Wait a sec! This is the kind of girl Warner wants!
Someone serious!
Someone lawyerly!
Someone who wears black when nobody's dead!
Girls, I have a completely brilliant plan!
What you want, Warner
What you want is me
But you need to see me in a brand new domain
Well it's plain, Warner
In a different setting, you will see you're getting
All of this plus a brain!
I'll meet you there at Harvard with a book in my hand
Big sturdy book, big wordy book
Full of words I'll understand
And right there is where you'll see it too
Warner, what you want is right in front of you!
What you want! It's clear
What you want! Right here
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
What you want! It's clear
What you want! Right here
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
Step one, he's off to Harvard law
So I get in there too
Step two!
Make Warner reassess
Impress him with my high IQ
Step three!
We throw a great big wedding
And invite all Delta Nu!
That's great, nice plan. Now can we think this through?
Harvard Law School?
I have a 4.0 average.
Yeah, in Fashion Merchandising.
What makes you think you can do this?
Love! I'm doing this for love!
And love will see me through
Yes with love on my side, I can't lose
And Harvard can't refuse
A love so pure and true
Don't lawyers feel love too?
Even if they do
What you want, sweetheart is no easy thing
If you're going to swing it, it will wreck your senior spring, yeah it's true
First, you'll need an LSAT score of more than 174
So no more parties for you
You'll need a killer essay, or do not even hope
And glowing letters from your betters
Any chance you know the pope?
Oh, no? Too bad cause that would be a coup
And you've got a lot of work in front of you
What you want! Yes I know
What you want! Even so
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
What you want
Girl, you go!
What you want
No, really, go!
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
Law school?
Yes, Daddy, law school!
Good God, why? Law school is for boring, ugly, serious people!
And you, Button, are none of those things.
What you want, Button, hey you just say the word!
But what you want's absurd and costs a whole lot of swag
And hell why?
Button, when you can stay right here
Pursue a film career
How 'bout a nice burken bag?
Yes, the east coast is foreign
There's no film studios
It's cold and dark, no valet parking
All the girls have different noses!
Christ, Button! It's like the damned frontier
Tell me what's out there that you can't get right here?
Guys, love! Love?
I'm going there for love. Good God!
A love I have to win
I can live without sun or valet
I can't just walk away
Betray what might have been
Fine, okay, I'll pay your way if you get in!
What you want! Make good grades
What you want! And it's paid
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
Hey everybody, it's the spring fling beer bash extreme!
EXTREME!
Not for you! Time to study! Go!
This year's theme: Jamaican me crazy!
What you want, you wanna be out because the sun she warm
What you want, you wanna be study-stuck inside your dorm
What you want, you wanna be partyin' with us all night long
What you want, you wanna be strong
Be strong!
Oh-oh
What you want, you wanna be groovin' up and shake the room
What you want, you wanna be provin' something and to whom
What you want, you wanna be wonderin' where you your youth has gone
What you want, you wanna hold on
Hold on!
Oh-oh
What you want, you wanna be breathin' in the healthy air- Love! I'm doing this for love!
What you want, you wanna be chasin' him and he don' care
What you want, you wanna ignore the pity in their looks- And that's how i'll survive! Here you go.
What you want, you wanna say sorry, gotta hit me books- I said no, go away.
What you want, you wanna be sittin' like a lonely child- Right here is where I'll stay.
What you want you wanna be drivin' all the fellas wild? What you want, you wanna be feelin' good to be alive- Until that happy day, that day I hear them say:
175!
175
175!
175, 175!
So, gentlemen,
Harvard Law grants admission to Adam Cohen and Sandick Padamena.
And now, Ms. Elle Woods, who was kind enough to send in a headshot.
We should admit her, for reasons of, um multiculturalism!
Multiculturalism!
Oh gentlemen, please! Get a hold of yourselves!
Oh, look at that! Oh, what a shame!
She didn't bother sending in a personal essay!
How's this for a personal essay?
What you want! Goodness me!
What you want! Security!
What you want is right in-- Who are you?
I'm what you want, Harvard
I'm the girl for you!
And to prove it's true
We all flew here on Jet Blue
Thank you!
Thank you!
This is what Elle Woods inspires
Everyone admires her
And Harvard should too
This is NOT a personal essay!
No, an essay's so boring and so much does not fit
So we're appearing live, right here
Making clear you must admit
That Elle Woods should join the chosen few
Harvard, what you want is right in front of--
May I approach!
Uh-huh! Oh yeah! Go Elle!
Now see here, Ms. Woods
You can't just barge in here with singing and dancing and ethnic movement.
This is a very flashy presentation, but I still don't see one reason to admit you!
How about love?
Have you ever been in love?
Cause if you have, you'll know
That love never accepts a defeat
No challenge it can't meet
No place it cannot go
Don't say no to a woman in love
Don't laugh when I say love
Don't think that I'm naive
Because even a person who's smart
Can listen to their heart
Can listen and believe
So believe in what love can achieve
Do you believe? I do!
Do you believe? Me too!
Yes, we believe in love!
How 'bout you?
Welcome to Harvard!
What you want
What you want
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
What you want
What you want
What you want is right in front of you, front of you
What you want
