GRAFFITI PETE:
Yo, yo!
They throwin' bottles in the street
People lookin' and shootin'
Sonny, they wanna see a robbery
We gotta keep movin'!

SONNY:
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.

SONNY:
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

SONNY:
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...

SONNY:
It's late and this grate won't
Come down
Come down!

CARLA:
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!

SONNY:
It's late and this grate won't
Come down!
We are powerless!
We are powerless!
We are powerless!

Daniela:
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!


NEIGHBORS:
We are powerless!
We are powerless!
We are powerless!
We are powerless!
Powerless!

We are powerless!

SONNY:
We are powerless!
Powerless!
