This is a good game to play if you're trying to fall asleep or at the DMV. I know you love the A to Z game; this is for those of you who like numbers better than letters.

How to play: I'll start. You have to mention a quote from GI that mentions a specific number. If you know the episode, an extra point. Let's see how high up we can go and if we can avoid skipping anyway. I'll start with zero, the next person one, the next two, etc....

"The chances of that are absolutely ZERO" (Professor--"Birds Gotta Fly"--I think that's the episode???)

Ooh, what a fun game! I was watching a DVD just now, and I just got the next one....... from the episode "Not Guilty."

Skipper (reading from a newspaper): "...All other suspects have been cleared, and it is believed that ONE of the seven persons aboard the missing Minnow is the killer."

Oh, come on, guys! The little numbers are easy!

"Poison darts at six paces???"

from "Gilligan's Mother-in-Law"

Seven... hmm, that's a tough one.

"...sevenstranded castaways, here on Gilligan's Isle!"

"I saw all eight of them ago about half an hour."

Gilligan, "Topsy Turvy"

Love how Gilligan's syntax goes as haywire as his eyesight!

"The capsule is set to detonate at nine o'clock."

[Talking about their nails]
Ginger: "Since I got here, I broke eleven."
Mary Ann: "Eleven?!"
Ginger: "I broke one twice."

Skipper: But you don't understand! I've been bitten by the dreaded Mantis Carni! I've only got twenty four hours to live!

Gilligan: Oh, Skipper, that's the worst news I ever heard!

Skipper: But Gilligan, you were bitten first yesterday! You've only got twelve hours to live!

Gilligan: Then that's the worst news I ever heard!

from "Gilligan Gets Bugged"

I like this exchange. Gilligan is very practical!

callensensei · 07-05-2009, 05:47 PM

Gilligan: I've got the winning sweepstakes ticket! G131131!

"The Sweepstakes"

Woo-hoo! Two of 'em!

Okay, it's not exactly thirteen. But I get the feeling the writers were a bit superstitious, because I can't find a mention of thirteen anywhere in the series! If anybody can, more power to you!

lm · 07-09-2009, 03:15 PM

I don't think the ticket qualifies for 13 since "thirteen" must be vocalized--it's ok though if it's said within another larger number. Witness: for fourteen (I couldn't find 13 either! One extra point for each person who passes him in the sequence if someone finds 13!)

"Now I know why they call you 0 fourteen"
Lovey (in dream) in "The Invasion"

EvaGrubb · 07-09-2009, 05:33 PM

I was so happy I finally found 14, but you beat me! OK, I just have to share my "14" too, from "The Big Gold Strike":

Ginger: "I was just wondering..."
Mr. Howell: "Everyone's been wondering, and the answer is no."
Ginger: "No?"
Mr. Howell: "That's right; a fourteen-carat no!"

...now on to searching for 15!

But I am gonna look for a better 13, too!
