West Side Story 1961 quotes, page 4

Tony

Do you know what we're going to do in the country, Maria and me? We're gonna have lots of kids. And we're gonna name 'em all after ya.

Doc

Wake up! There is no Maria, Tony.

Maria

Today the minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly and still the sky is light.
Oh moon, grow bright and make this endless day endless night.

Lt. Schrank

I want this beat cleaned up and you can do it for me. I'll even lend a hand if things get rough. Now, where are ya gonna rumble?

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.

Riff

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.

Tony

I'll see my love tonight and for us stars will stop where they are.

Bernardo

When I get through with you, you will be like a fish after skinning.

Maria

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.

Dear Officer Krupke, what are we to do?
Gee, Officer Krupke, Krup you!

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 lazy, the trouble is he drinks.
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.

Lt. Schrank

Don't worry. I'll find out where it's gonna be. So be sure to finish each other off because if you don't, I will.

Anita

Puerto Rico, my heart's devotion,
Let it sink back in the ocean.
Always the hurricanes blowing,
Always the population growing
And the money owing,
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming.
I like the island of Manhattan,
Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

I like to be in America,
OK by me in America,
Everything free in America!

Bernardo

For a small fee in America.

Anita

Buying on credit is so nice.

Bernardo

One look at us and they charge twice.

It is bad.

Maria

Very bad?

You see,...

Maria

It will be easier if you say it very fast.

There was a fight. And Nardo... Somehow, a knife... And Nardo and someone, they...

Maria

Tony! What happened to Tony?

Maria

Chino, tell me! Is Tony all right?!

HE KILLED YOUR BROTHER!!

Maria

You are lying! [runs downstairs] Chino! Why do you lie to me?! Chino! Chino! Chino, it's true! You are lying! Why?! Why do you lie to me, Chino?! Chino!

Mama! Mama! Bernardo está muerto!

Bernardo, muerto?!

Maria

NO!!
