La La Land (2016)

Sebastian: I'm letting life hit me until it gets tired. Then I'll hit back. It's a classic rope-a-dope.

Mia: Maybe I'm not good enough!
Sebastian: Yes, you are.
Mia: Maybe I'm not! It's like a pipe dream.
Sebastian: This is the dream! It's conflict and it's compromise, and it's very, very exciting.

Mia: I think you should call it Seb's because no one will come to a place called Chicken on a Stick.

Sebastian: What do you mean you don't like jazz?
Mia: It just means that when I listen to it, I don't like it.

Sebastian: You're a barista? I can see how you can look down on me from all the way up there.

Keith: How are you gonna be a revolutionary if you're such a traditionalist? You hold onto the past, but jazz is about the future.

Bill: You're fired.
Sebastian: It's Christmas.
Bill: Yeah, I see the decorations. Good luck in the New Year.

Mia: I'm always gonna love you.
Sebastian: I'm always gonna love you, too.

Sebastian: Alright, I remember you. And yes, I'll admit that when we met, I was a little curt.
Mia: You were "curt?"
Sebastian: Alright, I was an asshole. I can admit that! But requesting "I Ran" from a serious musician? Too far!
Mia: Did you just say "a serious musician?"
Sebastian: That's not what I said.
Mia: That's a really cool outfit. Do you mind if I borrow it next week?
Sebastian: Why?
Mia: Because I have an audition coming up where I have to play a "serious" firefighter.

Mia: It's pretty strange that we keep running into each other.
Sebastian: Maybe it means something.
Mia: I doubt it.
Sebastian: Yeah, I didn't think so.

Mia: People love what other people are passionate about.
