- Abraham: We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time! It's exhausting!
- Mexican Guy: Anything for Salinas!
- Abie Quintanilla: What's Dad gonna say?
- Selena Quintanilla: [imitating Abraham] I don't believe this, son! What were you thinking?
- [scene switches]
- Abraham Quintanilla: I don't believe this, son! What were you thinking of? Who's that laughing? Is that Selena? Listen, where are you?
- Marcela Quintanilla: [Abraham is upset about Selena's "Top Outfit"] It's a bustier!
- Abraham Quintanilla: Bustiquela? Es un bra!
- Marcela Quintanilla: I think she looks cute.
- Selena Quintanilla: I've been thinking about the crossover tour a lot. I've even had dreams about it. It's just this whole different world for us, you know? We've been working for this ever since we were kids. I guess I'm a little scared...
- [whispers]
- Selena Quintanilla: Are they gonna love me, Mama?
- Marcela Quintanilla: Yes, Mija, they're gonna love you.
- Abraham: No female has ever made it and now you're number one. You cracked the Tejano market wide open. You walked into Mexico and they don't even accept Mexican-Americans and they love you, and now?
- Selena Quintanilla: And now... gringos. Disney World!
- Abraham: You remember?
- Selena Quintanilla: Uh-huh.
- Abraham: And all the barriers that have stopped people before... and you went through them like they didn't exist. Maybe for you they don't exist. I love you, and I'm very proud of you.
- Abraham Quintanilla: You were out there wearing a bra!
- Selena Quintanilla: It's not a bra!
- Abraham Quintanilla: It's a bra with little sprinkly things on it!
- Selena Quintanilla: You know I was just thinking, I've never seen you dance. Do you dance?
- Chris Perez: Dance? Oh yea, I dance. Yea I put on my white shoes and black jacket and dance like John Travolta.
- Selena Quintanilla: Yea, well, we can dance this. Come on. Let me see you dance.
- Chris Perez: I was just kidding.
- [Chris eats pizza with Hot sauce]
- Selena Quintanilla: Now you have to try some of mine.
- Chris Perez: I don't eat pepperoni, too hot.
- Selena Quintanilla: [on Chris] I love him. And he loves me too.
- Abraham Quintanilla: Of course he does! You're young, you're beautiful and you're rich!
- Selena Quintanilla: [their elopement has been heard on the radio and Chris tries to turn to the Corpus Christi entrance] Don't go to Corpus, go the other way!
- Chris Perez: Where are we gonna go, Alaska?
- Selena Quintanilla: Anywhere but Corpus!
- Selena Quintanilla: Hey dad, what was so important you had to drag me over here?
- Abraham: Aye, Selena we have a problem. And I don't know where to start. It's Yolanda.
- Selena Quintanilla: What?
- Abraham: We started to get complaints from fans who had sent money to the fan club and had received nothing. Not a picture, nada. Then I found out she had a problem with her previous employer.
- Selena Quintanilla: Well what kind of problem? Because you know Yolanda. She wouldn't do that.
- Abraham: Money problems. We didn't find out about it because they had settled it out of court. But I went to the records at some of the fan clubs to find these cheques. They're very suspicious to me.
- [Selena looks at the cheques]
- Abraham: And what's worse, is that a lot of the records are missing. Selena, I'm worried. She's been handling a lot of business in the boutiques.
- Selena Quintanilla: [unnerved] I know.
- Yolanda Saldivar: I don't know what to tell you, Mr. Quintanilla. 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.
- Abraham Quintanilla: What about the missing records?
- Yolanda Saldivar: I don't know where they are. But I'll find them. I will. And I'll show you.
- Abraham Quintanilla: We need an accounting of all the money.
- Yolanda Saldivar: [after Selena's death, sobs on the phone with a gun to her head] I can't put the gun down! Because I'm ashamed of what I've done! I don't deserve to live! Look at what I've done to my best friend! I want to talk to my mother!
