Selena Page #3

---

I believe you.

You hear that music?

That's a "cumbia".

A "cumbia"?

It's a dance Dad and I danced

when we were young.

We did. She used to do

the "washing machine."

Want me to show you?

- Come here.

- Watch that.

First we start...

...moving your hips...

...like this.

There you go, mija.

Then bigger.

Bigger.

Add a little hop.

There you go.

- Do the "washing machine."

- Wait a minute!

There you go.

You get the "washing machine" going.

Your father likes it.

- That's it, the "washing machine."

- There you go!

You make a little circle.

And spin.

How's the bass?

It sounds good.

- What is it?

- What's she wearing?

She's practically got nothing on!

She's in her bra!

It's not just her bra. It's that thing

the girls are wearing.

She can't wear that.

There are men out there!

It's a bustier.

Bustier! That's a bra! Look at it!

I think she looks cute.

Hey, girl!

Say "hi" to the camera!

Hi, how are you?

You look pretty!

Tell us what it feels like

to be on the stage.

I'd like to thank all the little people

I stepped on to get here.

No more pictures, please!

$620?

This is not what we were talking about.

That's the way it is.

Those people came to see Selena tonight.

They love Selena!

What can I say?

She's just a woman.

You got my chin, dude.

When're we getting a road crew?

Dad's happy with the road crew he has.

- And I do mean you!

- 'Cause it's free.

Let's go, we've got

a whole stage out there.

Turn that thing off.

What's gotten in to you?

What're you doing

walking around wearing that?

Come on, Dad, she looked great.

Stay out of this.

It's just a bustier.

- It's a cool thing.

- It's a bra!

It's a bra with sprinkly things!

You cannot go out

wearing stuff like that.

It's indecent!

It's okay. She looked so good!

The crowd loved it!

Shut up! She's not your daughter!

You don't understand.

All the singers are doing it.

It's a style.

- They're wearing bras?

- Yes. Madonna, Janet Jackson.

Paula Abdul.

Mom, would you tell him.

You helped me make it.

You helped her make it?!

We did sew the jewels on together.

How come nobody can talk to me

about this kind of stuff?

You can't wear this kind of stuff!

Is that clear?

The rest of you guys,

get the equipment in here.

Come on!

- We'll talk to him later.

- Forget it.

Let's go get some more sh*t.

So much for my bustier.

You still mad?

I'm just trying to do what's

best for you. Sorry for exploding.

But, you know...

...you're my little girl.

I know that.

That's just it.

I'm not a little girl anymore.

You know what I mean.

I didn't wear anything bad.

Really, no one thought it was bad.

It's just the fashion right now.

On stage, you know.

It's entertainment.

We don't want to be old-fashioned.

No, we don't want to be old-fashioned.

Don't you think I look just as good

in those outfits as Paula Abdul?

You look better. But...

But what?

Keep your jackets on, okay?

Just leave them unbuttoned and...

...let the...

..."bustiela"...

Bustier!

Thanks, Daddy.

Take Bertha and fuel it up.

Gas is miles down the road!

Diesel fuel. Don't make any mistakes.

I can't even switch the gears.

You can do it. You've been practicing.

I've seen you do it.

- Not by myself.

- You can do it.

- What's up?

- You can do it.

Go with him.

Diesel.

You're fueling.

I hate that.

You tanking up the bus?

Wait! We're going!

Just stay out!

Look at Wonder Woman and her sister.

Quiet! I must see you drive Big Bertha.

Let's go.

- I can do this.

- Last time it was disastrous.

There we go!

- This is good, A.B.

- Smooth!

I need Dramamine!

- Bertha and I are one!

- I'm getting dizzy!

We lost a bumper!

- That's all I can find.

- What's that going to do?

- It's the biggest one I could find!

- Bring more grass!

- Bring me something else!

- Look where we are!

You'll get dirty.

Get the bus out, or Dad'll kill me!

There's no more stuff.

Go get more stuff.

Consider yourselves dead,

because it's not working.

Hey, dude, stop! Come on! Come on!

You're scaring the cars away.

- What should I do?

- Stand back.

- You're crazy.

- Let the master work.

Show him.

Here comes one now!

They stopped!

Did you see that "ruca"?

She looks just like Salinas!

Rewind. Come on, let's go!

Fast!

Can you help us out? We're stuck.

It is Salinas!

We've been stuck for a long time.

This ditch just snuck up on us.

Now we need to get pulled out.

I got a V-8 and 400 horses.

I can pull anything out of anywhere.

Mi hermanita won't believe this!

If you pull it forward there,

we'll hook it up.

Right here.

- A little bit more.

- Go for it, dude. Move it.

Go for it! Gun it!

I'm giving it all!

- Gun it!

- Go for it!

The bumper, man.

Look at this.

We'll buy you a new one.

- We're sorry.

- We'll buy one.

We'll replace it.

- We'll polish it, dude.

- What can we do?

- Do you need a new one?

- Are you kidding me?

This bumper's going to go

on the wall of my garage.

I'll put a sign under it saying:

"This bumper was pulled off

by the bus of Salinas."

You like that?

Anything for Salinas.

Let's go.

Let's get you set in first.

Let's put it in.

Watch the seat.

It was cool of you to do this.

Thanks.

- No problem.

- You need a ride to a phone?

We passed a phone a couple miles back.

Yeah, there's no one nearby.

We must call Dad.

"I can't believe this, son.

What were you thinking?"

I can't believe this, son.

What were you thinking?

What happened?

Where are you?

Who's laughing? Selena?

Where are you?!

He didn't care about his bumper?

No, he was happy.

You should have seen these

two tough "cholos". Right?

They had tattoos.

They were cool.

He wants to hang it in his garage.

Like a shrine.

He was like, "Anything for Salinas!"

Not "Selena" but "Salinas"

with an "S"! It was weird.

He didn't even let me pay for it.

He was happy to have his bumper

taken off by our bus.

By Salinas' bus.

That's right.

Quit it.

You're it, girl.

I'm scared of you, girlfriend.

"Mi hermanita won't believe this!"

Anything for...

...Salinas!

They were not saying that!

Salinas with an "S."

I'm studying!

Oh! "I'm studying!"

See? This is it. Isn't it cute?

We could make

cowhide pants for the guys.

Then a little bolero jacket for me.

Then all black underneath.

You come up with cute designs.

And rhinestones everywhere.

You should be a designer.

I always wanted to do that.

Y'all are never going to believe

what's downstairs.

Come here!

Wait for me!

What planet is he from?

Planet Dumptruck.

Excuse us for a second.

Go on.

I know he looks weird.

I told you that. But he's brilliant.

But doesn't play our music,

he plays heavy metal.

He's a Tejano musician!

He's versatile. He can play anything.

He just likes heavy metal.

He's been in some trouble.

He's wild.

He's not wild.

It's just musician stuff.

Come on, Dad. You should know.

I'll take care of him.

He's a cool guy. Really.

Look, come on.

The boy can play.

How about cutting your hair?
