West Side Story (1961) - full transcript

West Side Story is the award-winning adaptation of the classic romantic tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet". The feuding families become two warring New York City gangs- the white Jets led by Riff and the Puerto Rican Sharks, led by Bernardo. Their hatred escalates to a point where neither can coexist with any form of understanding. But when Riff's best friend (and former Jet) Tony and Bernardo's younger sister Maria meet at a dance, no one can do anything to stop their love. Maria and Tony begin meeting in secret, planning to run away. Then the Sharks and Jets plan a rumble under the highway - whoever wins gains control of the streets. Maria sends Tony to stop it, hoping it can end the violence. It goes terribly wrong, and before the lovers know what's happened, tragedy strikes and doesn't stop until the climactic and heartbreaking ending.

Watch this shot now! Shoot, man! Go!

Yeah!

- Chickie! Chick, chick, chick!
- Boy! Jet boy!

Jet boy!

Jet, Jet, Jets!

- Come back!
- Come over here!

Chickens!

Beat it!

Yeah!

All right, go, Jets!

Snowboy!



Come on!

Beat it!

Chico! Andale, chico!

Okay, here we go!

Over here, A-Rab!

Jets! Jets!

Bernardo! Indio! Chaco, come on!

Jets, come on! Follow me, baby.

- Mira, mira, mira!
- Jets!

Andale, Chico!

Come on, Jets!

Hey, Jets!

Hello!

Jets, come on! Julio!



Come on!

Jets!

Come on, boys!

Come on, now!

Jets!

Break it up, you punks! Cut it out!
Come on, guys! Break it up, I said!

Come on, break it up! Come on!

How many times have I told you
punks to cut this stuff out?

- Why, if it ain't Lt. Schrank!
- Top of the day, Lt. Schrank.

- And Officer Krupke.
- Top of the day, Officer Krupke.

- I'll give you the top of the head.
- Hey you, get down!

- But we're having such fun.
- We enjoy the playground.

See, it keeps us deprived children
off of the foul city streets.

Shut up!

And born like we was
on the hot pavement.

- You wanna get your skull broke?
- Hey, Baby John, come here!

Come here!

All right!

Now, which one of these
Puerto Ricans bloodied you?

- Sir...
- Which one?

Excuse me, sir.

As a matter of fact...

we suspicion that the
job was done by a cop.

- Two cops.
- At the very least.

Impossible.

In America, nothing is impossible.

All right, wise guys...

now, you listen to me!

All of you!

You hoodlums don't own these streets.

And I've had all the roughhouse I'm
gonna put up with around here!

You wanna kill each other, kill each other!
But you ain't gonna do it on my beat!

- Are there any questions?
- Yes, sir.

Would you mind translating
that into Spanish?

Get your friends out of here, Bernardo.

And stay out!

Please.

Okay, Sharks.

Vámonos.

Boy, oh boy!

As if this neighborhood
wasn't crummy enough!

Now, look, fellas. Fellas!

Look, let's be reasonable...

if I don't get a little law
and order around here...

I get busted down to
a traffic corner...

and your friend don't
like traffic corners.

So, that means you're gonna
start makin' nice...

with the PR's from now on.

I said nice! Get it?

'Cause if you don't...

and I catch any of you doin' any
more brawlin' in my territory...

I'm gonna personally beat the livin'
crud out of each and every one of you...

and see that you go to
the can and rot there!

- Say good-bye to the nice boys, Krupke.
- Good-bye, boys.

"Good-bye, boys."

Jail? Gee.

"You hoodlums don't own the streets."

Go play in the park.
Keep off of the grass.

- Get out of the house!
- Keep off the block.

- Get outta here.
- Keep off the world!

A gang that don't own
the street is nothin'!

We do own it!

Come on, Jets, round out!

- Not you, Anybodys! Beat it!
- Riff, you gotta let me in the gang!

Didn't you just see me? I was smash!
I'm a killer, I wanna fight.

How else she gonna get
a guy to touch her?

- You dirty rat!
- Come on, the road, little girl! The road!

Beat it!

- Beat it!
- Okay, come on.

Okay, now listen!

Now, we fought hard for this turf,
and we ain't just gonna give it up.

The Emeralds claimed
it, we shot 'em out.

The Hawks, remember? They tried to take
it away, we knocked them down the cellar.

- But these PR's are different.
- They multiply. Like cockroaches.

- Shut the door!
- They're eatin' all the food.

- Breathin' all the air.
- Help! I'm drowning in tamale.

And you heard what that Lt. Schrank said...

we gotta make nice with
them Puerto Ricans or else.

We gotta let 'em move in
right under our noses...

- and take it all away from us or else.
- No!

You're damn right, no!

So what're we gonna do, buddy boys?
I'll tell you what we're gonna do.

We're gonna speed back!

We're gonna move like lightnin', and
we're gonna clean them Sharks up...

once and for all.

So they ain't never gonna
set foot on our turf again!

We're gonna do it in one all-out fight.

- A rumble! Chop, chop!
- Now cool, Action Boy.

The Sharks want a piece of this world, too.
And they're real down boys.

They might ask for blades...

- zip guns.
- Zip guns?

I ain't finalizin' and
sayin' they will, Baby John.

I'm just sayin' that they might,
and we gotta be prepared.

Now, what's your mood, Jets?

- I say go, go!
- I say mix!

- I say sock 'em!
- Tear them!

- Yeah, but if they say blades or guns...
- I say let's just forget the whole thing.

- What?
- What do you say, Riff?

I say this turf is small,
but it's all we got.

I wanna hold it like we
always held it, with skin!

But if they say blades, I say blades.

If they say guns, I say guns.

I say I want the Jets
to be the number one!

- To sail! To hold the sky!
- Then rev us off! Voom va-voom!

Okay, cats, we rumble!

Now...

protocality calls for a war council...

between us and the Sharks
to set the whole thing up.

So I will personally give
the bad news to Bernardo.

- You gotta take a lieutenant with you.
- That's me.

- That's Tony.
- Who needs Tony?

We need Tony!

He's got a rep that's bigger
than the whole West Side!

- He don't belong no more.
- Now, cut it, Action!

- Me and Tony started the Jets.
- So where is he?

- How come he takes a lousy, stinkin' job?
- Youth Board corrupted him.

- Yeah, temporary sickness!
- Wait and see.

Remember them fists the day
we clobbered the Emeralds?

- He saved my ever-loving neck!
- Sure! He'll do it again, too!

He always came through for
us and he always will.

- Tony, you're not even listenin'.
- I read you loud and clear, Riff.

- Then why don't you say somethin'?
- I don't wanna hurt your feelings.

- You're my buddy, my pal, my best friend!
- Womb to tomb?

Birth to earth.

That's why you gotta come to the
dance tonight and stand up with me.

Come on, Tony. Just say yes.

Riff, did you ever stop to figure...

how many bubbles there are in one
bottle of this here soda pop?

Tony, this is important!

Everything's important, Riff...

you, me, the sweet guy I work for.

The Sharks walk bad. They bite hard.

- And if we don't stop them now...
- Here! Work for a living.

How do you like that? Four and a half
years I live with a buddy and his family.

I think I'm diggin' a guy's character.

Boy, am I a victim of
disappointment in you!

End your sufferin', little man.

Why don't you just pack up
your gear and move out?

'Cause your ma's hot for me.

No! It's 'cause I hate livin'
with my buggin' uncle!

- Come on!
- Come on, uncle!

Now...

go play games with the Jets.

And why not? They're the greatest.

Ain't they?

Were.

You found somethin' better?

No. Not yet, but...

But What?

You won't dig it, Riff.

So try me.

Come on, Tony, try me.

Okay.

Every single night for the
last month, I wake up...

and I'm reaching out.

- For what?
- I don't know.

A dame?

It's right outside the door,
just around the corner...

but it's comin'.

What is?

I don't know. It...

it's like the kick I used
to get from bein' a Jet.

Now you're talkin'!

Man, without a gang, you're an orphan.

With a gang, you walk in
twos, threes, fours...

and your crew is the best...

when you're a Jet, you're out
in the sun, buddy boy...

you're home free home!

Riff, I've had it!

Tony...

Tony, look at me, will ya?

- Come on, look at me.
- I'm lookin' at you.

Now, I never asked the time
of day from a clock, did I?

I never asked nothin' from
nobody, but I'm askin' you...

come to the dance tonight.

I promised Doc I'd clean
up the store tonight.

Then do it after the dance.

Tony, I already told the
guys you'd be there.

If you don't show,
I'll be marked lousy.

What time'd you tell 'em?

10:00.

For me, Tony, for Riff!

- 10:00 it is.
- Womb to tomb?

Birth to earth, and I'll
live to regret this.

Who knows? Maybe what you're waitin'
for'll be twitchin' at the dance tonight.

Yeah. Who knows?

Por favor, Anita, you are my friend.

- Stop it, Maria.
- You must make the neck lower.

And you must stop heckling me.

We are working on our time
now, not the old lady's.

- One inch. How much can one little inch do?
- Too much.

Anita, it is now to be a dress for
dancing, no longer for praying!

Listen, with those boys, you can
start in dancing and end up praying.

Querida, one little inch.

- Bernardo made me promise!
- Bernardo!

One month have I been in this country.
Do I ever even touch excitement?

I sew in this place all day.
I sit at home all night.

For what did my fine
brother bring me here?

- To marry Chino.
- Chino.

- When I look at Chino, nothing happens.
- What do you expect to happen?

I don't know. Something.

What happens when you look at Bernardo?

It's when I don't look that it happens.

I think I will tell Mama and Papa
about you and Nardo in the balcony...

of the movies!

- I will rip this to shreds!
- No!

But if you perhaps could
manage to lower the neck...

Next year.

I hate that dress!

Then don't wear it, and don't come
to the dance with us tonight.

Don't come?

- Could we not dye it red at least?
- No, we could not.

White is for babies.

I will be the only one
there in a white...

Sí.

It is a beautiful dress.

I love you!

- Are you ready, ladies?
- Nardo, come in.

Is it not beautiful?

Yes.

- Very.
- I didn't quite hear.

Very beautiful.

Come in, Chino. Do not be afraid.

- But this is a shop for ladies.
- We won't bite you till we know you better.

Chino, you will keep both eyes on Maria
tonight in case I cannot. You too, Anita.

- My brother is a silly watchdog.
- My sister is a precious jewel.

What am I? Cut glass?

Nardo, it is most important that I have a
wonderful time at the dancing tonight.

It is?

Because tonight is the real
beginning of my life...

as a young lady of America.

Let's go!

Get outta here!

Nardo. Cómo está?

Chino. Chino!

Pepe! Pepe! Come on, guys!

Maria.

Look what I got.

Maria, these are some of
my friends you've not met.

Pick up.

This is Loco.

- Mucho gusto.
- Encantada.

- Teresita. My sister Maria.
- Good evening.

- And this is Luis and Rosa.
- Encantada. Rosalie, ai.

Oye, Nardo.

All right, boys and girls. All right.

Attention, please!

Attention!

Come here.

Thank you.

My, this is a fine turnout
we have here tonight.

It's all for you, glad hand.

I know all of you boys and girls...

are here because you want
to make new friends...

and get closer to old ones.

Yeah!

So, tonight, kids, we're
gonna do something special.

We're gonna have a get-together dance!

Ginger! Peachy!

All right, all right,
now, kids, kids...

I want you to form two circles.

- How many?
- Two.

Boys on the outside, and
girls on the inside.

Where are you?

All right.

Now...

when the music stops...

each boy dances with whichever
girl is opposite, okay?

Okay!

Two circles, kids!

Well, it won't hurt you to try.

It hurts. It hurts! It hurts.

Snowboy.

I'm with it.

That's it, kids! Keep the ball rolling.

Round she goes, and where
she stops, nobody knows.

All right, here we go.

Boys to my right, and girls to my left.

- Mambo!
- Mambo!

Go!

Tony!

Mambo!

Mambo!

You're not thinking I'm someone else?

I know you are not.

Or that we've met before?

I know we have not.

I felt...

I knew something never before was
gonna happen, had to happen...

but this is so much more.

My hands are cold.

Yours, too.

So warm.

So beautiful.

Beautiful.

It's so much to believe.

You're not making a joke?

I have not yet learned
how to joke that way.

I think now I never will.

- Get your hands off, American!
- Nardo!

- Stay away from my sister.
- Sister?

- Couldn't you see he's one of them?
- I saw only him.

They want one thing from
a Puerto Rican girl.

- That's a lie!
- Later, Tony!

- Get away!
- Don't listen.

She'll listen to me before
she listens to you.

If you two want to settle this...

Please, boys!
Everything was going so well.

Now, come on! We're all here to
have a good time, aren't we?

Nardo...

Take her out of here. We're going home.

- Nardo, it is my first dance.
- Please. We are family. Now go.

Come, Maria.

Maria.

- I don't want you.
- I want you, though.

I want you for a war council.
Jets and Sharks.

- The pleasure is mine.
- Let's go outside.

I would not leave the ladies here
alone with your kind around.

We will meet you at midnight.

Doc's candy store?

And no jazz before then.

I understand the rules...

native boy.

Ice.

- Doc's at midnight. Spread the word.
- Right, daddy-o.

Maria.

Now, I do not say these things
to spoil your evening...

or to hear myself talk.

- I am here longer than you, Maria.
- Sí, Nardo.

Someday, when you're an old
married woman with five kids...

you can tell me what to do.
But right now it is the other way around.

Now go to bed.

He's the old married woman.

You know, she has a mother.
Also a father.

They do not know this country
any better than she does.

And you do not know it at all.
Girls here are free to have fun.

- She is in America now.
- Puerto Rico is in America now.

Sometimes I don't know which is
thicker, your skull or your accent.

Vámonos, muchachos!

Let them wait. Is Maria all right?

- I should be so all right.
- It will not happen again.

Pepe, Indio, after tonight,
things will be settled.

- First settle your stomach.
- Never mind my stomach.

- I mind your nose and your head broken.
- Broken?

Sure! They use Maria for an
excuse to start World War III.

- It is more than that.
- More than what? She was only dancing.

- With an American who's really a Polack.
- Says the Spic.

You are not so cute.

- That Tony is.
- And he works.

- A delivery boy.
- And what are you?

An assistant.

Sí, and Chino makes half
of what the Polack makes.

Here comes the whole commercial!

Your mother's a Pole,
your father's a Swede...

But you were born here,
that's all that you need.

You are an American.
But us? Foreigners!

Lice! Cockroaches!

But it's true!

When I think of how I thought
it would be for us here...

- we came like children believing...
- Trusting with our hearts open!

- With our arms open.
- You came with your mouth open.

You're the Spic, and you
go back in handcuffs.

I'm going back in a Cadillac.

- Air-conditioned!
- Built-in bar!

- Telephone!
- And television!

Compatible color.

If you had all that here, why would
you wanna go back to Puerto Rico?

Or even if you didn't have all that here,
why would you wanna go back to Puerto Rico?

- It's so good here?
- It's so good there?

We had nothing!

We still have nothing,
only more expensive.

- Anita Josefina.
- No. it's plain Anita now.

- Margarita, et cetera.
- You leave me alone. At least I let...

Once an immigrant, always an immigrant!

Look! Instead of a shampoo,
she's been brainwashed!

Stop it!

She has given up Puerto Rico, and
now she's queer for Uncle Sam.

No.

That's not true.

The council...

No. I'm an American girl now.

Where the devil are them Sharks?

- Maybe they're too chicken to show.
- We got time, A-Rab.

- Riff and Ice ain't even here yet.
- Come on, come on!

- He don't use a switchblade.
- What?

- He don't even use an atomic ray gun.
- Who don't?

- Captain Marvel. Gee, I love him.
- So marry him!

I ain't never gonna get married.
Too noisy.

You ain't never gonna get married.

- Too ugly.
- Pow! Pow!

Wacko jacko!
Down goes a teenage hoodlum.

Gee, could a real zip gun
make you do like that?

No, the zip gun could make you do.
You better wear diapers!

Go walk the streets like your sister.

Listen, jailbait, I licked you
twice, and I can do it again!

Come on, Anybodys, knock it off.

- Riff's here.
- Okay, cats, all present and accounted for?

I'm really proud of you.
You did good at the dance.

- So where are they?
- Unwind, Action. Any sign of Tony?

Invisible, man.

What do you think the
Sharks are gonna ask for?

- Mercy.
- Just rubber hoses maybe.

Relax, little man.

- You tell him, daddy-o.
- I'm ready.

Easy. Cool.

Cracko jacko!

Riff, look, in a tight spot, you're
gonna need every man you can get.

- No.
- An American tragedy.

- Pow!
- Poo.

Look, when the Sharks
come, you chicks cut out.

We might, and then again, we might not.

This ain't kid stuff, Graziella.

I and Velma ain't kid stuff neither.

- Are we, Vel?
- No, thank you.

And you can punctuate it.

What are we poopin'
around with dumb broads?

I and Velma ain't dumb!

The bulls!

- You.
- You!

- Who?
- Who?

Who me?

Top of the evening, Officer Krupke.

- You.
- Who, me, sir?

Yeah, you. Didn't you hear me?

Yes, sir. I got 20-20 hearing.

Then why didn't you answer me?

His mother told him never
answer back to a cop.

You little wise apple!
You want me to run you in?

Indeed not, sir.

I oughta run all youse punks in.

What are ya standin' around here
for, blockin' the sidewalks?

You see, sir, we're afraid to go home.
It's such a bad environment.

- We don't get no love there.
- It's awful.

If you don't leave us on
the streets all night...

we liable to turn into a bunch
of juvenile delinquents.

Listen, I know youse guys was
cookin' up somethin' at the dance.

So don't think you'll
put nothin' over on me.

- Sergeant, come on, quick! We got a 10-13.
- Now, go on. Get a move on, all of youse.

And don't let me catch none
of youse around here later.

I'll see you around.

You forgot to say good-bye.

Them headbusters ain't got no manners.

"And don't let me catch
none of youse here later!"

- They treat us like we ain't even human.
- He was pretty mad.

So, what happened?
A big fat nothin', right?

Yeah, but suppose he comes back...

while we are havin' the war council?

We'll snow him some more.
See, them cops...

they believe everything they
read in the papers about us JD's.

So that's what we give 'em,
somethin' to believe in.

You!

- Who, me, Officer Krupke?
- Yeah, you! Give me one good reason...

for not draggin' you down to
the station house, you punk!

Curfew, gentlemen and ladies.

- Aren't you up a little late, Baby John?
- I got insomnia, Doc. Too many worries.

- Any of you seen Tony tonight?
- You betcha we did.

He was supposed to clean up the store.

Maybe he decided to clean
up the PR's instead.

Tony?

- Doc, you ain't gonna close up now.
- I'm not?

- Listen, we got a war council here.
- A who?

To determine weapons.
We gotta set up a mix with the PR's.

Weapons. You couldn't play basketball?

- Get with it, buster.
- You don't understand.

We got special business
comin' here tonight.

- Makin' trouble for the Puerto Ricans?
- They make trouble for us.

For you, trouble is a relief.

We gotta stand up to 'em, Doc.
It's important.

Fightin' over a little piece
of street is so important?

- To us, it is!
- To hoodlums, it is.

Who you calling hoodlum?

- War council...
- Don't start that.

- Rumbles. Why, when I was your age...
- When you was my age!

When my old man was my age,
my brother was my age...

You was never my age, none of ya.

And the sooner you creeps get hip
to that, the sooner you'll dig us!

I'll dig you an early grave,
that's what I'll dig.

Dig, dig, dig!

- Okay, Doc, set 'em up. Cokes all around.
- Let's get down to business.

So, Bernardo hasn't learned the
procedures of gracious living.

I don't like you, either, so cut it.

Okay, kick it, Dos.

- Boys, couldn't you maybe talk...
- Kick it!

We challenge you to a rumble.
All out, once and for all. Accept?

On what terms?

Whatever terms you're callin'.
You crossed the line once too often.

- You started it.
- Who jumped Baby John this afternoon?

Who jumped me the first
clay I moved here?

- Who asked you to move here?
- Who asked you?

- Back where you came from.
- Spies.

- Mick!
- Wop!

We accept.

- Time?
- Tomorrow?

After dark.

- Place?
- The park?

The river.

Under the highway.

- Weapons?
- Doc! Doc!

- Tony!
- Weapons!

Weapons.

- You call.
- Your challenge.

Afraid to call?

Rocks.

Belts.

- Pipes.
- Cans.

- Bricks.
- Bats.

- Clubs.
- Chains.

Bottles, knives, guns!

- What a coop full of chickens.
- Who are you callin' chicken?

- Every dog knows his own.
- I'm calling you all chicken!

Big, tough buddy boys gotta throw bricks.
Afraid to get in close?

Afraid to slug it out?
Afraid to use plain skin?

- Not even garbage?
- That ain't a rumble.

- Who says?
- You said call weapons.

A rumble can be clinched by a fair fight,
if you've got the guts to risk that.

Best man from each gang to slug it out.

I would enjoy to risk that.

Okay. Fair fight.

Wait a minute!
The commanders say yes or no.

Fair fight.

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

Your best man fights our best man.

And we pick him.

- But I thought I would be fighting with...
- You shook on it.

Yes. I shook on it.

Look, Bernardo, if you
wanna change your mind...

Bernardo, baby, would
you like a cigarette?

No, thank you. I don't smoke.

Evening, Lieutenant.

I and Tony was just closing up.

Now, this is more like it, fellas.

Warms me all over to see you this way.

And after only a couple of words from
me at the playground. How about that?

Do you mind?

I have no mind. I'm the village idiot.

You know, headquarters hears about
this, I may even get a promotion.

Good deal all around, Bernardo?

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?

Don't stop him! He wants to get
home, write letters to San Juan...

tell 'em how he's got
it made over here!

What I mean is, clear out, you!
I said, clear out!

Yeah, sure, I know.

It's a free country, and I ain't got the right.
But I got a badge.

What do you got?

Things are tough all over. Beat it!

Okay, fellas...

where's the rumble gonna be?

Come on!

Regular Americans don't rub
with the gold teeth unless...

- Lieutenant...
- You shut your mouth!

Come on, Baby John.

Before that smooth little kisser
of yours gets out up for life.

Now, where's it gonna be?

The river?

The park?

Look, fellas, I'm for you.

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 you gonna rumble?

The playground?

Sweeney's lot?

Why don't you get smart,
you stupid hooligans?

I ought to take you to the station
and throw you in the can now!

You and the tinhorn immigrant
scum you come from!

How's your old man's DT's, A-Rab?

How's the action on your mother's
side of the street, Action?

One of these days, there won't
be anybody to hold you.

Get him out of here!
Come on! Beat it! Go!

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!

Yeah, sure.

Understand them.

That's what they keep telling me
down at headquarters. "Understand."

You try keeping hoodlums in line,
and see what it does to you.

It wouldn't give me a mouth like his.

Come on, Doc.

- Don't let it get you.
- I'm sick.

- You heard. It's gonna be a fair fight.
- And that's gonna cure somethin'?

From here on in, everything's
gonna be all right.

- Got a feelin'.
- What have you been takin' tonight?

A trip to the moon!
And I'll tell you a secret, Doc.

It ain't a man that's up there.
it's a girl.

A lady.

- Buenas noches, señor
- Buenas noches?

So that's why you made it a fair fight.

I'm gonna see her tomorrow,
and I can't wait.

Tony! Things aren't tough enough?

- Tough? Doc, I'm in love!
- And you're not frightened?

Should I be?

No.

No, I'm frightened enough
for the both of you.

What has Chino done to her?

Chino? Why Chino?

- Maybe she's just dolling up for us.
- Gracias, querida.

Rosalie, Consuelo, my adorable
friends, can you keep a secret?

I'm hot for secrets.

No. I won't tell you.

- What?
- "What?"

The poor girl is out of her mind.

I am! Crazy.

She might be at that.
She looks somehow different.

- I do?
- And I think she is up to something.

I am?

"I do? I am?" She talks like a parrot.

What is going on with you, Maria?

You want to sing, do
it with the needle,

or you'll be out in the streets
singing for your supper!

But Madam Lucia, what can you expect?
We use Singer sewing machines.

Sure.

You make the bad joke home
where I can't hear it.

- Go now. Go home. it's closing time. Shoo!
- Buenas noches, Madam Lucia.

- You put down the shades?
- Yes.

Turn off the lights,
and lock the doors.

- Buenas noches, Anita.
- Buenas noches.

- Adiós
- The jail is open.

I thought she'd never leave.

You know, it's hard to believe
that old bag of a witch

was once a young bag like us.

Come on, let's go before she
changes her mind and comes back.

You go, querida. I will lock up.

- Why?
- I have work.

Do it tomorrow.

- I'm in no hurry.
- I am!

I'm going home now and take
a nice, long bubble bath.

- Black orchid.
- Black orchid?

All over.

I gotta date with Nardo
after the rumble.

What rumble?

Oh...well, uh...

Nardo's Sharks and those
boys at the dance.

They fight each other tonight?

They don't play patsy.

Why must they always fight?

You saw how they dance, like they
gotta get rid of something quick.

That's how they fight.

To get rid of what?

Too much feeling.
And they do get rid of it.

Boy, after a fight, that brother
of yours is so healthy.

Definitely black orchid.

Buenas noches.

"You go, querida. I will lock up."

It's too early for noches.

Buenas tardes.

Gracias...

buenas tardes.

He just came from the
drugstore to deliver aspirin.

You'll need it.

Not us. We're fine.

- We're out of the world.
- You're out of your heads.

- We're 12 feet in the air.
- Anita can see that.

You will not tell?

Tell what?

How can I know what goes
on 12 feet over my head?

You better be home in 15 minutes.

It's all right. She likes us.

- But she is worried, and so am I.
- That's foolish.

Are you going to that rumble tonight?

- No.
- Yes!

- Why?
- You must go and stop it.

I have stopped it. It'll only be a
fistfight between two of 'em. Nardo...

Any fight is no good for us.

- Everything is good for us. We got magic.
- Listen and hear me.

You must go and stop it.

It means that much to you?

Yes.

All right, I will, then.

I believe you.

- You do have magic.
- Of course.

I've got you.

And tonight, after I stop the
rumble that isn't a rumble...

I'll come by for you.

- I will wait for you on the roof.
- No.

Not the roof.

I'll come to your house.

You cannot. My mama.

- Then I'll take you to my house.
- Your mama?

She'll come runnin' from the
kitchen to welcome you.

- She lives in the kitchen.
- Dressed so elegant?

I told her you were coming.
She'll look at your face. Try not to smile.

She'll say, "Skinny, but pretty."

She is plump, no doubt?

Fat.

I take after my mama. Delicate-boned.

Not in front of Mama!

I would like to see Papa in this.

Mama will make him ask
about your prospects.

Many.

- If you go to church.
- Always.

Yes, Papa might like you.

- May I have your daughter's hand?
- He says, "Yes."

Gracias.

- And your mama?
- I'm afraid to ask her.

Tell her she's not getting a daughter.
She's getting rid of a son.

She says, "Yes!"

She has good taste.

Here. Maid of honor.

- That color is bad for Anita.
- The best man!

That is my papa!

Sorry, Papa.

Here we go, Riff. Womb to tomb.

Now, you see, Anita?
There was nothing to worry about.

Look! Mama's crying already.

I, Anton...

take thee, Maria...

I, Maria, take thee, Anton...

For richer, for poorer...

In sickness and in health...

To love and to honor...

To hold and to keep...

From each sun to each moon...

From tomorrow to tomorrow...

From now to forever...

Till death do us part.

With this ring, I thee wed.

With this ring...

I thee wed.

Ready.

- Now, move in and shake hands.
- For what?

That's the way it's done, buddy boy.

More gracious living?

Look, every one of you hates every
one of us, and we hate you back.

Let's get at it.

- Sure.
- Here we go.

- Let's get in there...
- Come on, Ice.

Come on, Ice, come on!

Keep your eyes open!

Hold it!

Tony! Get with the gang. It's all okay.

No!

Tony, what are you doing?

Maybe he has found the guts
to fight his own battles.

It don't take guts if you got a battle.
We ain't got one. None of us.

- Okay, Nardo?
- Tony!

Hold it! Now, let's just cool it.

The deal is, a fair fight
between you and Ice.

- Come on, get with the gang.
- Mother hen protecting the little one?

- I'll give you a battle.
- You've got one!

I'll take pretty boy as a warm-up.

Afraid, pretty boy? Afraid, gutless?

- Afraid, chicken?
- Cut it!

No!

- I don't wanna, Bernardo.
- I'm sure.

- Now, listen to me.
- Are you chicken?

- There's no need to fight.
- The hell there ain't!

- You've got it wrong!
- Chicken!

- Why can't you understand?
- Understand, chicken!

- Get out of here!
- Kill him, Tony!

Come on!

- Afraid to fight?
- Come on.

- Let me see you fight.
- Chicken boy!

He is chicken!

Pretty boy. Listen to him!

Don't! Stop it!
We got nothin' to fight about.

- Bernardo!
- Yellow-bellied chicken!

- Don't push me!
- Come on, you yellow-bellied Polack!

- Riff! What are you doin'?
- Get outta here, Tony!

- Riff, don't!
- Hold him!

Let me go!

Riff, don't!

Keep outta this!

Somebody stop him!

Let me go!

Ice!

Tiger!

Riff!

- Come on, Nardo!
- Stop him!

Riff, don't!

Get them!

Maria!

Tony, come on! Come on, Tony!

We gotta get out of here! Come on!

Come on, Tony! Come on!

Get outta here!

Come on!

Come on, Tony!

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 by.

- I would have waited down...
- Maria.

- You have been fighting, Chino?
- Yes.

- I am sorry.
- That is not like you.

- No.
- You must go home and wash up.

- I will see you tomorrow.
- Maria, at the rumble...

- There was no rumble.
- There was.

- No. You are wrong.
- There was.

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, they...
- 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, true, you are lying! Why?

Why do you lie to me, Chino?

Mama! Mama!

- Bernardo está muerto!
- Bernardo, muerto?

No!

Santa María, 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.

Make it not be...

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 wanna.

But Riff's 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!
- Forever!

Tighten

it'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.

Baby John, what are you doin' here?

Nothin'.

What are you doin' nothin' here for?
Come on.

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

Why not?

I'm cryin'.

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.

Yeah.

- I wish it was yesterday.
- Me, too. I'm scared.

- Cut it out. You hear me? Cut it out!
- A-Rab, what are we gonna do?

We'll meet the other guys and form up.
That's what we'll do.

Now, come on. Let's go.

You got a handkerchief first?

What's wrong with your sleeve?

- Where you been?
- Where do you think, the Stork Club?

- We thought they nabbed you.
- Go on.

- You didn't see Tony?
- Nothin' but coppers.

What's wrong with him?

There's nothin' wrong.
He's okay, you get it?

All right, all right!

- Maybe we oughta go home.
- For what?

- Betcha they got him.
- Not Tony.

- Man, he was great, right, Baby John?
- Yeah.

- He really come through for the Jets.
- Just like Riff said he...

Said he would.

I want Riff!

Come on, Graziella.

Nobody was supposed to get killed.

It just...

They're gonna pay!

- Them stinkin' Sharks.
- Dirty fighting.

They started it!

So why don't we finish it?
We gotta show 'em who's on top.

- The Jets! Let's do it now!
- Ain't we had enough?

- What's the matter, you scared?
- Who you callin' scared?

- Lay off of him.
- Mind your own business.

Don't sound off on me. I'll...

- You'll do what?
- Knock it off!

Shut up down there, you dirty
bunch of good-for-nothings!

Go home where you belong!

Who you callin' good-for-nothin',
you loudmouth crud head?

Come down, I'll put
this through your face!

- Get inside! All of you!
- Come on!

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

Next creep who sounds on me,
I swear the next guy...

You'll laugh!

Yeah.

Now, you all better dig
this and dig it good!

No matter who or what is eatin' you...

man, you show it, and you are dead!

You are cuttin' a hole in yourselves for
them to stick in a red-hot umbrella...

and open it wide!

Man, you wanna get past the cops when
they start askin' 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!

Okay.

Let's go.

Where we goin'?

If we lay low, the coppers
are gonna smell fish.

- So the first thing we do...
- Buddy boy!

- Go wear a skirt.
- I got scabby knees. Listen...

First, start showing around
like we got nothin' to hide.

Suppose they ask us about the rumble.

Supposin' they ask you where's Tony and
what party's lookin' for him with a gun!

You know somethin'?

- I know I gotta go get a skirt.
- Come on, Anybodys!

- What's the freak know?
- Plenty!

I figured somebody oughta
infiltrate PR territory...

and spy around.

I'm very large with shadows, you know.

I can slip in and out of 'em
like wind through a fence.

- Boy, is she ever makin' the most of it.
- You bet your fat "A," I am!

- Spill it!
- Okay.

I hear Chino tellin' the Sharks somethin'
about Tony and Bernardo's sister.

And then I hear Chino say,

"If it's the last thing I do,
I'm gonna get that Polack."

And then he pulls out the bad news!

- Them PR's won't stop.
- Till we stop 'em.

Hold it!

Now, listen...

Tony come through for us.
We gotta come through for Tony.

- We gotta find him before Chino finds him.
- And burns him.

You cover the river!
Snowboy, get over to Doc's.

- I'll take the alleys.
- We'll take the streets.

- The park.
- The schoolyard.

We'll take the playground.

What about me?

You? In and out of the shadows.

- Maybe you'll find Tony in one of them.
- Right!

You done good, buddy boy.

Thanks, daddy-o.

Who is...

Maria.

Maria, it's Anita. You in there?

- Maria?
- Yes.

Open the door. I need you.

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 will help us. I'll get money from him.

- You'll meet me at his store.
- At Doc's, yes.

- I'll wait for you there.
- All right.

Yes.

Hurry!

Coming, Anita.

Anita.

- All right, now you know.
- And you still don't know.

He is one of them!

- No, Anita!
- Yes!

Chino has a gun.

I heard the boys talking.

- He's hunting for Tony.
- He is at Doc's store, waiting for me.

If Chino hurts him, if he touches
him, I swear to you, I'll...

- 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 Lt. Schrank. I don't like to
disturb you at a time like this...

Yes, a very bad time.
You'll excuse me, please.

- I have a couple of questions to ask.
- Afterwards, please.

- I must go to my brother now.
- 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 last night, your brother
got into a heavy argument...

because you danced with the wrong boy.

- Yes.
- Who was the boy?

Another from my country.

And his name?

José.

- Can't find him. He ain't nowhere.
- He's right down there in the cellar.

- Tony?
- Safe and sound.

- I found him.
- You warn him about Chino?

- What's he doin' in the cellar?
- Keepin' the mice company, stupid.

- No sign of Chino?
- Nothin'.

His luck.

I'll slip out the back and
check the alleys again.

- You guys hang here.
- Right.

- Boy, I'm thirsty. Where's Doc?
- Upstairs raising getaway money for Tony.

- Doc ain't got no money.
- His mattress has.

Come on. Cut the frabberjabber.
Grab some readin' matter.

Play the juke. Some of you get outside.

If you see Chino or those
stinkin' PR's comin...

- I'd like to see Doc.
- He ain't here.

- Where is he?
- He went to the bank.

They made a mistake in his favor.

The banks are closed at night.
Where is he?

You know how skinny Doc is.

He slipped in through
the night-deposit slot.

And got stuck halfway in.

Which indicates there's no
tellin' when he'll be back.

Buenas noches, señorita.

Where you goin'?

- 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.

- Don't
- Please don't.

- Por favor.
- No comprende.

- Gracias.
- De nada.

Mambo!

- Listen, you!
- We're listenin'.

Look, I gotta give a
friend of yours a message.

- I gotta tell Tony...
- He ain't here.

- I know he is.
- Who says he is?

- Who's the message from?
- Never mind.

Couldn't be from Chino, could it?

Don't you understand? I want to help!

- Bernardo's girl wants to help?
- Even a greaseball's got feelings.

- But she wants to help get Tony.
- No!

- Not much. Bernardo's tramp.
- Bernardo's pig!

- You lyin' Spic!
- Don't do that.

- Gold tooth!
- Pierced ear!

- Don't.
- Garlic mouth.

- I want to help!
- Come on!

- Go!
- Chiquita!

No!

Olé! Olé!

Hey, babe!

Come on!

Let's get her!

- No, you don't.
- Come on, baby.

Come on!

Stop it!

What are you doing there?

Bernardo was right.

If one of you...

was lying in the street bleeding...

l'd walk by and spit on you!

She'll tell Chino that
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 that 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 outta here!

Maria?

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

- Yes, I got it.
- Doc, 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.
- No, I'll never! I couldn't.

Doc, you know what we're gonna
do in the country, Maria and me?

We'll have kids, and we'll
name 'em all after you...

even the girls, so when you visit us...

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...

Never 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.

Not Maria, Doc.

She's...

Chino!

Come and get me, too, Chino!

- Come and get me, too!
- Tony!

Who's that?

- It's me, Anybodys. Come on.
- Get out of here!

- Chino, come and get me, damn you!
- What are you doin'?

Get out of here!

Why don't you come with me?
We'll find...

It ain't playin' anymore!
Can't any of you get that?

- But the gang...
- You're a girl! Be a girl and beat it!

Come on, Chino! Get me, too!

I'm callin' for you, Chino!

There's nobody here but me. Come on!

Please, will you?

I'm waitin' for you.

I want you to.

Maria.

Tony!

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.

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, and
my brother, and Riff...

not with bullets and guns.

With hate!

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?

No!

Don't you touch him!

Te adoro, Anton.
