Separate! Separate!

You're driving me to my grave,
ya pack of jackals.

Watch yourself, sergeant krupke,

you're gonna inflame your asthma,

- shouting like that.
- (LAUGHTER)

Why don't you leave
the Puerto Ricans alone, riff?

Christ almighty. And you lot,

you're in New York now.

You got a problem, you call the cops.

Youse can't play
at being cops yourselves.

Pero we call the cops,
you show up and arrest us!

You're never around
when these hijueputas

mess up our stores and our streets.

See, I get confused
when you say "our streets,"

seeing how these streets
are ours by right

- of being born here, amigo.
- The jets!

(ALL ARGUING INDISTINCTLY)

Jesus wept, baby John.

Who did that to your ear?

Which one of them nailed you?

Who cracked your head open, hombre?

- (SPEAKS SPANISH)
- In English.

Same guy who nailed your ear, maybe?

Maybe. I don't remember.

I realise if any of you helps me out,

you might spoil your chance
to murder each other

over control of this earthly paradise.

The jets control it and you know it.

Uh-huh, yeah,

but, golly gee, Balkan, not according

to the New York City committee
for slum clearance,

which has decided
to pull this whole hellmouth

down to the bedrock,

and you're in the way.

Aah! (SHUDDERING)

(WHISTLES)

Nice reflexes, muchacho.

So, any day now,

all of you are gonna be evicted.

You'll have to "vamoose,"
as we say in Spanish.

We're not relocating.

(MAN SPEAKS SPANISH)

We have rights.

Rights, huh? Where are they?

- (BERNARDO GROWLS)
- (SPEAKS SPANISH)

You back down, Bernardo.
Don't be stupid.

Some night, muchacho,

maybe you'll get to see me fight.

'Course, you'll have to leave
your gun at home, lieutenant.

Evict yourself off my crime scene,
Bernardo.

Vamos.

(ALL SINGING)

You want me to book

Keep up the serenade and see what...

(SINGING CONTINUES)

¡Viva Puerto Rico libre!

I am ordering you clowns to disperse!

Now!

(ALL CONTINUE SINGING)

(CROWD CHEERING)

We're outnumbered, boys.

Thousands more are on their way,

and once they're here,

they pop out kids like crazy.
Am I right?

Tell me which one of them
nailed baby John's ear

and I'll put him out of circulation.

Work with me, fellas.

Or they're gonna drive you
off your turf.

You said it was
the slum clearance committee

that was driving us off,

now it's the prs.

You gotta get your story straight,
lieutenant schrank.

We're very impressionable.

Most of the white guys
who grew up in this slum

climbed their way out of it.

Irish, Italian, Jews.

Nowadays, their descendants
live in nice houses

and drive nice cars

and date nice girls you'd want to marry.

Your dads or your granddads stayed put,

drinking and knocking up
some local piece

who gave birth to you.

The last of the
can't-make-it caucasians.

What's a gang without its terrain,
its turf?

You're a month or two away
from finding out,

one step ahead of the wrecking ball.

And in this uncertain world,

the only thing you can count on is me.

I'm here to keep the civil peace

until the last building falls.

And if you boys make trouble

on my turf, riff, hand to heart,

you're headed to an upstate prison cell

for a very long time.

By the time you get out,

this will be a shiny new neighbourhood
of rich people

in beautiful apartments

with puerto rican doormen
to chase trash like you away.

Wait!

I got a question for you, lieutenant.

How tall did you used to be before you,

you know, "schrank"?

(JETS LAUGHING)

Come on, sergeant, ride with me.

Long as I know you, riff,

you ain't had the sense,
god gave a pigeon.

RIFF: Come here, let's see what he done.

Come on.

Well, that's gonna scar, buddy boy.

- You think so? (CHUCKLES)
- Frankenstein time.

They can't make us up and leave.

We're here, ain't we?

American citizens,
which them spics ain't!

Them they can chase off, not us.

Puerto Ricans are Americans,

- you ignoramus.
- Ah, go eat a green banana!

Puerto Rico's like a state,
ain't it? So, deez is right...

BABY JOHN: No, it's something else.

JETS MEMBER: There are only 48 states,

- ya dead battery.
- What do you know?

- (LAUGHTER)
- Whatever they are,

citizens or who gives a fart,
what we know is...

JETS MEMBER 2: They ain't us.

So, spill it, krazy Kat,
what are you thinking?

(METAL CLINKS)

I'm thinking it's past time
for a rumble.

For a all-in, all-out, once- and-for-all,

winner-takes-all, high-noon-shootout-

- at-the-o.k. Corral rumble!
- (ALL SHOUT EXCITEDLY)

BALKAN: Wild blue yonder! About time!

We do 'em like we done
the Egyptian kings.

- And the emeralds.
- And the bishops.

Alright, so Tony and me
will sit down with...

- JETS MEMBER: Tony?
- Yeah, Tony.

Jets member 2:
What's this got to do with him?

He ain't stood with us
once since he got out.

He's on parole.
He's gotta be careful, is all.

He cannot be running around...

Tony's done with the jets, riff.

He ain't done with the jets.
Like that's even a thing!

You cannot be done with this family.

Maybe it wasn't a thing before,
but now, riff?

The lieutenant's right.

What are the jets
if we got no territory?

- JETS MEMBER: That's right!
- ALL: Yeah.

Schrank doesn't know
his ass from his elbow.

Look,

Tony and me started the jets

cause none of us would even be here

if it wasn't for all of us.

- And all you know it.
- (JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

(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
if the spit hits the fan

you 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

- (TYRES SCREECH RHYTHMICALLY)
- You stay a

- jet
- (CARS HORNS HONKING)

So, meet Tony and me
at the dog days dance

at the gym tonight.

We can't rumble at the gym,
it'll be lousy with cops!

And maybe we've had enough trouble

with the Puerto Ricans for one day?

Relax. It's a social mixer.

So we'll mix until the time's right

to fix the rumble for tomorrow night.

Be there 10:00 pm, punctual-like,

dressed to kill, walking tall!

We always walk tall!
We're jets!

The greatest.

(SINGING) When you're a jet
you're the top cat in town

you're the gold-medal kid
with the heavyweight crown

when you're a jet

you're the swingin'est thing
little boy, you're a man

JETS: Little man you're a king

RIFF: The jets are in gear

our cylinders are clickin'

the sharks'll steer clear

JETS: Cause every
puerto rican's a lousy chicken

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

we 're drawin' the line
so keep your noses hidden

we 're hangin' a sign
says "visitors forbidden"

and we ain't kiddin'

JETS: Here come the jets, yeah
and we're gonna beat

every last buggin' gang
on the whole buggin' street

on the whole

ever mother-lo vin'

street

- yeah!
- (MUSIC ENDS)

- Can.
- RIFF: Come on.

Just for an hour, only a little hour.

You used to like dancing.

- No monkeyshines.
- Come on, riff, can.

Christ almighty. You know,
there's dust on everything.

You know, ever since...

Hey, I swear on what's holy,

it is just girls sipping punch
and music...

- And the sharks.
- And the spics.

- And a rumble.
- Which all you gotta do...

You're on your own, pal-o-mine.

Is help me haggle
over the terms of the rumble.

You don't need me helping ya
screw up your life.

You know how I get.
I will start runnin' my mouth.

You... you got command.

You are West Side legendary! And, Tony,

Tony, the jets.
I gave 'em my word you'd show.

- Why would you do that?
- Because...

Because it's a rumble!

We need you if we're going to war.

You can't refuse us now.
And because I know you.

Or I thought I did,

before you got all unlike yourself,

before you went upstate.

WOMAN: Tony? (SPEAKS SPANISH)

I'm coming!

It's like you're still in prison,

and the old witch is the warden.

She gave me a job and a place to stay.

She's always been there
for me, like nobody else.

- Oh, nobody, huh? Thanks, pal.
- So don't call her...

Thanks a big fat lot. Yeah.

You know I didn't mean you wasn't there.

You was always there.

- Womb to tomb.
- Sperm to worm.

So, come with me to the dance, huh?

Come on.

Is it graziella? That what's eatin' you?

No, it ain't grazie. (CHUCKLES)

She said that you and she was done.

It's good that
you're keeping her company.

Even before you got locked up, you know?

It's cool. Don't get all
the way you get.

Grazie's a great girl,
and the jets are the greatest.

And you, you're like,
you know, blood to me.

But I'm scared of myself, riff.

What I done to that kid.
What I almost done.

You gotta get over that.

What is the point
in beating yourself up?

I wanna be unlike how I was.

Cause I was disappearing down a sewer

and taking you and everything with me.

- WOMAN: Tony, you coming?
- Yeah, he heard ya!

I had time. Lots of it.

Locked up like that,

and for the first time ever,
I took a look inside,

and that was rough, doing that,

but I... I gotta stay with myself.

You know what I mean? Maybe stay...

By myself, just for...

Yeah, you know what?

You're just too deep for me, kid.

You know, I don't know who I am.

And who cares who I am?

Nobody, including me.

I know that this dust

that's covering everything right now,

that's the four-story buildings
that was standing here

when you went upstate a year ago.

You know, I wake up to everything I know

either getting sold or wrecked,

or being taken over by people
that I don't like.

And they don't like me.

And you know what's left
out of all that?

The jets.

My guys. My guys, who are just like me.

Who are just like you.

I can't go to the dance, riff!

My parole officer said no going out!

I told you I don't want you in my store.

I'm a paying customer.

You've been stealing from me
since you were six.

Now, get out.
I mean it.

And leave Tony alone.

He is not allowed to associate
with criminals.

Look, don't fall off that ladder.

At your age, brittle bones.
That's all I'm saying.

WOMAN: You'll pay for that candy.

Five cents.
On the counter!

Stand me for a milky way, huh?
Least you could do.

Womb to tomb

wasn't never a joke for me.

- Don't be like that.
- (DOOR CLOSES)

Just cause I can't go to a dance?

Tony, I don't tell you
who to hang out with. But...

(IMITATES HER) "But those
boys are juvenile delinquent.

"They're no good for you.
And you better watch out."

Hey.

(IMITATES HIM)
"You make fun of the way I talk

- "one more time, blondie..."
- (SNORTS)

(IN NORMAL TONE) I'm gonna
talk to riff and tell him

that he can't just
come in here and not pay.

Tony, wake up.

I know you love riff,
but he hates Puerto Ricans.

That is not you.

Riff don't hate you.

I married a gringo.

He thinks that makes me a gringa,

which it don't. And I ain't.

Well, it's guys like riff and me,

when things ain't familiar,

we just got this instinct to,
you know...

You...

Even as an angry little boy,
somehow there was this...

This promise
that you couldn't keep hidden.

Not from you.

And sometimes, I see you smiling,

like you're waiting for the,

what do you call, Irish sweepstakes,

instead of sweeping the floor
like I pay you to do.

I sweep as good as you pay.

- Yeah?
- Look it.

(GASPS) Ooh.

You see? Promise.

You bring dead floors back to life.

(TONY SIGHS)

Keep looking for better, mi milagro.

Like you always done.

(JAZZ MUSIC INTRO PLAYING SOFTLY)

(SIGHS)

(SINGING) Could be?

Who knows?

There's something due any day
I will know right away

soon as it shows

- it may come cannonballing
- (GASPS) Aah!

Down through the sky
gleam in its eye

- bright as a Rose
- (LAUGHS)

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'll jingle,
door'll 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 whistling 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 humming

and something great is coming

who knows?

It's only just out of reach
down the block, on a beach

maybe tonight

Necesito lipstick.

Please, some lipstick,

You are a kid, kiddo.

I'm 18. I have a job.

I've been taking care of papi

Bernardo thinks I'm a baby.

Who cares what Bernardo thinks?

Chino is the only boy who counts.

Chino is a very sweet boy.

You always look out for me.

You're the best friend I ever had.

I owe you so much.
But I just wish that...

You're the smartest friend I ever had.

María needs to meet smart guys like you.

Let me join the sharks.

Ay, muchacho, not this again.

Por favor, let me help you
protect our people.

BERNARDO: No.

You keep out of that. It's stupid.

We gotta do it, but it's stupid.

María can't like a lambeojo
who just works day and night.

Never stands up like her brother does.

She says all the time

she doesn't want anyone like me.

Just be chino.

But be a chino who dances.

(DOOR OPENS)

He took off from night school

just so he could take you to the dance.

Gracias, chino.

Night school, accounting, and...

And, chino, what else
are you learning about?

Adding machine repair.

ANITA: And just think,

how many adding machines
in New York City.

Chino is gonna be rich.

Well, not exactly, pero...

Boxers get rich.

Boxers get their brains knocked out.

Bossy, como te dije,

I was back in Puerto Rico.

In my dream, we had six kids.

Six kids? Marry a cat.

I've been asking you for five years.

ANITA: Mm-hmm.

You want to marry me,
then leave the gringos alone.

BERNARDO: I'm gonna make
quick work of the jets.

BERNARDO: Don't worry about that.

You don't have a fight till next week.

The match with that Thompson guy.

What was his name?

Your brother has something
to say to you.

I apologise

for behaving last night like a...

Like a gangster.

(ASSENTS IN SPANISH)

It was embarrassing.

And he's apologising.

Perdón.

I'm a grown-up now, Bernardo.

I can dance with anyone I like.

As long as he's puertorriqueño.

But why? Tony's a nice boy.

Tony? (SPEAKS SPANISH)

Tony. Who cares if he's a...?

I don't know what he is. A yankee?

He's a polack. That's what he is.

A big, dumb polack.

"Polack," says the spic.

Now you sound like a real American.
(CHUCKLES)

I don't want you to marry a gringo.

Marry him?

I danced with him, Bernardo.

For a minute, until you...

You're crazy.
I can't talk to you anymore.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

I was OK on my own.

Just me and papi
for five years without you,

while you came here,

where you do everything you want.

You... you study, and you make money...

And he boxes.

Sí. And you have your boxing.

And he fights in the streets.

Don't fight with the jets.

Here, dead man, eat your eggs.

I want to be happy here.

Enghsh.

Puerto Rico, Sí.

That is what you think.

- I'm gonna think for myself.

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

(ANITA BREATH ES DEEPLY)

You want to know where my home is?

It's where I pay rent. Right here,

where I work my fingers raw,

mending pants and hemming neckties

so that I can earn enough money

to pay other girls to sew for me,

so that someday
I can rent a shop of my own

in this great, big,
beautiful Nueva York.

(SNAPS FINGERS)

And if you think

that I'm going back home

You are never done with troubles. Nunca.

- Nunca. "Nunca" means "never"?
- Uh-huh.

What's "forever"?

Like, "I wanna be with you forever."

You don't wanna start, maybe,

with "I'd like to
take you out to coffee"?

No. Come on, tell me.

Riff.

Tell him, riff, tell him not to.

It's because of us
they're gonna fight, verdad?

Well, get your brother to call it off.

Bernardo's too angry.

Well, riff's angry, too, so...

- Come on.
- (TRAIN HORN TOOTS)

This place we're going,
it's, uh, up past Harlem.

It's practically
at the tip of the island.

My brother...

There's so much more
against him than riff.

He's angry because...

The whole world has been against riff

since he was born.

Do you think it's easier for us?

Uh, well, I think you come
from families, homes.

You and Bernardo, you have hope.

You think riff has that?

Riff could have hope
if he didn't try to take hope

from people he doesn't know.

Riff didn't start this, it was Bernardo.

He came after me.

Just cause I wanted to dance with you.

Tony, if someone gets hurt
because of what we do...

What did we do to anyone?

We don't do anything wrong,
liking each other,

- pero...
- María.

I don't just like you.

We can't pretend what we do
doesn't cause trouble.

I can't talk my guys
outta making trouble.

Trouble's what they're made of.

All of you go suck a pickle.

You think we're going to jail?

They're fishing, is all.
Asking questions.

Which we ain't answering.

So, you're gonna tell me

where and when the rumble's happening...

Or I'm gonna send you
straight to the tombs.

I don't know where the rumble is.

I don't even know what a rumble is.

Uh, they don't tell me nothing.

They know I can't keep any secrets.

They tell you when to show up, right?

Nah, they don't.

I just hang around
until somebody says "let's go."

And then?

(FAINT RADIO CHATTER)

I can't go to jail, deez.

Dry up, weepy, or else go sit
on the ladies' bench

with the other dickless wonder.

- Leave her be.
- Get stuffed, why don't ya?

Go back to the zoo, why don't ya?

Go suck on your sister's titty,
why don't ya?

You Guinea hyena.

Hey, krupke! You made a mistake.

She ain't a jet.
She nags us all the time.

Hey, I ought to be a jet.
Tony told me...

She ain't a jet.

- She ain't even a boy.
- Pipe down, a-rab.

- She's a dumb girl.
- I ain't a girl!

She looks like some kinda

He ain't never been nothing before.

One, tell 'em what they wanna hear.

And two, don't tell 'em nothing.

Hey, garbage!

Wait, can I catch it by touching him?

Get down.

OK.

It ain't just a question
of misunderstood

deep down inside him
he's no good

- I'm no good
- 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 drinks

the trouble is he's lazy

the trouble is he stinks

the trouble is he's growin'

First time I saw this place,

I was on a prison bus.

Up to the state prison in ossining.

There was a rumble.

And I busted up this kid.

He was in the Egyptian kings.

He only didn't die because of luck,

like, one more punch
and he probably would've died.

And I would've done it.

I would've murdered this messed-up kid

who wasn't no different from me.

And for a year in prison
and since I got out,

I can't quit thinking about
what I almost done.

I think about killing him, and...

And it's like I'm always
just about to fall off

the edge of
the world's tallest building.

I stopped failing the second I saw you.

Bullets.

We got money.

I don't sell heaters to unscrubbed boys.

These guys,
the ones we're rumbling with,

they're bringing heat.

Cause they think we're bringing heat.

So, we need to bring heat

so they know that we ain't defenceless.

And vice versa.

Mutually assured destruction.

I don't know what that is.

That's a Smith and Wesson, model 10.

Classic of its kind.

If you want it, take it, why don't ya?

Fires Trey eights.

Makes quite a hole for a little gun.

It's loaded.

You don't gotta cock it, even.

It don't matter what I did.

I'm different now. And...

You don't gotta worry about me

Don't ever say that, Tony.

Mm. They're the same thing.

But now, it's all life is.

Even if it lasts no time at all.

Don't leave me here!

Get off of me!

Chino, kill me!

Kill me, too, chino!

María.

(CONTINUES CRYING)

you're the only thing I'll see

(VOICE QUIVERS) Forever

in my eyes, in my words

and in everything I do

(VOICE BREAKING)
Nothing else but you

(SHOUTING)
How many bullets are left?

Enough for you?

And you?

All of you!

I can kill now because I hate now.

I hate now.

How many can I kill, chino?

And still have one bullet left for me!
