Balcony Scene (Tonight) (from West Side Story) - Leonard Bernstein

Maria?

Maria!

Shh!

Maria!

Quiet!

Come down.

No!

Maria!

Please!

If Bernardo knew.

He’s at the dance!

Come down.

He will soon bring Anita home.

Just for a minute?

A minute is not enough.

For an hour then?

I cannot.

Forever!

Shhhh!

Then I’m comin' up!

Maria!

Momentito, papa.

It is dangerous.

I’m not one of them.

You are, but to me, you are not.

Just as I am one of them.

To me, you’re all that--

Maruca!

Si!

Yo vengo, papa.

Maruca?

His pet name for me.

I like him, and he will like me.

No. He is like Bernardo: afraid.

Imagine being afraid of you.

You see?

I see you.

See only me.
