chip on my shoulder

EMMETT：(spoken) Whoa, Elle? Whats 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
Im flunking out of school
A total laughing stock
Someone he and his friends could just mock
So go on, heres my head
Just hit it with a 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?
Thats the weirdest reason I have--
ELLE： (spoken) Oh, whyd 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 youve got some kind of chip on your shoulder . . .
EMMETT：(spoken) You know what? Youre right.
(sung) Theres a chip on my shoulder
And its big as a boulder
With the chance Ive been given
Im gonna be driven as hell
Im so close I can taste it
So Im not gonna waste it
Yeah, theres a chip on my shoulder
You might wanna get oneas well
ELLE：(spoken) Im sorry, but that sounds highly negative.
Wait! Two jobs PLUS law school?! How do you do it?
EMMETT：Well, I dont go to parties a lot
Not good use of the time that Ive got
Cant spend hours doing my hair and staying in shape
ELLE：(spoken) I dont spend hours!
EMMETT：But I know itll 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, thats so sweet!
EMMETT：No! Thats the chip on my shoulder
I hugged my mom and told her
With the chance Ive been given
Im gonna be driven as hell
Though I cant 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 Im serious!
EMMETT：(spoken) What you need is to get to work! Where are your law books?
ELLE：(spoken) Ummm . . . Well, I know theyre here somewhere . . .
EMMETT：Ya know, this vanitys 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 dont know what this is
ELLE：(spoken) Its for hair!
EMMETT：Wear a hat!
Spend some time improving whats 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 youve been given
Why are you not driven as hell?!
Theres just no way around it
You gotta plow through til youve
ELLE：(spoken) Found it!
EMMETT：Been reading it hard, I can tell . . .
CHORUS：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!
EMMETT：(spoken) Define malum prohibitum.
ELLE：(spoken) Malum prohibitum is, ummm . . .
EMMETT：(spoken) An act prohibited--
ELLE：(spoken) An act prohibited by law like jaywalking or chewing gum in Singapore.
EMMETT：(spoken) Therefore malum in se ?
ELLE：(spoken) Is an action. That is evil in itself.
Assualt, murder, white shoes after labor day.
EMMETT：(spoken) Good. Where are you going?
ELLE：(spoken) Home, of course! Its Thanksgiving break, remember?
EMMETT：(spoken) Interesting
ELLE：(spoken) What?
EMMETT：Well, I predict you will probably pass
ELLE：(spoken) Yes!
EMMETT：In the bottom percent of your class
ELLE：(spoken) What?
EMMETT：If youre going for mediocre, youve done great!
ELLE： (spoken) Thats not fair!
EMMETT：Look, they laughed at me like theyre laughing at you
We cant win if we dont follow through!
Might I venture your vacation plans can wait?
ELLE：(spoken) Why do you always have to be right?
CHORUS：Glo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ria in excelsisDeo
ELLE：(spoken) Bye, Warner! Merry Christmas! Enjoy Bayo!
EMMETT：(spoken) Ho-ho-ho!
ELLE：(spoken) Emmett!
EMMETT：(spoken ) For you! Not as good as going home for Christmas, but . . .
ELLE：(spoken) You are too sweet.
EMMETT：(spoken) Its a real time saver. Shampoo and conditioner in one!
ELLE：(spoken) Ah! (giggles) Thank you. You are so adorable to think of me.
WARNER：(spoken) Elle, hey!
ELLE：(spoken) Warner!
WARNER：(spoken) Have you seen Vivienne? Ive been looking for her everywhere!
ELLE：(spoken) Yeah . . . I-I mean no.
WARNER：(spoken) Great! Were gonna miss our flight!
EMMETT：(spoken)Um, Elle?
(sung)I dont know if youve noticed before
But each time Warner walks in the door
Your IQ goes down to 40, maybe less
ELLE：(spoken) Huh?
EMMETT：Though its hardly my business to say
Could it be the real thing in your way
Is the very guy youre trying to impress
ELLE：Yes! Ive been smiling and sweet and thoroughly beaten blowing my chance
Lets not chase him away
Lets face him and say
'Hey punk, lets dance!'
This chip on my shoulder
Makes me smarter and bolder
No more whining or blaming
I am reclaiming my pride
Grab that book and lets do this
Instead of doodling hearts all through this
Now theres a chip on my shoulder!
Lets see him knock it aside!
Chorus：Ah-ah-ah-ah Daughter of Delta Nu
Show him that youre no fool
Daughter of Delta Nu
Go back to school with a big chip on your shoulder!
WARNER：(spoken) Mr. Ladimer was clearly within his rights to ask for visitation.
Without his sperm, the child in question wouldnt exist!
CALLAHAN：(spoken) Now youre thinking like a lawyer!
Yes, Miss Woods.
ELLE：(spoken) Mr. Huntington makes an excellent point,
but did the defendant keep a log of every sperm emission made throughout his life?
CALLAHAN：(spoken) Interesting. Why do you ask?
ELLE：(spoken) Well, unless the defendant attempted to contact every ***ual encounter to find out if a child resulted from those unions
he has no parental claim over this child whatsoever
Why now? Why this sperm?
CALLAHAN：(spoken) I see your point.
ELLE：(spoken) And by Mr. Huntingtons standards,
all masturbatory emissions where the sperm was clearly not seeking an egg
could be called reckless abandonment.
CALLAHAN：(spoken) Miss Woods, you just won your case.
ELLE：Ohmigod . . .
CHORUS：Wait, hold on, we just won the case!
ELLE：Omigod . . .
GIRLS：Elle got all up in Warners face
ELLE：Omigod . . .
GIRLS：I am starting to like this place! Yes! Omigod!
CALLAHAN：(spoken) Miss Woods, excellent work today.
I assume youre applying for my internship. Do you have a resume?
ELLE：(spoken) I am one step ahead of you.
Here you go, and thanks in advance for your consideration.
CALLAHAN：(spoken) Dear God, its scented.
Three months ago, I would have recycled this. Make sure to put it on file
EMMETT：Guess she got a chip on her shoulder
Maybe some wise man told her
With the chance weve beengiven
We gotta be driven as hell
She was something to see there
Im just happy I could be there
First big test and she aced it
Shes so close she can taste it
She got a chip on her shoulder
Guess you never can te-e-ell . . .
With little Miss Woods comma Elle!
CHORUS：Elle Woods
Woods comma Elle
