Robert had everyone meet at the studio. He had set it up to look like two separate rooms for the first outline where Lisa and Horse meet on the internet.
Cameras were situated in each room as they conversed with each other. It was made to look like they were chatting with each other but nobody could hear them or see what they were typing.
Robert did six scenes like this over the course of three days. Each scene lasted two hours as it would in real life.
All we could see was the two of them at their computers typing. Robert explained that later on, he would insert text from each of them onto the screen and it would look like they were going back and forth.
Day four was when things got interesting. This was the time when Lisa and Horse meet for the first time.
Robert had changed the studio to look like the outside and inside of a restaurant where they meet.
Robert yelled action and the cameras whirred.
Lisa was standing in front of the restaurant wearing a black dress with the hemline above her knees. It was evident she wasn't wearing a bra. They were supposed to meet at 7:30.
As she is waiting, Horse shows up at exactly 7:30 and walks over to Lisa and introduces himself.
He says, "Hi Lisa! I am Bartholomew but you know I prefer my friends call me Horse. You are more lovely in person. I hope you weren't waiting too long. Shall we go inside?"
Lisa responds, "I've only been here a few minutes. You are taller than I expected and cuter. I didn't have a chance to eat all day and I am starving."
They go inside and Robert yells cut.
The scene moves inside as the waiter sits them at a booth in the corner.
The waitress brings over some wine to sample and they select two to have with their meal.
Lisa then orders lobster while Horse orders a steak.
Over dinner, they make small talk and get to know one another.
Horse says to Lisa, "You know when we were chatting on the computer, you looked like someone I know but I can't remember who."
Lisa answers, "People say I look like Linda Hamilton and Nancy McKeon but I don't see the resemblance."
Horse tells her that wasn't it but that she does look like them.
After they spend almost two hours having dinner, they leave the restaurant. Once outside, Lisa asks, "Horse, it is such a beautiful night, why don't we stroll down the avenue. My place isn't far from here and if you like, you can come up for a night cap."
Horse looks at her and says, "I would like that. We can walk off our dinner and have a cordial afterwards."
