  • Ritchie Valens: What's going on?
  • Connie Valenzuela: [painting posters] Show business, Mijo. Show business.
  • Bob Morales: [posters look terrible] Show business? These look like shit. Even a monkey can draw better than this.
  • Connie Valenzuela: [sarcastically] Oh yeah.
  • Bob Morales: [painting posters late at night] Should have kept my mouth shut.
  • Connie Valenzuela: How could you do this to Ritchie!
  • Bob Morales: To Ritchie? I did this to me, okay!
  • Rosie Morales: That's my Bob, always thinking of others first.
  • Bob Morales: Shut your goddamn mouth!
  • Ritchie Valens: Hey man, don't take it out on Rosie, okay.
  • Bob Morales: Ritchie, you don't understand man. You don't understand a goddamn thing!
  • [walking away for the others]
  • Bob Morales: What do you think, the whole fuckin' world revolves around you!
  • [Bob arrives watching his mother listening to the radio, hearing the news about Ritchie's tragic death]
  • Ted Quillen: The youngest of the three stars killed in the crash was Ritchie Valens. At 17, this youngster from Pacoima, California won a place at the top of the charts with his hits "Donna", "La Bamba" and "Come On, Let's Go". Valens was still in high school when he was signed to the Del-Fi label. And just a brief eight months later... Ritchie Valens is gone.
  • Connie Valenzuela: [begins breaking down crying] No! NO! Not Ritchie, NOT MY RITCHIE! BOB, not my Ritchie! Not Ritchie, not Ritchie, Bob.
