La La Land2016

Mia:
Honestly, I wish I loved something else. I've tried so hard to want other things. I left school after two years to come here, my fourth manager just dropped me, and my last audition was for a teen soap pitched as Dangerous Minds meets The O.C.. Should've been a lawyer.

Sebastian:
Cause the world needs more lawyers.

Mia:
Well it doesn't need more actresses.

Sebastian:
You're not just an actress.

Mia:
What do you mean, "just an actress"?

Sebastian:
You said it yourself, you're a child-prodigy playwright.

Mia:
That is not what I said.

Sebastian:
You're too modest to say it but it's true. So you could write your own roles. Write something that's as interesting as you are.

Mia:
Last thing I wrote was a stand-up routine for an open-mic night. It was horrible.

Sebastian:
All I'm saying is Louis Armstrong could have played the marching-band charts he was given. What did he do instead? He made history.

Mia:
OK, I'll stop auditioning and make history instead.

Sebastian:
[laughs] My work here is done.
