omes Bill.
_Leader--_
THIS TIME, THERE IS NO TIME LOST BY THE INFATUATED BLINKER,
IN GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE REVELRY.
103--Any different amusement device.
Blinker with Florence--having a grand time. Show Bill aloof
but watchful, evading discovery carefully.
_Leader--_
THE WALKING BEAM OF A CONEY ISLAND BOAT MAKES JUST ENOUGH
NOISE TO ENABLE TWO TO CONVERSE COZILY ALOOF FROM THEIR
NEIGHBORS.
104--By walking beam.
Wide enough to show several couples--Florence and Blinker
among them; narrows down to those two, after Bill is
established in background, watchful but not interfering.
105--Close-up of Blinker.
Blinker, in spell of love, says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"FLORENCE--I--LOVE YOU!"
Waits, breathless.
106--Close-up of Florence.
She laughs a little tremulously but recklessly and says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY."
She begins to hum.
107--Close-up of Blinker.
He is a little impatient, and says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"I AM RICH. I CAN GIVE YOU MANY THINGS--"
He is interrupted.[55]
[Footnote 55: Sketchy, because in this case, "O. Henry" leaders are
the important thing--and they give sufficient clue to the action
required.]
108--Close-up of Florence.
She laughs a little, and says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY."
She is playing with him, and yet telling truth.
109--Close-up of Blinker.
He is impatient at this repetition. Says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"I DON'T LIKE YOU TO KEEP SAYING THAT!"
He is annoyed. She is not taking him seriously.
110--Close-up of Florence.
She looks at him--wonders--says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"WHY SHOULDN'T I SAY IT? THEY DO!"
He is puzzled.
111--Close-up of Blinker.
Surprised--puzzled--angered--says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"WHO ARE--'THEY'?"
Jealous and anxious.
112--Close-up of Florence.
Surprised--innocent. Says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"WHY, THE MEN I MEET."
What is he driving at?
113--Both--in wider view.
Florence wondering. He changes expression. Growing tension.
Asks her:
_Cut-in leader--_
"WHERE DO YOU MEET--THESE MEN?"
She looks wide-eyed--surprised--answers:
_Cut-in leader--_
"I MEET THEM--AS I DID YOU--"
Blinker aghast. Asks:
_Cut-in leader--_
