Quotes26

  • Mia: People love what other people are passionate about.
  • Mia: I'm always gonna love you.
  • Sebastian: I'm always gonna love you, too.
  • 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.
  • Sebastian: Alright, I remember you. And I'll admit I was a little curt that night.
  • Mia: "Curt?"
  • Sebastian: Okay, I was an asshole. I can admit that. But requesting "I Ran" from a serious musician, it's just, it's too far.
  • Mia: My Lord, did you just say "a serious musician?"
  • Sebastian: I don't think so.
  • Mia: Can I borrow what you're wearing?
  • Sebastian: Why?
  • Mia: Because I have an audition next week. I'm playing a serious firefighter.
  • Sebastian: So you're an actress? I thought you looked familiar. Have I seen you in anything?
  • Mia: Uhh, the coffee shop on the Warner Brothers lot, that's a classic.
  • Sebastian: Oh I see.
  • Mia: Yeah.
  • Sebastian: So you're a barista? And I can see how you could then look down on me from all the way up there.
  • Mia: I made you something.
  • Sebastian: For what?
  • Mia: For your club.
  • Sebastian: [she shows him a hand-draw logo] Why does it say "Seb's"?
  • Mia: 'Cause I think you should call it Seb's.
  • Sebastian: What?
  • Mia: 'Cause no one's gonna come to "Chicken on a Stick".
  • Sebastian: Fuck them!
  • Mia: [mildly amused] That's what you always say.
  • 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 a band, 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: Yeah, so I'm doing that, so I don't understand like why aren't we celebrating?
  • Mia: Why aren't you starting your club?
  • Sebastian: You said yourself no one wants to go 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!
  • Tracy: [after Sebastian honks car horn outside Mia's apartment] Is that gonna happen every time?
  • Mia: [smiling] I think so.
  • 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.
  • Mia: George Michael!
  • Mia: No, Jamal. You be trippin'.
  • Mia: I should probably tell you something now, just to get it out of the way.
  • Sebastian: Mm-hmm?
  • Mia: I hate jazz.
  • Sebastian: You should come.
  • Mia: To Boise?
  • Sebastian: You can knock it off your bucket list.
  • 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: Maybe I'm one of those people that has always wanted to do it, but it's like a pipe dream for me, you know? And then you... you said it, you-you changed your dreams, and then you grow up. Maybe I'm one of those people, and I'm not supposed to. And I can go back to school, and I can find something else I'm supposed to do. 'Cause I left to do that, and it's been six years, and I don't wanna do it anymore.
  • Sebastian: Why?
  • Mia: Why what?
  • Sebastian: Why don't you want to do it anymore?
  • Mia: 'Cause I think it hurts a little bit too much.
  • Sebastian: You're a baby.
  • Mia: I'm not a baby.
  • Sebastian: You are.
  • Mia: I'm trying to grow up.
  • Sebastian: You're crying like a baby.
  • Mia: Oh, my god.
  • Sebastian: And you have an audition tomorrow at 5:30. I'll be out front at 8:00 a.m. You'll be out front or not, I don't know.
  • Mia: How did you find me here?
  • Sebastian: The house in front of the library.
  • Mia: [singing] And here's to the fools who dream / Crazy as they may seem. / Here's to the hearts that break. / Here's to the mess we make.
  • Sebastian: I'm always gonna love you.
  • Mia: I'm always gonna love you, too.
  • Mia: Where's my car?
  • Sebastian: You gotta put that thing to your chin.
  • Mia: [indicating her key fob] This?
  • Sebastian: Yeah. Yeah, it makes your head into an antenna, so...
  • Mia: Ooh.
  • Sebastian: I think it gives you cancer, but you find your car faster.
  • Mia: What?
  • Sebastian: I mean, you don't live long, but you get where you're going quicker, so it all evens out.
  • Mia: That sounds terrible.
  • Sebastian: Just a suggestion.
  • Mia: You're... you're a real, um... what's the word I'm looking for?
  • Sebastian: Knight in shining armor?
  • Mia: Weirdo.
  • Mia: I've been to a million auditions, and the same thing happens every time, where I get interrupted because someone wants to get a sandwich. Or I'm crying, and they start laughing. Or there's people sitting in the waiting room, and they're... and they're like me but prettier and better at the... because maybe I'm not good enough.
  • Sebastian: Yes, you are.
  • Mia: No... no, maybe I'm not.
  • Sebastian: Yes, you are.
  • Mia: Maybe I'm not.
  • Sebastian: You are.
  • Mia: Maybe I'm not.
  • Sebastian: You are.
  • Sebastian: You could just write your own rules. You know, write something that's as interesting as you are.
  • Mia: What are you gonna do?
  • Sebastian: Have my own club.
