But yeah, she’ll kick you right in the —” “Oh, do you want some nuts?” Savannah joked, pulling out a bag of peanuts. After recreating more iconic lines, including Elle’s pink scented résumé (“I think it just adds a little something extra, don’t you?”), Savannah did the “bend and snap” move! “Works every time,” she said, before the two pretended to leave and grab a coffee together. Later on in the episode, he admitted he was “nervous” to reprise his role on the show and joked that it was “the closest I’ve gotten to doing Broadway.” He also said the memorable lines “did not come back” to him as easily as one might expect. As for Legally Blonde 3 and whether there’s a chance he’d return, he said: “Well, I hope there is. It would be really fun to do.” “You just never know. But I bet at some point down the line, while Reese and I can still do it,” he continued, adding of the Halloween recreation, “And this has to be very inspiring to Reese!” Find out what the current status is for Legally Blonde 3.
