West Side Story quotes

View Quote [singing] 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 life.

View Quote How many bullets are left, Chino? Enough for you, and you? All of you. You all killed him! And my brother, and Riff. Not with bullets and guns - with hate. Well, I can kill too because now I have hate! How many can I kill, Chino? How many and still have one bullet left for me?

View Quote Te adoro, Anton.

View Quote [singing] I just met a girl named Maria, and suddenly that name
Will never be the same to me.
Maria - I just kissed a girl named Maria
And suddenly I found how wonderful a sound can be
Maria - say it loud and there's music playing
Say it soft and it's almost like praying.

View Quote We need Tony. He's got a rep that's bigger than the whole West Side...He always came through for us and he always will.

View Quote [singing] When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way
From your first cigarette to your last dyin' day!
When you're a Jet, let 'em do what they can
You've got brothers around, you're a family man!
You're never alone, you're never disconnected, you're home with your own
When company's expected, you're well-protected!
Then you are set with a capital J
Which you'll never forget till they cart you away
When you're a Jet you stay a Jet.

View Quote [to Tony] When I get through with you, you will be like a fish after skinning.

View Quote [singing] Here come the Jets, like a bat out of hell
Someone gets in our way, someone don't feel so well
Here come the Jets, little world, step aside
Better go underground, better run, better hide.

View Quote [singing] We're no good, we're no good, we're no earthly good.
Like the best of us is no damn good.

The trouble is he's crazy, the trouble is he stinks.
The trouble is he's growing, the trouble is he's grown.
Krupke, we've got troubles of our own.

Gee, Officer Krupke, Krup you!

View Quote I get a promotion and you Puerto Ricans get what you've been itchin' for. Use of the playground, use of the gym, the streets, the candy store. So what if they do turn this whole town into a stinkin' pigsty. [Bernardo bursts up from his chair, and is restrained by Riff] Don't stop him. He wants to get home. Write a few letters to San Juan, tell them about how he's got it made over here. What I mean is, CLEAR OUT! I said CLEAR OUT. Oh yeah, sure, I know. It's a free country and I ain't got the right. But I got a badge. Whaddya you got? Things are tough all over. BEAT IT!
