"
Comedy as Blinker rises, then sits as he sees she is joking.
They begin to "get together."
50--Same scene, different angle.
He asks Florence:
_Cut-in leader--_
"ARE YOU GOING TO CONEY ISLAND?"
She comes back at him:
_Cut-in leader--_
"CAN'T YOU SEE I'M RIDING A BICYCLE UP THE WOOLWORTH TOWER?"
He is abashed, then gets her idea, and says quite
attentively:
_Cut-in leader--_
"I'VE NEVER BEEN TO CONEY. MAYN'T WE SEE IT TOGETHER?"
She is surprised, then appraises him and temporizes.
_Leader--_
IN DUE COURSE ONE IS DASHED INTO THE WALKS AND AVENUES OF
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

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.
