on the way to a
Coney Island boat.
42--Deck chair or camp stool, on Coney Island boat.
Florence is staring out over water. Turns. Sees something.
43--Deck location.
Blinker coming out of mob--catching hat, effect of tipping
it.
44--Deck, wider view.
Florence affects to be freezing. Blinker notices her, and is
abashed.
45--Close-up of Florence.
Florence freezing, says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"HOW DARE YOU LIFT YOUR HAT TO ME, SIR?"
Haughty.
46--Close-up of Blinker.
Blinker stammers:
_Cut-in leader--_
"I DIDN'T--"

47--Close-up of Florence.
Florence freezing, yet eyes twinkle.
48--Wider-angle view.
Blinker quickly corrects himself by adding:

He is abashed, then gets her idea, and says quite

She is surprised, then appraises him and temporizes.
_Leader--_

FAIRYLAND GONE INTO VAUDEVILLE.
51--Steeplechase Amusement Park.
A long view to show the "atmosphere."[50] Florence and
Blinker in the crowd.
[Footnote 50: The boat- and amusement-park scenes can only be
lightly sketched in, as much depends on the director and his
locations, so skeleton action is given.]
52--Closer view.
Blinker and Florence. "Tough" with girl. "Tough" blows cigar
smoke in Blinker's face. Florence tactfully prevents a
"scrap." She can't afford to have cavalier "pinched." Off
they go.
53--Some open-air amusement, as "The Whip."
Blinker and Florence on--he is disgusted. She is aflame with
