skipper and The Professor are cleaning up the feathers] Skipper, aren't you being a little hard on poor Gilligan?

Skipper

Absolutely not, Professor. All of this is his fault with those feathers. I'm just making the punishment fit the crime. What time is it?

[Looks at his watch] Yeah, it's 3 o'clock.

Skipper

[Yells back to the hut] Gilligan! Gilligan! It's time again!

[the door to the hut opens slowly, and Gilligan shuffles out, with the feathers still on his body, then makes a 90 degree turn, and stops]

[Flapping his arms] Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Cuckoo!

[Then turns and shuffles back into the hut as the door slowly closes behind him]
