• Professor Roy Hinkley : [All the castaways are present, seated or standing around the communal table with the radio on it. They are all ad-libbing as the Professor hears the radio]  Wait a minute! Quiet! The announcement, quiet! Quiet!

  Radio Announcer : And now they are activating the robot's receptor spools to see if they can find out how it got to Hawaii. The next voice you hear will be that of the robot.

  Robot : [mechanically]  I have been on a deserted island. The putt breaks to the right.

  Thurston Howell III : Well, it was a lucky shot!

  Robot : [mechanically]  Sweep back and forth, back and forth. I was stranded. This is the way we wash our clothes.

  Radio Announcer : Ladies and gentlemen, the scientists from the laboratory are checking to see exactly what went wrong. Perhaps now we can learn the reason the recorded messages are all scrambled... A WHAT?... Ladies and gentlemen, believe it or not, a RABBIT'S FOOT was just found in the robot!

  [as the announcer continues, everyone slowly looks directly at Gilligan, with those who were seated slowly getting up. Gilligan smiles rather embarrassingly whilst shying away from their stares] 

  Radio Announcer : It demagnetized the entire receptor spools. There is now no chance of finding out where the robot has been, who reprogrammed it, or how it got to Hawaii. For that matter, how the rabbit's foot got in there in the first place!

  Professor Roy Hinkley , Thurston Howell III , Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby , Mrs. Lovey Howell , Ginger Grant , Mary Ann Summers : [Almost unbelievingly]  GILLIGAN?

  Gilligan : [Still not looking at them and still smiling embarrassingly]  I just thought it'd bring us some luck, ya know?

  [Gilligan then slips under the table while the Skipper and Professor go after him as the scene fades out] 

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [upon finding a robot]  Oh for goodness' sakes, that's just what we needed. The tin fugitive from the Wizard of Oz.

• Gilligan : Skipper, are you asleep?

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [sarcastically]  Yes.

  Gilligan : Oh, well when you wake up will you tell me if you've seen my rabbit's foot?

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : If I were ever seen talking to this refugee from a junkyard, they'd think the skipper lost all his marbles.

  Robot : The skipper lost his marbles.

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : A robot? Oh, for goodness' sake, that's just what we needed: a tin fugitive from The Wizard of Oz.
