art not conquered.
Beauty's ensign yet is crimson
in thy lips and in thy cheeks.
And death's pale flag
is not advanced there.
BELLA: I hate being celebrated.
EDWARD: There are worse tragedies.
I mean, look at Romeo.
Killed his true love
out of sheer stupidity.
BELLA: Yeah.
Though I do envy him one thing.
BELLA: Juliet is, like, perfect.
If you like
that obviously beautiful sort of thing.
(EDWARD LAUGHS)
Not the girl, the suicide.
Iќs nearly impossible for...
For some people.
For humans, a little poison,
a dagger to the heart.
There's so many different options.
Why would you say that?
Because I had to consider it once.
(BELLA SCREAMING)
I didn't know if I'd get to you in time.
I had to come up with some kind of plan.
What was the plan?
That I'd go to Italy
and provoke the Volturi.
- The what?
- The Volturi.
MR. BERTY: Now, who'd like to repeat
the last few lines of iambic pentameter
just to show they were paying attention?
Mr. Cullen?
(INHALES DEEPLY)
Yes, Mr. Berty.
"O here will I set up my everlasting rest
"and shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
from this world-wearied flesh.
"Eyes, look your last.
"Arms, take your last embrace!
"And, lips, O you, the doors of breath,
"seal with a righteous kiss a dateless
bargain to engrossing death!"
Eyes on the screen, people.
ROMEO: Thus with a kiss I die.
The Volturi are a very old,
very powerful family.
I guess they're the closest thing
to royalty my world has.
- Is that Carlisle?
- Yeah.
He lived with them for a few decades.
Described them as very refined.
No respect for human life, of course,
but a respect for the arts
and the sciences, at least.
And the law.
Above all, the law.
BELLA: Vampires have laws?
EDWARD: Not very many.
And only one thaќs regularly enforced.
BELLA: What is it?
EDWARD: That we keep the existence
of our kind a secret.
We don't make spectacles of ourselves,
and we don't kill conspicuously.
Unless, of course, you want to die.
(SCREAMS)
You gotta stop talking about that.
I can't even think
about someone hurting you.
Bella, the only thing that can hurt me
is you.
And I don't have anything else
to be afraid of.
Thaќs not true.
Victoria? She'll come for me one day.
Alice will see when she decides,
and we'll be ready.
I could protect you
if you change me.
Bella, you already do protect me.
You're my only reason
to stay alive,
if thaќs what I am.
But iќs my job to protect you.
(BELLA SIGHS)
From everyone except my sister.
Iќs time!
Iќs time. Iќs time. Iќs time!
(THR VIOLRTHOUA PLAYING)
Your lips are nettles
Your tongue is wine
You're left as liquid
But your body's pine
DR. CULLEN: Sorry about all this.
- We tried to rein Alice in.
- As if that were even possible.
- Happy birthday, Bella.
- Thanks.
I found it in your bag. You mind?
Dating an older woman. Hot.
(SIGHS EEXSPERATEDLY)
- What?
- You first, Rosalie.
Iќs a necklace. Alice picked it out.
Thanks.
Show me the love.
This one's from Emmett.
Already installed it in your truck.
Finally a decent sound system
- for that piece of...
- Hey! Don't hate the truck.
ALICE LAUGHS)
Open Esme and Carlisle's.
DR. CULLEN: Just a little something
to brighten your day.
Yes, you've been looking
kind of pale lately.
Ow.
Paper cut.
(GLASS SHATTERING)
(JASPER GROWLS)
Jaz, Jaz. Iќs okay. Iќs just a little
blood.
(GASPS SOFTLY)
(JASPER SNARLS)
DR. CULLEN: Get Jasper out of here.
(BELLA GASPS)
I'm sorry, I can't.
I'll have to stitch this up in my office.
Check on Jasper.
I'm sure he's very upset with himself,
and I doubt he'll listen to anyone
but you right now.
Edward.
(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY)
BELLA: I never wanted to have a party.
DR. CULLEN: Iќs not your fault.
Jasper hasn't been away from human blood
as long as the rest of us.
How do you do it?
Years and years of practice.
Did you ever think
of just doing it the easy way?
No.
I knew who I wanted to be.
I wanted to help people.
It
