Riff: This turf is small but it's all we got, huh?

I wanna hold it like we always held it, with skin!

But if they say blades, I say blades but if they say guns, I say guns. I say I want the Jets to be

the number one! To sail! To hold the sky!

Baby John: Rev us up!

Gee-Tar: Voom-va-voom!

Big Deal: Cha-chung!

Action: Wacko-jacko!

A-Rab: Digga-digga-dig-dum!

Riff: Now, protocality calls for a war council between us and the Sharks to set the whole thing

up. So I will personally give the bad news to Bernardo. Aganst the Sharks, we need every man we

got we need a lieutenant for the war council.

Action: That's me.

Riff: That's Tony.

Action: Who needs Tony?

Riff: We need Tony! He has a reputation bigger than the whole west side.

Action: Tony don't belong no more.

Riff: Cut it, Action. Tony and I started the Jets.

A-Rab: What about the day we clobbered the Emeralds?

Big Deal: Which we couldn't have done without Tony.

Baby John: He saved my ever-lovin' neck!

Riff: Yeah, he's come through for us and he always

will.

Riff: When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way

from your first cigarette to your last dyin' day.

When you're a Jet, let 'em do what they can. You

got brothers around, you're a family man! You're

never alone, you're never disconnected! You're

home with your own when company's expected, you're

well protected! Then you are set with a capital

J, which you'll never forget till the cart you away. When you're a Jet, you stay a Jet!

Riff: I know Tony like I know me and I guarantee

you can count him in.

Action: In, out, let's get crackin'.

A-Rab: Where you gonna find Bernardo?

Baby John: It ain't safe to go into PR territory.

Riff: He'll be at the dance at the gym tonight.

A-Rab: Yeah, but the gym's neutral territory.

Riff(innocently): A-Rab, I'm gonna make nice with

him! I'm only gonna challenge him
