West Side Story Page #8

No...

Now you are afraid too?

What?

I'll be right there.

- Together.

- But where?

The bus station. We'll go so far away,

they'll never find us.

- How can we?

- Doc'll help us with the money.

- You meet me at his store.

- At Doc's? Yes.

I'll wait for you there.

- Maria!

- Yes!

Hurry.

Maria!

Coming, Anita.

Anita.

Oh...

All right. Now you know.

And you still don't know.

- He is one of them!

- No, Anita.

Yes!

A boy like that would kill your brother

Forget that boy and find another

One of your own kind

Stick to your own kind

A boy like that will give you sorrow

You'll meet another boy tomorrow

One of your own kind

Stick to your own kind

A boy who kills cannot love

A boy who kills has no heart

And he's the boy who gets your love

And gets your heart

Very smart, Maria, very smart

A boy like that wants one thing only

And when he's done,

he'll leave you Ionely

He'll murder your love

He murdered mine

Just wait and see

Just wait, Maria

Just wait and see

Oh, no, Anita, no

Anita, no

It isn't true, not for me

It's true for you, not for me

I hear your words

And in my head,

I know they're smart

But my heart, Anita

But my heart knows they're wrong

You should know better

You were in love

Or so you said

You should know better

I have a love

And it's all that I have

Right or wrong

What else can I do?

I love him

I'm his

And everything he is

I am too

I have a love

And it's all that I need

Right or wrong

And he needs me too

I love him

We're one

There's nothing to be done

Not a thing I can do

But hold him, hold him forever

Be with him now

Tomorrow

And all

Of my life

When love comes so strong

There is no right or wrong

Your love is

Your love

Chino has a gun.

I heard the boys talking.

He's hunting for Tony.

He's at Doc's store, waiting for me.

If Chino hurts him

or touches him, I swear I'II...

You'll do what Tony did to Bernardo?

I love Tony.

I know. I loved Bernardo.

- Anybody home?

- Yes.

Bernardo's sister, please.

She isn't feeling well.

Who is?

Hello, Miss.

I'm Lieutenant Schrank.

I don't like to disturb you

just now...

Yes. A very bad time.

If you will excuse me, please.

- I have a couple of questions.

- Afterwards, please.

I must go to my brother now.

- Just one minute.

- Can't you wait?

No!

Now, you were at the dance

at the gym last night...

Will this take very long?

As long as it has to.

Excuse me.

Anita, my headache is much worse.

Will you go to Doc's store for me?

Don't you people keep aspirin around?

This is something special.

Will you go for me, Anita?

What shall I ask for?

Doc will know.

Tell him I have been detained

and can't get there right away.

Or I would have picked it up myself.

Excuse me.

You were asking?

Yeah.

At the gym,

your brother got into an argument

because you danced

with the wrong boy.

Yes.

Who was the boy?

Another from my country.

And his name?

Jos.

- Can't find him.

- Down in the cellar.

- Tony?

- Safe and sound.

- I found him.

- Did you warn him about Chino?

- Why's he in the cellar?

- To keep the mice company.

No sign of Chino, huh?

- Nothing.

- His luck.

I'll slip out the back

and check the alleys again.

- You guys, hang here.

- OK.

Boy, I'm thirsty. Where's Doc?

Upstairs,

raising getaway money for Tony.

- Doc ain't got no money.

- His mattress has.

Cut the frabbajabba.

Grab some reading matter.

Some of you get outside.

If you see Chino, or those stinking PRs...

I'd like to see Doc.

He ain't here.

Where is he?

At the bank. They made

a mistake in his favour.

The banks are closed at night.

Where is he?

You know how skinny Doc is.

He slipped through

the night deposit slot.

And got stuck, halfway in.

So there's no telling when he'll be back.

Buenas noches, seorita.

Where are you going?

Downstairs.

Didn't I tell you? He ain't here.

I'd like to see for myself.

Please.

Please.

Por favor.

Will you let me pass?

She's too dark to pass.

- Oh, don't.

- Please don't.

Por favor!

- Gracias!

- De nada!

- Ay, ay! Hey, mambo!

- Listen, you!

Look, I gotta give

a friend of yours a message.

I gotta tell Tony...

- He ain't here.

- I know he is.

- Who's the message from?

- Never mind.

Could it be from Chino?

Don't you understand?

I want to help.

Bernardo's girl wants to help?

Even a greaseball's got feelings.

- She wants to help get Tony.

- No!

Not much! Bernardo's tramp.

- Bernardo's pig.

- You lying Spic!

- Don't do that!

- Gold-tooth!

- Pierced ear!

- Garlic mouth!

Cha! Cha-cha!

Cha-cha-cha!

Ol! Ol!

Stop it!

What are you doing there?

Bernardo was right.

If one of you

was lying in the street bleeding,

I'd walk by and spit on you.

Stop her!

She'll tell Chino Tony's in the cellar.

Don't you touch me.

I got a message

for your American buddy.

You tell that murderer

that Maria's never going to meet him.

You tell him

Chino found out about them,

and shot her!

She's dead!

When do you kids stop?

You make this world lousy.

We didn't make it, Doc.

Get out of here.

Maria?

Doc, I though I heard... You got it!

Yeah, I got it.

You're a pal.

You're the best friend a guy ever had.

I'll pay you back as soon as I can,

I promise.

- Forget that.

- Never! I couldn't.

You know what we're gonna do

in the country, Maria and me?

We're gonna have lots of kids.

We'll name 'em all after you.

So when you come to visit...

Wake up!

Is this the only way

to get through to you?

Do just what you all do?

Bust like a hot water pipe?

What's got into you?

Why do you kids live

like there's a war on?

Why do you kill?

I told you how it happened.

Maria understands.

I thought you did too.

Maria understands nothing

ever again.

There is no Maria, Tony.

What?

I can't.

No, no, Doc.

Now, tell me. What is it?

That was Anita upstairs.

Chino found out about you and Maria

and he killed her.

No...

Maria.

Maria died?

Chino!

Chino!

Come and get me too, Chino!

Chino!

Chino!

Chino!

Come and get me too, Chino!

- Tony!

- Who's that?

- Anybodys. Come on!

- Get out of here.

Chino!

- Come and get me, damn you!

- What are you doing?

Get out of here!

- Chino!

- Come with me...

It ain't playing any more.

Can't anyone get that?

- But the gang!

- You're a girl!

Be a girl and beat it!

Chino!

Come on, Chino!

Get me too!

Chino!

Chino!

Chino! I'm calling for you, Chino.

There's nobody here but me.

Come on!

Please, will you?

I'm waiting for you.

I want you to.

Maria!

Tony!

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!

I... didn't believe hard enough.

Loving is enough.

Not here.

They won't let us be.

Then, we'll get away.

- Yeah. We can.

- Yes.

- We will.

- Yes.

Hold my hand

and we're halfway there

Hold my hand

and I'll take you there

Somehow

Someday

Some...

Stay back!

How do you fire this gun, Chino?

Just by pulling this little trigger?

How many bullets are left, Chino?

Enough for you?

And you?

All of you!

You all killed him!
