Under the Highway - 9:00 p.m.
? No. 11 Rumble
(The gangs come in from separate sides. Bernardo and Diesel
are just beginning the "fair fight" when Tony tries to stop
them. Riff hits Bernardo and both open knives. As Riff is
about to kill Bernardo Tony moves to stop him. Bernardo runs
his knife into Riff. Riff falls toward Tony; Tony takes the
knife from his hand and kills Bernardo. The gangs disperse in
panic and confusion, except for Tony who stands, horrified,
over the bodies of Riff and Berbardo. Suddenly he realizes the
danger and runs.)
