Trivia
ADD TRIVIA- At various times Gilligan, Mary Ann, and Ginger are shown dialing numbers at random in hopes of finding a stranger who will help them off of the island. Why don't they just dial the phone numbers of the people that they know? Mary Ann has relatives in Kansas, and I'm sure Ginger has associates in Hollywood. Edit

ADD QUOTES- Professor: Let's cross the yellow vine over the green vine. Skipper: Right. The yellow over the green. Professor: Now we know we picked up Hawaii on the green wire and Australia on the yellow. Skipper: And certainly Peru came in very clearly over the brown wire. Professor: That's right. That should mean that the Western Hemisphere should come in over the brown, the yellow, or the green wire. Skipper: And certainly the United States should come in very clearly on the red, white, and the blue. Professor: Skipper, telephone wires just don't work that way. Now the key to the pattern seems to be the red wire. Skipper: But the red wire must be a direct line to Moscow. Professor: Skipper, I said that telephone wires simple don't work that way. Skipper: All right, Professor, but I sure hope you know what you're doing. We spent a lot of man hours putting these colored vines up. Professor: Well it's the only way to solve any problem: logic. Now using the deductive form of reasoning the wires used more frequently should relate to the United States which has more telephones per capita than any county in the world. Now the combination of the color with other colors should indicate a progressive ratio scale with other countries, proportionate to the percentage of phones located in those countries. It's really very easy, isn't it? Skipper: Easy for you. Difficult for me. Edit
- Professor: You know if hadn't occurred to me, that it might be difficult to find a call with a language we could understand. Ginger: I speak a little Spanish. Lovey: I speak fluent French and Italian. Skipper: Well I'm pretty good with a few of the island dialects. Professor: Of course, I speak Latin. Thurston: That'll help if we happen to get a pharmacist! Mary Ann: I'm afraid I can only speak English. Gilligan: I know some slang. Thurston: I know the universal language: money. Edit
- Professor: Each one of these telephone lines is capable of transmitting 50 calls simultaneously. Right now, there are over 2,000 calls being carried through them. Ginger: Just think of all the girls being called for dates now. Gilligan: Think of all the wrong numbers. Thurston: Think of all that income. Edit
