Selena: The Series (2020) s01e07 Episode Script

Drum kit last.
No equipment inside the bus.
Dad doesn't want to ruin the new interior.
Okay, guys,
we're classing this act up.
Black jeans or casual
for places we've played before…
Oh.
…and nice pants are
for cities we play for the first time,
so they think we're a big deal.
They'll think we're waiters, no?
We play a wedding,
someone's asking me for more bread.
Guys, no more weddings.
We're on a major label now.
We're big time.
Aww, I miss weddings.
We got good food.
Aww, I'll still play your wedding.
Aww, and I'll play yours too.
New roadies, let's go!
Uh-oh.
You two roadies are gonna be in
the roadie van following during the tour.
We leave in an hour.
- Do the two of you know the rules?
- Yes, sir.
So what happens if I catch you
drinking and doing drugs?
You fire us.
No, first, I kick your butt,
and then, if there's anything left,
then I will fire you.
- Go.
- Okay.
Am I late?
That's not gonna work out.
He was five minutes late.
Why don't you like him?
- Is it the hair?
- It's a feeling.
He's like…
one of the guys that
I used to run with in the streets,
and I would've never let any
of those guys on a bus with my family.
Dad, there are no other guitars to get.
Not as good as Chris
and not in time for this tour.
Clean him up at least.
Oh.
Oh.
- Hey.
- Hey, what's up?
Welcome to our home away from home.
Thanks.
- Uh, anywhere, Selena?
- Uh, yeah, anywhere's fine.
- Uh, just not there.
- Oh.
No, no. No.
Now, you're just messing with me.
I am. I'm messing with you.
You can put it anywhere.
Okay.
- Selena.
- Yeah.
- Hi.
- Hey.
Did you get your bag?
Mm-hmm.
Okay. We're leaving in a few.
Oh.
Like I want you ♪
To kiss and love
All through the night… ♪
Behar called.
- About the record?
- No, the next one.
He wants to get everyone excited,
so he's gonna need
three new demo songs right away.
Three?
I have stuff from the last record, so…
No, it has to be different.
Different how?
Different sounds.
More variety.
Cumbias, rancheras… mix it up.
You make the same album, you're just gonna
sell the same number to the same people.
Okay.
But not so different that it's not us.
Right.
But do we ever just get to, you know…
enjoy it?
That's a very good question, son,
but not one for your father to answer.
Dad wants you cleaned up,
so we're cleaning you up.
I know we just met, but this is happening.
Yeah, I know.
- It looks good. You're gonna thank us.
- I don't think so.
This is the status quo.
- Just leave it.
- No, we can leave it exactly like it.
Whoo!
With every kiss that you give me ♪
I love you more and more ♪
All the kisses that you have given me… ♪
I'm here! I'm late.
I'm so sorry, guys. We gotta go?
Thank you, Ricky. Aww!
Oh, there she goes!
Look at those moves.
Mm-hmm.
I need your kisses
Every night and every day ♪
Tell me, my love, that I'm your joy ♪
Tell me, my love
That your heart belongs to me ♪
I need your kisses
Every night and every day ♪
Tell me, my love, that I'm your joy ♪
Tell me, my love
That your heart belongs to me ♪
Aww!
Excuse me.
- I think you're out of this CD.
- Mm-hmm.
Good to restock.
Excuse me.
So, just the four bottles of hairspray?
- It's less than six.
- Okay.
- Just the eight bags of rhinestones?
- Thank you.
Thanks, Dad.
Mm-hmm.
One?
I didn't even take 'em all.
What?
Hey. I got a song.
- Have you been to bed yet?
- No. Come, listen.
Wait, let me get Sel.
I I thought I had more.
No. No, it's good.
No, it's just…
I had this great idea
in the middle of the night and…
I don't know. I'm sorry.
You'll find it, brother.
You're tired.
Go to bed.
Ugh, it's too early for a writing session.
Do you always do that?
No.
I mean…
- I hope not.
- Me, either.
I'll see you later.
- Hey. Breakfast?
- Yeah.
They have real bacon.
Mm.
That's so pretty. I know that.
Oh, uh…
- "More Than Words." No way!
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look.
No way.
Yeah. I bought it
'cause I really like that song.
But the rest of it is like…
really heavy metal.
Yeah, well, it's kinda like when people
bought "Every Rose Has Its Thorn"
and then flipped it to the B side
and immediately blew their speakers out.
Yeah.
I guess everybody has a B side.
Nobody's just one thing.
Hmm.
US forces surrounded the Vatican
embassy in Panama City yesterday,
and began blasting American music
night and day.
Songs by Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses
were in the rotation
as an attempt
to make Manuel Noriega surrender…
Aww, man, how can we get one of our songs
on that list?
Hey.
Hello.
José.
How are you?
I don't think anybody's ever done that.
Him.
- Nobody.
- I'm gonna tell everybody…
Hey, Abraham.
What do you think you're doing?
- What have I told you?
- I know.
If we don't let the guys
blow off some steam,
they won't last the rest of the tour.
When they are with us, they represent us.
They represent our family.
They can blow off steam
on their own time, not on mine.
Got it?
Yeah.
Come here.
I was coming to tell you
that I just spoke with Behar.
He's gonna have bigwigs from the pop world
come and see us at the TMAs
to help us get the crossover record.
That's good. That's good, right?
Yes, but I want us to show them something
that they haven't seen yet.
- I've been working on new songs
- No, something different.
More different?
Something they could imagine us
doing on an English record. Modern.
- But in Spanish still?
- Of course, in Spanish.
Okay, so by when?
Well, we have to write it…
record it, rehearse it, so…
Now.
Yes, now.
You got this, son.
Saying I love you ♪
Is not the words I want
To hear from you… ♪
Oh, my God, this song again!
…I want you ♪
Not to say, but if you only knew ♪
How easy it would be ♪
To show me how you feel ♪
- More than words ♪
- Can you stop?
Okay.
I need to do this, all right?
I hate to be that guy all the time,
but I am.
Sorry, thank you.
Try slowing it, like, a little.
Hmm. No. Faster again.
Nah, slower was better.
You think famous songwriters just
look at the keyboard one day and think,
"That's it. I'm dry. No more"?
Huh. Sure.
Then someone comes around for the rent,
and they get back at it.
Mm. Your new dance moves
on stage are looking so good.
Thank you.
If I have to stare at her backside
all night, I at least want a quality show.
I always feel so alone out there, though.
Like the girl who hits the dance floor
at a wedding and nobody comes out.
Well, Pete dances.
Why don't you have him do it with you?
Yeah.
Whenever you guys sing duets,
the ladies go crazy.
- Everyone probably thinks you're together.
- Me and Pete?
No. I mean…
I like him, but he's not my type.
Plus, he's in the band, so…
Yes, that's true.
Order ready!
You need backup dancers.
Hmm. Hey, like Madonna.
Or Paula Abdul.
Oh, I should totally have backup dancers.
Not many, though. Like, six.
Six backup dancers, Sel?
Six or eight.
That's such a good idea.
I'm gonna tell my dad you thought of it.
Please don't.
They're asking for something different,
but not too different,
that they can imagine in English,
but in Spanish.
Sure, no problem.
I'm so wiped out, man.
What about something already in English
that we turn into Spanish?
Okay.
Remember that song we did
for the English demo
the one the record guys hated?
Was it the beat?
They didn't "hate it."
Well…
Could work. Fill it out some.
I'll write it up in Spanish.
You add some of that funky bass.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to the Tejano Music Awards.
And now one of tonight's nominees
for Entertainer of the Year,
Selena!
I'm in love with you ♪
I'm in love with you ♪
I feel an emotion ♪
Inside my heart ♪
Just by hearing your voice ♪
You take away my sadness ♪
Without your love ♪
I am like the sun without its warmth ♪
If you are not here ♪
Everything is sad and worthless ♪
Entertainer of the Year
three times in a row!
I mean, I don't get it.
I still don't find you that entertaining.
Yes, you do!
I never enjoy it as much
when you guys don't win too.
You should have.
That's okay, because…
Your success is our success.
Well, you guys are very sweet.
- And I got my dancers!
- Yeah!
Dad, the audience loved it.
We should really do it more.
How many dancers can I have?
- Zero.
- Dad!
Tsk. Ah, well,
I guess it's just you, Pete.
Well, when you ask like that,
it would be my honor.
- AB.
- Yeah.
Everything was so good…
Look,
we got a few days at home after Miami.
That'd be a good time for you to lay down
some of that new stuff for Behar.
Yeah, of course.
You have more new stuff, right?
Yeah, for sure.
Hey.
Hey!
If you wanted to be alone, I can just
No, no, no. I just got up early.
Dad was snoring.
So, how is it, all this?
All what?
The tour and the band.
I'm sure this is all pretty tame for you.
Uh, I don't know
what you heard about me, but…
I don't know, I'm pretty low-key.
I just like to play my guitar.
That's it?
What do you mean?
I don't know, like, what besides that?
Like, I wanna sing,
be the biggest star in pop music…
…and I wanna play stadiums,
and I wanna design clothes
and sell them in shops,
and then branch out into more shops
and salons that sell clothes and makeup
and jewelry and our records.
Wow.
No, just the guitar for me.
Uh, I don't really like to think
about the next thing, you know?
Go with the flow, huh?
Yeah, I guess, and…
I think if you're too busy thinking
about where you're going,
you don't really have a chance
to enjoy the ride, you know?
What's gonna happen
is gonna happen anyways, right?
No, I think you have to make it happen.
Well, I guess
we're just not the same, then.
- Not compatible.
- No.
No, we could never be together.
Your loss.
Which one sounds better?
Or this?
Hmm. They sound the same.
- Sorry.
- Well, they're not.
Okay.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine. Hey, listen.
Are you okay if I go for a walk
or something, just to get out?
I mean it.
I'm sorry.
I know. Really, I just wanna take a walk.
Yeah. Go on. I got her.
Hey.
Is something going on?
- With what?
- With you and Chris?
No.
Because you can't like him.
I don't.
I mean it, Sel. Dad would freak out.
- There's nothing to freak out about.
- He's in the band.
Ricky's in the band. Do you like him?
I don't like Ricky. Ricky's a friend.
Okay. So is Chris.
Okay.
It's so crazy to see you as a dad.
And I can't believe you change diapers.
- I like changing diapers.
- You like it?
You get used to the mess.
But when I'm changing her,
she's just looking up into my face.
Like, "Hi, there. You're my dad."
And I'm like, "Yeah, I am."
It's our special time.
Hmm.
Hey, brother…
I need a favor.
What's up?
Has Chris said anything about me?
What do you mean? Like what?
If he likes me.
Whoa. You kidding?
I don't know. Can you just ask him?
- Selena, what are we, in high school?
- I don't know. I didn't go to high school.
You're gonna get him in trouble.
If Dad finds out,
he's not gonna kick you out of the band.
He's gonna kick Chris out. Where
am I gonna find another guitar player?
There's nothing to find out.
He'll probably say that he doesn't.
Can you just ask him?
Fine.
I'll ask.
Good, good…
- What are you wearing?
- Black.
Classy black?
Mm-hmm.
Then why do they look so faded?
Do they?
Change, please. Okay? No jeans. Classy.
Okay.
Chris.
- What up, dude?
- Hey, listen.
Selena's cool, right?
Yeah, of course.
Right, so you think she's cool?
Yeah, man, everyone thinks Selena's cool.
No, but, like, do you?
I'm sorry, what are you asking?
You know, do you like her?
I mean, you're her brother.
Yeah, I know.
And she's the lead singer.
Right, so…
I got
Have a good show. I'm gonna…
Hug me like you've never held me ♪
And kiss me
Like you've never kissed me ♪
Because you're the light ♪
The light that lights up my life ♪
Listen to me ♪
I want to tell you that I love you ♪
Have you here ♪
Have you here by my side ♪
Because my heart belongs ♪
My heart belongs to you ♪
Love me ♪
And I will give you all my kisses ♪
And all of my love ♪
Love me, want me ♪
Love me ♪
Yeah.
What is that…
you like about these fashion magazines?
Oh, that's illegal in 27 countries…
…and several other establishments.
Pretty sure that's illegal in,
like, 27 countries.
That's…
- That's what's gonna be popular.
- That's where you got that.
Yeah.
Okay, guys, listen up.
We're playing Miami in a couple days,
so I made us pastel pink suits,
like in Miami Vice.
- I think you'll like 'em.
- All right, now we're talking.
No, no, no.
Pink washes me out. I can't do that.
I was just kidding! Classy black.
AB, where you at?
Suzette has an idea for outfits.
Hey, maybe you could write about that.
Abraham.
- Abraham.
- Huh?
What are you doing?
No, just…
thinking.
Thinking about what's next?
You've been thinking about what's next
since I can remember.
Can you give yourself some time to rest?
- Probably not.
- Things are going well.
- That's why I have to keep thinking.
- What if they were going badly?
I'd have to think harder.
See, that's what AB was asking.
When do you get to enjoy it?
Soon, I promise.
Well, maybe "soon" is now.
Things are so good, Abraham.
I mean, yeah, we're traveling a lot.
But we're traveling with our family.
You know, most people just get to do that
once a year as a vacation.
We get to do it as our life.
Come on.
I do miss your cooking, though.
Do you remember
the first time I cooked for you?
Mm-hmm! Your parent's house. Hmm.
You brought your guitar, and you sang.
I put on a record, and we danced.
My guitar's in the garage, I think.
- You don't need a guitar.
- Hmm?
Ooh!
Hi, Ricky.
Sel!
What a beautiful star we have. Yeah!
- Hey.
- Hey.
Hey, great show tonight.
- Yeah, you too.
- Thanks.
I thought I might see you
for the break in San Antonio
when we were recording
"Baila Esta Cumbia."
Yeah, yeah, me too. Um…
AB got done
with all the guitar stuff early, so…
Right.
It was weird hearing you on the track
but not having you there.
I almost thought about calling you.
Oh, I wish you had.
Is it weird that I missed you?
I I missed you too.
You did?
Yeah.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I just…
I thought that would
Come here right now!
Everyone, now!
I have asked all of you
to be professional,
to follow the rules, to have respect.
I have put my trust
in each and every one of you,
and still, you disobey me.
I found this on the bus.
So, whose is it?
It's it's mine.
If you were working in a restaurant,
could you do drugs?
Uh, no, sir.
Go, now.
I don't know why it's so hard
for people to follow one simple rule.
Young people like to take risks, Abraham.
Not with my band.
Dad, I'm trying to sleep.
Night, mijita.
Hi.
Hey.
You all right?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just last night was, um…
was a little weird.
What? The kiss?
No, no, the kiss was…
the kiss was great.
But the idea of lying to my dad, it…
it felt like I wasn't just lying to him,
but…
betraying him somehow.
I hated that.
Uh-huh.
I just don't wanna sneak around
behind his back.
And I don't wanna get you fired.
And you would.
You would get fired.
No, yeah. Yeah, you're right. Of course.
Yeah.
So…
you know, before it goes any further,
I guess we should just…
Be friends?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
