Rita Moreno Quotes

Anita ], my heart's devotion,Let it sink back in the ocean.Always the hurricanes blowing,Always the population growingAnd the money owing,And the sunlight streamingAnd the natives steaming.I like the island of Manhattan,Smoke on your pipe and put that in!

Girls I like to be in America,OK by me in America,Everything free in America!

Bernardo For a small fee in America.

Anita Buying on credit is so nice.

Bernardo One look at us and they charge twice.

Googie Gomez Some day, you're going to see the name of Googie Gomez in lights and you're going to say to yourself was that her? And you're gonna answer to yourself, that was her! But you know something, mister? I was always her, just that nobody knows it!

Googie Gomez Plastic Puerto Ricans!

Googie Gomez No rain, he tells me. No rain, he says. No rain! Fucking weather man!

Googie Gomez Oh, my boyfriend Hectar see me do that, he kill you with a knife this big!

Valentina Tony, I don't tell you who to hang out with, but-

Tony -Bu dose boysss are yuvenile delinquen'! Dey'rrrrrre no goo for jou and jou better wash ou'!

Valentina Hey, you make funna da way I tawk one more time, blondie!

Louise I don't think we're gonna have any trouble tonight. You're a real man, a kind man.

Jonathan I'm not kind.

Louise I don't mean the weak kind the way so many men are. I mean the kindness that comes from enormous strength, from an inner power so strong that every act, no matter what, is more proof of that power. That's what all women resent. That's why they try to cut ya down, because your knowledge of yourself and them is so right, so true, that it exposes the lies by which they, every scheming one of them, live by. It takes a true woman to understand that the purest form of love is to love a man who denies himself to her - a man who inspires worship, because he has no need for any woman, because he has himself. And who is better, more beautiful, more powerful, more perfect... you're getting hard... more strong, more masculine, extraordinary, more... bust. It's rising, it's rising... more virile, domineering, more irresistible. It's up - in the air...

Valentina There's a place for us, Somewhere a place for usPeace and quiet and open air wait for us, Somewhere.There's a time for us, Some day a time for usTime together with time to spare, time to look, time to care, Someday.Somewhere we'll find a new way of living.We'll find a way of forgiving, Somewhere.

Tony I'm happy to see you again.

Bernardo Now I will not say these things to spoil your evening or to hear myself talk. I am here longer than you, Maria...Someday, when you're an old married woman with five children, then you can tell me what to do. Right now, it's the other way around. Now go to bed.

Anita He's the old married woman. You know, she has a mother. Also a father.

Bernardo They do not know this country any better than she does.

Anita And you do not know it at all. Girls here are free to have fun. She is in America now.

Bernardo Puerto Rico is in America now.

Anita Sometimes I don't know which is thicker. Your skull or your accent.

Googie Gomez My hairs! Not my hairs!
