Leading With Care: On Gilligan\u2019s Island<\/strong><\/p>\nPreamble:<\/p>\n
It is now time for our Leading with Care presentation, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019s like nothing you\u2019ve ever seen before!<\/p>\n
But please understand that although we may have a little fun with the policy today, the message is important for the continued safety of our church family and those we serve. Watch and learn, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
Leading With Care: On Gilligan\u2019s Island<\/p>\n
(Play the \u201cGilligan\u2019s Island\u2019 theme song.\u00a0 Gilligan & the Skipper appear at top of verse 2; rest of cast appear at, \u201cfive passengers set sail that day \u2026\u201d\u00a0 Pantomime the storm at verse 3, \u201cThe weather started getting rough \u2026\u201d, mimicking being tossed around on stage, etc.\u00a0 Then cast members step forward, acknowledge crowd as their character is mentioned.)<\/p>\n
(After the song ends the pantomime continues with the Howell\u2019s \u2018chat\u2019 quietly with each other counting their money; Gilligan, Mary Ann & Ginger \u2018chat\u2019 excitedly as Gilligan picks up picnic basket; Professor notices something on the ground, bends to examine; Skipper notices Prof\u2019s actions, then turns to Gilligan]<\/p>\n
Skipper: What are you up to, little buddy?<\/p>\n
Gilligan: The girls & I are going on a picnic to the other side of the island.<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: I\u2019ve packed us nuts, and fruit, and I made my famous coconut cream pie!<\/p>\n
Ginger: And I\u2019m the scenery.<\/p>\n
Prof: I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s a good idea.<\/p>\n
Thurston: But she\u2019s always the scenery. (Lovey glares) Sorry Lovey, here (hands her some money).<\/p>\n
Prof: No, I\u2019m referring to these prints I\u2019ve found here in the sand.<\/p>\n
Skipper: What is it, Professor?<\/p>\n
Lovey: Looks perfectly harmless to me.<\/p>\n
Prof: Why, Mrs. Howell, don\u2019t you realize what this means?<\/p>\n
(everyone reacts, looks stunned, confused, shrug shoulders, etc.)<\/p>\n
Prof: Why, judging from the unusual size and shocking depth of these footprints, and the apparent direction and pace of perambulation, before you can go picnicking anywhere, you\u2019d better prepare a (look to audience) RISK ASSESSMENT.<\/p>\n
(Mary Ann cowers beside Gilligan, Ginger cowers beside Skipper, Thurston cowers beside Lovey for protection)<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Do you mean, Professor, that we can\u2019t just do whatever we want \u2026<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: whenever we want \u2026<\/p>\n
Ginger: with whomever we want …<\/p>\n
Lovey: without completing one of these? (brings Risk Assessment form out of purse) Well, that\u2019s ridiculous!<\/p>\n
Prof: Mrs. Howell, that\u2019s precisely what I mean.<\/p>\n
Thurston: Now look here, my good man. I\u2019m Thurston Howell the Third, and I don\u2019t fill in any forms. I have people to do that.<\/p>\n
Prof: Mr. Howell, if you want to stay safe, I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll have to. Why, all our lives may depend on it.<\/p>\n
(Thurston harrumphs indignantly)<\/p>\n
Lovey: Oh there there, maybe you can pay someone to do the form for you.<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Do we all have to fill them out?<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: For everything we do around here?<\/p>\n
Ginger: What do you consider, risky, Professor?<\/p>\n
Lovey: My yes, are we safe here?!<\/p>\n
Prof: Absolutely. But we must understand that certain activities involve RISK.<\/p>\n
Skipper: Well, like what sorts of things, Professor?<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: Oh, how can a friendly picnic possibly have any risk?<\/p>\n
Ginger: Come on, Professor, just one teensy, weensy little picnic?<\/p>\n
Thurston (to Lovey): Where in the blazes were the tickets on sale for this picnic?<\/p>\n
Lovey: We almost went down in a storm on the Thames, and he\u2019s worried about a picnic!<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Yah, she\u2019s right \u2013 Skipper, whatever happened to the pre-tour Risk Assessment?<\/p>\n
Skipper: Well, I thought YOU did one\u2026<\/p>\n
Gilligan: \u2026 I didn\u2019t do one \u2013 I thought YOU were going to do one \u2026<\/p>\n
Skipper: No, little buddy, YOU were supposed to do one \u2026<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Uh-uh, I\u2019m not trained on the paperwork, YOU were supposed to do one \u2026<\/p>\n
(they keep arguing until cut off by Thurston)<\/p>\n
Thurston: I KNEW we should have just bought our own boat & crew!<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: Well, it\u2019s not Gilligan\u2019s fault if he wasn\u2019t properly trained.<\/p>\n
Ginger: Ooo, training is everything. I mean, that\u2019s the difference between a Golden Globe \u2026 and an Oscar!<\/p>\n
Prof: There are important things to consider in every case. Mary Ann, do you know for certain that those nuts and fruits are safe for everyone to eat? I mean, did you check for allergies?<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: Well, no, but I\u2019m sure we\u2019d find out one way or another.<\/p>\n
Prof: And what about food preparation? Did you wash your hands, and ascertain that the utensils & working area were clean?<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: I brushed off the sand as best I could. Back home in Kansas, we just wipe our hands on our pants.<\/p>\n
(Howell\u2019s & Ginger turn up noses\/cringe; men just nod in agreement, \u2018oh yah, that works\u2019, etc.)<\/p>\n
Prof: And Ginger, were you really planning on hiking to the other side of the island in that gown, with those shoes?<\/p>\n
Ginger: What\u2019s the problem? They match.<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Well, you do look like an Incident Report ready to happen.<\/p>\n
Skipper: Good thinking, little buddy.<\/p>\n
Prof: And Gilligan, as the leader of the picnic group, have you considered the appropriate ratios of leader to number of those in your party? What about your Criminal Record Check? We haven\u2019t checked all your references yet. And what about the vulnerability of those you\u2019re caring for?<\/p>\n
Gilligan: They look pretty sturdy to me.<\/p>\n
Thurston: On second thought, think I\u2019ll go back to our cabin and lock the door. Coming, Lovey?<\/p>\n
Lovey: Oh you\u2019re not worried, are you dear?<\/p>\n
Prof: As long as we\u2019re prepared, and we\u2019ve considered all the risks, we\u2019re perfectly free to proceed with virtually any plan.<\/p>\n
Ginger: You mean, like a quiet, scenic picnic.<\/p>\n
Mary Ann: Or sharing a meal together.<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Or a simple little hike in a ball gown.<\/p>\n
Skipper: Not quite, little buddy.<\/p>\n
Prof: But about these footprints. We\u2019re obviously not alone on the island (everyone looks around, wide-eyed, scared & suspicious).\u00a0 Ladies, you stay here. Mr. Howell, you come with me and we\u2019ll conduct a reconnaissance mission.<\/p>\n
Skipper: And Gilligan, you come with me and we\u2019ll conduct a reconnaissance mission.<\/p>\n
Gilligan: Ok, but I really think we oughta scout around a bit first.<\/p>\n
(girls exit stage right, Prof. & Thurston exit stage left; Skipper & Gilligan exit stage right)<\/p>\n
Voiceover: Sadly, they remained on the island, marooned there forever. What a positive difference it would have made had they invested in training and planned ahead appropriately for the tour. Oh well \u2026<\/p>\n
