Yes, Professor Calahan is in &quot;What You Want&quot;. When he sees Elle&#039;s application and is talking to his assistants, and during her &quot;personal essay&quot;.

Professor Calahan: So, gentlemen,

Harvard Law grants admission to Adam Cohen and Sandick Padamena.

And now, Ms. Elle Woods, who was kind enough to send in a headshot.

Assistant 1: We should admit her, for reasons of, um . . . multiculturalism!

Assistant 2: Multiculturalism!

Professor Calahan: Oh gentlemen, please! Get a hold of yourselves!

Oh, look at that! Oh, what a shame!

She didn&#039;t bother sending in a personal essay!

Sorority girl: How&#039;s this for a personal essay?

Company: What you want!

Assistant 1: Goodness me!

Company: What you want!

Professor Calahan: Security!

Company: What you want is right in--

Professor Calahan: Who are you?

Elle: I&#039;m what you want, Harvard

I&#039;m the girl for you!

Elle and Company: And to prove it&#039;s true

Elle: We all flew here on Jet Blue

Elle and Company: Thank you!

Jet Blue Pilot: Thank you!

Company: This is what Elle Woods inspires

Everyone admires her

And Harvard should too!

Professor Calahan: This is NOT a personal essay!

Company: No, an essay&#039;s so boring and so much does not fit

So we&#039;re appearing live, right here

Making clear you must admit

That Elle Woods should join the chosen few

Harvard, what you want is right in front of--

Elle: May I approach!

Company: Uh-huh! Oh yeah! Go Elle!

Professor Calahan: Now see here, Ms. Woods!

You can&#039;t just barge in here with singing and dancing and ethnic movement.

This is a very flashy presentation, but I still don&#039;t see one reason to admit you!

Elle: How about love?

Have you ever been in love?

Cause if you have, you&#039;ll know

That love never accepts a defeat

No challenge it can&#039;t meet

No place it cannot go

Don&#039;t say no to a woman in love

Don&#039;t laugh when I say love

Don&#039;t think that I&#039;m naive

Because even a person who&#039;s smart

Can listen to their heart

Can listen and believe

So believe in what love can achieve

Do you believe?

Assistant 1: I do!

Elle: Do you believe?

Assistant 2: Me too!

Company: Yes, we believe in love, how &#039;bout you?

Professor Calahan: Welcome to Harvard!
