TWILIGHT: NEW MOON script

After an incident at her birthday party, Edward leaves Bella, sending her into a deep depression, during which she forms a close bond with Jacob Black and discovers he is a werewolf. Bella learns that the vampire Victoria is hunting her, and after a dangerous cliff dive, Alice Cullen returns, believing Bella is dead, prompting Edward to seek his own demise with the Volturi in Italy. Bella and Alice race to Volterra, successfully preventing Edward's suicide, and the Volturi, intrigued by Bella's unique abilities, demand her transformation into a vampire. Back in Forks, the Cullens vote for Bella to become a vampire, with Edward agreeing to change her after graduation, much to the dismay of Jacob, who reminds them of the treaty.

Dialogue examples

He missed some school - then, out of nowhere, he's following Sam around. Same thing happened with Paul and Jared. They weren't even friends, now Sam owns them. Sam keeps giving me this look, like he's waiting for me or something; it's kinda freaking me out.

Jacob Black / Scene 38

Kind of? I mean, at first I was worried. Then I'm like, okay, she's still bumming? It's not like I wasn't going through things, too. Like Mike deciding he wanted to "just be friends?" That was really hard and --

Bella Swan / Scene 28

Maybe Jacob's right. No. You need to realize - the Volturi could easily see me as Edward's accomplice. And you're a human who knows too much and tastes too good. They could kill us all.

Alice Cullen / Scene 72

I don't think he will. After all, how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected? Victoria sent me here for information. She won't be happy about my killing you.

char_18 / Scene 42

Save the lecture, Chief. Soon as the garbage truck hauls `em off, you and my wife can rest easy. Oh, hey, what's the word on that bear problem? Folks are saying they're huge.

Charlie Swan / Scene 27

Try to understand. Every second with you is about restraint. You're too fragile. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not. Reining myself in so I can be with a human.

Edward Cullen / Scene 17

No, no, no. Don't be upset. I'm doing you a kindness. Victoria plans on killing you slowly, painfully - whereas I'll make it very quick. And you smell so... mouth watering.

char_18 / Scene 42

Yeah right. I know what it's like, you know. When your mom left me. I had a hell of a time. Imagined doing all kinds of crazy things, just to stop the pain.

Charlie Swan / Scene 37
