Mia invites people to her one-woman show, So Long Boulder City, while Sebastian is on tour. The band is called The Messengers and they play a huge concert which Mia attends ("Start a Fire"). The truth of the comment hits home for Sebastian and he takes the job with Keith. Mia finishes writing her one-woman show and tells her mother all about it, and about Sebastian who is "nobody yet" but dreams of owning his own club. In the jazz club, Sebastian is approached by Keith-an old friend and fellow musician-who offers him a job playing in his band. There’s a montage of many happy scenes of them together ("Summer Montage"). Sebastian is playing in a jazz bar Mia loves the music and dances along. Their evening ends with a drive to the Griffin Observatory where they dance ("Planetarium") and finally kiss. Half way through the meal and alienated by the company, she makes her apologies and bolts, rushing out to meet Sebastian at the cinema instead. The call back goes badly and afterwards Mia has to go to dinner (a date she’s forgotten) with her boyfriend Greg and his brother and partner. She says the show’s like Rebel Without a Cause and so they decide to go to the movies together to see it. Mia gets a call back for a TV audition and they’re both excited. Sebastian tracks Mia down at her waitressing job and she tells him of her dream to be an actor and he tells her about his passion for jazz and takes her to a jazz club. On the walk, they both acknowledge the wonderful night and agree it’s a shame it’s wasted on them-after all, they have no romantic potential ("A Lovely Night"). ![]() They end up walking back to their cars together. Sebastian is on keys and Mia mocks him for it. Mia’s at a pool party and goes over to where a 1980s pop cover band is playing. He brushes past her without a second look. She’s mesmerized and goes over to compliment him, just as he’s been fired. But, after a few Christmas tunes, he veers off course and plays his own jazz music ("Mia & Sebastian’s Theme") as Mia is watching. But for now, he’s playing the piano at Lipton’s restaurant, and we see him with his boss, who is reminding him to stick to the Christmas set list (and specifically to cut out the jazz). Not to go inside, but just to stare at it-we later learn that the venue once housed wonderful jazz musicians and Sebastian dreams of setting up his own jazz club there, in honor of that history. Once out of the traffic jam, Sebastian makes his way to the Van Beek, a samba-tapas bar. We hear the honking of a horn and the film replays this whole section, only this time from Sebastian’s perspective. The party is equally disappointing and, finding her car’s been towed away at the end of the night, Mia makes her way on foot, stopping on the way at Lipton’s restaurant, where a pianist is playing jazz. Mia’s audition is a disappointment, and she goes home to housemates who encourage her to join them at a party ("Someone in the Crowd"). He beeps his horn loudly at her as he drives past. She’s not concentrating on the road and so holds Sebastian-a jazz musician who dreams of owning his own jazz club-up. After the spectacle of the opening number ("Another Day of Sun"), we see barista and aspiring actress Mia going over lines for an audition in her car.
