Film Clips: Elle’s Dad on law students

[Elle Woods has just stunned her mother and father by announcing that she’s planning on going to Harvard Law School]
     Mom:  Honey, you were First Runner-Up at the “Miss Hawaiian Tropics” contest. Why are you going to throw that all away?
     Elle:  Going to Harvard is the only way I’m going to get the love of my life back.
     Dad:  Oh, sweetheart, you don’t need law school!  Law school is for people who are boring and ugly and serious.  And you, button, are none of those things.
