West Side Story - Height and Heritage in Conversation
Maria:
You're tall.
Tony:
Yeah, and... you're not.
Maria:
You're not Puerto Rican.
Tony: [amused]
You're just figuring that out?
Maria:
From down here I wasn't sure.
Tony:
Is it okay? That I'm not?
Maria:
I don't know. Creo que sí, pero...como yo nunca - Since I never seen you before. This is my first time dancing in New York City, so you tell me. Is it OK?
Tony: [Maria suddenly tries to kiss Tony. Startled, he pulls back.]
Not much I can do about it, but— Sorry, you just caught me by surprise is all. I'm a by-the-book type, so...
Maria:
By the book?
Tony:
Try me again?
Luz: [offscreen]
¡María! ¡María! ¿Qué haces? ¡Sal de ahí ahora mismo!
