Tribute to West Side Story

Another one of the greatest musicals ever...

Riff: Look, Tony, I've never asked the time of day from a clock but I'm asking you—come to the dance tonight.
Ice: Just play it cool, boy—real cool.
Tony: You heard - it's gonna be a fair fight!
Doc: And that's going to cure something?
Tony: From here on in, everythin's gonna be all right! I got a feelin'!
Doc: What have you been taking tonight?
Tony: A trip to the moon! And I'll tell ya a secret. It ain't a man that's up there, Doc. It's a girl, lady. Buenas noches, Senor.
Doc: Buenas noches? So that's why you made it a fair fight...
Tony: I'm gonna see her tomorrow an' I can't wait!
Doc: Tony... things aren't tough enough?
Tony: Tough? Doc, I'm in love!
Doc: And you're not frightened?
Tony: Should I be?
Doc: [after a pause] No. I'm frightened enough for the both of us.
Bernardo: I'd like to go back to San Juan...
Anita: I know a boat you can get on!
Tony: I- I didn't believe hard enough.
Maria: Loving is enough.
Tony: Not here. They won't let us be.
Maria: Then we'll run away.
Tony: Yeah, we can.
Maria: Yes.
Tony: We will...
Maria: Hold my hand and we're halfway there—hold my hand and I'll take you there, Someday, Somehow, Some...
(The word dies on her lips)
Maria:(whispering)...where...
Tony: It's all right—we're really together now!
Maria: But it's not us—it's everything around us.
Tony: Then I'll take you away, where nothing can get to us! Not anyone...or anything.
Maria: I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

Maria: Te adoro, Antone.
Anybodys, Tomboy: I ain't never gonna get married. Too noisy.
A-Rab: You ain't never gonna get married. Too ugly.
Anybodys, Tomboy: Hey buddy boys!
Action: Ah, go wear a skirt.
Anybodys, Tomboy: Listen...
Ice: The first thing we do is we start showin' around like we have nothin' to hide...
Anybodys, Tomboy: Listen!
A-Rab: Supposin' they ask us about the rumble?
Anybodys, Tomboy: Supposin' they ask you where's Tony and what party's lookin' for him? WITH A GUN.
Ice: Hey, you know somethin'?
Anybodys, Tomboy: (miffed) I know I gotta go get a skirt.
Doc: When do you kids stop? You make this world lousy!
Action: We didn't make it, Doc.
Lieutenant Schrank: Oh—do you mind?
Doc:(tiredly) I have no mind. I'm the village idiot!
Doc: Why do you kids live like there's a war on?
Maria and Tony: Today, the world was just an address—a place for me to live in—no better than alright...
But here, you are, and what was just a world, is a star! Tonight!
