94--Back to 92.
Florence looks up slowly. Bill figures that she will give him up now, and gives a quick, hunted look around as Florence closes the weapon and lays it on the table, fully convinced that she has been lied to. She stands looking down at the weapon, her face brooding. Suspense. What will she do about it?
95--Roof of house. Night.
"Cop," with another. No use looking further. Separate, one going down into tenement again, other across roof toward another descent.
96--Ella's room--looking toward door. Gas-lit.
Bill in an agony of terror as he hears policeman tramping toward door. Florence looks up, and moves toward Bill, who cowers. The door starts to open. Florence pities Bill now.
97--Ella's room--from hall, through opening door. Gas-lit.
The policeman is going to be crafty; he opens door, very softly, and as he peers in, he sees--Florence slipping her arms about Bill's neck, giving him a sisterly kiss as she says:
_Cut-in leader--_
"GOODNIGHT, BUDDY. GIVE THE KIDDIES A KISS FROM ME."
Convinced, the officer draws away and goes from scene. Bill can be seen touching cheek Florence kissed, looking at finger as if expecting it to show the mark of contact.
98--Close-up in room, from another angle, to get Florence in profile.
Bill slowly and reverently takes Florence's hand, and with devotion in every line, says fervently:
_Cut-in leader--_
"KID--YOU'RE _CERTAINLY_ WHITE! AND YOU _ARE_ 'LITTLE SIS'
TO ME FROM NOW ON!"
Saying nothing more, but looking at her with devoted eyes, as she stands smiling her gentle smile, he goes to fire escape, and as he descends--Fade slowly out.
_Leader--_
BILL BECOMES THE FAITHFUL WATCHDOG, ASKING ONLY A PAT, AND IS ETERNALLY VIGILANT LEST HARM COME TO THE OBJECT OF HIS DEVOTION.
Diaphragm in:
99--Park entrance.
Florence waiting. Bill is coming down path. He sees her and advances--but she meets Blinker, who is gay and delighted.
They go.
100--Close-up of Bill.
No jealousy--but suspicion. Bill thinks such a man can mean no good. He starts off.
101--Wider view.
Bill seen to be shadowing Blinker and Florence.
_Leader--_
CONVINCED THAT "A GUY" OF BLINKER'S _APPARENT_ AFFLUENCE CAN MEAN NO GOOD TO A "SKIRT LIKE SIS," THE WATCHDOG INVADES FAIRYLAND.
102--Steeplechase Pier.
Crowd coming off boat. Florence and Blinker. After them, shadowing, comes Bill.
_Leader--_
THIS TIME, THERE IS NO TIME LOST BY THE INFATUATED BLINKER, IN GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT OF THE REVELRY.
103--Any different amus.e.m.e.nt 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.
