[SELENA, ECHOES] Guys! Watch me!
["NO DEBES JUGAR" PLAYING]
[IN SPANISH] Baby, enough
already with your games ♪
'Cause I'm not someone to play with ♪
Boyfriend, this ain't right ♪
'Cause I'm not here to serve you ♪
It's become easy for you ♪

- [FEEDBACK RINGS]
- [SOUND CUTS OUT]
[FEEDBACK WHINES]
AB, where did you go?
[GASPING] Chris!
[SOBBING]
[SCREAMS]
[SHUDDERS]
[SIGHS]
Oh, my God.
- [CHRIS] Hey. Hey, what's going on?
- [SIGHS]
- [CHRIS] Bad dream?
- Yeah, that my family was gone, and
- Oh.
- you were gone.
Oh, no, no, it's okay.
It's all right. I'm here.
It's okay.
But it's not, Chris. It feels real.
I haven't even signed the deal yet.
I haven't told anybody, and I still just
can't stop thinking about this.
- Hey, hey, it's okay. Everything's okay.
- [SIGHS]
Come on.
Don't let one nightmare
ruin all your dreams.
That sounds like a song.
Maybe it should be.
- [SELENA] Hmm.
- Let's go back to sleep.
[EXHALES]
[MOANS]
[CHRIS] I'm sorry to wake you,
but you told me to
wake you up in an hour.
Selena, this is why you shouldn't
stay up all night working.
Selena.
Can you do anything?
- Me?
- Yeah.
[CHUCKLES] Nah, I've been doing
it for years. You married her.
She's your problem now.
[CHRIS] Okay.
Sorry, babe.
I hate to wake you since you
only slept two hours last night.
Hey, Selena.
[SELENA] Mm.
You've gotta call the inspector.
[GROANS] Why doesn't
anybody let me sleep?
[HUFFS] Here.
- [CHUCKLING]
- [SELENA HUFFS]
Oh, man.
Everyone's always asking me,
"What's Selena really like?"
"Is she really so nice?"
I'm delightful. How dare you. Be quiet.
[SLURPING]
Can I have some?
Sure, yeah. Hold on. [SLURPS]
Oh. [SLURPS]
[ICE RATTLES]
- So rude.
- [LAUGHS]
Aww.
What's all this?
Wedding stuff. Buffet options.
Aww! What are we having?
We don't know yet, but we
are having a tasting Friday.
No, Suzy, don't do
Friday. I can't do Friday.
- Do Thursday.
- I didn't know you wanted to go.
- Yeah, I wanna come, so do Thursday.
- Bill can't do Thursday.
Why does Bill have to go?
He's just gonna choose brisket.
Well, so will I, so
you don't have to go.
Suzy, we should spend as
much time together as we can.
Why?
'Cause I think we should.
[SELENA CHUCKLES]
This is 'cause you didn't
have a wedding, huh?
Yeah.
It is, but that's stupid. It
was my choice to elope. [SIGHS]
Yeah, but I mean, you
tried to make up for it.
[SELENA] I know we got
married 11 months ago, but
because we didn't have a big wedding
I wanna do it for our
anniversary instead. [CHUCKLES]
[CHRIS] Wow.
- You like it?
- I love it.
But I don't want people to think
[CHRIS] Mm-hmm.
I just worry that if this
gets out, it becomes a
media circus.
No, no, it won't get out.
I already talked to the caterer.
She's gonna keep it a secret.
- Good. So is the florist.
- Good.
Everything's good.
[MAN ON RADIO] I don't know
where y'all gonna be on April 2nd.
My sources say if you're near
the Omni Hotel in Corpus Christi,
you might spot Selena
Quintanilla and her husband Chris
- as they celebrate a special something.
- Chris.
Stay tuned for details.
Now, let's get back to
Chris, how did they How? How?
- How did they get this information?
- I don't know.
I'm just disappointed. I wanted one day.
One. Is that too much to ask
for? One day where they're not
trying to know every every
detail of everything that I do.
I know.
I know. It's all right.
We're gonna have our day, okay?
I don't care if the whole
world is there to see.
As long as you and me are
there, it's gonna be fine.
Okay?
- And you're gonna be beautiful, right?
- [CHUCKLES]
Okay.
It's fine. I can't blame
the fans for wanting to know.
[SUZETTE CHUCKLES] They love you.
I mean
- Maybe Bill can change to Thursday.
- Really? Okay, good!
'Cause we shouldn't do buffet. We
should do sit-down. It's better.
Selena, did you call the contractor?
- Oh, God! Why didn't you tell me?
- I did.
Dad. Dad, I need to stop.
- Twenty miles.
- No, now.
I have a call with the
contractor. I'm already late.
[ABRAHAM] Mnh-mnh.
Dad, you know you would do
it if it was important to you.
Yeah.
[SIGHS]
- Thank you. I love you.
- But this is what I was talking about.
You know, a music career
is not a part-time thing.
- You should put that boutique on hold.
- No, Dad, I can't. I told you.
- I know I'm supposed to do this now.
- Mm-hmm.
Thank you.
- Go.
- [CHUCKLES]
Yeah, I miss you guys a lot.
But we head back after
the awards in Miami.
Hold on. Martika wants
to tell you something.
Hi, Daddy.
Today I did a somersault.
Wow, you did?
[MARTIKA] Yeah, and there was
a race at school, and I won!
I got a ribbon. Mommy was there.
How come you weren't there?
[SIGHS] It's cause I'm working, sweetie.
Okay? But, hey, listen,
the second I get home,
I wanna see you do a somersault, okay?
Okay.
[CHUCKLES] I love you, okay?
Put Mommy back on the phone now.
Okay. Bye.
Is the guy still there?
[YOLANDA] Yes, he thinks you should
get blueprints from a professional,
like a draftman or an architect.
- Okay, can you put him on the phone?
- Sure. You know
Selena, I can take a lot
of this off your hands.
That's sweet.
And thank you for meeting the guy there,
but until we open, you have your
hands full with the fan club.
But thank you, Yolanda.
Okay, hold on.
- Miguel.
- Yeah.
I told you this was gonna happen,
and it's only gonna get harder.
You need to get some help. Okay?
Hurry up.
What did he say?
Something about load-bearing walls.
I don't know, some electrical
needs to be brought up to code.
He's gonna make a list. Then I
have to get him a check to start.
Kind of sounds like more
than you thought it'd be, huh?
- Yeah, but it's gonna be fine, okay?
- I know. I know.
It just seems like a
lot of big decisions
to be making without really
thinking them through.
You're starting to sound like Dad.
Maybe you should start
listening to one of us.
[SCOFFS]
I'm sorry. I just meant
that we both love you,
and we both think that you're
just taking on a lot by yourself.
Because I'm gonna be by myself soon.
I have to get used to this, Chris.
[CHRIS SIGHS] Yeah, okay.
[MAN] Hey, can we get
some levels, please?
No song yet. Just
enough to find everyone.
Got it.
All right, sound check,
guys. Where's Selena?
- Selena! Sound check!
- [PLAYING ROCK TUNE]
I'm coming.
- Oh, I like that pedal.
- [AB] The Cry Baby?
[SELENA CHUCKLES] It
sounds like bubbles.
- [LAUGHS]
- [FUNKY ROCK TUNE PLAYING]
Itty bubbles, itty bubbles ♪
Itty bubbles ♪
Itty ♪
Bitty ♪
Little tiny fishes ♪
If I had one wish ♪
I'd be a fish ♪
Itty, bitty ♪

Hey! Hey! ♪
Oh! Mm! Fishes ♪
[MAN] Thank you, ladies and gentlemen,
for attending the
1993 Lo Nuestro Awards,
live from Miami. See you next year.
So, two weeks?
- Two weeks.
- Okay.
- [ABRAHAM] Let her know.
- Hey!
- [CHUCKLES] You're here.
- There she is.
Two Lo Nuestro Awards.
You beat Linda Ronstadt.
- Linda Ronstadt! It's insane.
- Oh, not to me, it's not.
So, Nancy tells me she talked
to a lot of great producers,
and two of the best writers
want to sit down with you.
- [SELENA CHUCKLES]
- Producers?
- AB, José's here.
- [AB] Mm-hmm.
He was just saying
there's so many writers
and producers that wanna work with us.
But it's flattering. Like I said,
though, AB's my producer. [CHUCKLES]
- [JOSÉ] Hey, man.
- José.
- [SELENA] Okay, I'll see you on the bus.
- Okay. Excuse me.
Can we
Sorry, I just
I haven't had the
chance to tell them yet
that if I do the English record,
they can't be on it with me.
- "If"?
- When. When.
Because Nancy said you
haven't signed the deal yet.
Well, no. I have to tell them first.
Selena
I know it feels like a
breakup or a goodbye, but
they will still be your band
and produce on your
Spanish-language records.
You just got two awards
tonight saying you
are very much in demand for that market.
Yeah.
But, honestly, yes, eventually
you have to be prepared.
I think that when your
English album hits,
you'll have less and less
time for anything else.
[CHATTERING]
- [JOE] You owe me.
- [RICKY] What?
- [LAUGHING]
- [JOE] You're buying.
Oh, I liked the song
about the bubbles. Did you?
Yeah, sure.
- Okay, Dad, what did you think?
- About what?
- The sound check song.
- About the fish?
Well, it doesn't have
to be about a fish.
It could be good for the new album.
What? No.
[ABRAHAM] Why not?
I mean, if the music is
good, people will like it.
Dad, it's about a fish.
It doesn't have to be about a fish!
Okay, well, right now I need
another "Como la Flor" or "Baila."
Okay, I didn't say that
it had to be a main song.
I thought it might be
good for the new record.
Son.
- I think she's right.
- Ooh, Dad thinks I'm right!
- And then I can write it too.
- Why?
Because I wanna help, AB.
Come on. I've written before. "Ámame."
Ámame, quiéreme.
- Now it's "Burbujitas de Amor."
- Oh, yeah. [LAUGHING]
Okay, fine.
I'll work on the music, but
I need those lyrics soon.
- Okay.
- Like, now.
Oh.
Your solo album's coming out.
Yeah.
- Then it's [WHISTLING]
- [AB CHUCKLES]
[SUZETTE] I can't believe
how soon our wedding is.
Yeah, Bill got us an apartment,
a little one for rent,
and I'm just packing up my life
so I can start there
right after the wedding.
Yeah, I'm nervous. All I've ever
known is my family and Big Bertha.
Uh, I'mma call you back, okay?
All right, I gotta Yeah, bye.
[BEEPS]
Everything okay, Mom?
Yeah.
[DOOR CLOSES]
[HUMMING]
[FUNKY ROCK TUNE PLAYING]
[ALARM BEEPING]
[BEEPING STOPS]
- Ooh, making breakfast? [CHUCKLES]
- [CHRIS] Yeah.
[GRUNTS]
And for the record, I did
not wake you up this morning.
Oh, yeah? Why not?
I didn't really feel
like dying today, so
[CHUCKLES] I'm not that bad!
[CLICKS TONGUE] Oh.
Although all this does look like
something left behind
by a serial killer.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
You know, there's some
pretty good stuff in there.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
I just can't find that that thing.
I don't I don't know what it is.
[SIGHS]
I don't know why you're putting
so much effort into this song.
[EXHALES] Well, because I have to learn
to do these things
on my own. I told you.
I know, but
you know that they're gonna
hire producers and songwriters.
Yeah, but not that know me.
You know, when I'm working with AB
or Ricky or Pete, I can say yes or no.
Or they just know what I like.
Changing that up, I just worry that
I might lose control of it
all or something, you know?
I'm not.
You not having control is something
I could never even imagine.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Okay, how many eggs?
[SELENA] Many.
[CHRIS] Oh, sh
- I'll get it. I'll just go get a towel.
- [GASPS]
[LAUGHING]
Don't worry. Don't worry. It's coming.
- You wanted scrambled, right?
- Yeah.
[HEART BEATING]
It's about the sound that
your heart makes when
you lay your eyes on your true love.
Oh, so when I drive by a Whataburger.
- Stop! I'm serious.
- [LAUGHS]
Hello.
- Daddy!
- Hey!
Baby! [KISSES]
- How are you?
- [MARTIKA] Good.
Vangie said she wouldn't go
to sleep, crying for her daddy.
Oh, well, I'm glad you're here
because I've missed you so much.
And Daddy's working all the time,
but I feel like we all
should move in here.
Don't say that around
Dad. He'll make it happen.
- Hey, baby! Oh! I missed you so much.
- [AB CHUCKLES]
- Do you wanna go play?
- [MARTIKA] Yeah.
- All right. Go ahead. Okay.
- [SELENA AND AB CHUCKLE]
- Don't get into things, okay?
- [MARTIKA] Okay.
No, it's fine. Maybe she'll
figure out this fish song for me.
- It's not about a fish.
- [UPBEAT TUNE PLAYING]
Is this the song?
- Yeah.
- I like it.
Yeah, but the style's
still all over the place.
- Reggae drums, funk guitar.
- But you like mixing sounds.
Yeah, but it's still
gotta fit on the record.
It still has to sound like us.
[MARCELLA] Yeah.
I'm trying to find a sound that
makes it fit with the Spanish sounds.
Martika.
Kinda like that.
[SUZETTE] What do we think?
- Are the sleeves too much?
- No! They're like wings.
- Not football shoulder pads?
- Wings.
You're my maid of honor, okay?
That means you have
to tell me the truth.
Matron.
What?
I'm your matron of honor. I'm married.
Well, that still means
you have to tell me
if I look like the Dallas Cowboys.
- [CHUCKLES] No, they're wings.
- [SIGHS]
[SELENA] You look beautiful.
Mom's just gonna cry.
That's the plan. [SIGHS]
What?
No, nothing. [CHUCKLES]
Selena.
[SELENA SIGHS]
I don't know.
Should I have done it the right way
with the dress and you by
my side and the whole thing?
[QUIETLY] I feel like I messed up.
I don't know. I don't feel like
I'm doing anything right anymore.
[SIGHS]
[SUZETTE SIGHS]
Did you just make my dress
fitting all about you?
[BOTH LAUGH]
- Yeah.
- [LAUGHS]
I thought so.
I'm happy the way I got married. I am.
- I kinda had to.
- Yeah.
I just feel sad.
If I did it the way that you're
doing it, then Mom would have
photos of both her girls in
their wedding dresses on the wall.
[SUZETTE SIGHS]
She really wanted that,
and I didn't give it to her.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Well

- [CAMERA CLICKING]
- Ooh, where'd you get these?
- Funeral next door.
- Selena!
- [LAUGHS] I'm kidding.
- It's a florist. [LAUGHS]
- Oh.
- Silly girl. They're beautiful.
- [SELENA] Yeah.
- Ah.
- [BEEPS]
Can I use your phone?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
- [DIALING]
- [LINE RINGS]
- [CHRIS] Hello.
- Hey.
- Did the manicurist chairs come in?
- Yeah.
- Well, do they look good?
- They look good, but
But what?
I guess the contractor
never got his check.
Ah. Okay. Um
All right, I'll deal
with it. Thanks. Bye.
- Everything okay?
- [SELENA] Yep.
You look so good.
- [SUZETTE] Thank you.
- Yeah.
[SCOFFS] So they just stopped?
Mm-hmm.
Well, I mean, if they don't get
paid, they're not gonna finish.
I'm sorry I told him you sent the check.
Well, I didn't send the check.
I forgot to send the check.
- They're gonna think I'm a liar now.
- No.
It's fine. We're gonna
find another contractor.
- Don't worry.
- But I'm so behind.
Chris, I just feel so stupid.
No, you're not stupid.
Come on, you got
rehearsals and interviews.
You're writing songs, playing shows.
Come on, you're a star. And
you're gonna be an even bigger one.
[GROANS] But I'm making
Dad right about all this.
I'm making you right, which is worse.
If you start to think you're right,
I might never win a
fight again. [LAUGHS]
That would never happen.
[CHUCKLES] No.
I just wanted to take
control of my life.
How am I supposed to take control
if I can't even
remember to sign a check?
You think if you ran into Janet
Jackson or Madonna right now,
they would have a
checkbook in their hand?
No, they have armies of
people who do that for them.
Yeah, uh Uh, Selena, sorry,
I probably shouldn't interrupt,
but I think a way to be
in charge of your life
is to choose who you want to help you.
No one can do everything alone.
Your father hired me to take the
load off, so I'm gonna ask again.
Let me help?
How would that even work?
You set up an account for the
boutique, for the expenses.
You let me sign the checks out of that.
I sign purchase orders, line
up the workers, pay the vendors.
I report to you, but you don't have
to worry about every little thing.
Someone I trust.
That sounds like you,
Yolanda. Thank you.
[SIGHS HAPPILY]
Problem solved.
Okay.
- [PETE CHUCKLES] It's not about fish.
- [SELENA LAUGHS]
No, sorry.
"Itty Bitty Bubbles" turned into
"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom." Mm-hmm.
I don't know if there's
Spanish for that.
[LAUGHS] No! It's the
same in every language.
It's the sound your heart
makes when you fall in love.
"Bidi Bidi Bom Bom."
Nice.
- This is good.
- Yeah?
- Yeah. Let's do it.
- Okay.
[PAGES FLIPPING]
- Hey, Pete.
- Yeah.
Can I ask you a question?
Yeah.
Was it weird going solo?
It was a little scary, sure.
You guys gave me a home for
a long time. So, leaving home?
Yeah.
But it was always my plan
before we ever met up.
It probably feels more natural for me.
Yeah, I've never not
been around my family.
[SIGHS]
Plus you guys are like my family.
[BOTH LAUGH]
But I also have my real
family, separate from work.
So whatever happens in my career,
I'll still always have them.
You know?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, I think so.
Thanks, Pete.
Yeah.
Let's see.
[CHUCKLES] It looks crooked.
There. Now, that's a bow tie.
There. You look handsome.
Are you ready?
No.
I know.
- Come on.
- [SIGHS]
[MARCELLA SIGHS]
[EXHALES]
[TV PLAYING]
[LAUGHING ON SCREEN]
[HUFFS] Seriously?
Right. Sorry.
[CLEARS THROAT] I'll get ready. Okay.
Come on, sweetheart.
Can I have the mirror anytime soon?
[SELENA EXHALES]
Yeah.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING]
- One with me and Selena now. [CHUCKLES]
- You got it.
Good.
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]
Well, don't we need We
need one with the whole family.
Where's AB?
AB!
Sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
- I'll kill him.
- [SELENA] He'll be here.
Everyone will be here.
Your whole family.
What is it?
[CHUCKLES] Nothing. You just
You just look so beautiful.
Sel, seriously.
I'm doing really good
not making today about me.
I'll give you a two-minute pass. Tell.
SBK Records wants me
to do an English album.
Selena!
But they want me to use
all new producers, and
all new musicians.
- Oh.
- I haven't signed anything yet.
- No?
- No.
Well
that's stupid.
What? Why?
[SCOFFS] Selena
We do what we do, but
we don't do what they do.
It's a different world.
Listen to the people who know
and let them do their jobs.
I've just never been without my family.
Wait. They said we can't
be your family anymore?
- No! [LAUGHS]
- I'm kidding! [LAUGHS]
Sel
this is what happens.
You grow up, you move on.
AB got married and moved out. You
got married and moved out. I've
I've never lived with anyone but my
family my whole life. I'm shaking.
Here I go.
We're always gonna be your family.
Like it or not, that's not gonna change.
Don't you dare cry before the
pictures! That eyeliner will be ruined!
[LAUGHS]
- Okay.
- Okay.
Do you think AB'll understand?
- [CHUCKLES] That don't matter.
- Why?
- Because I'mma kill him anyway.
- No.
- [AB] Sorry. Sorry, I'm late. Sorry.
- Stop, Suzy! Stop! Look
- I was so close. You have no idea.
- Okay! Suzy!
No. Your pass has expired.
You know what? It's me time.
- It's me time. It's me time.
- Run, run, run, run!
It's me time.
It's me time. [SIGHS]
- I love you. [CHUCKLES]
- I love you too.
