I still needed more paparazzi footage of the couple sitting at some restaurant. I had several options. At first, we were going to shoot it at Marq's friend's restaurant in El Segondo. But the restaurant wasn't available the day we wanted it so I had to come up with something else. I was thinking of Pain Quotidien in WeHo at first, but then thought of the Gelato Bar where Jamie works. It has a nice little terrace and looks very European, perfect to make the audience believe we are in the south of France!
Alex and Douglas meet Danny and I at my place. We all drive to Studio City. The people at the Gelato Bar had been warned in advance by Jamie that we would be filming the place from the other side of the street. Alex puts on the suit we got at Banana Republic last week. She looks very Grace Kelley. The whole thing takes us 30 minutes and we out of there by 10A. A woman in the coffee shops asks us where we got Alex' suit and offers to buy it from us. I tell her I can't give her a discount because I was going to return it to get the full price back. She says she doesn't mind and writes out a check. Only later when I deposit the check at the bank to I realize the lady was Gail Silverton, the owner of the Gelato Bar!!!! Too funny.
I got all the footage I needed and can finally start editing my first cut ...
