- Gilligan: [Inside the Professor's hut] Could I get back the saw and the chisel that you borrowed?
- Professor Roy Hinkley: Oh yeah. I loaned the chisel to the girls, but the saw's over here some place.
- [as he looks, Gilligan looks around at the hut rather impressed, then pulls out a small palm leaf no more than three inches long, and the wall it was in immediately falls down, surprising both the Professor and Gilligan]
- Professor Roy Hinkley: Gilligan! What did you do to that wall?
- Gilligan: Oh I'm sorry, Professor. All I did was pull out this one little palm leaf, and the whole thing fell down.
- Professor Roy Hinkley: [Disbelieving] Oh, Come on!
- Gilligan: Honest, Professor! That's what happened!
- Professor Roy Hinkley: You can't tell me that pulling out one little palm leaf could make a whole wall fall down.
- [With that, he walks over to the opposing wall, with Gilligan in tow, and pulls about three feet of palm leaf out of the wall and shows it to him]
- Professor Roy Hinkley: I built this place! You remember?
- [Gilligan then looks closely at the wall, and pulls out a similar short palm leaf to the one he originally pulled out, making that wall fall, and the rest of the hut to collapse as well]
- Mary Ann Summers: I used to be a Girl Scout, and they teach you a lot!
- Ginger: I used to go with a Boy Scout, and they teach you a lot, too.
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: How are we ever going to get the hut done if you keep lending our tools out? Now I don't want you to do that again, you understand that? that's an order!
- Gilligan: Yes, sir.
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: Gilligan, anyone who comes up to you, wants anything, the answer is no, no, no, NO, NO! NOW HAVE YOU GOT THAT?
- Gilligan: [Immediately yells it] NO! I mean yes!
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: [Slams bamboo poles on ground] Gilligan!
- Thurston Howell III: Oh, Shut up, will you Gilligan!
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: You can't tell Gilligan to shut up! I'll tell him when to shut up!
- Gilligan: Thanks skipper. Now folks...
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: Shut up, Gilligan!
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: We've got to have this hut finished by tonight, there's a storm brewing out there someplace.
- Gilligan: Oh.
- [Spills water on The Skipper]
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: Thanks a lot, Gilligan! This was the only dry shirt I had left!
- Gilligan: [after the storm, Gilligan opens the door to the hut they were all taking shelter in] Skipper? What are you doing in the lagoon?
- Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby: Never mind what am I doing in the lagoon! What's the *hut* doing out here?
- Gilligan: [Enters The Profesor's hut] Hiya, Professor. What are you doing?
- Professor Roy Hinkley: [Explaining] I'm making notes for a book. It's to be a chronicle of our adventures on the island... I think it's a book people will want to buy, don't you?
- Gilligan: [Happy] Sure, I'll buy one. I'm dying to find out what happens to us.
