Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone else, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
-Bella
My primary motivation behind buying a car, despite the scarcity of my funds, was that I refused to be driven around town in a car with red and blue lights on top. Nothing slows down traffic like a cop.
-Bella
I can do this, I lied to myself feebly. No one was going to bite me.
-Bella
I considered taking out the rear of his shiny Volvo, but there were too many witnesses.
-Bella
Stupid, shiny Volvo owner.
-Bella
I decided as long as I was going to hell, I might as well do it thoroughly.
-Edward
What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy?
-Edward
Honestly — I’ve seen corpses with better color. I was concerned that I might have to avenge your murder.
-Edward
Do I dazzle you?
-Edward
I’ve never tried to keep a specific person alive before, and it’s much more troublesome than I would have believed. But that’s probably just because it’s you. Ordinary people seem to make it through the day without so many catastrophes.
About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin.
You already know how I feel, of course. I’m here… which, roughly translated, means I would rather die than stay away from you.
-Bella
And so the lion fell in love with the lamb…
What a stupid lamb.
What a sick, masochistic lion.
You’re as white as a ghost — no, you’re as white as me!
-Edward
Are you still faint from the run? Or was it my kissing expertise?
-Edward
Yeah, it’s an off day when I don’t get somebody telling me how edible I smell.
-Bella
And you’re worried, not because you’re headed to meet a houseful of vampires, but because you think those vampires won’t approve of you, correct?
-Edward
You’re still waiting for the running and the screaming, aren’t you?
-Bella
She’s diabolical.
-Emmet
You brought a snack.
-James
Humans can be very predictable; they like to be somewhere familiar, somewhere safe. And wouldn’t it be the perfect ploy, to go to the last place you should be when you’re hiding — the place that you said you’d be.
-James
I’m betting on Alice.
-Bella
Twilight, again. Another ending. No matter how perfect the day is, it always has to end.
-Edward
