Leonard Bernstein
Dance at the Gym: Meeting Scene
[TONY, spoken]
You're not thinking I'm someone else?
[MARIA, spoken]
I know you are not.
[TONY, spoken]
Or that we've met before?
[MARIA, spoken]
I know we have not.
[TONY, spoken]
I knew something never before was going to happen, had to happen. But this...
[MARIA, spoken]
My hands are so cold. Yours, too. So warm.
[TONY, spoken]
Yours, too.
[MARIA, spoken]
But of course. They are the same.
[TONY, spoken]
So much to believe. You're not joking me?
[MARIA, spoken]
I have not yet learned how to joke that way. I think now I never will.
[BERNARDO, spoken]
Maria! Come along, Maria.
