Chip on My Shoulder

Woah, Elle, what's up doc?
 
 Love
 Excuse me?
 I put my faith in love
 I followed where it led
 Love led you here?
 To my personal circle of hell!
 It has not worked out well
 I wish that I were dead
 'Cause instead of a wedding and love
 I'm flunking out of school, a total laughingstock!
 Someone, he and his friends can just mock
 So, go on, here's my head, just hit it with a rock
 Wait, go back
 You came out here to follow a man?
 Harvard Law was just part of that plan?
 Man, what rich romantic planet are you from?
 Malibu?
 Instead of lying outside by the pool
 You stalk some guy to an Ivy League school?
 That's the weirdest reason I have-
 Oh, why'd you come?
 Okay, 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
 Oh, well, excuse me
 Just because you've got some kind of chip on your shoulder
 You know what? You're right
 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
 I'm sorry, but that sounds highly negative
 Wait, two jobs plus law school? How do you do it?
 Well, I don't go to parties a lot
 Not good use of the time that I've got
 Can't spend hours doin' my hair and stayin' in shape
 I don't spend hours
 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
 Oh, that's so sweet
 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
 I just need to prove to everyone that I'm serious
 What you need is to get to work
 Where are your law books?
 Um, well, I know they're here somewhere
 You know, this vanity's real picturesque
 But it started its life as a desk
 Clear it off and find some room for books instead
 What are you doing?
 Can you live without this?
 Can you live without that?
 I don't know what this is
 It's for hair
 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!
 Ugh
 Ooh, the room just got colder
 Hey
 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-
 Found it
 Been reading it hard, I can tell
 'Tis a gift to be simple, 'tis a gift to be free (mm-mm, mm-mm)
 Bye, Warner, have a great thanksgiving
 Say, hi to your mom and dad for me
 And Grandma Bootsie
 Define, 'Malum prohibitum'
 'Malum prohibitum' is um
 An act prohibited by-
 An act prohibited by law like jaywalking, or chewing gum in Singapore
 Therefore, 'Malum in se'
 Is an action that's evil in itself
 Assault, murder, white shoes after Labor Day
 Good, where are you going?
 Home, of course, it's thanksgiving break, remember?
 Interesting
 What?
 Well, I predict you will probably pass
 Yes
 In the bottom percent of your class
 What?
 If you're going for mediocre
 You've done great
 That's not fair
 Look, they laughed at me like they're laughing at you
 We can't win, if we don't follow through
 Might I venture, your vacation plans can wait
 Why do you always have to be right?
 Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
 Gloria, in excelsis Deo
 Bye, Warner, Merry Christmas, enjoy Bayo
 Ho, ho, ho
 Emmett
 For you
 Not as good as going home for Christmas, but
 You are too sweet
 It's a real time saver, shampoo and conditioner in one
 Thank you, you are so adorable to think of me
 Elle, hey
 Warner
 Have you seen Vivian?
 I have been looking for her everywhere
 Yeah, I, I mean no
 Great, we're gonna miss our flight
 Um, Elle? I don't know if you've noticed before
 But each time Warner walks through the door
 Your IQ goes down to 40, maybe less, uh
 Though it's hardly my business to say
 Could it be the real thing in your way
 Is the very guy you're trying to impress?
 Yes, I've been smiling and sweet
 And thoroughly beaten, blowing my chance
 Let's not chase him away
 Let's face him and say, "Hey punk, let's 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 let's do this
 Instead of doodling hearts all through this
 Now there's a chip on my shoulder
 Let's see him knock it aside
 Ah, daughter of Delta Nu
 Show him that you're no fool
 Daughter of Delta Nu
 Go back to school with a big chip on your shoulder
 Mr. Ladimer was clearly within his rights to ask for visitation
 Without his sperm, the child in question wouldn't exist
 Now you're thinking like a lawyer
 Yes, Miss Woods
 Mr. Huntington makes an excellent point
 But did the defendant keep a log
 Of every sperm emission made throughout his life?
 Interesting, why do you ask?
 Well, unless the defendant attempted to contact every sexual 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?
 I see your point
 And by Mr. Huntington's standards
 All masturbatory emissions where the sperm was clearly not seeking an egg
 Would be called reckless abandonment
 Miss Woods, you just won your case
 (Oh, my god) wait, hold on, we just won the case
 (Oh, my god) Elle got all up in Warner's face
 (Oh, my god) I am starting to like this place
 Yes, oh, my god
 Miss Woods, excellent work today
 I assume you're applying for my internship, do you have a resume?
 I am one step ahead of you
 Here you go and thanks in advance for your consideration
 Dear God, it's scented
 Three months ago, I would have recycled this
 Make sure to put it on file
 Guess, she got a chip on her shoulder
 Maybe some wise man told her
 With the chance we've been given
 We gotta be driven as hell
 She was something to see there
 I'm just happy I could be there
 First big test and she aced it
 She's so close, she can taste it
 She got a chip on her shoulder
 Guess you never can tell-ell-ell
