But you need to see me in a brand new domain
Well its plain, Warner
In a different setting
You will see your getting
all of this plus a brain

Big sturdy book
big wordy book
full of words i'll understand
and right there is where you'll see it too

Kate:
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 its 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 letter from your betters
Any chance you know the pope

Professor #1:
(Blows whistle loudly and dance team stops)
(spoken)Now see here Miss. Woods, You can’t just barge in here with singing, and dancing, and ethnic movement! This is a
very flashy presentation, but Is till don’t see one reason to admit you!
Elle and kate :
How about love?
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 naïve!
because even a person who’s smart
Can listen to their heart
Can listen and believe (Dancers in back waving flags and swaying)
So believe in what love can achieve
Do you Believe?
Professor #3:
I Do!
Elle:
Do you believe?
Professor #2:
