Quotes
Skipper: What are you doing, Gilligan? Gilligan: Mr. Howell's teaching me how to play golf. He even gave me this club to use. Skipper: And I gave you this hammer to use. Gilligan: I just took a little time off to practice my driving. Skipper: Well, if you'd like to practice your driving, Gilligan, Start on those nails! Gilligan: Yeah, I'm president of the Tehechapuku Oil and Mining Corporation. Skipper: Tehechapuku Oil and Mining? What is that? Mr. Howell: Well, That's two hundred acres of land in Dust Bowl, Oklahoma. Skipper: Dust Bowl? I never heard of it. What part of Oklahoma is that in. Mr. Howell: Well, sometimes it's north, and sometimes it's south. It depends upon which way the wind is blowing. Skipper: In other words, Gilligan is the proud owner of a worthless oil company. Mr. Howell: What do you mean "worthless"? I got three million dollars for it!
 * Gilligan: Hi, Skipper.
 * Mr. Howell: Well, you see, I settled the debt by giving Gilligan one of my oil companies.
