WHAT
SHALL I DO?"
Horrible! Blinker in spasm of anguish:
_Cut-in leader--_
"BURN IT! RAZE IT! DO WHAT YOU LIKE--BUT I TELL YOU--IT'S
TOO LATE, MAN--IT'S TOO LATE!--"
He flings away.
140--Ella's room.
Bill chatting with Ella. Seems to have good feeling for
her--devouring hot-cake she has made as he talks with
Florence, who is sitting up. He takes out card, says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"THAT GUY YOU WAS WID--IS HE ON THE SQUARE?--HE AST ME TO
CALL ON HIM--"
Florence suddenly recalls all that has happened. She turns
her face away, unable to control tears of despondency.
141--Blinker's apartment.
Oldport goes. Blinker "chases" his man, sits in bad mood,
sour and lovelorn by turns.
142--Ella's room.
Bill dismayed--demands what he has said. Florence sits
up--controls herself. Says, gently:
_Cut-in leader--_
"HE--HE ISN'T GOING TO--SEE ME ANY MORE--I GUESS."
Bill is all anger--"Why?" She tells him:
_Cut-in leader--_
"I DON'T THINK--OUR--WAYS OF LIVING--"
She breaks down.
143--Close-up of Bill.
"The son of a brat!"--so he has chucked "Little Sis" has he,
the rich piker? Well, Bill can see about that! Of course he
thinks the worst of Blinker.
