West Side Story1961

[At the playground near midnight, Maria holds Tony, who has just been shot by Chino. The Jets and Sharks, having heard the gunshot, come in behind them.]

Tony:
I didn't believe hard enough.

Maria:
Loving is enough.

Tony:
Not here. They won't let us be.

Maria:
Then we'll get away.

Tony:
Yeah. We can?

Maria:
Yes.

Tony:
We will?

Maria:
Yes. [sings] Hold my hand and we're halfway there. Hold my hand and I'll take you there. Somehow, someday, some... [Tony dies. As she lays him down on the ground gently, the Jets start towards Chino and the Sharks advance towards them].

Maria:
Stay back! [The gangs stop. Maria walks over to Chino and takes the gun from him]. How do you fire this gun, Chino? Just by pulling this little trigger?! How many bullets are left, Chino? [Points the gun at the Sharks, who move back] Enough for you? Or you? All of you! You all killed him, and my brother, and Riff! Not with bullets and knives, but with HATE! Well, I can kill now too, because now I have hate! How many can I kill, Chino? How many -- and still have one bullet left for me? [Unable to fire the gun, she drops it and breaks down in tears. Schrank and Krupke arrive, and Schrank starts towards Tony's body. Maria runs over and covers Tony] DON'T YOU TOUCH HIM! [Schrank steps back. Maria gently kisses Tony]. Te adoro, Anton.
