Selena

Abraham: We have to be more Mexican than the Mexicans and more American than the Americans, both at the same time! It's exhausting!

Abie Quintanilla: What's Dad gonna say?
Selena Quintanilla: [imitating Abraham] I can't believe this, son! What were you thinking?
[scene switches]
Abraham Quintanilla: I can't believe this, son! What were you thinking of? Where are y... 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! Look at it!
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 blew the Tejano scene 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: Yeah.
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.
Selena Quintanilla: Thanks.

Selena Quintanilla: I may not be street wise and all that, but at least I'm not that dumb!

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: 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.

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'll need an accounting of all the money, Yolanda.

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!
