ELLE (CONT'D)

(continuing)

Going to Harvard is the only way I can

get the love of my life back!

Sapphire looks at her, still not getting it. ·

SAPPHIRE:

Can't you just suck his wiener?

(TV VERSION)

Can't you just get your nose done?

Elle reacts to her mother's skewed logic.

35 EXT. HARVARD DORM - DAY 35

Pale, studious LAW STUDENTS clad in earth tones, move into

their dorm, carrying in their spartan belongings (coffee

makers, books, computers).

In the distance, a HAPPY POP SONG (perhaps "Heaven Tonight by

Hole) is heard. As it gets louder, heads turn to see --

A silver, convertible Boxster driving up, Elle at the wheel,/

MUSIC BLASTING. A large MOVING VAN follows the Boxster.

Peop le lean out of their windows, buzzing with interest as--

Elle's car stops in front of the dorm. She hops out,

scooping up Underdog and looking every inch the LA-Fred-Segal-

glamour-queen, as she looks around with a smile.

Elle looks at Underdog.

ELLE:

We're here!

She bends down to pour some Evian into his inflatable doggy

dish, inadvertently revealing cleavage to a passing

BESPECTACLED BOY (several yards away).

He trips, dropping his I-MAC. It shatters into a million

pieces.

Not noticing/ Elle stands and turns to two MOVING GUYS/ who

are hauling a pink, faux-fur love seat and a potted palm tree

out of the truck.

ELLE (CONT'D)

(continuing)

This way, guys!

With a beauty queen smile in place, she strides into the dorm

as the other students watch in amazement.

HANGING OUT OF THE WINDOW

ARROGANT AARON, a Mensa geek with attitude, turns to his

roommate.

ARROGANT AARON:

Whose knob did she honk to get in here?

36 EXT. LAW SCHOOL QUAD - DAY 36

" W e l c o m e Law Students Class of 2003" banners hang over

There's a pizza welcome lunch in twenty

minutes. Does that count?

ELLE:

The Fuzzy Guy looks at the red-shirted BALD 2L next to him,

as Elle walks off. ,

FUZZY 2L

What the hell.was that?

BALD 2L

Malibu Barbie lives.

37 EXT. HARVARD LAW SCHOOL - OUTDOOR GARDEN - DAY 37

Elle sits at the outdoor table, ignoring her slice of pizza,

as she looks around for Warner. Not finding him, she turns

her attention to the Group Leader, a BURNED OUT 2L in a red t-

shirt.

BURNED OUT 2L

Okay. Welcome to law school. This is the

part where we go around in a circle and

everyone says a little bit about

themselves. Let's start with you.

He gestures at a guy with glasses, DORKY DAVID.

DORKY DAVID:

I have a Masters in Russian Literature, a

Ph.D in Biochemistry, and for the last

eighteen months, I've been de- worming

orphans in Somalia.

BURNED OUT 2L

Awesome. How about you, Enid?

ENID, a militant feminista, looks up.

ENID:

Wall Street for four years, mushed in

three ididarods and I ' ve figured out how
