The lights brightens up again and returns back to the Big Doc’s Drugstore setting before the last song. All the Jets girls were sitting at the dining booth and all the Jets are lined up near the door awaiting the Sharks arrival. A moment, then Dino, Nino, Isaac, Loco, Raul, Playa, Guapo, and Macho enters through the door and all group up in front of the door giving stern glares at the Jets. Nuggs walks over to the girls, who are now standing up, pats Queenie on her behind that gives her the sign to cut out along the other Jets girls. Queenie snaps her fingers to get the other girls follow her out the door. Angry Girl just pushes through Sharks like a tough guy following all the girls, except Princess, exits the door. Skull walks to her and takes her hand. He walks her to the door through the group of Sharks to protect her. He walks outside of the door with her and stands in front her and is holding her hands.
Princess: (Concerned look on her face) Be careful Duncan.
Skull: (Strokes a stray of her hair in front of her face and behind her ear softly with his hand.) Don’t worry Princess…….it’s just a war council.
Princess: (Frowns slightly and wraps her arms around his neck) I know but, I’m just worried you’ll end up getting in a fight with one of them and getting hurt.
Skull: (Smirks and wraps his arms around her waist) There’s no need to worry babe, if I lose my cool Nuggs will get me to calm down. I’ll see ya tomorrow before the rumble. I love you.
Princess: (Smiles) I love you too…..good night Duncan.
Skull: Good night Princess.
They lean to each other’s faces and starts kissing passionately. Skull grabs onto her neck and deepens the kiss as she runs her fingers through his green Mohawk. They pull away and slowly let’s go of each other’s hands as she walks away from the Drugstore. Once they let go and Princess exits, Skull goes back in the Drugstore and stands with the Jets.
Nuggs: Set ‘em up, Big Doc. Cokes all around.
Dino: (impatient) Let’s get down to business.
Nuggs: (Shakes his head mockingly) Dino hasn’t learned the procedures of gracious livin’.
Dino: (Furrows his eyebrows and glares at him) I don’t like you, either. So cut it.
Nuggs: Kick it, Big Doc.
Big Doc: Boys, couldn’t you maybe all talk it-
Nuggs: (Points to the basement door) Kick it!
Big Doc goes out. The two gangs places behind their leaders.
Nuggs: (Points at Dino) We challenge you to a rumble. All out, once and for all. Accept?
Dino: (Crosses his arms) On what terms?
Nuggs: Whatever terms you’re callin’, buddy boy. You crossed the line once too often.
Dino: (Glares at him) You started it.
Nuggs: (Frowns) Who jumped T-bag this afternoon?
Dino: (Gets angry) Who jumped me the first day I moved here?
Nuggs: (Getting up in his face) Who ask you to move here?
Dino: (Raises an eyebrow) Who asked you?
Partyboy: Move where you wanted!
T-bag: Back where ya came from!
Skull: Spics!
Isaac: Micks!
Loco: Wop!
Dino: We accept!
Nuggs: Time.
Dino: Tomorrow?
Nuggs: The river.
Dino: Under the Highway. (They shake)
Nuggs: Weapons!
Dino: Weapons…
Nuggs: You call.
Dino: Your challenge.
Nuggs: (Raises an eyebrow and smirks) Afraid to call?
Dino: …Sticks
Nuggs: …Rocks
Dino: …Poles
Nuggs: …Cans
Dino: …Bricks
Nuggs: …Bats
Dino: …Clubs
Tommy B: (Enters through the street door and stands between the two debating leaders) Bottles, knives, guns! (They stare) What coop full of chickens!
Dino: (Crosses his arms) Every dog knows his own.
Tommy B: I’m callin’ all of you chicken. The big touch buddy boys have to throws have to throw bricks! Afraid to get close in? Afraid to slug it out? Afraid to use plain skin?
Baby Trent: (Confused) Not even garbage?
Skulls: (Scowls) That ain’t ruble!
Nuggs: Who says?
Dino: You said call weapons.
Tommy B: A rumble can be clinched by a fair fight. If have the guts to risk that. Beast man from each gang to slug it out.
Dino: (Looking at Tommy B) I’d enjoy to risk that. O.K.! Fair Fight!
Isaac: What?
Skull: (simultaneously) No!
Nuggs: The commanders say yes or no. (to Dino) Fair fight. (They shake)
Dino: (To Tommy B) In two minutes you will be like a fish after skinnin’.
Nuggs: Your best man fights our best man and we pick him. (Claps Skull on the shoulder)
Skull: What me? (Points at Jock) But what about Jock? He’s the toughest-
Dino: (Looks Skull with a cocky smile) Awwww what’s the matter Skull? Afraid your skanky girlfriend have a heart attack seeing you come back to her with bruises and cuts tomorrow night? Less of a man to take challenge?
Skull: (Snaps with anger and balls up his fists) Enough of a man to take you head off spic! (Charges at him but Nuggs and Tommy B hold him back. Shouts at Dino in anger) Don’t EVER call my Princess a skank! (Breathes heavily)
Nuggs: (Patting Skulls shoulder) Easy Skull, save the anger for the rumble. (Lets him go when he became calm but is still glaring at Dino) So Dino who are you-
Dino: I will be the man to fight for my gang! (They shook)
One of the Jets near the door suddenly whistles. Instantly, they shift positions so they are mixed up, no segregation. Silence; then in comes Mcclean. During the following, the gangs are absolutely silent and motionless, unless otherwise indicated.
Big Doc: Good evening, Lieutenant Mcclean. I and Tommy B was just closing up.
Mcclean: (Lifting a pack of cigarettes) Mind?
Big Doc: (Sarcastically) I have no mind. I am the village idiot.
Mcclean: (Lighting a cigarette) I always make it a rule to smoke in the can. And what else is a room with half-breeds in it, eh, Nuggs? (Dino’s move is checked by Nuggs. Mcclean speaks again, pleasantly) Clear out, Spics. Sure it’s a free country and I ain’t got the right. But it’s a country with laws and I can find the right. I got badge, you got the skin. It’s tough all over. Beat it!
A second. Then Nuggs nods once to Dino, who nods to his gang. Slowly, they file out. Dino stands next to the door with his right hand on his heart whistling “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” as his gang exits proudly. They joins in. Once all of them exits, Dino exits give the Jets the middle finger and ending the whistling with a sardonic lick offstage.
Mcclean: (Still pleasant) From their angle, sure. Say, where's the rumble gonna be? Ah, look: I know regular American don't rub with the gold teeth otherwise. The river? The park? (Silence.) I'm for you. I want this beat cleaned up and you can do it for me. I'll even lend a hand if it gets rough. Where ya gonna rumble? The playground? Sweeney's lot? (Angered by the silence.) Ya think I'm a lousy stool pigeon? I wanna help ya get rid of them spics! (He exits)
Nuggs: (Looks his gang) Alright Jets clear out. Need to get some shut eye for tomorrow night. (The jets exits and Nuggs comes over to Tommy B) Good to see you made it Buddy Boy. See ya tomorrow night. (He exits)
Big Doc: (Indicating Mcclean) Wouldn’t give me a mouth like his.
Tommy B: Forget him. From here on in, everything goes my way. (He starts to clean up, to turn out the lights)
Big Doc: You think it’ll really be a fair fight?
Tommy B: Yeah.
Big Doc: What have you been takin’ tonight?
Tommy B: (Looks at the ceiling with a smile) A trip to the moon. (Looks at Big Doc) And I’ll tell you a secret. It isn’t a man that’s up there, Big Doc. It’s a girl, a lady. (Opens the door.) Buenos noches, senor.
Big Doc: Buenos noches?! So that’s why you made it a fair fight. (Tommy B smiles) …Tommy B…things aren’t tough enough?
Tommy B: Tough? Big Doc, I’m in love.
Big Doc: How do you know?
Tommy B: Because…there isn’t any other way I could feel.
Big Doc: And you’re not frightened?
Tommy B: Should I be? (He opens the door and exits)
Big Doc: Why? I’m frightened enough for both of you. (He turns out the last light)
The stage is dark.
