What the Heck I Gotta DoLin-Manuel Miranda

[NARRATOR]
The plan was called Operation D-Minus. And one of the schools included in the plan was Park Vista Community High School, where a kid named Justin Laboy—

[JUSTIN]
That's me

[NARRATOR]
—an 18-year-old honor roll student—

[JUSTIN]
I get straight A's, man

[NARRATOR]
—was in the last semester of his senior year. Justin could hardly believe his luck when a very pretty girl showed up

[JUSTIN]
Naomi!

[NARRATOR]
In not one but two of his classes

[STUDENTS]
Naomi!

[NARRATOR]
She sat in front of him. He switched seats

[STUDENTS]
Naomi!

[NARRATOR]
The last name she used was—

[STUDENTS]
Rodriguez

[NARRATOR]
Justin, what drew you to Naomi initially?

[JUSTIN]
Man, she used to fall asleep in class
She was a light-skinneded Puerto Rican-Dominican—
Long hair, mature in the body like whoa

[STUDENTS]
Like, whoa

[JUSTIN]
That's not the only reason I liked her, though
She said she moved with her mother to Florida from New York

[STUDENTS]
Where dreams are made

[JUSTIN]
Well, so did I. So I said, hi
She seemed mature, and I talked more

[STUDENTS]
More, more, more!

[JUSTIN]
And I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]
What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]
What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]
Who do I have to be for you to be with me?

[NARRATOR]
You told her all this in class?

[JUSTIN]
Yeah. Well, I texted her! Y'know, I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]
L-O-L-O-L-O-L!

[JUSTIN]
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]
R-O-F-L-O-L!

[JUSTIN]
Who do I have to be for you to be with me?

[NAOMI]
Smiley face

[JUSTIN]
Yes! Next thing you know, we're texting day and night. I trust her right away

[STUDENTS]
Like, whoa!

[JUSTIN]
Hey, yo. I never met anyone like her, bro. Yo, she listens to all my problems. I let her copy all my homework. And then I lay it all on the line. And she was like—

[STUDENTS]
No, no—

[JUSTIN]
No! She didn't say no exactly. I don't know

[STUDENTS]
No, no, no, no!

[JUSTIN]
Yeah, I was surprised. I'm a pretty great guy

[STUDENTS]
So? So?

[JUSTIN]
So, I decided I needed to step my game up

[STUDENTS]
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[JUSTIN]
It's too late to be shy. And so I got in front of the whole class one day, and serenaded her. I was like, what the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]
What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]
What the heck I gotta do to be with you?

[STUDENTS]
What the heck I gotta do?

[JUSTIN]
Who do I have to be for you to go to prom with me!

[NARRATOR]
You asked her to the prom?

[JUSTIN]
Yeah! I danced and everything

[STUDENTS]
Naomi!

[JUSTIN]
Naomi! I know there's a reason you were transferred here to me

[STUDENTS]
Naomi!

[STUDENTS]
Naomi! I know there's a reason this isn't luck, it's destiny

[STUDENTS]
Naomi!

[JUSTIN]
Naomi! You know me! Will you go to prom with me?

[NAOMI]
I'll think about it

[STUDENTS]
She'll think about it. She'll think about it. She'll think about it. She'll think about

[JUSTIN]
She said she'd think about it

[STUDENTS]
She'll think about it

[JUSTIN]
She'll think about it

[STUDENTS]
Think about it

[JUSTIN]
She'll think about it

[STUDENTS]
