Go To

  • "Anything for SALINAS!"
    • Selena also correctly predicting her father's reaction: "I can't believe this, son! What were you thinking?!"
    Abraham: I can't believe this, son! What were you thinking?! Where are—Who's that laughing, is that Selena?
  • Abraham getting mad at the restaurant sign, thinking the G in Papagayo looks like a Y ("It says Papa Yo-Yo's!"). As they continue to argue, he proceeds to climb up on the ladder the guy is on and pulls at his shirt.
  • "Reloj, no marques las horas porque voy a enloquecer. That means 'clock don't mark the hours because I'm going nuts.'"
  • The bustier scene/Baila Esta Cumbia
    Abraham Quintanilla: You were out there wearing a bra!
    Selena Quintanilla: It's not a bra!
    Abraham Quintanilla: It's a bra. It's a bra with little sprinkly things on it."
    • "She can't be wearing things like that, there are men out here!"
    • A.B. Jr.: "So much for my bustier."
  • Selena winning the media over with her adorable attempt to speak Spanish at a press conference: "Me siento muy... me siento muy... excited!"
  • Abraham's band performing "We Belong Together", to which the people in the room began yelling and throwing bottles at them. They continue to harass Los Dinos as the police car pulls up, to which the police officer asks what they did to warrant such a reaction. One of them reacts with a "welp" expression saying, "Sang 'We Belong Together'"
  • When Selena's father finds out his wife helped his daughter make her bustiers, he responds by saying "Well how come no one can tell me this stuff?" completely ignoring how he has anger issues that turn people off from telling him certain things.
  • When Selena and Chris were making out in the bus and one of the bandmates walk in on them and walks out and Selena sheepishly ducks out of embarrassment.
  • When Abraham is telling Selena and A.B. about the difficulties of being Mexican-Americans, their reactions of "Here we go again" as his points turn into ranting and at one point Selena puts bunny ears on him. Then there's this exchange:
    Selena: Well, it's a good thing we've got frijoles and tortillas to keep our strength up for the job!
    Abraham: Now you're making fun of me.
    Selena: And menudo!
    A.B. Yeah, don't forget about menudo!
    Abraham: Now you're making me hungry!
  • Chris and Selena go on a date at a pizza shop where the former places a gratuitous amount of hot pepper flakes and Tabasco sauce on his slice, even as the former cautions him about it and he insists that he likes it like that. One bite of it later, however, he admits, "Too spicy!" as she laughs.
  • When Selena and her friend are looking for dresses to wear to the Grammys, they comment on the various dresses in a department store and why they don't like them: a dark green dress with poufy sleeves ("every bridesmaids' nightmare"), a slinky gold dress ("looks like a suit of armor"), a fluffy black hat which Selena tries on ("it's very Minnie Pearl!"), a short purple dress with garish swirls on it ("Ughh!"), and the best reaction when they see a strapless black minidress worn by an ample-breasted mannequin:
    Sara: Where am I gonna get the boobs for that?
    Selena: True. (Sara initially has a "Really?" reaction, only for Selena to put her arm around her and start laughing) No, I'm kidding!
