ELLE
(Spoken)
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!

(sung)
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!

GIRLS
What you want.

ELLE
It's clear.

GIRLS
What you want.

ELLE
Right here.

GIRLS
What you want is right in front of you, front of you.
What you want.

ELLE
It's clear.

GIRLS
What you want.

ELLE
Right here.

GIRLS
What you want is right in front of you, front of you.

ELLE
Step one, he's off to Harvard Law, so I get in there too.

GIRLS
Step two!

ELLE
Make Warner reassess.
Impress him with my high IQ.

GIRLS
Step three!

ELLE
We throw a great big wedding

ELLE and GIRLS
And invite all Delta Nu!

ADVISOR
(Spoken)
That's great, nice plan. Now can we think this through?
Harvard Law School?

ELLE
(Spoken)
I have a 4.0 average.

ADVISOR
(Spoken)
Yeah, in Fashion Merchandising.
What makes you think you can do this?

ELLE
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?

ADVISOR
(spoken)
Even if they do...,

(sung)
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.

GIRLS
What you want.

ELLE
Yes, I know.

GIRLS
What you want.

ELLE
Even so,

GIRLS
What you want is right in front of you, front of you.

GIRLS
What you want.
(Girl, you go!)
What you want.

ADVISOR
No, really, go!

GIRLS
What you want is right in front of you, front of you

FATHER
(spoken)
Law school?

ELLE
(spoken)
Yes, Daddy, law school!

FATHER
(spoken)
Good God, why? Law school is for boring, ugly, serious people,
And you, Button, are none of those things.

(sung)
What you want, Button, 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?

MOTHER
How 'bout a nice burken bag?

FATHER
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!
Right, Button! It's like the damned frontier

PARENTS
Tell me what's out there that you can't get right here?

ELLE
Guys, love!

PARENTS
Love?

ELLE
I'm going there for love.

PARENTS
Good God!

ELLE
A love I have to win.
I can live without sun or valet.
I can't just walk away, betray what might have been.

FATHER
Fine, okay, I'll pay your way if you get in!

ALL
What you want.

PARENTS
Make good grades.

ALL
What you want.

PARENTS
And it's paid.

ALL
What you want is right in front of you, front of you.

SORORITY GIRL
(spoken)
Hey, everybody, it's the spring fling beer bash extreme!

FRAT GUYS
(spoken)
EXTREME!

ADVISOR
(spoken)
Not for you! Time to study! Go!

SORORITY GIRL
(spoken)
This year's theme: Jamaican me crazy!!! Ha ha ha.

JAMAICAN VOICE
What you want, you wanna be out because the sun is 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.

ADVISOR
(spoken)
Be strong!

ALL
Oh-oh.

ADVISOR
(spoken)
134. Not good enough. Try again. Go!

JAMAICAN VOICE
What you want, you wanna be groovin' up and shake the room.
What you want, you wanna be provin' something at the room.
What you want, you wanna be wonderin' where your youth has gone.
What you want, you wanna hold on.

ADVISOR
Hold on!

ALL
Oh-oh.

ADVISOR
(spoken)
151. Still not Harvard material. Once again. Go!

JAMAICAN VOICE
What you want, you wanna be breathing in the healthy air.
What you want, you wanna be chasing him and he don't care.
What you want, you wanna ignore the pain of failure.
What you want, you wanna say sorry, go and hit the road,
What you want, you wanna be singin' like a lonely child.
What you want, you wanna be ??????
What you want, you wanna be feelin' good to be alive.

ELLE
Love! I'm doing this for love, and that's how love survives!
Here you go, I said no, go away!
Right here is where I'll stay until that happy day,
That day I hear them say...

ADVISOR
175.

ANGELIC VOICES
175.

ELLE
175!

ANGELIC VOICES
175. 175!!!

HARVARD PROFESSOR
(spoken)
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.

OTHER PROFESSOR
(spoken)
We should admit her for reasons of, um . . . multiculturalism!

PROFESSORS
(spoken) Multiculturalism!

HARVARD PROFESSOR
(spoken)
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!

SORORITY GIRL
(spoken) How's this for a personal essay?

GIRLS
What you want!

HARVARD PROFESSOR
Goodness me!

GIRLS
What you want!

HARVARD PROFESSOR
Security!

GIRLS
What you want is right in...

HARVARD PROFESSOR
(spoken) Who are you?

ELLE
I'm what you want, Harvard.
I'm the girl for you,

ELLE and GIRLS
And to prove it's true,

ELLE
We all flew here on Jet Blue.

ELLE and GIRLS
Thank you!

JET BLUE PILOT
Thank you!

GIRLS
This is what Elle Woods inspires.
Everyone admires her and Harvard should too!

HARVARD PROFESSOR
(spoken) This is NOT a personal essay!

GIRLS
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...

ELLE
May I approach?

GIRLS
Uh-huh! Oh yeah! Go Elle!

HARVARD PROFESSOR
(spoken)
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!

ELLE
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?

PROFESSOR
(spoken) I do!

ELLE
Do you believe?

PROFESSOR
(spoken) Me too!

ALL
Yes, we believe in love!
How 'bout you?

HARVARD PROFESSOR
(spoken) Welcome to Harvard!

ALL
(cheers)
What you want (that was fun).
What you want (let's go, girl).
What you want is right in front of you, front of you.
What you want (everyone).
What you want (please step up).
What you want is right in front of you, front of you.

What you want.
What you want.
What you want.
What you want! `
