• Tony : All my life, it's like I'm always just about to fall off the edge of the world's tallest building. I stopped falling the second I saw you.

• Tony : If you hadn't cared for me like you always done, I wouldn't even be here alive, which - maybe I shouldn't be.

  Valentina : Don't *ever* say that, Tony. Life matters even more than love.

  Tony : They're the same thing.

• Riff : [Tony arrives at the rumble]  And just when all hope is lost. So, is this the shot heard round the world, or just, you know, more of your bullshit?

  Tony : Don't ask me about shooting, pal. You're the one with the gun.

  Riff : That's right, and who are you? Friend or foe?

• Tony : [to Maria]  The world's been against Riff since he was born.

• Tony : [singing]  Tonight, tonight, Won't be just any night, Tonight there will be no morning star, Tonight, tonight, I'll see my love tonight, And for us stars will stop where they are!

  Maria Vasquez : Today, the minutes seem like hours, The hours go so slowly, And still the sky is light

  Tony , Maria Vasquez : Oh, moon, grow bright And make this endless day Endless night...

• Tony : [singing]  Maria... I just met a girl named Maria! And suddenly that name will never be the same to me! Maria - I've just kissed a girl named Maria! And suddenly I found, how wonderful a sound can be! Maria! Say it loud and there's music playing! Say it soft, and it's almost like praying... Maria... I'll never stop saying Maria!

• Tony : [singing]  Could be... Who knows? There's something due any day, I will know right away, soon as it shows... It may come canonballing 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 through, 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... Maybe tonight... Maybe tonight...

• Maria Vasquez : Wait. Wait. I forgot why I called you.

  Tony : I'll wait til you remember.

• Maria Vasquez : Tony, if someone gets hurt because of what we do... .

  Tony : What'd we do to anyone?

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

  Tony : I can't talk my guys out of making trouble. Trouble is what they're made of.

  Tony : Is that okay? That I'm not?

  Maria Vasquez : I don't know.

• Valentina : Keep looking for better, mi milagro. Like you always done.

  Tony : [singing]  Could be? Who knows? There's something due any day, I will know right away, Soon as it shows, It may come cannonballing, 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...

• Maria Vasquez , Tony : [singing]  The world is wild and bright, Going mad, Shooting sparks into space...

• Tony : When are you gonna grow up?

  Riff : Never, probably. Born to die young, Daddy-o.

• Tony : Gee whillikers, Batman. Since when you carry a rod?

  Riff : Well, I don't got magic powers like you, Superman, so I got this.

• Tony : All right, let's get some beer and some weed and let's go to the zoo.

  Riff : Like the old days, huh?

  Tony : Yeah. I will if you will.

  Riff : You know me, brother. I don't look back.

  Tony : Why? You afraid of what you're gonna see?

  Riff : No, I look ahead. I wanna be prepared in case they come prepared. So, give me the gun, Tony. I mean it. Now.

  Tony : [singing]  Boy, boy, crazy boy, Get cool, boy, Got a rocket, In your pocket, Keep coolly cool, boy...

  [She breaks down into tears and collapses onto the floor] 

  Tony : I'm going to the cops. I just had to see you first.

  [He turns to leave, but María grabs his jacket, holding him back] 

  Maria Vasquez : If you let them take you from me, how do I forgive you for that?

• Maria Vasquez : You promised you would stop this. You promised you would stop this!

  Tony : I tried. I tried.
