Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- It's hard to believe that, after serving in the U.S. Navy for years and around battleships, that Gilligan wouldn't know what nitroglycerin was. Navy personnel are always trained in ordinance and it's primary construction ie., chemicals and compounds used in their manufacture. Edit
- Had Gilligan really swallowed nitroglycerin, he would've died from system shock and internal hemorraging almost instantaneously, let alone exploding. Edit
- In the beginging Gilligan gets his water from the lagoon, but the lagoon is salt water, its connected to the ocean. Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- Lovey: Gilligan? Gilligan: I can't move. Lovey: Oh you poor boy. Where does it hurt? Gilligan: I don't feel a thing. Lovey: You don't feel a thing? Gilligan: Mrs. Howell, I might blow up! Lovey: Oh don't you dare get angry with me. Gilligan: I mean blow up for real. I drank some- Lovey: Oh that's why you don't feel a thing. You've been dipping into Mr. Howell's private stock. Demon rum is your worse enemy. Gilligan: No, I didn't drink rum, I drank nitroglycerine. Lovey: Oh mixed drinks are even worse. Edit
- Gilligan: Hey Professor, great news. They stopped. Professor: Who has stopped, Gilligan? Skipper: The spouts stopped spouting. Gilligan: The volcano stopped volcanoing. Professor: Erupting. Gilligan: That too. Professor: Unfortunately, it simply means that the gases Professor:are gathering force and could explode at any moment. Skipper: That's terrible! Professor: However, there is a way to neutralize the volcano by countering its energy force with an equal energy force. Gilligan: Oh that's terrible! Professor: No, that's good. Gilligan: Sounds terrible. Professor: In layman's terms, if I could explode a bomb in a tunnel near the base of the volcano its force would blow it out the same way you'd blow out this candle. Skipper: But Professor, where are you gonna get a bomb that big? Professor: From materials right here on the island. As a matter fact, I'm making a crude form of nitroglycerin powerful enough to blow off that entire mountaintop. Gilligan: You're making nitroglycerine? Professor: Well yes. Sulfuric acid from the crystallized copper in the caves, glycerol from papaya seeds, and potassium nitrate from the rocks at the lagoon. Gilligan: You hear that? He's making nitroglycerine. Professor: Any questions? Gilligan: Yeah. I have a question. Professor: Good, Gilligan. What's your question? Gilligan: What's nitroglycerine? Edit
- Gilligan: Sometimes I wish the earth would just open up and swallow us up. (There is an earthquake) Skipper, that never happened before. Skipper: I hope it never happens again. Gilligan: I know something else that's never happened before. It never snowed. Skipper: Gilligan, it doesn't snow on a tropical island. Gilligan: Yeah, look. (flakes fall from the sky.) Skipper: I wonder if we're on the Christmas Island. Gilligan: I'm trying to make some snow balls, but it won't pack. Professor: It isn't snow, Gilligan. It's volcanic ash. Edit
