Paris Chronicles Day 2 Part 3
We’re at the hotel a half hour before the appointed time. Taking advantage of this free time, we busy ourselves getting all the information (addresses, phone numbers, e-mail’s, etc.) into a notebook so we wouldn’t lose any and to have them all in one place for future reference.
Busy at our task, the Renault Traffic production van arrives. Jaime is with them. It’s 3:30 p.m., we’re all dead tired from lack of sleep, can barely keep our eyes open and here’s Jaime, fresh as a daisy. Dressed impeccably, custom made dark suit, pale pink shirt, coordinating mauve tie, curls blowing in the wind. How does he do it? Must be something he eats. We should patent it; I’m sure we’d find a market.
Finishing up with my notes, Jaime comes over, trying to see what I’m writing. He says, “What are you doing?” He is obviously in need of attention. He wants us to pay attention to him, talk to him, and not write in our little notebook. So while Gaby gets changed and made up for the next scene, we give Jaime all our attention.
He tells us we were too far from everyone and that we should move closer. We hadn’t wanted to bother anyone, so we are sitting quietly out of the way. Jaime asks us if we found the location Okay. I admit that we’d had some problems, as the directions hadn’t been very precise. I say, “Just like CSI, we were able to pick up all the clues to get us where we needed to be. Grissom couldn’t have done better himself, HA HA.”
This starts us talking about TV shows; we discover that most of us are 24 and Heroes fans. Jaime and I especially of Heroes, we get into a really philosophical discussion about downloading episodes from the Internet and the variety of super powers. Everyone else just stares at us.
While we’re talking, Jaime picks up Eva’s video camera and starts recording. While recording, Jaime is doing the voice over. “At this moment, I’m using Eva’s video equipment.” Turning to me, he says: “How are you, Madame President?” He questions all of us as he continues to film, joking, we can’t stop laughing.
Just about then, Gaby comes back for her scene. Jaime says, “Women, always keeping us waiting while they do wardrobe and make-up, Shish.”
They film the scenes. Sebastian leaves through the garden of the hotel and Alexa leaves from the front, so they don’t see each other. We’re starting to worry about these two, somebody find them a map, please!
