"The Jets are gonna have their day tonight!The Jets are gonna their way tonight!"

Outside, on the roof of an old warehouse, the Sharks have gathered and distributed their weapons, which they're stowing out of sight in pockets, and waistbands. They watch as Bernardo wraps his hands in boxers' protective wrap.
"We're gonna hand 'em a surprise tonight. We're gonna cut 'em down to size tonight. We said okay no rumpus, no tricks,but just in case they jump us, we're ready to mix."
"Tonight!" Bernardo exclaims, his fists ready.

"They're gonna get it tonight, the more they turn it on, the harder they'll fall." * The Jets march with speed and determination through the demolition of houses.
"Well they began it!" * The Sharks move with equal speed and determination down the alley.
"Well they began it."
They turn out of the alley and head towards the river and the sunset.
"And we're the ones to stop 'em once and for all!" Sing the Jets and the Sharks.
