Betweens ?
Hi everyone,
I am wondering whether the sentence marked in red below is correct, esp. the part "betweens."
(I couldn't find it in the dictionary...)
As I know, there are expressions like "in between" and "between times."
Can I use them instead of "betweens"?
Considering all the contexts, would you comment some here for me?
Thanks

W: What about The Girl of Your Dreams after seeing Fun Book? The poster of it looks very intriguing.
M: Umm... We won’t be able to arrive at Kinos on time since it only has fifteen minutes betweens. How about Topsy Turvy at quarter to five? It’s quite a long one. It’s over two and a half hours.
