Maria's Bedroom - l1:30 p.m.
(Anita knocks at Maria's locked door. After agreeing
with Maria to meet at the drugstore, Tony scrambles
out the window, Maria opens the door for Anita, who
looks at the bed and turns to her accusingly.)
ANITA (bitterly):
A boy like that who'd kill your brother,
Forget that boy and find another,
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy like that will give you sorrow,
You'll meet another boy tomorrow,
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy who kills cannot love,
A boy who kills has no heart.
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart.
Very smart, Maria, very smart!
A boy like that wants one thing Only,
And when he's done he'll leave you lonely.
He'll murder your love; he murdered mine.
Just wait and see,
Just wait, Maria,
Just wait and see!
MARIA:
Oh, no, Anita, no!
Anita, no!
It isn't true, not for me.
I hear your words
And in my head
I know they're smart,
But my heart knows they're wrong,
And my heart is too strong.
For I belong to him alone, to him alone.
One thing I know: I am his.
I don't care what he is.
I don't know why it's so,
I don't want to know.
ANITA:
A boy like that who'd kill your brother,
Forget that boy and find another,
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy like that will give you sorrow,
You'll meet another boy tomorrow,
One of your own kind!
Stick to your own kind!
A boy who kills cannot love,
A boy who kills has no heart.
And he's the boy who gets your love
And gets your heart.
Very smart, Maria, very
