EMMETT
(Spoken) Hello. I'm Emmett Forrest. Class of aught seven. Represent.
Welcome to the hallowed halls of Harvard Law.
I know firsthand how hard you've all worked to be here
Today. So, let's go around and share a bit about yourselves.

AARON
(Spoken) Aaron Shultz.

(Sung) I won a Fulbright and a Rhodes
I write financial software codes
But that's a challenge I've outgrown
How many yachts can one man own?

Some say that I'm a pompous creep
Somehow I don't lose that much sleep
Why bother with false modesty?
Harvard's the perfect place for me

EMMETT & STUDENTS
Pretty impressive, good to know

EMMETT
Welcome to Harvard

SUNDEEP
What's up?

ENID
Yo!

SUNDEEP
(Spoken) Sundeep Agrawal Padomadon,
But you may call me "your majesty."

(Sung) In my country
My word was law
But then I flee
Because of stupid "coup d'etat"

But here I learn
I make new friends
And soon return
In bullet-proof Mercedes Benz

EMMETT & STUDENTS
Pretty impressive, good to know

EMMETT
Welcome to Har--

ENID
(Spoken) ENID HOOPES!

(Sung) I did the peace corps overseas
Inoculating refugees
In family clinics that I built myself
From mud and trees

I fought to clean up their lagoons
And save their rare endangered loons
And led a protest march against insensitive cartoons

STUDENTS
Pretty impressive, good--

ENID
But now I'm on the legal track
Because this country's out of whack
And only women have the guts to go and take it back

We'll make the government come clean
And get more people voting green
And really stick it to the phallocentric war machine

ELLE
(Spoken) I love your top! It is so fatigue chic!
Anyone know where I can find
Criminal Law 101 with Professor Callahan? And
Warner Huntington the Third?

EMMETT
(Spoken) It's in Houser. Over there, second building on the left.

ELLE
(Spoken) Thanks!
