La La Land

La La Land

Gently, we come back down to reality: Sebastian has just finished his piece on the piano. There’s some mild clapping.

Beat. Mia looks at Sebastian. Looks away. A moment passes.

DAVID
Do you want to stay for another?

She’s silent for a second. Then she looks at David.

MIA
No... We should go.

He nods. They rise from their seats and head for the exit. Just as they reach the door, and as David steps out, Mia turns and looks back at Sebastian. He looks at her. Their eyes lock. A hint of a tear in both...
And, ever so subtly, for just a fleeting second, Mia smiles. It’s the kind of smile you could miss if you blinked -- but it’s enough to signal to Sebastian that she recognized the melody he played, and that she still remembers it, and still thinks of it to this day...

Then she walks out the door. Sebastian glances at his fellow musicians. Another second passes. And then, he nods, and they launch into a new chart.

EXT. STREET - NIGHT

It’s silent outside. You can’t hear the music. Mia and David reach their car. They get in. It pulls out.
Passing by Sebastian’s music shop, the car continues on. We stay put, the music shop on one side of the frame, the lights of the car on the other. Those lights growing smaller and smaller, before finally disappearing into the big L.A. night...

THE END
