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.

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--_
