Serious

WARNER: We both know why we're here
I see it in your eyes
I guess it calms my fear
To know it's not a surprise
I thought one look at you
Looking like a dream come true
Would leave me speechless like you always do
But now we're wide awake
We've got some plans to make
Let's take some action, baby
So, baby, give me your hand
I've got some dreams to make true
I've got the future all planned
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious with you

ELLE: I never thought that I-

WARNER (spoken): Uh, honey, I'm not finished.

ELLE (spoken): Oh, sorry!

WARNER: Since I was two or three

ELLE: Mmmm

WARNER: My life was planned out neat

ELLE: Mmmm

WARNER: I'd get my law degree

ELLE: Yeahh

WARNER: And then win my senate seat

ELLE: Mmmm

WARNER: A big white house back east

ELLE: Oh, ohh

WARNER: All of the amenities

ELLE: Yeahh

WARNER: Three kids

BOTH: At least, just like the Kennedys

WARNER: Here's where our lives begin (ELLE: Our lives begin)

WARNER: Just where do you fit in? (ELLE: Fit me in!)

WARNER: I'll break it down now, baby
So, baby, give me your hand (ELLE: Oo, whoaa, here's my hand, here's my hand)

WARNER: I've got some dreams to make true (ELLE: We both have dreams to make true)

WARNER: I'll know that you'll understand (ELLE: Oh yes, I understand)

BOTH: It's time to get serious
Time to get serious

WARNER: With you
Serious (ELLE: Serious)

WARNER: Gotta wake up and take our journey
Serious (ELLE: Serious)

WARNER: I'm telling you as a future attorney (ELLE: Oh, oh)

WARNER: You want the moon and sky
Then take it, don't be shy (ELLE: Heyy)

WARNER: Baby, that's why you and I (ELLE: I, you and I)

WARNER: Should break up!

ELLE: Hey, baby, I'll give you my hand, we-
(Spoken) WHAT?? You're breaking up with me?
I thought you were proposing!

WARNER: (Spoken) Elle, if I'm gonna be a senator when I'm thirty,
I'm gonna need somebody
Serious
Less of a Marilyn, more of a Jackie
Serious
Somebody classy and not too tacky

ELLE: (Spoken) What?!

WARNER: Okay, that came out wrong

ELLE: (Sobs)

WARNER: Baby, let's both be strong

ELLE: (Sobs)

WARNER: I mean, we've known all along

ELLE: (Spoken) Just shut up! What does that mean, I'm not a Jackie?
I'm not serious? But I am seriously in love with you.

WARNER: Baby, my future's all planned
I've got some dreams to make true
I thought that you'd understand
It's time to get serious
Time to get serious

WARNER: (Spoken) Check, please.
