terb’s world: my favorite things

Twilight (both the saga and the movie) is currently my favorite guilty pleasure, so I decided to write some of my favorite movie quotes. I got all these from watching the movie again for the fifth time in three days. One thing I love about it is the number of lines directly lifted (or with very, very minor changes) from the books, so I put an asterisk on each quote if this is the case. Anyway, here are my favorites from the first half of the movie. You can read my favorites from the second half here. By the way, sorry if some of the quotes are pretty long – when I like a scene, I couldn’t help but transcribe everything. Oh well.

———-

Bella: (narrating) One of the best things about Charlie is he doesn’t hover. *

———-

Jacob: (introducing himself to Bella) Hi, I’m… I’m Jacob. We used to make mudpies when we were little.

———-

Billy: (watching Bella and Jacob get in Bella’s truck to try it out for the first time) I’m down with the kids.
Charlie: (sarcastically) Oh yeah, dude, you’re the bomb.

———-

Eric: (approaching Bella on her first day at school) You’re Isabella Swan, the new girl. Hi, I’m Eric, the eyes and ears of this place. Anything you need… tour guide, lunch date, shoulder to cry on….

———-

Jessica: (on first meeting Bella) Hey, you’re from Arizona, right?
Bella: Yeah.
Jessica: Aren’t people from Arizona supposed to be…. really tan?
Bella: Yeah, maybe… that’s why they kicked me out.

———-

Jessica: (telling Bella about Alice Cullen) She’s with Jasper, the blonde one who looks like he’s in pain.

———-

Eric: (to Bella) Hey, listen, I was wondering… Do you have a, a date…
Mike: (suddenly coming and shaking his wet cap over Bella) ‘Sup, Arizona? You liking the rain, girl? (Bella makes her escape)
Eric: Mike, hey, you’re real cute, man.

———-

Edward: (tentatively) Hello. I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to introduce myself last week. I’m Edward Cullen, you’re Bella…
Bella: Um, yeah.

———-

Bella: (during Biology class) You were gone.
Edward: Yeah. (trying to think of an excuse) I was out of town for a couple of days… (smiles) Personal reasons.
Bella: (looks in the microscope, and pushes it to Edward) Prophase. *
Edward: Do you… mind if I look? (Bella nods, Edward looks in the microscope) Prophase. *
Bella: Like I said.
Edward: (smiles) So you’re enjoying the rain?
Bella: You’re asking me about the weather?
Edward: Yeah, I… I guess I am.
Bella: I don’t really like the rain. Any cold, wet thing, I don’t really… (Edward smiles ironically) What?
Edward: Nothing… (looks in the microscope) Anaphase.
Bella: Do you mind if I check?
Edward: Sure.
Bella: (looks in the microscope) Anaphase.
Edward: Like I said. (smiles) If you don’t like the rain so much, why did you move to the worst place in the continental US?
Bella: It’s complicated. *
Edward: I’m sure I can keep up. *

———-

Bella: (looking at Edward) Hey, did you get contacts? *
Edward: No. *
Bella: Your eyes… were black the last time I saw you. Now they’re like… golden brown.
Edward: Yeah, I know, it’s the, uh… fluorescents. (walks away)

———-

Bella: How did you get over to me so fast? *
Edward: I was standing right next to you, Bella. *
Bella: No, you were next to your car… across the lot.
Edward: No I wasn’t. *
Bella: Yes you were!
Edward: Bella, you hit your head. You’re confused. *
Bella: I know what I saw.
Edward: And what exactly was that?
Bella: You… stopped the van. You pushed it away with your hand.
Edward: Well, nobody’s going to believe you. *
Bella: I wasn’t gonna tell anybody. I just need to know… the truth. *
Edward: Can’t you just thank me and get it over with? *
Bella: Thank you. *
Edward: You’re not going to let this go, are you? *
Bella: No. *
Edward: Well then, I hope you enjoy disappointment. *

———-

Edward: What’s in Jacksonville?
Bella: How did you know about that?
Edward: You’re not answering my question.
Bella: Well, you don’t answer any of mine, so… (pauses) I mean, you don’t even say hi to me.
Edward: Hi.
Bella: Are you going to tell me how you stopped the van?
Edward: Yeah. I had an… adrenaline rush. It’s very common. You can Google it.

———-

Edward: Bella, we shouldn’t be friends.
Bella: You really should’ve figured it out a little earlier. Why didn’t you just let the van crush me and save yourself all this… regret? *
Edward: You think I regret saving you? *
Bella: I can see that you do. *
Edward: You don’t know anything. *
Alice: (approaching with a smile) Hi, are you gonna be riding with us?
Edward: No, our bus is full. (turns back on Bella)

———-

Eric: (seeing Bella approach) Hey… La Push, baby, are you in?
Bella: Should I know what that means?

———-

Eric: And I don’t just surf the internet.
Jessica: Eric, you stood up ONE TIME. And it was a foam board.

———-

Eric: La Push, baby. It’s… La Push.
Bella: I’ll go if you stop saying that.
Mike: Seriously dude, it’s creepy.

———-

Edward: (approaching Bella at the cafeteria and offering the apple to her) Bella.
Bella: You know your mood swings are kinda giving me whiplash.
Edward: I only said it would be better if we weren’t friends, not that I didn’t want to be. *
Bella: What does that mean?
Edward: It means if you’re smart… you’ll stay away from me. *
Bella: Okay, let’s say for argument’s sake that I’m not smart. Will you tell me the truth?
Edward: No, probably not. I’d rather hear your theories.
Bella: I have considered radioactive spiders and kryptonite. *
Edward: That’s all superhero stuff, right? What if I’m not the hero? What if I’m… the bad guy? *

———-

Edward: (after Bella invited him to La Push) I don’t know.
Bella: Is there something wrong with that beach?
Edward: It’s just a little… crowded. (next shot is of the deserted beach)

———-

Laurent: James, let’s not play with our food.

———-

Edward: I should go back there and rip those guys’ heads off.
Bella: Um… No, you shouldn’t.
Edward: You don’t know the vile, repulsive things they were thinking.
Bella: And you do?
Edward: It’s not hard to guess… Can you talk about something else? Distract me so I won’t turn around.
Bella: (at a loss for what to say) You should put your seat belt on.
Edward: (laughs, surprised) You should put your seat belt on!

———-

Bella: You’re really not gonna eat?
Edward: No, I’m on a special… diet.
Bella: You gotta give me some answers.
Edward: Yes, no… To get to the other side… 1.77245…
Bella: I don’t need to know what the square root of pi is.
Edward: You knew that?
Bella: How did you know where I was?
Edward: I didn’t. (Bella stands up in a huff) Don’t leave.
Bella: Did you… follow me?
Edward: I feel very protective of you.
Bella: So you followed me.
Edward: I was trying to keep a distance unless you needed my help, and then I heard what those low-lives were thinking…
Bella: Wait, you said you heard what they were thinking? So, what… you read minds?
Edward: I can read every mind in this room…. apart from yours. Money… sex…. money… sex…. cat…. And then you… Nothing. It’s very frustrating.
Bella: Is there something wrong with me? *
Edward: See I tell you I can read minds, and you think there’s something wrong with you?
Bella: What is it?
Edward: I don’t have the strength to stay away from you anymore. *
Bella: Then don’t.

———-

Bella: You’re impossibly fast, and strong…. Your skin is pale white and ice cold. Your eyes change color. And sometimes you speak like you’re from a different time. You never eat or drink anything. You don’t go out in the sunlight… (pauses) How old are you? *
Edward: Seventeen. *
Bella: How long have you been seventeen? *
Edward: (pause) A while. *
Bella: I know what you are.
Edward: Say it, out loud, say it.
Bella: Vampire.
Edward: Are you afraid?
Bella: No.
Edward: Then ask me the most basic question. What do we eat?
Bella: You won’t hurt me…
