West Side Story Page #3

I used to get from being a Jet.

Well, now you're talking!

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

With a gang,

you walk in twos, threes, fours.

When your crew is the best,

when you're a Jet,

you're out in the sun,

you're home, free home.

Riff, I've had it.

Tony.

Tony, look at me, will you?

Come on, look at me.

I'm looking at you.

I never asked the time of day

from a clock, did I?

I never asked nothing from nobody.

But I'm asking 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 did you tell 'em?

For me, Tony. For Riff.

- 10 it is.

- Womb to tomb?

Birth to earth! I'll live to regret this.

What you're waiting for

may be twitching at the dance.

Yeah. Who knows?

Who knows?

Could be

Who knows?

There's something due any day

I will know right away

Soon as it shows

It may come cannonballin'

down through the sky

Gleam in its eye,

bright as a rose

Who knows?

It's only just out of reach

Down the block, on a beach

Under a tree

I got a feeling

there's a miracle due

Gonna come true

Coming to me

Could it be?

Yes, it could

Something's coming,

something good

If I can wait

Something's coming

I don't know what it is

But it is gonna be great

With a click

With a shock

Phone will jingle

Door will knock

Open the latch

Something's coming

Don't know when, but it's soon

Catch the moon,

one-handed catch

Around the corner

Or whistlin' down the river

Come on, deliver

To me

Will it be

Yes, it will

Maybe just by holding still

It'll be there

Come on, something

Come on in, don't be shy

Meet a guy, pull up a chair

The air is hummin'

And something great is coming

Who knows

It's only just out of reach

Down the block, on a beach

Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight

Maybe tonight

Por favor, Anita. You are my friend.

You must make the neck lower.

Stop heckling me. We are working

on our time, 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.

With those boys, you can start in

dancing and end up praying!

Querida. One little inch.

- Un poquitino.

- Bernardo made me promise.

Bernardo!

One month have I been in this country!

Do I ever touch excitement?

I sew here all day.

I sit at home all night.

Why did my 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
