Take It Like A Man

[EMMETT]
What is this place?

[ELLE]
It's called... a department store

[EMMETT]
It's... it's beautiful

[ELLE]
Shhh
First, a deep breath
Take it all in
Feel all those halogens warming your skin
Smell how they pump in pure oxygen
See, they care

[SALES ASSISTANT]
'Love'?

[EMMETT]
Excuse me?

[SALES ASSISTANT]
'Love'. It's the new fragrance from Chanel

[EMMETT]
Oh, no, thank you

[ELLE]
I know you're scared
Nevertheless, think of the people you want to impress
Swallow your pride for me
Just nod "yes"
And prepare 'cause something's in the air

[EMMETT]
I think it's 'Love'

[ELLE]
Exactly!
Here you'll become what you're supposed to be
You think you can't, but you can
Think of the guy you want most to be
Here's your chance to make it
So take it like a man

[EMMETT]
What does she want?
Not really sure
Why can't we leave things the way that they were?
Why can I never say "no" to her?
What's that smell?

[SALES ASSISTANT]
'Subtext' by Calvin Klein

[EMMETT]
That I don't like
That's kinda neat
Guys who wear that get beat up on my street
Still, I've come this far
I can't retreat in my shell
I'm in the hands of Elle
What the hell!

[EMMETT/ELLE]
Here you'll become what you're supposed to be

[ENSEMBLE]
Supposed to be

[EMMETT/ELLE]
You think you can't, but you can

[ENSEMBLE]
Yes, you can

[EMMETT/ELLE]
Think of the guy you want most to be
Here's your chance to make it

[EMMETT/ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
So take it like a man

[ELLE]
God, I love shopping for guys

[EMMETT]
Okay, this is strange

[ELLE]
Watching them change right before your eyes

[EMMETT]
Don't watch me change!

[ELLE]
Look at him striking a pose
His confidence grows

[ELLE/ENSEMBLE]
He'll bloom like a rose

[EMMETT]
It's just clothes!

[ELLE]
God, I love shopping for men

[EMMETT]
Okay, this is nice

[ELLE]
They walk in a two, they walk out a ten

[EMMETT]
Is this the price?!

[ELLE]
Don't worry, this is my treat
There's someone I'd like you to meet

[ELLE/EMMETT]
Whoa

[EMMETT]
I look like Warner

[ELLE]
Yeah

[EMMETT]
But it's just me

[ELLE]
That's the best part
The outside is new
But now it reflects what's already in you
Couldn't change that if I wanted to
And I do not

[EMMETT]
Thank you

[ELLE]
No, thank you
This is no gift
It's payment in kind
'Cause you saw beyond all the blonde to my mind
Oh, you have to buy it
What, are you blind?
You look hot!
Is he not hot?

[ENSEMBLE]
He's hot, hot, hot, hot

[ELLE/EMMETT]
Here you'll become what you're supposed to be
You think you can't, but you can
Think of the guy you want most to be

[EMMETT]
Not quite the guy I'd have chose to be
But when she's standing so close to me
I think I like her plan

[ELLE]
Here's your chance to make it

[EMMETT/ENSEMBLE]
A chance to make it

[ELLE]
So take it like

[EMMETT/ENSEMBLE]
So take it like

[ELLE]
A man

[EMMETT]
A man

[ELLE]
A man

[EMMETT]
A man

[ELLE]
A man

[EMMETT]
A man

[ELLE/EMMETT/ENSEMBLE]
A man
