- [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]

[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 k*ller.

[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]

- Did the manicurist chairs come in?

- Yeah.

- Well, do they look good?

- They look good, but

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.

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]

this is what happens.

pictures! That eyeliner will be ruined!

- Okay.

- Why?

- Because I'mma k*ll him anyway.

- No.

- Stop, Suzy! Stop! Look

- I was so close. You have no idea.

- Okay! Suzy!

No. Your pass has expired.
