Near the end of the episode-Gilligan takes two bites from a cracker, but when he hands it to the parrot, the cracker is complete again.
While the Professor claims that parrots only repeat what they hear, he later insists that the parrot was reciting from a newspaper article it somehow read.
The paper told the guys the truth about the gangsters, but no one ever said that the newspaper was the only source of the parrot's knowledge- it's possible that the parrot had actually been around the gangsters, or at least around people who talked about them.
Gilligan: Sam's got all the crackers. What else could he want now? Sam: Sam wants a drink of water.
Skipper: We'll take him over to our hut. Gilligan can sleep with him. Gilligan: Wait a minute. Is that a boy parrot or a girl parrot? Professor: His name's Sam, isn't it? Gilligan: Oh yeah, I was just afraid he might lay an egg.
Thurston: Why doesn't that silly bird talk? Gilligan: Maybe he's taking the fifth.
Gilligan: I hope this parrot isn't a stool pigeon.
Ginger: What a wonderful invention: instant men.
Professor: Obviously they got to this island by boat. Now why couldn't we sneak on board, borrow their boat, and take off for Hawaii? Gilligan: That'd be stealing. Professor: These men are gangsters. If they find us, they'll kill us, you said so yourself. Do you still think it's stealing? Gilligan: Like you said, let's borrow their boat.
Skipper: Now, listen don't any panic-body, just because the come-sters are ganging.
Theme of episode: Parrots are like computers: The information you get out is only as good as the information you put in.
