The Street - Midnight
(Tony is calling for Chino to kill him too Maria
steps out of the darkness Then another figure

appears: Chino As Maria and Tony run to each
other, Chino shoots Tony, and he stumbles
Maria watches him and cradles him in her arms
Other Jets, Sharks and girls run on)

MARIA:
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
Hold my hand and 1''ll take you there
Somehow,
Some day

TONY:
Hold my hand and I'll take you there,
Somehow

(He dies After a moment Maria gently rests him

on the floor and lightly brushes his lips with
her fingers Krupke, Doc and other adults have
entered)

MARIA (softly, privately): Te adoro, Anton

(She kisses him gently Two Jets and two Sharks
lift up Tony's body and carry him out The others
fall in behind to make a procession Maria sits
quietly At last, she gets up and, despite her
tears, lifts her head proudly and turns to follow
the others The adults are left alone)
