Are they shouting for me?
They are shouting for you.
You going to wear your jacket? - No, no.
Have a good show.
There's over 100,000 people here.
We expected 10,000. Order extra security people.
They're going on stage already.
The police are sending extra help.
We were not prepared for a crowd this big.
I've never seen anything like it.
That's enough! Stop! Get off!
Everybody, get off! This is crazy!
Are you okay? - The stage was collapsing!
They're pushing the stage! - It's out of control.
It is too dangerous. The stage'll crack.
You can't stop the concert.
I won't let them play if this will happen!
Lt'll cause a riot! They're my kids!
They're in danger!
We need you to settle this crowd down. Can you do it?
Yeah. Are you sure?
Yeah, I can do it.
Get out there. Quickly. Come on.
Let's do Como La Flor.
But start it slow.
You got it.
Front page!
We're on so many covers! - You said we couldn't do it!
What is Dad doing? Listen to this.
"Selena is the genuine artist of the people."
You're an artist!
I've never seen so many people before.
I've never been scared by a crowd, not even when I was nine.
But then you started to sing and they all loved you.
Sometimes I think about
the things I never had.
I never had a normal childhood.
I finished high school by mail.
Spent more time in Big Bertha than I have anywhere else.
But when I was on that stage
it was like nothing I ever felt before.
It's hard to describe. I just had this feeling like
my dreams
were the same as the dreams of all those people in the audience.
Like all their hopes were centered on me.
And I just felt lucky.
I felt really lucky.
I know why they love you so much.
Oh, yeah? Why?
Because I love you, too.
I mean it.
You're my best friend. I can talk about anything and you understand.
I've thought a lot about what you said to me
that night in L.A. By the dumpsters.
I don't want to be that dumb.
I don't want to lose you.
I don't want to lose you either.
When I was five years old and my parents split up
every day I've remembered the feeling I had when I knew
my father wasn't coming back.
Until I met you.
I don't feel like that anymore.
I love you.
I love you, too.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I have a surprise for you.
You do? - Want to see it?
Hold on! Wait for me.
Okay. Everybody off the bus.
What's going on? Off the bus.
Get off!
You, stay in. You, stay in. Get off.
This is over, right now. - What do you mean?
This. You and him. It's over.
You can't tell us what to do. - I can tell you anything I want.
I know who you are.
I come from the streets. I know what a bum musician is.
Don't talk to him like that!
I can say anything I want to say to him!
I won't have this in my family.
Let's get this straight.
You're not to see each other like this again.
I'm not agreeing to anything.
You can't tell me who I can and can't...
You wait!
You'll ruin your career and your life! You're 20! Give yourself time!
I don't care what you say! It doesn't matter! I love him!
What did you say?
I said
I love him.
And he loves me.
Of course he does!
You're young, you're beautiful and you're rich!
You would say that!
It's not like that!
He cares about me.
The real me.
Inside!
There is no way
I'll let you take that away.
We're not going to stop seeing each other.
You listen to me!
If you think I'll allow you to mess up my family
ruin everything we've worked for, you're wrong!
I respect your family. I don't want to ruin anything.
I love Selena and we want to get married.
That's right. We want to get married.
That's it!
You're fired!
Do you hear me?
You can ride back home, but after that you're fired!
I can make my own way.
You cannot do this, Dad!
I'm not going to let you do this! Let me go!
Listen to me.
You all listen to me!
If you follow that man, I will disband the group!
There will be no more Selena y Los Dinos.
Do you understand me?
Do you all understand me?
It's over!
It's okay.
Mija, but your father is right.
You're too young to get married.
You and Dad were just as young when you got married. Younger.
It was different back then, Selena.
What was so different?
I was the daughter of poor farm workers. We didn't have any choices.
In those days there was no other way.
But you and Dad have been happy, right? - Yes. Yes.
I love your father very much.
But I wanted something different for my daughters.
A chance to see things.
To live, mija.
Look, mija, just wait a few years, okay?
I know it seems like forever to you now.
But believe me, it's the right thing.
But I love him, Mom.
I love him.
It's okay.
Selena! - Selena, Selena!
I hate this.
Can't even go to a burger joint
without worrying about someone seeing us and it getting back to Dad.
Pass the hot sauce. It's in the glove compartment.
Don't worry about it. Just give it time.
Where are you going next?
I don't know.
El Paso tomorrow. Some big gig.
They keep me busy between gigs, too.
Today I have to go to the waterpark with Sara.
I had to talk fast just to go shopping alone.
And you're here with me.
He says he'll break up the band if we keep seeing each other.
So what? I can do other things.
I can design clothes.
I've always wanted to do that.
You don't want to quit music.
No.
Making it to the big time is important to you.
I mean, being big in Mexico and doing that whole English crossover thing.
You once felt like everyone's hopes and dreams were centered on you.
It means a lot to you, right?
It does.
What if they're right?
About us getting married.
They feel like it's going to hurt the act, not just Abraham.
Abie, Ricky, Pete, Joe, Suzy.
They all think that.
Let's do that Velcro thing over there.
Want to go on that? The spider web thing?
That one there. - Yeah! That's cool!
We can all do it together.
How about that?
Sel, you're so full of it.
You wouldn't do that. Dare me.
I dare you. Don't dare her!
Wait! I was just kidding! I'm going!
Sel, wait a second!
What're you doing?
Shouldn't have dared me.
Get off!
Come on! Have you lost your mind?
This isn't funny!
Come down!
What're you doing?
See you later.
Nobody's laughing!
Get down here!
If you look down, you won't do it.
Step back.
Right hand on the side. Left hand on the other side.
Come on. The hardest part is letting go.
What're you doing here? - I've had it!
I've had it! I can't take it anymore!
El Paso is 12 hours away. You should be getting on the bus.
I don't care! You mean more to me than any gig in El Paso!
Your father'll know that you're here. - Let him know!
Let him! Okay? I'm tired of hiding from him.
I'm tired, too. But everything's going to get messed up this way.
Can't you just hold me?
I don't want it messed up. - Do you want to be with me?
Of course I do.
Do you want to be with me forever?
Forever. You're it for me.
Let's do it. Let's get married now.
Married?
That's crazy.
You don't want to marry me? - Of course I want to.
But the right way.
What's that?
With you wearing a beautiful white dress
and your friends in those different
colored dresses.
Bridesmaids, Chris.
Yeah, bridesmaids and lots of flowers and your family.
I don't care about all that! It's not the important thing!
I know it's important to you to have your family at your wedding.
And it's important to me, too. Because I care for you.
You're right.
I would love that.
To have a big wedding.
And my dad give me away.
That would mean more to me than anything.
But it's never going to happen.
I know him, Chris.
I know what he's like.
And he will never accept us! Never!
All right? He's dug his heels in and that's it.
The whole worid, all Corpus Christi could tumble down and he wouldn't budge!
The only way he will know I am not going to give you up
is if we go out and get married right now.
Then he'll have to accept us.
But what if he doesn't?
I'll still have you.
And you'll have me.
And there's no gig in the worid more important than that.
I love you.
Let's get married.
Yeah? - Yeah.
How does it feel to be married? - It feels great.
I like it.
But it also feels like I don't know what we got ourselves into.
Look, don't worry. Okay?
You don't know what it's like to be a Quintanilla. We're tight.
Like this.
And I'll talk to my dad.
I'll find the right way to tell him. Okay?
Okay, Sel, but listen.
Just in case things are not okay, I can take care of you.
I can make up to $400 a week doing sessión work, and bands want me.
I can take care of you.
I love you.
See? That's my macho man talking!
I love you, too! I love you!
Lt'll be okay.
DJ. Here's some late-breaking news for you Selena fans.
We have found out Selena got married today
to the lead guitarist from her group, The Dinos.
Selena and Chris Perez tied the knot.
Here's a great big congratulations to the happy couple.
It's on the radio already.
Don't go to Corpus! Go the other way!
Where will we go, Alaska? Anywhere but Corpus!
We just have to give him a day.
I know my dad.
Tomorrow.
I'll talk to him tomorrow.
Wait here.
Good luck.
Dad, I know you're angry.
Come in.
Sit down and shut the door.
When I found out yesterday what you had done
I went crazy.
I didn't know what to do.
I went for a walk on the beach to where I took you when you were a little girl.
I remember.
I sat there for hours and I cried. I cried like a baby.
Dad, I didn't mean to...
Listen.
This might sound a little strange, but...
I'm glad you did it.
It was a great weight on my shoulders.
I forced you into it.
No, you didn't. - Listen.
I can be stubborn.
You did what you had to do.
But I wanted what was best for you.
I know that.
I think that's why I knew it was going to be okay.
You know that day on the bus when
Chris said he loved you?
Yeah.
I know he meant it.
He did mean it.
We both love each other very much.
But it scared me.
I don't know how to let you go.
Dad.
I just want you to be happy.
I love you, Dad.
Chris!
We don't need the getaway car?
Everything's cool? Everything's good.
Come here!
Welcome to the family!
Hey, brother-in-law!
You're stuck with us.
Congratulations. Thanks.
You take care of my sis.
You know it. - I know.
Y'all know we got a gig tonight in San Antonio.
Get on the bus or we'll miss it.
And you all know how I hate to cancel gigs.
Chris, you got your guitar?
Yes, I do.
Come here, son.
You're a good man.
Welcome to our family.
Did it really happen? Are we here? - We're here.
Married? And it's okay with everybody?
We did it.
I feel like I could do anything.
I want the whole worid
dancing to my music and wearing my clothes!
Then that's what'll happen.
Guaranteed. Pretty soon, everybody'll look like Selena.
For the first time in my life, I swear, I feel like I'm free.
Like I could fly if I wanted to.
Like I am flying.
She's taking off.
And now with this Grammy nomination, she's like a rocket.
She's very happy.
The happiest she's ever been.
We're happy, too. Record sales have been phenomenal.
She's fantastic. I think she's the next Gloria Estefan.
We want to make a major English-language album.
English-language album?
A crossover album.
The best producers. The best songwriters.
Everything first-class.
Is she ready?
There'll be major promotion.
She'll be on all the shows.
Leno, Letterman, everything.
She's ready.
We've been ready for a long time.
REPORTER. How do you feel, Selena?
I am so proud. We've been working so hard for this day.
I want to introduce you to Martin.
He's the designer I work with.
And Yolanda Saldivar. She's handling the business end for me.
She's my fan-club president.
It's like a dream come true.
So, let's do it!
Come in and I'll give you a tour.
Do you have the sandblaster to work on her feet?
Sign right here.
What is that? - Inventory stuff.
Sign this.
It tickles. Stop wiggling.
Lt'll smear.
From now on your toes will look good.
I don't deserve this. No one cares about my toes!
I care about your toes!
Everybody who works for me gets a pedicure every week.
That's the rule.
Your feet look like irons.
All we need is a shirt. A wrinkled shirt.
What're you doing here?
Give me another one!
You like this color?
It's pretty. I like it. Why are you here so early?
I came to tell you Pete can't make it to L.A. For the Grammys.
Why?
Hi, Chris. - Hey, what's up?
He said he has a family thing, I don't know.
Now we have a spare ticket.
Is that the same thing? - Yeah, it is.
What're you doing today? - About 5,000 things.
Forget them and do 5,001.
Come to L.A.
L. A?
Please! - And do what?
Movie stars, rock stars, free drinks.
Free food. - You're crazy.
I can't, I must do inventory. Don't worry.
I can do it.
I know where the lists are. I know what needs to be done.
You go with Selena. Go!
Come on. - I have nothing to wear.
Then we're just going to have to go shopping! Come on!
REENIE. You know Andy Garcia 'll be there?
REENIE. He's so sexy! SELENA. I'll bring my camera!
We have to hurry. We don't have that much more time.
How much time do we have left? - Three hours.
Are you nervous?
Little bit.
I think you're going to win.
Get out! - I do. I do.
Doesn't matter if I win or not.
Dude! But I hope I do!
There's a store with nice dresses.
That's a pretty place, too. - Let's check there.
Look at that one. See that one in the middle?
We could find something in here.
Look.
Every bridesmaid's nightmare.
Looks like a suit of armor.
It's very Minnie Pearl.
Now, this is nice.
What do you think?
Where will I get the boobs for that?
True.
I'm kidding.
You like this? This is nice. - It's pretty. I like the color.
Excuse me, can we try this on?
You won't be interested in that one.
Why?
Because that dress is $800.
Can you take if off the mannequin? We'd like to try it on.
I want it to fit.
Suck it in! I'm trying!
We'll get you a girdle.
It is too tight! It is not!
Selena?
Hi.
Selena's here. - Where?
Selena's in the mall!
My God! There's Selena!
What's going on?
You doing good in school?
Can I have your autograph?
What's going on? It's Selena!
Who's Selena? - She's here for the Grammys.
The Grammys?
What do you think?
Me either.
Excuse me, miss? Excuse me?
We don't need the dress.
Thanks.
Thank you.
What's your name? - Heather.
PRESENTER. The nominees for Best Mexican-American Album are.
Vicente Fernandez...
Whether or not you get on stage tonight, you're it.
Someone else gets the Grammy
we'll kick their butts.
PRESENTER. And the Grammy goes to.
Live, Selena!
First, I'd like to thank my family.
My dad, who's my manager.
Dad, I love you.
My mom.
I don't know what I'd do without you.
Abie, who's my brother and produces all my music.
Suzette,
thanks for always being there.
To my husband, Chris...
I love you, baby.
And I'd especially like to thank
the fans.
Because without you
we'd be nothing.
Thank you.
REPORTER 1. The fashion show was a success. How does it feel?
I'm just so happy. I'm so excited.
REPORTER 2. When'll your fashions hit the boutiques?
Probably about another month.
She's been so great.
Everybody chipped in and we'll get her a present. A ring, from all of us.
Would you like to chip in, too? - That's great.
I was just thinking we should do something like that.
I know a place where we can get her...
I know the perfect ring she would love.
REPORTER 3. Any men's fashions?
We'll stick to women's for now. Don't know how they'd look in a bustier.
Here, give me the money
I'll go shopping in a few days.
It'll be ready by the time she comes back from Nashville.
Oh, that's wonderful, Yolanda. Thank you.
Don't worry about anything. I'm sure she'll love it.
Chris, how's married life treating you? - It's good.
He better say that!
REPORTER 4. Any plans for a Selena 's boutique in Mexico?
SELENA. We've been thinking about it.
That's it. We got that down. That's a hit.
I always knew it.
We got gold, gentlemen.
They said you're a hit and that we got gold.
I told you, girl.
It's a hit!
You did it. Oh, man!
I bet everybody'll wonder how I learned English so fast.
I'm starving! Hey, Dad!
Pizza!
So proud of you.
Watching you cut that record.
Boy.
You broke the Tejano music scene wide open.
No woman's ever been able to make it.
Now you're Number One.
You walk into Mexico and
they don't even accept Mexican-Americans and they love you.
And now...
And now?
Gringos!
Disney Worid!
You remember. - Yes.
All those barriers people have been trying to get past,
you went right through them as if they didn't exist.
Maybe for you they don't exist.
I love you.
And I'm very proud of you.
Thanks.
I'm tired.
How about this blue?
Blue, out!
That's pretty. - Isn't it?
I think you should go with that one.
You know, Selena, I am so proud of you
for the opening of the boutique and the new record.
You mean so much to me, I bought you a little present.
You shouldn't have done that.
Oh, my gosh!
That is so beautiful.
A ring with an egg!
I love it.
You're such a good friend.
What'd you get?
Junk food.
Good.
How's the grass growing? Good.
You know what? I want a farm.
A farm?
Not a big farm. A little farm.
About 10 acres.
You want me getting up early and riding a tractor?
Yeah, and I want you to feed the pigs.
Feed the pigs. I don't think so.
I want lots of animals, too.
We'll put a fence in the front
and have all the cows and chickens and horses and goats and pigs.
Wait, wait.
You have to keep different animals apart or they'll eat each other.
Not my animals. My animals will get along great.
Whatever you say.
I've been thinking
about, maybe, having little animals of our own.
Kids?
Why not?
Yeah, but what about the singing and the touring?
I mean, you want to give it up?
No, of course not.
But we could take the kids along with us.
It's a family act, right?
So, you're talking kids,
a career,
and a farm with lots of animals.
Yeah.
Why not? Anything's possible.
Kids, huh?
Okay.
Let's do it.
Yeah? - Yeah.
Let's get started!
Go, go, go! You forgot the food!
Hey, Dad. What is so important you had to drag me over here?
Selena, we got a problem and I don't even know where to start.
It's Yolanda.
What?
Fans complained that they sent money to the fan club and received nothing.
Not a picture. Nada.
Then we found out she had had a problem with a previous employer.
What problem? Because Yolanda wouldn't do that.
Money problems.
We didn't find out about it because they settled out of court.
I went through the records of the fan club and found these checks.
They're very suspicious.
And what's worse,
is a lot of the records are missing.
Selena,
I'm worried.
She's handling all the boutiques.
I know.
I don't know what to tell you.
It's true. I did have a problem with a doctor I worked with.
But I would never take anything from Selena.
Never.
I love Selena.
I don't remember these checks.
What about the missing records?
I don't know where they are.
But I'll find them.
I will. And I'll show you.
We need an accounting of all the money.
Yolanda!
How could you do this to me?
I never took anything from you.
I trusted you with everything I have.
Never.
How could you do this to my fans? You know what they mean to me.
Please. Give me a chance to prove it to you.
Please.
Scratch my head.
Please?
You know, when we're finished touring for the crossover album,
Chris and I were thinking of having a baby.
A baby?
Come here, baby.
A baby.
I'll be a grandma?
Not tomorrow.
Come here.
I've been thinking about the crossover tour a lot.
I've even had dreams about it.
It's just this whole different worid for us.
We've been working for this ever since we were kids.
I guess I'm a little scared.
Are they going to love me?
Yes, mija.
They're going to love you.
Now go to sleep.
YOUNG SUZETTE. What are you doing here?
I'm looking up at the moon.
And I'm dreaming.
I've even had dreams about it.
DOCTOR. How is she?
Still no radial pulse.
