Bucky's determined to enjoy his last night until only God knows when the war effort would be over and he'll be able to come back home. The fair's something that they can walk around for a while, have some fun - chat up a dame or two, knowing him - and it'll help get any of those nerves that come along with knowing you're headed off to war first thing in the morning, from getting the better of him. And the worry that his best friend is gonna do something stupid while he's gone.
The display, even if it ultimately fails is an impressive one because it's like nothing he's ever seen before. He's sure it's the kind of thing that might be close to things he's read about in the dime novels he likes to pick up when he can ( when he's got a little extra to spend, something that ain't going to a date or something else to impress a girl ), but it impresses him and leaves him in awe for a moment.
"Holy cow," he mutters but realizes, that might not be about the failed attempt at the flying car but instead the woman his eyes end up locking onto. There's a brief moment where he thinks he's glad he didn't set up a double date for his last night, because it frees him up to stare at this woman. Then he wonders how long it's been and if the way he's staring is gonna lose its charm all of a sudden. It also means he's lost track of Steve and isn't running off after him, either.
It's not like the crowd is sparse, but as he comes in closer to this woman and speaks to her, all the other noise around them becomes unimportant.
"It sounds like something outta a science fiction novel, am I right?" He's saying as he glances from her then to the stage and back. He's talking about what they just saw without realizing he's making a remark on something else entirely. He gives her a smile after, already working on that charm of his to keep her from walking away.
