• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : [the parrot has dug up a small box. The Skipper picks it up and starts dusting it off]  It's a jewel box all right. Jewel... crackers.

  Sam, the Parrot : Sam wants a cracker! Sam wants a cracker!

• Sam, the Parrot : Sam wants a cracker. Sam wants a cracker.

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : Gilligan, your parrot would like another cracker.

  Gilligan : I've already given him fifteen crackers.

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : 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 when the Skipper stops him] 

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : 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] 

  Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : There. That oughta do it.

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

  [Puts his hat over his face] 

  Sam, the Parrot : Sam wants a drink of water. Sam wants...

  [drowned by the laughter, both the Skipper and Gilligan are startled enough from this to fall out of their respective hammocks] 

• Jonas 'The Skipper' Grumby : Now listen! Don't any panic body, just because the comesters are ganging!
