This Is Not YourDream (from La LaLand)

Script:

Mia: You're gonna be on tour for, what, months now? Years?

Sebastian: Yeah. I don't... This is it. I mean, it could feasibly be...I could be on tour with this for a couple of years, at least. Just this record.

Mia: Do you like the music you're playing?

Sebastian: I don't...I don't know what it matters.

Mia: Well, it matters, because if you're gonna give up your dream, I think it matters that you like what you're playing on the road for years.

Sebastian: Do you like the music I'm playing? 

Mia: Yeah. I do. I just didn't think that you did. 

Sebastian: Yeah, well...

Mia: You always said Keith is the worst, and now you're gonna be on tour with him for years, so I just didn't...

Sebastian: What are you doing right now?

Mia: ...know if you were happy.

Sebastian: Why are you doing this?

Mia: I don't...What do youmean, why am I doing this?

Sebastian: I thought you wanted me to do this. It just sounds like now you don't want me to do it.

Mia: What do you mean, I wanted you to do this?

Sebastian: This is what you wanted for me.

Mia: To be in this band?

Sebastian: To be in aband. To have a steady job, you know? To be... you know.

Mia: Of course I wanted you to have a steady job, so that you could take care of yourself and your life and you could start your club.

Sebastian: So I'm doing that, so I don't understand. Why aren't we celebrating?

Mia: Why aren't you starting your club?

Sebastian: You said yourself no one wants to go to that club. No one wants to go to a club called “Chicken on a Stick.”

Mia: So change the name!

Sebastian: Well, no one likes jazz! Not even you!

Mia: I do like jazz now because of you!

Sebastian: And this is what I thought you wanted me to do! What am I supposed to do? Go back to playing “Jingle Bells”?

Mia: I'm not saying that. I'm saying why don't you take what you've made and start the club?

Sebastian: Scraping pennies so I can start a club no one wants to go to?

Mia: People will want to go to it because you're passionate about it, andpeople love what other people are passionate about. You remind people of what they forgot.

Sebastian: Not in my experience. Well, whatever, all right? I mean, it's just time to grow up, youknow? I have a steady job, this is what I'm doing. And now all of a sudden, if you had these problems, I wish you would have said them earlier, before I signed on the goddamn dotted line!

Mia: I'm pointing out that you had a dream that you followed, that you were sticking to...

Sebastian: This is the dream! This is the dream.

Mia: This is not your dream!

Sebastian: Guys like me work their whole lives to be in something that's successful, that people like. You know? I mean, I'm finally in something that people enjoy.

Mia: Since when do you care about being liked? 

Sebastian: Just 'cause I don't enjoy it, it doesn't matter. 

Mia: Why do you care so much about being liked?

Sebastian: You're an actress! What are you talking about? Maybe you just liked me when I was on my ass 'cause it made you feel better about yourself.

Mia: Are you kidding?

Sebastian: No. I don't know.
