Bernardo didn't mean it either... I thought you knew. I didn't come to tell you that. Just for you to forgive me so I can go to the police.

Tony : [singing] Maria... I just met a girl named Maria! And suddenly that name will never be the same to me! Maria - I've just kissed a girl named Maria! And suddenly I found, how wonderful a sound can be! Maria! Say it loud and there's music playing! Say it soft, and it's almost like praying... Maria... I'll never stop saying Maria!

Tony : [singing] Could be... Who knows? There's something due any day, I will know right away, soon as it shows... It may come canonballing down through the sky, gleam in its eye, bright as a rose! Who knows? It's only just out of reach, down the block, on a beach, under a tree - I got a feeling there's a miracle due, gonna come through, coming to me! Could it be? Yes it could - Something's coming, Something good! If I can wait... Something's coming, I don't know what it is, but it is gonna be great! With a click, with a shock, phone'll jingle, door'll knock, open the latch... Something's coming, don't know when, but it's soon, catch the moon - one-handed catch! Around the corner... or whistling down the river! Come on, deliver to me! Will it be? Yes it will. Maybe just by holding still, it'll be there... Come on something, come on in, don't be shy, meet a guy, pull up a chair! The air is humming, and something great is coming... Who knows? It's only just out of reach, down the block, on a beach, maybe tonight... Maybe tonight... Maybe tonight...
