Here's how things pick up in the script with the next scene:
27B ANOTHER ANGLE
As he strides cut onto the sidewalk, starts carrying her toward the side of the building.
27C EXT. BLUE WHALE - ALLEY
As Joe, with Daphne slung over his shoulder, struggling playfully, turns in from the street, starts up the dark alley to where his big, old four-door Buick is parked.

And yes, that's pretty much the way things play except outside Joe continues more unscripted stuff with his "Gar... gar... gar..." and after both he and Daphne laugh, he asks "Havin' fun?" and laughs some more. And Joe doesn't carry Daphne up a dark alley because his car is actually parked on the street. And as he carries Daphne closer to his car, he repeats that "Gar... We're gonna do a little night fishin', milady." And then we get the unscripted dialogue from the following moment that appears in the original '91 series slideshow:
Ep #1 (Extended) - Joe (to Daphne): 'Here's the boat - we're
gonna dock here right now.' And as they laughingly disappear into the back seat of the car, that's where the entire sequence ends in the pilot. At least in the extended version of the pilot that MPI released (on NBC things ended much earlier - after Willie's truck started and drove away, leaving Joe watching them). But there's more in the script. And that will be coming up in the next post...
