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
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.

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.

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.
