Quotes 

• Chanel : [as her mother is going through her closet]  Ma, looking for something?

  Juanita : Found it, huh? The bomb top to wear to dinner tonight.

  Chanel : Ma, don't say "bomb." It's out. Say "tight."

  Juanita : Tight. Tight.

  Chanel : As in "That top is too tight for anybody's mom to wear."

• Juanita : [to Chanel]  You're gonna be my daughter the fashion buyer.

  Chanel : No, Ma. I'm gonna be your daughter the Cheetah Girl, remember?

  Juanita : Did you say something, mija?

  Chanel : Yeah, I said, "So, another date with that French guy?"

  Juanita : Excuse me, but Luc is not just "that French guy." How would you like it if people called you "the Puerto Rican, Cuban, Dominican..."

  Juanita : They do. That's who I am.

  Chanel : No. I taught you that what matters is what's inside.

• Chanel : Ma, what's up?

  Juanita : What's up? My credit card balance is up, that's what's up. I got declined. I bought some sandals.I wanted to wear them out of the store. The woman snatched them back so fast, she took the paint off my toes. Why would you do this, huh? Why?

  Chanel : Ma, I'm sorry. Look, I'll give it all back. I thought we were gonna be rich after this demo. I'll work. I'll pay you back.

  Juanita : I trusted you. I trusted you and you took advantage of me.

  Chanel : I trusted you! I trusted you to pay attention, Ma.

  Juanita : You did this because I broke a shopping date?

  Chanel : No, Ma. No. I did it cause Luc came in the picture and it seemed like my dreams didn't matter. It seemed like they didn't matter, but I've seen what it's like not to have a mom.

  [starting to cry] 

  Juanita : What? Calm down, calm down, calm down. Hey. Who doesn't have a mom?

  Chanel : I'll tell you later. I just wanted to thank you for always keeping me in your dreams.

  Juanita : Oh, baby.

  Chanel : No matter where they take us. Paris, Buenos Aires... it doesn't matter anymore. The Cheetah Girls are over.
