West Side Story Page #7

- You yellow-bellied Polack!

Riff! Riff, what are you doing?

Get out of here, Tony.

Riff, don't!

- Hold him.

- Ice, let me go!

Riff, don't!

Keep out of this!

Somebody stop him!

Let me go!

Ice! Tiger!

Riff! Riff!

- Come on, Nardo!

- Stop him!

Riff, don't!

Nardo! Corre!

Nardo, corre!

Get him!

MARIA!

Tony, come on!

Come on, Tony.

You've gotta get out of here.

Come on!

Come on, Tony.

Come on, get out of here!

Come on!

Come on, Tony!

Hey! Wait for me, Rosa!

Chino!

There was no-one downstairs.

My mother and father are at the store.

- I didn't expect you to come...

- Maria.

- You have been fighting, Chino?

- Yes.

I am sorry.

- That is not like you.

- No.

You must go home and wash up.

- Maria...

- I will see you tomorrow.

- At the rumble...

- There was no rumble.

- There was!

- You are wrong.

Nobody meant for it to happen!

Tell me.

It is bad.

Very bad?

You see...

It will be easier

if you say it very fast.

There was a fight.

And Nardo...

Somehow, a knife...

And Nardo and someone...

Tony. What happened to Tony?

Chino, tell me. Is Tony all right?

He killed your brother!

You are lying.

Chino! Why do you lie to me?

Chino!

Chino!

Chino, you are lying! Lying!

Why do you lie? Chino! Chino!

Mama! Mama!

Bernardo est muerto!

Bernardo? Muerto?

No!

Santa Maria, make it not be true.

Please make it not be true.

Madre de Dios, I will do anything!

Make me die,

only please make it not be true.

Le suplico... no puede ser!

Make it not be...

Killer, killer, killer!

Killer, killer, killer...

I tried to stop it.

I did try. I don't know what went wrong.

I didn't mean to hurt him.

I didn't want to.

But Riff was like my brother.

When Bernardo killed him...

Bernardo didn't mean it either...

I thought you knew.

I didn't come to tell you that.

Just for you to forgive me

so I can go to the police.

No!

- It'll be easy now.

- I won't let you.

- I must.

- Stay. Stay with me.

- Maria, I love you so much.

- Don't leave me.

- Whatever you want, I'll do.

- Hold me.

- Oh, forever.

- Tighter.

We'll be all right, I know it.

We're really together now.

But it's not us.

It's everything around us.

Then, I'll take you away

where nothing can get to us.

Not anyone... or anything.

There's a place for us

Somewhere a place for us

Peace and quiet and open air

Wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us

Someday a time for us

Time together with time to spare

Time to look

Time to care

Someday

Somewhere

We'll find a new way of living

We'll find a way of forgiving

Somewhere

There's a place for us

A time and place for us

Hold my hand

and we're halfway there

Hold my hand

and I'll take you there

Somehow

Someday

Somewhere

Baby John, what are you doing here?

Nothing.

What are you doing nothing here for?

Come on!

I don't want the guys to see me, A-rab.

Why not?

Well, I'm crying.

You are?

What for?

I don't know, I'm just...

Blow your nose.

A-rab?

Yeah?

Did you get a look at their faces?

- Which faces?

- You know.

At the rumble. Riff and Bernardo.

I wish it was yesterday.

Me too. I'm scared.

Cut it out, do you hear me?

A-rab, what are we gonna do?

Meet the other guys and form up.

Now, come on. Let's go.

Hey. Have you got a handkerchief first?

What's wrong with your sleeve?

- Where have you been?

- Where do you think? The Stork Club?

We thought they'd nabbed you.

- You didn't see Tony?

- No, nothing but coppers.

- What's wrong with him?

- Nothing, he's OK. Get it?

All right, all right.

- Maybe we ought to go home.

- For what?

- Bet you they got him.

- Not Tony.

He was great. Huh, Baby John?

Oh, yeah!

He really come through for the Jets.

Just like Riff said he...

Said he would.

Riff, I want Riff!

Come on, Graziella.

Gee. Nobody was supposed to get killed.

It just...

- They're gonna pay.

- Them stinkin' Sharks.

- Dirty fighting.

- They started it.

Let's finish it

and show 'em who's on top.

- The Jets!

- Let's do it now.

Ain't we had enough?

- Are you scared?

- Who are you calling scared?

- Lay off of him.

- Mind your own business.

Don't sound off on me! I'll hit you!

Knock it off!

Shut up, you bunch of good-for-nothings!

Go home where you belong!

Who are you calling good-for-nothing?

Come down, I'll put this

through your stupid face!

Get inside, all of you!

- Shut up!

- I don't have to take that from nobody!

The next creep who gets on my craw...

You'll laugh!

Yeah.

Now, you all better dig this,

and dig it good.

No matter who or what is eating you,

man, you show it, and you are dead!

You are cutting a hole in yourselves

for them to stick in a hot umbrella

and open it wide.

Man, you wanna get past the cops

when they start asking about tonight?

You play it cool.

You wanna live in this lousy world?

Play it cool.

- I wanna get even!

- Get cool!

- I wanna bust!

- Bust cool!

- I wanna go!

- Go cool!

Boy, boy

Crazy boy

Get cool, boy

Got a rocket in your pocket

Keep cooly-cool, boy

Don't get hot

Cos, man, you've got

some high times ahead

Take it slow

And Daddy-O

You can live it up and die in bed

Boy, boy

Crazy boy

Stay loose, boy

Breeze it, buzz it

Easy does it

Turn off the juice, boy

Go, man, go

But not like a yo-yo schoolboy

Just play it cool, boy

Real cool

Easy, Action.

Sssh

Cool it, A-rab. Cool it, cool it.

Pow!

Cool!

Cool!

- Go!

- Crazy!

- Cool!

- Go!

- Crazy!

- Go!

Yeah!

Boy, boy

Crazy boy

Stay loose, boy

Breeze it, buzz it

Easy does it

Turn off the juice, boy

Just play it cool, boy

Real cool

OK.

Let's go.

Pow!

Pow!

Pow!

Pow!

Hey, where are we going?

If we lay low,

the coppers are gonna smell fish...

- Hey, buddy boys!

- Aw, go wear a skirt.

I got scabby knees. Listen.

We act like we've got nothing to hide.

Suppose they ask us about the rumble?

Suppose they ask you

who's looking for Tony

with a gun?

You know something?

- I know I gotta go get a skirt.

- Come on, Anybodys.

- What's the freak know?

- Plenty.

I figured somebody should

infiltrate PR territory and spy.

I'm very large with shadows.

I slip in and out of 'em

like wind through a fence.

Is she making the most of it?!

- You bet your fat A I am.

- Spill it!

OK!

I hear Chino tell the Sharks something

about Tony and Bernardo's sister.

Then Chino says,

"It it's the last thing I do,

I'm gonna get that Polack."

Then he pulls out the bad news.

- Them PRs won't stop.

- Till we stop 'em.

Hold it!

Now, listen.

Tony come through for us.

We gotta do the same.

- We gotta find him before Chino does.

- And burns him.

You cover the river.

Snowboy, go to Doc's.

- I'll take the alleys.

- We'll take the streets.

- The park.

- The schoolyard.

- Let's go!

- Hey, what about me?

- You?

- Uh-huh.

Take the shadows.

Maybe you'll find Tony there.

Right!

Hey!

You done good, buddy boy.

Thanks... Daddy-O.

Who is...

Maria!

Maria!

Maria, it's Anita.

Are you in there?

- Maria?

- Yes!

Open the door. I need you.
