GALLANT DEFIES CERVANTE'S WARNINGS AND ASKS FOR THIRD CUP
Not heeding warnings from her breakfast date and longtime dancing partner Ricardo Cervantes, Melanie Gallant asked the waitress at the Arts Cafe for a third cup of coffee on Sunday, March 30, 2008. Bystanders say they watched in disbelief as Gallant, a soon to be 28 year old Concordia student, downed a cup before breakfast and immediately requested the second which she chased with fruit salad and yogurt. Cervantes, a Mexican expatriate living in the Jean Talon area, mistakenly believed that asking for the bill would put an end to Gallant's coffee insanity. However, regardless of his protests, and paying no attention to public opinion, Gallant defiantly asked the waitress for a refill and drank it without remorse. In her defense, Gallant blamed schoolwork and an overly demanding social life for her behavior.
