GRAFFITI
PETE:
Yo,

They
throwin'
bottles
in
the
street
People
lookin'
and
shootin'
Sonny,
they
wanna
see
a
robbery
We
gotta
keep
movin'!
Naw,
man,
I
can't
leave
We
gotta
guard
the
store.
GRAFFITI
PETE:
They
gonna
bombard
the
store
Until
you
ain't
got
a
store
no
more.
I
got
a
baseball
bat
And
a
rack
in
the
back...
GRAFFITI
PETE:
(Opening
a
book
bag.)
I
got
a
couple
roman
candles
We
can
distract
the
vandals
Hey,
yo,
I
see
some
thugs
comin',
Man,
we
gonna
get
jacked
up
GRAFFITI
PETE:
Gimme
a
light,
I'll
be
right
back
Back
up--
GRAFFITI
PETE/SONNY:
Back
up,
back
up!
(We
hear
an
explosion.)
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Look
at
the
fireworks
fly!
Light
up
the
night
sky...
Light
up
the
night
sky!
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Look
at
the
fireworks
fly!
Light
up
the
night
sky...
Light
up
the
night
sky!
It's
late
and
this
grate
won't
Come
down
Come
down!
Oh
God
So
much
panic!
The
crowd
is
manic
With
everyone
Screaming
and
Shoving
and
Shouting
and
Slapping
and
Everyone's
frantic
What's
happening
with
you?
We
are
powerless!
It's
late
and
this
grate
won't
Come
down!
We
are
powerless!
We
are
powerless!
We
are
powerless!
Mira,
mi
amor
Hazme
un
favor
Despierta
la
abuela
Y
a
lo
mejor
ella
Tiene
una
vela
Estuve
bailando
Cuando
vino
el
Apagon
Aqui
may
gente
pero
No
se
quienes
son!
We
are
powerless!
We
are
powerless!
We
are
powerless!
We
are
powerless!
Powerless!
We
are
powerless!
We
are
powerless!
Powerless!
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Abuela,
are
you
alright?
Light
up
the
night
sky...
ABUELA
CLAUDIA:
The
stars
are
out
tonight!
Look
at
the
fireworks...
You're
not
alone
tonight.
Light
up
the
night
sky...
USNAVI/ABUELA
CLAUDIA:
You're/I'm
not
alone
tonight.
ABUELA
CLAUDIA:
Usnavi,
please
promise
me
You'll
guard
this
with
your
life.
Abuela,
I've
never
seen---
USNAVI/ABUELA
CLAUDIA:
This
much
money
in
my
life!
Nina,
there
you
are!
I've
gotta
go.
I'll
get
you
out
of
here
tonight.
I
don't
need
anything
tonight!
I
can
find
my
way
home--
Then
find
your
way
home!
Without
you--
NINA/BENNY:
Without
you...
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Look
at
the
fireworks...
Light
up
the

They

illuminated
by
fireworks.)
