Selena Page #3

---

- Do you have to take this stuff out?

- Yes.

I'll take your order in a minute.

We'll bring your food in a minute.

Whose plate is this?

That girl is really cute.

That's my daughter.

She sings pretty, doesn't she?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'll bring somebody to pick this up.

I just dropped a plate over there.

Go pick it up!

These plates are too hot.

Move them from the fire! Now!

Everything will be fine.

They love the restaurant.

The people love our band.

They love the kids.

You heard that lady.

We'll make a lot of money here.

Abraham, I don't care about the money,

you know that.

As long as the kids are taken care of,

I don't care.

We had everything.

We bought our house so our kids

would grow up in a nice place.

That was my dream.

We had security.

You promised me.

I guess this is your dream.

I'm sure everything'll be fine.

"Birds fly over the rainbow

"Why then, oh, why can't I?"

What are you doing here?

I'm looking up at the moon.

And I'm dreaming.

About?

Let's just say you wouldn't imagine

what my dreams are like.

When I saw those people applauding...

I mean, what did you feel?

What did you think?

It was so cool. I've never seen

so many people smile before.

- It was exciting.

- I know.

It was.

When I'm up on stage...

...I feel like...

...like I can be anything I want to be.

Don't steal them all!

Don't hog all the candy!

Selena, come here. Come here, baby.

Come here. Look at this.

Come on, Dad. Please.

- I want to go outside and play.

- Come on, just a second.

Give me a minute, okay?

Here, look at this.

What's this?

It's a song in Spanish.

I don't know Spanish.

Say that word.

Put your tongue on the roof

of your mouth, then blow air out.

Did you feel it? Do it again.

Say that word, "reloj".

Perfect.

That means:

"Clock, don't mark the hours

because I'm going nuts."

I know, it sounds weird in English...

Dad, what's this about?

It's about learning to sing in Spanish.

I don't want to sing in Spanish.

I don't like Spanish music.

I like Donna Summer.

That's what I like.

You like performing?

Yeah, Dad, I love it. It's like

you can feel them when you sing.

It's a wonderful feeling.

But let me tell you something

I learned the hard way.

I don't want you to learn the hard way.

When I was singing

with Los Dinos...

...they started throwing

beer bottles at me.

It sounds funny, but it scared me.

But I did learn something.

You've got to be who you are.

You can't change it.

You're an American.

So am I.

You like Donna Summer. I like doo-wop.

But you're also Mexican, deep inside.

That's a wonderful thing.

You can't be anything if

you don't know who you are.
