Leonard Bernstein — The Dance at the Gym: Cha-Cha Meeting Scene Jump

[Instrumental] [TONY, spoken] Funny, I wasn’t plannin' on showin' up tonight.  [MARÍA, spoken] You don't like dancing? [TONY, spoken] No. I mean, yeah, I like it. I like it a lot, dancing with you. It’s just you’re, uh... [MARÍA, spoken] You're tall.  [TONY, spoken] Yeah, I know. You’re not.  [MARÍA, spoken] You’re not Puerto Rican.  [TONY, spoken] You just figurin' that out? [MARÍA, spoken] From down here I wasn’t sure.  [TONY, spoken] Is that okay? That I'm not? [MARÍA, spoken] 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 okay? [TONY, spoken] Not much I can do about it, but— [María suddenly tries to kiss Tony. Startled, he pulls back.] [TONY, spoken] Sorry, you just caught me by surprise is all. I’m a by-the-book type, so... [MARÍA, spoken] By the book? [TONY, spoken] Try me again? [They kiss.] [LUZ, spoken] ¡María! [Instrumental]
