EMMETT
(spoken) Whoa, Elle? What's up, Doc?

ELLE
Love

EMMETT
(spoken) Excuse me?

ELLE
I put my faith in love
I followed where it led

EMMETT
(spoken) Love led you here?

ELLE
To my personal circle of Hell
It has not worked out well
I wish that I were dead

Cause instead of a wedding in love
I'm flunking out of school
A total laughing stock
Someone he and his friends could just mock
So go on, here's my head
Just hand over the rock!

EMMETT
(spoken) Wait, go back!

(sung) You came out here to follow a man
Harvard law was just part of that plan
Man, what rich romantic planet are you from?

ELLE
(spoken) Malibu?

EMMETT
Instead of lying outside by the pool
You stalk some guy to an ivy league school?
That's the weirdest reason I have--

ELLE
(spoken) Oh, why'd you come?

EMMETT
(spoken) Okay

(sung) I grew up in the Roxbury slums
With my mom and a series of bums
Guys who showed me all the ways a man can fail

I got through law school by busting my ass
Worked two jobs in addition to class
So forgive me for not weeping at your tale

ELLE
(spoken) Well excuse me,
just because you've got some kind of chip on your shoulder . . .

EMMETT
(spoken) You know what? You're right.

(sung) There's a chip on my shoulder
And it's big as a boulder
With the chance I've been given
I'm gonna be driven as hell

I'm so close I can taste it
So I'm not gonna waste it
Yeah, there's a chip on my shoulder
You might wanna get one as well

ELLE
(spoken) I'm sorry, but that sounds highly negative. Wait!
Two jobs PLUS law school?! How do you do it?

EMMETT
Well, I don't go to parties a lot
Not good use of the time that I've got
Can't spend hours doing my hair and staying in shape

ELLE
(spoken) I don't spend hours!

EMMETT
But I know it'll all be worthwhile
When I win my first lucrative trial
And buy my mom that great big house out on the cape!

ELLE
(spoken) Oh, that's so sweet!

EMMETT
No! That's the chip on my shoulder
I hugged my mom and told her
With the chance I've been given
I'm gonna be driven as hell

Though I can't take the day off
I just think of the payoff
You need a chip on your shoulder
Little Miss Woods comma Elle

ELLE
(spoken) I just need to prove to everyone that I'm serious!

EMMETT
(spoken) What you need is to get to work! Where are your law books?

ELLE
(spoken) Ummm . . . Well, I know they're here somewhere . . .

EMMETT
Ya know, this vanity's real picturesque
But it started its life as a desk
Clear it off, and find some room for books instead

ELLE
(spoken) What are you doing?!

EMMETT
Can you live without this?
Can you live without that?
I don't know what this is

ELLE
(spoken) It's for hair!

EMMETT
Wear a hat!
Spend some time improving what's inside your head!

Out, out, put it in storage, sell it on eBay, leave it behind
Out, out, what, are you angry?
Good, so get angry! You may find
The chip on your shoulder

ELLE
(spoken) ARGH!

EMMETT
The room just got colder

ELLE
(spoken) Hey!

EMMETT
But with the chance you've been given
Why are you not driven as hell?!
There's just no way around it
You gotta plow through til you've

ELLE
(spoken) Found it!

EMMETT
Been reading it hard, I can tell . . .

GIRLS
Tis a gift to be simple
Tis a gift to be free
Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

ELLE
(spoken) Bye, Warner! Have a great Thanksgiving!
Say hi to your mom and dad for me! And Grandma Bootsie!
