Thanks to TwilightGuide.com.
1. I could imagine the frustration pulling his black eyebrows together and crumpling his forehead. If I’d been there, I might have laughed. Don’t give yourself a brain hemorrhage, Jacob, I would have told him. Just spit it out. (Bella)
2. The word boyfriend had me chewing on the inside of my cheek with a familiar tension while I stirred. It wasn’t the right word, not at all. I needed something more expressive of eternal commitment… But words like destiny and fate sounded hokey when you used them in casual conversation. (Bella)
3. There’s no law that says I can’t cook in my own house. (Charlie)
4. It worked — your cooking skills have me soft as a marshmallow. (Bella)
5. So I’m thinking maybe you deserve a parole for good behavior. For a teenager, you’re amazingly non-whiney. (Charlie)
6. Isn’t Edward up for a little healthy competition? (Charlie)
7. You and Billy gossip like old women. (Bella)
8. I want to be a monster, too. (Bella)
9. Monsters are not a joke, Bella. (Edward)
10. You know it’s out of the question for you to be around a werewolf unprotected, Bella. And it would break the treaty if any of us cross over onto their land. Do you want us to start a war? (Edward)
11. If we could bottle your luck, we’d have a weapon of mass destruction on our hands. (Edward)
12. If Jacob hadn’t helped me… I’m not sure what you would have come home to. I owe him better than this, Edward. (Bella)
13. I’ll never forgive myself for leaving you. Not if I live a hundred thousand years. (Edward)
14. If I’d never left, you wouldn’t feel the need to go risk your life to comfort a dog. (Edward)
15. Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-t-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I’d allow it, she’d love to dress me every day — perhaps several times a day — like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll. (Bella)
16. I’m sure I still have boundaries — like the continental U.S., for example. (Bella)
17. You know how I am with tools. No pain was inflicted intentionally. (Bella)
18. The outside world holds no interest for me without you. (Edward)
19. It’s not like I’m headed off to Vegas to be a showgirl or anything. I’m going to see Mom. (Bella)
20. Interceded? You threw me to the sharks! (Bella)
21. Edward and Alice playing chess was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen. They’d sat there nearly motionless, staring at the board, while Alice foresaw the moves he would make and he picked the moves she would make in return out of her head. They played most of the game in their minds; I think they’d each moved two pawns when Alice suddenly flicked her king over and surrendered. It took all of three minutes. (Bella)
22. Please tell me you are not trying to have a sex talk with me, Charlie. (Bella)
23. I really wish you were not forcing me to say this out loud, Dad. Really. But… I am a… virgin, and I have no immediate plans to change that status. (Bella)
24. Shut your window if you want me to stay away tonight. I’ll understand. (Edward)
25. Renée is so much more… perceptive than Charlie in some ways. It was making me jumpy. (Bella)
26. There’s something… strange about the way you two are together. The way he watches you — it’s so… protective. Like he’s about to throw himself in front of a bullet to save you or something. (Renee)
27. The way you move — you orient yourself around him without even thinking about it. When he moves, even a little bit, you adjust your position at the same time. Like magnets… or gravity. You’re like a… satellite, or something. (Renee)
28. With a sense of astonishment, I realized that Jacob looked dangerous to them. How odd. (Bella)
29. Sorry. I don’t have any leeches on my speed dial. (Jacob)
30. Edward cut him off mid-sentence, and his face was abruptly frightening — truly frightening. For a second, he looked like… like a vampire. (Bella)
31. I wasn’t about to send you off alone. With your luck, not even the black box would survive. (Edward)
32. I’d wait till we were close enough to the ground, get a good grip on you, kick out the wall, and jump. Then I’d run you back to the scene of the accident, and we’d stumble around like the two luckiest survivors in history. (Edward)
33. Did you see the size of that Jacob kid? I think he could take Cullen down. (Mike)
34. I’m really glad Edward didn’t kill you. Everything’s so much more fun with you around. (Emmett)
35. So the consensus was that I was just supposed to forget that a deranged vampire was stalking me, intent on my death. (Bella)
36. I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you. (Edward)
37. Alice was certainly just as capable of crippling my truck as Edward was. (Bella)
38. The fortune-telling bloodsucker can’t see us? Seriously? That’s excellent! (Jacob)
39. I love him. Not because he’s beautiful or because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him. How hard is that to understand? (Bella)
40. You know, Jacob, you’re awfully self-righteous — considering that you’re a werewolf and all. (Bella)
41. They shouldn’t exist. Their existence goes against nature. (Jacob)
42. What I am was born in me. It’s a part of who I am, who my family is, who we all are as a tribe — it’s the reason why we’re still here. (Jacob)
43. Normal humans can’t throw motorcycles around the way you can. (Bella)
44. Normal humans run away from monsters, Bella. And I never claimed to be normal. Just human. (Jacob)
45. Most people fall in and out of love many times in their lives. It was just that I’d seen Sam with Emily, and I couldn’t imagine him with someone else. The way he looked at her… well, it reminded me of a look I’d seen sometimes in Edward’s eyes — when he was looking at me.(bella)
46. You think I should be as forgiving as you are? We can’t all be saints and martyrs. (Jacob)
47. Am I the only one who has to get old? I get older every stinking day! Damn it! What kind of world is this? Where’s the justice? (Bella)
48. Did you seriously just stamp your foot? I thought girls only did that on TV. (Jacob)
49. I’m a pro at weird. (Bella)
50. I don’t care who’s a vampire and who’s a werewolf. That’s irrelevant. You are Jacob, and he is Edward, and I am Bella. And nothing else matters. (Bella)
51. I believe that. But I want you to know something — when it comes to all this enemies nonsense, I’m out. I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures. Jacob is family. You are… well, not exactly the love of my life, because I expect to love you for much longer than that. The love of my existence. I don’t care who’s a werewolf and who’s a vampire. If Angela turns out to be a witch, she can join the party, too. (Bella)
52. Well… don’t be offended, but you smell like a dog. (Edward)
53. You’re kidnapping me, aren’t you? (Bella)
54. Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior. (Bella)
55. You are in trouble. Enormous trouble. Angry grizzly bears are going to look tame next to what is waiting for you at home. (Bella)
56. This hostage stuff is fun. (Alice)
57. Porsches as bribes and king-sized beds in houses where nobody slept — it was beyond irritating. (Bella)
58. If we had happy endings, we’d all be under gravestones now. (Rosalie)
59. Why don’t you just lock me in the basement, and forget the sugar coating? (Bella)
60. So what’s the latest pack scandal? (Bella)
61. It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like… gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother. (Jacob)
62. I traded a lifetime of servitude for a box of conversation hearts. That’s not something I’m likely to forget. (Bella)
63. You’d be better off dead. I rather you were. (Jacob)
64. I’m going to spontaneously combust one of these days — and you’ll have no one but yourself to blame. (Bella)
65. You can hold me hostage any time you want. (Bella)
66. You’re quite adorable when you’re jealous. It’s surprisingly enjoyable. (Edward)
67. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. (Edward)
68. There’s… well, there’s this other problem that’s slightly more worrisome than a bratty teenage werewolf…(Bella)
69. Is it really so impossible to wear clothes, Jacob? (Bella)
70. What do I look like, a pack mule? (Jacob)
71. Does my being half-naked bother you? (Jacob)
72. What’s it like — having a vampire for a boyfriend? (Jacob)
73. What’s it like — having a werewolf for a best friend? (Jacob)
74. One of the many hazards of socializing with vampires. It makes you smell bad. A minor hazard, comparatively. (Jacob)
75. Okay! Time for the werewolf to get out! (Bella)
76. It gets easier. After a few decades, everyone you know is dead. Problem solved. (Edward)
77. Do you ever think that your life might be easier if you weren’t in love with me? (Edward)
78. It was stupid to want to go hang out with a bunch of big idiot wolf-boys right now when there was so much that was frightening and unexplained going on. Of course, that was exactly why I wanted to go. I wanted to escape the death threats, for just a few hours . . . to be the less-mature, more-reckless Bella who could laugh it off with Jacob, if only briefly. (Bella)
79. Hanging out with no one but extremely dexterous people all the time was going to give me a complex. (Bella)
80. Other than a few teasing complaints — mostly by Paul — about keeping the bloodsucker stench downwind, I was treated like someone who belonged. (Bella)
81. What’s the best part? You swallowing an entire cow whole? (Bella)
82. And your chocolate fur reflects what? How sweet you are? (Sam)
83. How can someone so tiny by so annoying? (Edward)
84. If there were any way for me to become human for you — no matter what the price was, I would pay it. (Edward)
85. I’m not that girl, Edward. The one who gets married right out of high school like some small-town hick who got knocked up by her boyfriend! (Bella)
86. My instincts told me that there was danger, that the angel had meant it when she spoke of killing, but my judgment overruled my instincts. I had not been taught to fear women, but to protect them. (Jasper)
87. Jasper shows up, covered in battle scars, towing this little freak who greets them all by name, knows everything about them, and wants to know which room she can move into. (Edward)
88. I hate being babysat. (Bella)
89. Do me a favor and challenge him to an arm-wrestling match. It would be a good experience for him. (Edward)
90. I wanted to make both of them get out of their cars and shake hands and be friends — be Edward and Jacob rather than vampire and werewolf. It was as if I had those two stubborn magnets in my hands again, and I was holding them together, trying to force nature to reverse herself… (Bella)
91. Hey, it’s the least I can do — I offered eternal servitude, remember. I’m your slave for life. (Jacob
92. I miss you when you’re not there. When you’re happy, it makes me happy. But I could say the same thing about Charlie, Jacob. You’re family. I love you, but I’m not in love with you. (Bella)
93. You can have me the way I am — bad behavior included — or not at all. (Jacob)
94. You love me, too. Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice — me. (Jacob)
95. Until your heart stops beating, Bella. I’ll be here — fighting. Don’t forget that you have options. (Jacob)
96. I can’t wait to see what Edward does to you! I hope he snaps your neck, you pushy, obnoxious, moronic DOG! (Bella)
97. I’ll give you passionate. Murder, the ultimate crime of passion. (Bella)
98. If I think about you tonight, it will be because I’m having a nightmare. (Bella)
99. When he left, you spent all your energy holding on to him. You could be happy if you let go. You could be happy with me. (Jacob)
100. That was not kissing back, that was trying to get you the hell off of me, you idiot. (Bella)
101. Next time you want to hit me, use a baseball bat or a crowbar, okay? (Jacob)
102. I’m not going to kill you now, because it would upset Bella. (Edward)
103. But if you ever bring her back damaged again — and I don’t care whose fault it is; I don’t care if she merely trips, or if a meteor falls out of the sky and hits her in the head — if you return her to me in less than the perfect condition that I left her in, you will be running with three legs. Do you understand that, mongrel? (Edward)
104. She is mine. I didn’t say I would fight fair. (Edward)
105. I punched a werewolf in the face. (Bella)
106. I guess I could throw in a few extra homicides, if it makes Jasper happy. Why not? (Bella)
